What we know about Nigel Farage's claim he has been shut out of his bank accounts
inews.co.uk
In a six-minute video on Twitter, Mr Farage says he can no longer get a bank account. How true could his claims be?

That moment when you are walking down the street and you accidentally tread in a steaming pile of irony.

    He’s free to leave, perhaps his German wife could take him home?

      Seperated for years.

      Last I checked he’s been linked to Laure Ferrari. Let’s go on a wikipedia adventure:

      Laure Ferrari (* 6 October 1979, Épinal, France) has been a close associate of former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, and has been working for several right-wing to far-right political organizations and parties, including the French nationalist party (Debout la France). Ferrari was head of the Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe (IDDE), a Eurosceptic think tank, which was accused in 2017 of having illegally diverted public money to the benefits of UKIP.[1] Ferrari was also founding member of “The Mouvement,” together with Mischaël Modrikamen and his wife Yasmine Dehaene-Modrikamen,[2] which in 2018 was joined and promoted by Steve Bannon.

      Mischaël Modrikamen (born 22 February 1966)[1] is a Belgian right wing politician and lawyer. … In March 2015, Modrikamen was invited on an official visit to Russia by the Russian government and met officials at the Duma. Modrikamen, himself a strong believer in the transatlantic alliance, nevertheless announced that “we” should find some accommodation with Russia on the Crimea and Ukraine crisis. … Modrikamen is the only Belgian political leader to have endorsed Trump, and this from the early beginning of his campaign among Republican contenders.

      Reuters reported on October 31, 2018, that the Senate Intelligence Committee is conducting a “wide-ranging” investigation of Bannon’s activities during the campaign, including knowledge he may have had about any contacts between Russia and two campaign advisors, George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, as well as his role with Cambridge Analytica.[148] … In August 2020 members of the senate intelligence committee told the DOJ they believed that Bannon, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr. may have misled them with their testimony about Russia investigation. … Bannon has defended Trump’s ties to and praise for Russian president Vladimir Putin.[357][372] He expressed a belief that traditionalists see Russia as an ally. Bannon said they “believe that at least Putin is standing up for traditional institutions, and he’s trying to do it in a form of nationalism—and I think that people, particularly in certain countries, want to see the sovereignty for their country. They want to see nationalism for their country” rather than a “pan-European Union”.[372] According to the book War for Eternity, Bannon met notorious Russian ideologue Aleksandr Dugin in Rome in 2018 to advocate closer relations between the United States and Russia, as well as Traditionalist philosophy … [etc. etc. etc. etc.]

        It’s disturbing how much evidence exists that all these right wing parties and politicians are Russian shills, yet it somehow seems to keep escaping common knowledge.

      Nah, thanks. We don’t want him. Maybe if he doesn’t like life in UK he should try death in UK? I heard it’s beautiful.
