1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,639
all right Alexander let's do a follow-up
2
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:07,440
on the Nigel farage banking incident and
3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,559
uh it looks like the banks were lying uh
4
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:12,840
I believe the bank is uh is is named
5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,299
Coots cootsbank which uh canceled
6
00:00:15,299 --> 00:00:17,760
farage's bank account
7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,619
the CL it looks like they've been lying
8
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:22,439
it looks like the British media has been
9
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:25,019
lying as well as they were coming to the
10
00:00:25,019 --> 00:00:27,240
the defense of Coots for
11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,939
um debanking Nigel farage and it looks
12
00:00:29,939 --> 00:00:31,380
like they've been caught in a whole
13
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:34,680
bunch of lies because uh Nigel farage he
14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,899
uh he wanted the reasons as to why he
15
00:00:36,899 --> 00:00:39,360
was debanked and he he yeah he got the
16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,820
letter which explains the reasons and uh
17
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:43,739
he went public with that information and
18
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:45,719
it's because at least there's Delta
19
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:48,420
they're telling faraj it's not about you
20
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:51,059
know meeting the the account threshold
21
00:00:51,059 --> 00:00:52,800
and and you didn't meet that threshold
22
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,660
and so we're we're canceling your
23
00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:56,520
account it was for political and social
24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,920
issues his friendship with Trump his
25
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,260
friendship with novik Djokovic
26
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:04,140
his dad son uh or comments that he's
27
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:07,740
made about the lgbtq community
28
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:10,500
um videos that he's posted on social
29
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:12,960
media I mean stuff like that is the
30
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:16,340
reason that he was debanked
31
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:19,500
what uh what's going on there in uh
32
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:22,140
Britain this is some scary stuff well it
33
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:24,000
is very scary stuff and it's a very
34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,400
sordid and ugly affair because it also
35
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,520
shows you the banks are able to lie and
36
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,560
do lie about their decisions and it's
37
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,240
about about how they treat their
38
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,520
customers now let me just explain couth
39
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,759
is one of the oldest banks in Britain it
40
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:40,920
was created I think either in the 17th
41
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,439
or 18th century but it has long since
42
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,060
been absorbed into the NatWest RBS Group
43
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:50,820
which is one of the big Banks here in
44
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:54,780
Britain now it functions as the private
45
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:58,320
banking arm of NatWest now for those who
46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,799
don't know private banks are not
47
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:04,860
banks that have privately owned if they
48
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:10,098
are banks that handle the accounts of
49
00:02:10,098 --> 00:02:15,660
wealthy people of high value customers
50
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:18,480
and I believe that when it comes to
51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,640
Coots you need to be worth at least a
52
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,980
million pounds to be able to own an
53
00:02:22,980 --> 00:02:24,980
account there and they provide you with
54
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:28,140
additional Services over and Beyond the
55
00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:30,000
kind of services that normal Banks
56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
provide for example they help you with
57
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,020
your investment decisions to help you
58
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:37,200
with setting up trusts they do all kinds
59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,260
of things which just aren't available to
60
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:44,040
you know to to people who have ordinary
61
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,640
accounts so this is and of course they
62
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:50,040
they prize themselves on having a
63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,319
particular relationship a particularly
64
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,300
close relationship
65
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,180
with our customer I mean you have an
66
00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:59,280
actual person you can talk to whenever
67
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,860
you have an issue or a problem you can
68
00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:03,840
phone them pretty much any time of the
69
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,120
day or night that's what Coots does
70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,940
amongst the people who Banks and Coots
71
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:12,300
is King Charles III just let's just say
72
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,620
it's it's that sort of bank now
73
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:18,239
of course
74
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:20,400
by definition
75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,900
you have to be rich in order to be
76
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:28,440
a customer an account customer at Coots
77
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,060
so when the story circulated that Nigel
78
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:34,739
farage
79
00:03:34,739 --> 00:03:38,280
um had been he's he's accounted Coots
80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,799
had been closed he's been told that his
81
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:45,000
banking services with goose were closed
82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,379
um
83
00:03:46,379 --> 00:03:50,340
they spread Stories the banks spread
84
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:52,980
stories across the media that it was
85
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:56,280
because he wasn't Rich enough any longer
86
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,360
to bank at Coots and it actually became
87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,159
really Sinister because you've got all
88
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,019
sorts of people reporting on this story
89
00:04:04,019 --> 00:04:05,540
the media
90
00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:09,659
all together was writing about this a
91
00:04:09,659 --> 00:04:11,580
member of the Coots family there was
92
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:14,040
actually a founding family they still
93
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,380
exist which actually wrote a piece in
94
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:18,779
the Daily Telegraph explaining you know
95
00:04:18,779 --> 00:04:21,660
how you know when could with Coots it's
96
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:24,479
um you know you have to be rich even she
97
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:27,240
isn't Rich enough to bank at a family's
98
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,160
own bank apparently I should say this
99
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,900
person I am sure
100
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,960
was used I'm sure she didn't know
101
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,860
