I’d love Barclays to post the withdrawal slip online for about £27.64 It would also be hilarious if the other banks refused to take his custom so he was left bankless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2023 He thinks he can cause a run on the bank by publicly stating he wants to completely withdraw his cash from them, thinking that his platform will cause others to follow suit and force the bank to act as he wishes through the threat of making them unable to operate. The problem with this is nobody gives a flying **** what Laurence Fox thinks about anything, so he comes across as a pompous self obsessed clearing in the woods. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Imagine how completely malleable you are if one of your political mouthpieces influenced you into changing banks. Why do you want to close your Post Office account? Because Dave Nellist suggested it might be a good idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actress Emma Thompson and film director Richard Curtis are two of the campaigners who said Barclays was "profiting from climate chaos". Wimbledon said Barclays was committed to creating access to sport for all. Barclays said it was one of the first banks to set an ambition to become net zero by 2050. The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) announced Barclays as an official banking partner of the Championships in November last year. As the 2023 Championships get under way on Monday, Thompson and Curtis are among those to sign an open letter to the AELTC. The letter is from Make My Money Matter, a campaign group co-founded by Curtis that seeks to transform the financial system to put "people and planet on a par with profit".

I just assumed it was Fox being an attention seeking prick, like he always is Barclays wasn't even the bank Farage was with. Or it could be that he incorrectly thinks that he's a Politically Exposed Person and he has something to hide, like where his money is coming from 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Tuesday 1st July at 1pm, additional space in there, so probably thought of adding "of" then removed it, let alone him getting the date or day wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 4, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2023 I think pretty much everyone who has half a clue knew there was a lower limit for Coutts, it's the bank of the Royal Family FFS. Even Farage knew this because he was an investment banker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
