Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that NatWest staff members said Nigel Farage was “paid from the Kremlin” for being Russian spy and incited violence of throwing him out of a moving car.
Nigel Farage wrote: “In new leaked documents, NatWest employees said I was “paid from the Kremlin” and accused me of being a Russian spy.
Neither of these things are true.
This is all due to the fake news put out by people who should know a lot better.”
In an angry tirade agains the bank, Mr Farage also revealed the internal documents referred to him a “crackpot”, “sketchy” and “a fool”.
The internal gossip followed the closure of Mr Farage’s Coutt’s account, which he claims was a politically motivated decision.
Mr Farage was also described in one of the emails as an “awful human being”, while another said they would have paid a significant sum to have been the one to tell the GB News presenter his account was being shut down.
A third said: “I’d throw a milkshake at him if I was approached to open an account for him.”
In one exchange, published by the Daily Telegraph, an employee points to Mr Farage claiming NatWest has a “political agenda”.
A colleague replies: “No it’s just you are an awful human being Nigel Farage lol. He’s so politically relevant right now. Like who even are you anymore.”
The colleague goes on to mock the Brexiteer’s past attempts to portray himself as a man of the people, saying it is “good that an ‘everyman’ banked at Coutts”.
Staff also referred to him as a “crackpot” and an “awful human being”, while one said: “The money I’d have paid to have been the agent ringing him to tell him [that he had been debanked].”
Mr Farage described the comments as “vile” and called on NatWest to reconsider the £11.3 million payout its board is expected to approve this Thursday for Dame Alison Rose, who resigned as chief executive of the bank in July following revelations in The Telegraph about Mr Farage’s treatment.
Nigel: NatWest staff laughed & celebrated closing my bank accounts, used abusive language against me, said I was a Russian spy, considered the use of anti-terrorism laws — and then incited violence by saying they would kick me out of a moving car. Sounds unbelievable, but it’s true!
