Woke watch

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

"Alfred, Lord Tennyson has been named as an LGBT historical figure on a tour for schools, despite a lack of evidence that the poet had any homosexual relationships. The former poet laureate’s personal life has been swept up in a project aimed at “queering” the history of the Isle of Wight, and he has been included on a list of the island’s “notable LGBT people”. TBF IOW is more than queer enough"

Yorkshire docked 48 points and fined £400k over the Rafiq “ scandal “ Absolutely pathetic. Whole thing has been a farce.

"Leonard Hatred 12:13 Fri Jul 28 ""In return, the UK has provided £120 million in development funding to Rwanda. It will also pay for the processing and integration costs for each relocated person. Ministers expect these will be similar to asylum processing costs in the UK (around £12,000 per person). The UK has also committed to resettling a small but unspecified number of vulnerable refugees currently in Rwanda."" Of course they don't talk about the last bit very much. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9568/ ]"

The CEO of Nat West broke their own rules. Why would anyone bank with them who fulfils their commercial requirements?

"Anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller was told a bank account for her political party would close without explanation. Monzo initially refused to tell Ms Miller why her ""True and Fair"" party account would be closed in September. After the BBC contacted the bank about the case, it said it did not allow political party accounts and had made a mistake in allowing it to be opened. Monzo said it recognised the experience would have been ""frustrating for the customer and we're sorry for that”. Erm, is this supposed to represent some sort of equivalence with Coutts?"

"This is what happened 1) We don't like the cut of this man's jib. Let's close his account (per dossier) 2) We can't do that he satisfies our commercial criteria and hasn't actually done anything illegal. (per dossier) 3) OK, well, when he repays his mortgage, he won't satisfy the criteria, so we'll close his account then (per dossier) 4) Yeah, when he repays the mortgage, we won't say, 'Mr Farage, when you repay your mortgage, you will no longer satisfy our criteria for an account, so you need to either bung some cash in within a reasonable period or we'll transfer your account to our good friends at Nat West', they just closed it without warning (admitted facts). That is completely unacceptable. So let's not lose sight of what happened. Some on here seem to be saying, 'ah, yes, we know they have admitted closing his account for other than commercial reasons, and have confirmed this by accepting the resignations of both CEOs, and the government have confirmed this even though Farage is a political opponent, but actually, despite all this, they only closed it for commercial reasons'"

Take it out of mothballs Mike? Good luck with that seeing as it has been laying on the seabed of the Med some 30 miles north of the Algerian coast where it had caught fire and sank in March 1954.

"ray winstone 8:37 Thu Jul 27 There IS a solution on the table, at least from the post-Brexit UK government - send anyone & everyone arriving without papers/through the official channels to Rwanda to join the queue for processing along with all others who want to enter the UK. Rwanda cannot be a BAD place - one of the Premier League's big hitters promote it as a safe holiday destination, ffs. It's welcoming status is broadcast around the world when any game from the Emirates is on TV. Perhaps they should take the Windrush out of mothballs and use it in reverse. Either way, processing needs to take place off-shore."

Banks have been turned into policemen in some legislation. That is no reason for them to become moral guardians of law abiding people. I hope a lot more people get sacked.

There is a slightly worrying aspect in this Farage aside. The reason.of the lack.of transparency from.banks regarding them.not having to give reasons as to why an account might be closed relates to money laundering and not having to alert a customer they are being investigated. All.this could have a concerning impact ...and before anyone suggests it I am.not saying farage is a money laundered.

Got enough money? You can have an account at Coutts. Same with any financial institution. It’s a business and they are not obliged to take on your risk.

"the Bank provides a service, buying a car is completely different. Offer the correct amount and drive it away and keep it as long as you like. The bank is not allowed to discriminate regarding gender, creed, ethnicity etc but it can do so on the grounds of wealth level. It would also appear that the bank cannot refuse Putin appeasers. So goose why not apply to Coutts."
