Nigel Farage claims a “woke brigade” is marching through public and private companies after emails revealed NatWest staff gloated about the closure of his bank account in a series of sniggering internal messages.

The crowing remarks were handed over to the former Ukip leaders through a subject access request, and shone light on conversations among staff members who joked he had been “debanked” by Coutts, a NatWest subsidiary, and that they hoped it “knocked him down a peg or two.”

In an angry tirade agains the bank, Mr Farage also revealed the internal documents referred to him a “crackpot”, “sketchy” and “a fool”.

      You know what, I think you might be on to something here.

      But no, “Big Nige” would rather stoke the bogeyman and have the people with everything in common with one another, fight each other. Don’t for god’s sake look at what else is going on, just keep fighting the fucking nonsense culture war.

      Nigel, you’re a fucking twat, you’re not a man of the people, you’re a cunt. Now fuck off and bank with your foreign investors.

      Bell-end.

        Possibly not how I would have worded it but an absolutely spot on observation.

        Mine would have involved much more expletives…

    Aren’t invidividuals expressing free speech in a private company the anti woke ones? Sounds like Nigel’s the snowflake in this scenario.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nigel Farage claims a “woke brigade” is marching through public and private companies after emails revealed NatWest staff gloated about the closure of his bank account in a series of sniggering internal messages.

    The crowing remarks were handed over to the former Ukip leaders through a subject access request, and shone light on conversations among staff members who joked he had been “debanked” by Coutts, a NatWest subsidiary, and that they hoped it “knocked him down a peg or two.”

    In an angry tirade agains the bank, Mr Farage also revealed the internal documents referred to him a “crackpot”, “sketchy” and “a fool”.

    Mr Farage was also described in one of the emails as an “awful human being”, while another said they would have paid a significant sum to have been the one to tell the GB News presenter his account was being shut down.

    Following the publication Mr Farage called for former NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose, who quit over her role in the scandal, to have her multi million pound severance pay deal scrapped.

    Mr Farage said any payment to Dame Alison would be a “reward for failure” paid for by taxpayers, given the public’s 39 per cent ownership of the bank.
