Nigel Farage mauls the woke Financial Conduct Authority for lastly appearing
Nigel Farage tore strips off the Financial Conduct Authority tonight as he pointedly requested: “Where on earth have they been?” through the de-banking scandal.
The FCA introduced on Tuesday it was to launch a significant investigation into the de-banking scandal, following Nigel Farage exploding the row after being dropped by Coutts.
It has written to UK banks giving them 14 days to clarify the closing of buyer accounts, and telling them to supply statistics on what number of buyer accounts have been closed, suspended or denied, and outlining the explanations for doing so.
While crediting the regulator for lastly appearing, Mr Farage tore into the FCA tonight, demanding to know the place they’ve been within the month for the reason that row erupted.
He raged: “Where on earth have the FCA been since this national scandal was unfolding? It took me to lift the lid on all of this and for others to start coming out, but the FCA should have been on to this a long long time ago.”
Mr Farage offered proof suggesting precisely what the FCA management has been specializing in in latest months.
He produced an article revealed on their web site, entitled: “Pride matters in financial services and beyond”.
“She talks with great pride about going to the Leeds gay pride event with FCA staff”.
He additionally cited Sheldon Mills, an Executive Director on the physique, who stated the march was for “transgender, non-binary, gender nonconforming and intersex people, so as a cisgender gay man, I was an ally and that made me reflect on the need to continually seek to support and make visible the less than 1 percent of the population who are transgender and face significant challenges in so many aspects of their daily lives”.
Mr Farage appeared surprised after studying this out, left asking: “What the hell?!”
“What the hell, Mr Mills, or any of you at the FCA.
“What the hell is going on marches, making political statements, what the hell has that got to do with financial market regulation.
“I would say pretty much nothing!”
He stated the FCA is clearly “unfit for purpose” and was itself contributing the woke monetary trade that’s forcing prospects to lose their accounts over their political opinions.
Mr Farage added: “They seem to have a completely twisted sense of priorities”.
“This is the sort of woke tide that is going through not just our corporate companies, but clearly it’s coming from, and being encouraged by, the regulator themselves.
He pointed to the old idiom that the “fish rots from the head-down”.
