Farage says ‘this madness has to stop’ as he fears he’s being forced out of UK

Nigel Farage: ‘Establishment are trying to force me out’

Nigel Farage is fearful of being forced out of the UK, saying: “We have to stop this madness.”

This came after the former MEP had his bank account closed, claiming he was rejected by seven other banks.

Writing on Twitter, he called for other people affected by a similar issue to “speak out”, adding: “We have to stop this madness.”

Last week, he claimed that others who share a similar worldview to him face being treated in the same “stressful” way.

Mr Farage said the issue “may well fundamentally affect my future career going on from here and whether I could even stay living in this country.”

He said: “I have been with the same banking group since 1980. I’ve had my personal accounts with them since that date, and my business accounts right through the 1990s when I worked in the City of London and in recent years too.”

But he claimed that, a few months ago, he got a phone call from his bank saying they are closing his accounts, with the organisation saying it was a “corporate decision”, an explanation Mr Farage said he “didn’t believe for a single moment”.

Mr Farage claimed that one possible explanation is the banks’ opposition to Brexit.

He claimed: “These are the organisations who did not want Brexit to happen. And I think in my case, probably the corporate world will never ever forgive me.

“Because they know if I hadn’t done what I did with the help of 1000s of people in people’s army, that never would have been a referendum, let alone a victory. I’m the one that is to carry the blame.

“So that’s the second possible reason why I can’t get a bank account – prejudice that comes from our institution”.

Speaking on his GB News show, the Brexiteer said: “It seems to be all one way. It seems to be all against people who have traditionalist or conservative views. There is something totally outrageous going on here.”

The former Brexit Party leader went on to issue a direct warning to his loyal viewers that anything they said on Facebook or Twitter could come back to haunt them and land them in a similar position.

He said: “Anything you say on Facebook or Twitter may result in you losing your bank accounts too. That is, I think, how scary this whole thing is.”

Writing on Twitter last week, Mr Farage claimed: “The establishment is 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 can do it to you too.”
