General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
We are friends with [email protected], a uk news community on a more general site.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered. If you want to do dodgy shit financially, all you have to do is avoiding sticking out. See the panama papers.
Farage on a crusade about banks but didnt do the same when the Panama papers scandal happened. This is just more Farage grift fuel.
This story is nothing to do with Farage or Coutts. That is completely missing the point.
It's just brought the story of people being refused bank accounts or being kicked out of their accounts into the forefront. If it means banks can't get away with closing people's accounts for spurious reasons as a result of this, then great.
I'm responding to your comment about Farage.
And the whole "debanking" thing isn't just about Farage and Coutts.