the real story the real facts anyway
102
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:40,759
the moment I saw those stories
103
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,740
circulating in the media I knew that
104
00:04:43,740 --> 00:04:46,560
this was absolute and complete nonsense
105
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
because the idea that Nigel farage of
106
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,040
all people doesn't have the necessary
107
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,720
Financial assets to bank accounts is
108
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,880
ridiculous if you know anything about
109
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,400
Nigel farage's background you know that
110
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,139
he's worked at the city that he's been
111
00:05:04,139 --> 00:05:06,660
relatively successful business person
112
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:09,780
he's also an internationally well-known
113
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:12,419
person he's earned fees he's got all
114
00:05:12,419 --> 00:05:14,400
kinds of things I'm not suggesting that
115
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,560
he's a multi-millionaire or anything
116
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,180
like that
117
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:20,820
but he certainly meets the financial
118
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:24,240
eligibility criteria to bank at Crewcuts
119
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,600
and I knew that this was had to be
120
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,960
absolute nonsense what I didn't know
121
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,919
and what Coots and NatWest didn't
122
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:38,940
realize is that of course Nigel farage
123
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:43,080
is an extremely clever man and somebody
124
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,620
who's able to take steps to defend
125
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:50,160
himself so when he first announced that
126
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,840
he's bank accounts had been closed what
127
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:57,180
he didn't say is that through all
128
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:01,800
various legal devices and I suspect
129
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,340
help from people inside the bank
130
00:06:05,340 --> 00:06:07,800
he didn't just get one letter
131
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,320
but an entire dossier of discussions of
132
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,639
what actually went on within the bank
133
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,220
and the real reasons why they closed
134
00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:22,979
these accounts and yes it was partly
135
00:06:22,979 --> 00:06:24,660
because of his friendship with Donald
136
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,880
Trump it was partly because of his
137
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,940
friendship with Djokovic the tennis
138
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:32,819
player it was partly because he'd taken
139
00:06:32,819 --> 00:06:36,300
an anti-immigration stances but surprise
140
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:40,199
surprise he supported for brexit
141
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,340
also came up as well it's all there all
142
00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:46,860
there in papers in in all the you know
143
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:48,960
anyway he's now released all those
144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,360
papers to the media
145
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,919
it's creating
146
00:06:52,919 --> 00:06:54,900
it took a while by the way for this
147
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:56,940
story to really take off but it has now
148
00:06:56,940 --> 00:07:00,060
taken off the government itself has been
149
00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:03,060
shaken by it and I should point out that
150
00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:05,460
the parent company of Coots which is now
151
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:09,720
west is 39 owned by the British
152
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,319
government so this is a government a
153
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,479
bank that the British government itself
154
00:07:15,479 --> 00:07:17,940
partly owns anywhere the British
155
00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:21,120
government has been shocked by this and
156
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,139
it's created a huge art Rule and what
157
00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:28,080
we're discovering is not only did the
158
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,120
bank
159
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,460
essentially lie planting all these false
160
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:35,520
stories across the media about the real
161
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,639
reasons why farage is bank bank account
162
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:42,120
was taken from him but there's now a
163
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,199
report circulating that the overall
164
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,819
chair of the entire NatWest group
165
00:07:50,819 --> 00:07:54,780
was it a journalist a reporter's dinner
166
00:07:54,780 --> 00:07:57,120
and that during that dinner she was
167
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,120
sitting next to one of the journalists
168
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,419
who was spreading the story that um
169
00:08:03,419 --> 00:08:06,060
farage's account was closed because
170
00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:09,720
supposedly he was out of out of out of
171
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,139
cash so
172
00:08:12,139 --> 00:08:16,860
the bank has been exposed as spreading
173
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:19,500
stories about one of its own customers
174
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:21,960
remember that they've implied that he's
175
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,360
you know that he's
176
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,680
poorer than he actually is
177
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,020
they spread stories about one of that
178
00:08:31,020 --> 00:08:32,339
one of his own one of their own
179
00:08:32,339 --> 00:08:36,479
customers and at the same time
180
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:39,539
they've lied about that customer and of
181
00:08:39,539 --> 00:08:41,719
course they've
182
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:45,120
banking bank accounts purely because of
183
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640
his political opinions which are
184
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,100
entirely legal opinions for him to have
185
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:56,220
one word comes to mind conspiracy I was
186
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:57,959
yeah that's that's what this sounds like
187
00:08:57,959 --> 00:09:00,600
to be a conspiracy well it was
188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,160
it was a conspiracy that that uh um the
189
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,279
bank and of course the media all
190
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:10,260
colluded in and can I just say something
191
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,240
I mean you know in theory of course
192
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,920
banks are allowed to close the customer
193
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,080
accounts I mean we all understand that
194
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040
but I cannot imagine
195
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,200
that uh British Banks would be taking
196
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,680
these kind of steps if they didn't have
197
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,899
um a green light to do it from the
198
00:09:27,899 --> 00:09:30,300
financial regulators and conceivably
199
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:32,519
even the bank of England so just bear
200
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:35,540
that in mind as well
201
00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:37,980
the government was involved as well then
202
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:39,300
I mean I mean that's that's basically
203
