Farage Bankcancelled

 

There is currently no neologism for the kind of abuse Nigel Farage has just suffered; something equivalent to "shadowbanned" or "doxed" which captures the feeling of life in our new modern censorship culture. Therefore I have just coined one: bankcancelled; it might catch on. Remember, you heard it on HPANWO first. Things were looking up for Nigel. He had just been voted "best news presenter" at the coveted Television and Radio Industries Club awards. His rivals included household names from Sky News and the BBC; but Nigel appears on GB News. It was a major kick in the teeth for the mainstream media. This could have led to a spiteful lust for revenge. Firstly, he was heckled as he made his acceptance speech, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iM2M1MBySo. The very next day, his bank shut all his accounts. You may think this is against the law, but it is not. Any bank has the right to withdraw financial services to any of their customers and they don't need to give a reason. However, according to their mission statements, the only time they usually do this is if the customer is very prodigal and runs up catastrophic debts. The only other contingency is for criminal matters; if, for example, the customer deposits stolen cash. Nigel is not the first person this has happened to. A few years ago a young woman from Leeds called Laura Towler also had her bank account summarily terminated and the bank gave her no explanation. She was pregnant at the time and had no way to pay her bills. Her "crime" was to be a member of a so-called "far right" organization.

Whatever your opinion of Laura's beliefs, you hopefully agree that we are entering a sinister age where an expectant mother can be robbed of the ability to pay or buy in an instant just because the bank feels like it. Now they've done the same to Nigel.
 
Not only has Nigel Farage lost his existing bank accounts, it appears he is on some kind of blacklist because he has been turned down from opening an account at other banks. This is a shocking escalation in the Deep State's backlash against dissident media voices. As Nigel explains, this is all the more devastating today in our increasingly cashless society (another reason to oppose that society). It is obvious that in the case of Nigel's bank, just like with Laura Towler's, somebody high up in the government has ordered the bank to do this. There is a term they use "PEP- politically exposed person", which could mean almost anything. It could be down to the usual nonsense spouted by Chris Bryant about Nigel being a Russian agent, as if that's at all original. In true fascist style, Nigel's family have also been targeted.

This persecution of citizens for their beliefs has to stop. We need some kind of free speech law that treats politics the same way it does religion. If you can't sack somebody from their job for being a Hindu then you shouldn't be able to sack somebody for doubting climate change either. As for banks; the pro-censors always say "But they're private companies, they can do what they like!" (Not Ashers Bakery though, see: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-59882444.) So are water providers, but they cannot lawfully cut off the water supply to your home. Private companies cannot dictate, especially when they provide life's essentials. Financial services should be considered the same. I wish Nigel all the best and will continue to defend him.
