Farage messes Coutts around. They get their revenge. Turns out banks are *required* to report shit that looks like big time money laundering, fancy that.
@davidgerard The tail end of the article admits that this is actually pretty trivial. Banks have no downside for firing off these reports, but if they fail to report something that later turns out to be illegal, then they are on the hook for money laundering. So they tend to hit the report button for anything that looks even slightly dodgy.
@davidgerard Ohhhh,
I was wandering what item of Bad News with a 2 month lead time Farage was trying to get ahead of.
So, now he's got the choice of losing to a BinFace/ MonsterRavingLoony Alliance candidate, or proceeding from Parliament direct to jail.
If I were a cat, I'd be rolling on the floor, helpless with schadenfreude.
Has Trump endorsed him yet, to give him the ultimate political kick in the electoral chances.
