The UK’s born-to-rule class of hedge fund managers, politicians, bureaucrats, CEOs, and old-money have never forgiven the former Member of the European Parliament, Nigel Farage, for dragging the nation out of the despotic European Union.
Perhaps that is why, as Nigel says in a recent video on Twitter, he may be chased out of the UK after his bank accounts were closed.
‘I’m beginning to think perhaps life in the United Kingdom is now becoming completely unlivable because of the prejudice against me.’
Alleging ‘serious political persecution’, Nigel suggests that the situation may be related to his politics in the European Union or that he may have been classed as a Politically Exposed Person. It’s one of those wishy-washy terms of service descriptions that ‘could range from anybody from a Prime Minister to a local councillor’ assigned in case they are open to bribery.
The establishment are trying to force me out of the UK by closing my bank accounts.
I have been given no explanation or recourse as to why this is happening to me.
This is serious political persecution at the very highest level of our system.
If they can do it to me, they… pic.twitter.com/O4xQ1h79ub

Insisting ‘there is nothing irregular or unusual about what I do’, Nigel was at a loss to explain the closure of his account with an unnamed bank he has been with since the 1980s. According to his video, he tried to open accounts with over half a dozen other banks, all of which declined. On the surface, there is no obvious reason for this rejection.
Nigel Farage’s relationship with the European Union threw an enormous stick into the engine of Globalist progress and his peers are desperately trying to get rid of it (and him) so they can go back to their lives of gluttony on the public purse.
Many in that world idolise the European Union and the showers of ‘free money’ and privilege it rains down upon them, but it’s little more than a group of people trapped in an expensive building with a near unlimited budget given the task of creating regulation for regulation’s sake. They are a body corporate squabbling over what colour to paint the bins while the Union is invaded by millions of illegal migrants and a war rages on a perimeter fence. The history books have a place for the EU bookmarked under ‘waste of money’.
Sovereignty is a dirty word inside these globalist circles, who are re-branded international socialists from last century. Their dream is a borderless world of frightened serfs that can be herded around into different tax cages, barked at by Covid, Climate Change, and terrorism.
In contrast, Nigel champions Middle England and tugs at Churchillian nostalgia, back to an age when men and women (yes, that scary binary) knew how to stand and fight against the creep of centralised power. He also proved how powerful one voice can be against the establishment, where not even his critics dare to contest his role in the success of Brexit.
Nigel is arguably just as powerful today, fronting GB News with a direct line into the homes of people around the world. (Bugger)Ofcom is trying its best to harass the network, excommunicating broadcasting legend Mark Steyn and hounding Neil Oliver and Lozza Fox. Ofcom wouldn’t bother unless their speech was doing damage to the preferred political narrative and there is certainly no indication that they apply their rules equally or fairly.
Censorship under the guise of ‘hate speech’ was the first weapon of choice against anti-establishment thinkers. It worked while social media was under the control of a unified Silicon Valley where advertising money and political donations successfully suppressed or outright deleted dissent. This was done for Climate Change and Covid to the point where victims of Big Pharma were erased from the digital sphere upon request of various governments. It’s a shocking abuse that is yet to be handled by the courts. Hopefully it will make it that far.
Elon Musk’s hostile acquisition of Twitter changed the landscape and, with the removal of community restrictions against Covid, the political narrative – globally – collapsed in short order. We should not underestimate how much damage Twitter did to the Covid vaccine stranglehold, which is why various bureaucracies and embarrassed government bodies – such as right here in Australia with Albanese – are trying to find a way to constrain Twitter.
It will be impossible – utterly impossible – to implement full Net Zero tyranny if the peasants can vent their rage from under the safety of Musk’s wing.
Nigel’s case demonstrates that rebellion against the Woke State is getting more difficult as the banks curl up next to Klaus Schwab and his cashed-up cronies.
We live in a world where illegals and convicted criminals can get bank accounts, but not law-abiding citizens guilty of wrong-think. This is a watershed moment and we crossed it under the cover of Covid. Right-wing and libertarian journalists have been complaining for years of persecution and removal from online banking services and pseudo-banks like PayPal, GoFundMe, and others who started passing moral judgements (rather than legal ones) on their customers.
Using the same shadowy ‘terms of service’ regulations as social media, banking and donation services were denied on these online platforms to customers without offering proof that a violation had taken place.
It was a situation that domestic governments should have fixed immediately by forcing online payment gateways to obey the same rules as real banks. Our governments never laid a paw on them because politicians found monetary discrimination against their political rivals, particularly independent journalists, useful. Left to fester, online payment gateways started to influence traditional banks and soon we had a situation where the world’s largest banks – including in Australia – started to say things like ‘they won’t give accounts or loans to businesses involved in coal’.
At this point, we are half a step from the banking industry micro-managing the direction of the economy and private business – pushing nations into the ideological prison designed by the United Nations and CEOs at the World Economic Forum. If they are allowed to team up with the Digital ID project, as is their express wish, banks will be able to instantly punish all of us for making social comments or ‘wrong’ purchases. Pay attention. This is coming.
The ideological social rot inside the Big Banks has weakened the scaffolding of the West. Incidents such as what happened to Nigel Farage are the sound of it creaking and buckling prior to collapse.
We know where this leads and have a worked example to learn from. During the Canadian Freedom Protests set up in opposition to Trudeau’s ruthless Covid laws where truck drivers were unable to operate without Covid vaccine passports, Trudeau leaned on GoFundMe after private citizens donated over $10 million to help ordinary people fight against what they saw as an unlawful direction.
Not only was the money taken from the protesters, but it was also originally meant to be redistributed – against the will of donors – to organisations directly opposed to the political narrative taking place. It was only public outrage and accusations of theft that saw the money returned to donors.
The Big Banks joined in on this witch-burning activity, agreeing to Trudeau’s demand to freeze the bank accounts of people involved in what is now seen as one of the most extraordinary abuses of political power against citizens in Canada’s history. The Prime Minister accused Canadian citizens of racism, hatred, intolerance, division, and domestic terrorism – all because they refused a vaccine.
The Press should have torn the government and banks apart over the whole thing but, with many in the Press having benefited from millions in funding from Covid interests, they chose to run soggy headlines mumbling something about Trudeau being ‘right’ to use Emergency Powers on the truckers – truckers who were waving the Canadian flag, singing the anthem, and begging for body autonomy against a vaccine that didn’t work and is now suspected of harming healthy people around the world. These are the people the Prime Minister declared ‘domestic terrorists’.
Canada is what happens when banks are allowed to play politics – all it takes is for a Trudeau-like figure to invoke Emergency Powers (which is insanely easy to do in an era of Climate and Biosecurity fanaticism) and dissenters can find their accounts and assets frozen. This is how dictatorships take hold of democracy. They secure the money.
As a professor a the Carleton University of Ottawa said in relation to the Trucker Protests: ‘Down the road, banks may decide that these are not people they want to provide financial services because they’ve engaged in illegal activity. Would someone want to give you a mortgage if you used your house to deal drugs? Probably not.’
Keep in mind that ‘illegal activity’ was a protest against vaccine mandates, which we are now comparing to drug dealing. It’s the same kind of heavy lifting ‘hate speech’ does when governments translate that to mean ‘opposing the Voice to Parliament’ or ‘objecting to trans surgery for kids’.
If we don’t do something about this, banking discrimination won’t be limited to political figures such as Nigel Farage or high-profile journalists – it’ll be you banging on an ATM screen after you criticised the Premier over the latest Net Zero tax. By then, it’ll be too late.