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:41,279
what you're what you're having in a way
204
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,440
the government must have known the
205
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,700
government had to have known that this
206
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:47,519
was going on yeah some officials within
207
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,140
the government undoubtedly did now of
208
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:50,700
course they are they've now been shocked
209
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:54,360
about it they say the chancellor of the
210
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,279
exactly Jeremy Hunt says that he's
211
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,140
profoundly shocked to pronounce it that
212
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:00,839
he's now planning legislation uh to be
213
00:10:00,839 --> 00:10:02,760
introduced into the House of Commons
214
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,580
next week to make it impossible for
215
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:08,880
banks to close accounts
216
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,760
um in light of people's
217
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,800
political opinions
218
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,700
we will see whether that happens and
219
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:19,680
always of course
220
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,380
you know the devil is in the detail we
221
00:10:22,380 --> 00:10:24,060
will see whether that legislation
222
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:27,660
actually says what it is supposed what
223
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,700
the government is telling us it will say
224
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:33,120
but just consider if that legislation is
225
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,740
indeed passed
226
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:36,000
then
227
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,500
considers
228
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:39,540
consider what's
229
00:10:39,540 --> 00:10:42,060
an enormous benefit
230
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:45,180
Nigel farage will have given to the
231
00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:48,240
country because he played that played
232
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,060
this thing brilliantly not for the first
233
00:10:51,060 --> 00:10:54,540
time people have underestimated him
234
00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:56,940
um by you know by exposing this whole
235
00:10:56,940 --> 00:10:59,579
scandal in the way that
236
00:10:59,579 --> 00:11:01,200
he did
237
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,200
we now have a possibility I don't want
238
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480
it to put it higher than that that we
239
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,279
might actually have legal safeguards in
240
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,459
Britain against this happening again
241
00:11:10,459 --> 00:11:12,720
contrast that with what has happened in
242
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,300
places like Canada for example where
243
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:18,720
there's legal safeguards don't exist
244
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,200
yeah and uh and he exposed the media
245
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,360
once again for lying which absolutely
246
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,060
just an added benefit you're you're in
247
00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:29,459
London so what what's what's the sense
248
00:11:29,459 --> 00:11:31,140
from from the people how do they feel
249
00:11:31,140 --> 00:11:33,720
about this Pro or auntie farage I mean
250
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,100
or or agnostic to to to to his uh
251
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:40,019
political past let's say I mean what's
252
00:11:40,019 --> 00:11:42,300
what's the sense right we're in London
253
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:43,920
of course and in the part of London
254
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,040
where I live and work
255
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,040
um farage is not popular I mean to put
256
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,700
it mildly I mean this is Romania Central
257
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:55,380
to put it mildly so I don't think many
258
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:57,360
people here actually are either
259
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,180
sympathetic to him or are particularly
260
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:02,700
sympathetic to people who have uh their
261
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,260
accounts closed because they're right
262
00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:05,279
wing
263
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,680
um and I can't you know but my
264
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,839
impression is that elsewhere in the
265
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:12,420
country this is cut through and I'm
266
00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:14,160
going to give an example and you know
267
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,380
all of this is connected it may be a
268
00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:18,480
different issue but it is a connected
269
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,440
one I'm starting to see in many parts of
270
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,339
London and even in my own area and in
271
00:12:26,339 --> 00:12:28,920
the farmer's market where I buy food
272
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,920
people saying that
273
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,940
they only want to trade in cash and that
274
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:39,360
they strongly oppose all attempts by the
275
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,220
British authorities or but by the way
276
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:44,220
authorities anywhere to move us towards
277
00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:47,339
a cashless economy and you can see that
278
00:12:47,339 --> 00:12:48,660
all of this is to a great extent
279
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:50,579
connected with what has happened with
280
00:12:50,579 --> 00:12:52,320
the banks it's obviously also connected
281
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,839
with the digital currencies things this
282
00:12:54,839 --> 00:12:57,480
thing has cut through and you only have
283
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,760
to see the media response the way in
284
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,700
which the media initially
285
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:05,100
tried to
286
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,200
suppress the story
287
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,720
and the way in which it's
288
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,579
blown apart
289
00:13:11,579 --> 00:13:13,380
to see that
290
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:15,360
people must be writing into their
291
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,779
newspapers calling their MPS
292
00:13:18,779 --> 00:13:20,880
are clearly becoming worried about this
293
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,360
sort of thing
294
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:27,660
good good this is a an interesting
295
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:29,399
development how all of this has worked
296
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:31,440
out yeah and as I said I mean you know
297
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,860
it shows again how in Britain The
298
00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:37,160
Establishment consistently
299
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,339
underestimates Nigel farage
300
00:13:41,339 --> 00:13:42,540
yep
301
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:45,079
yeah you can carry over that
302
00:13:45,079 --> 00:13:47,459
underestimation to to Russia as well
303
00:13:47,459 --> 00:13:49,139
anyway we're not going to get into this
304
00:13:49,139 --> 00:13:51,779
all right we'll leave the video there
305
00:13:51,779 --> 00:13:53,300
the Durant
306
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:58,320
we are at Rumple Rockford Odyssey and uh
307
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,660
a telegram and go to the direct shot 10
308
00:14:00,660 --> 00:14:04,030
