@daraobriain @JuliaHB1 You couldn’t get one because of your passport, the same as when I lived abroad until I could prove my address, he couldn’t get one because the bank were against freedom of speech , Sadly you are on the side of those against freedom of speech, so I’m using my own personal choice… Tweet added by RoyB @EX_forces_

I remember when I moved to London I couldn’t open an account at Lloyd’s in Crouch End because they didn’t accept the Irish passport as valid ID. I didn’t go on Newsnight to complain; I just went next door to Barclays. Nigel is such a drama Queen.

@EX_forces_ @daraobriain @JuliaHB1 Coutts say he’s below the wealth requirements to hold an account. Nothing about freedom of speech. Plenty of shit people also do business with them.

@EX_forces_ @daraobriain @JuliaHB1 Have you read the report on why he had it closed? It’s not nearly the same. Also @EX_forces_ you don’t half retweet some nasty stuff. Not really doing our forces proud are you

@EX_forces_ @daraobriain @JuliaHB1 Depends whether you include treason & spreading falsehood & racism as free speech/legitimate political views. Bank’s language arguably immoderate but farage is a vile, disgusting creature.

@EX_forces_ @daraobriain @JuliaHB1 Only one slight issue with your tweet...it falls on its arse because Farage was offered a NatWest account...but the "man o'the PayPal" wants an exclusive private bank account, so he's doing his usual, politicising grievance (& lying IMHO)😵‍💫

@EX_forces_ @daraobriain @JuliaHB1 Do you really think that private UK banks have problems with foreign passports? Most of their confidential customers are likely to be wealthy Saudi, Russian, Chinese, etc
