Nigel Farage's bank account was closed due to concerns.

'The document flagged concerns that he was "xenophobic and racist", and also raised concerns about the reputational risk of having Mr Farage as a client.'

'Mr Farage said the BBC had fallen for "spin" and he had been "cancelled" for his political views.'

If a bakery can refuse #LGBTQ cake orders, then a bank can refuse xenophobes.

💰 A number of high-profile, politically exposed persons (#PEPs) – including Members of #Parliament amongst other political leaders – have had their private bank accounts closed over the past few months in the United Kingdom.

The most high-profile example is #Brexit leader Nigel #Farage, who was “#debanked” by #Coutts Bank last month because of his close relationship to former President #Trump, appearances on #InfoWars, and comments on other political movements.

It’s a shame #Coutts felt the need to apologise for simply stating the truth about xenophopic, chauvinistic, racist #Farage

Fair play to @jonsopel Like many anti-Brexit liberals, he was duped by inaccurate BBC reporting on the Coutts scandal. But at least he's had the guts to apologise to @nigel_farage for it

Jon Sopel: @nigel_farage Dear Nigel,
Always believed when I get things wrong, I own up to it. I got it wrong. Sorry. That will teach me to trust reporting of my old employer 😉 If your political views were even part of the reason why account was suspended from #Coutts that is totally reprehensible
