Nigel Farage claims a “woke brigade” is marching through public and private companies after emails revealed NatWest staff gloated about the closure of his bank account in a series of sniggering internal messages.

The crowing remarks were handed over to the former Ukip leaders through a subject access request, and shone light on conversations among staff members who joked he had been “debanked” by Coutts, a NatWest subsidiary, and that they hoped it “knocked him down a peg or two.”

In an angry tirade agains the bank, Mr Farage also revealed the internal documents referred to him a “crackpot”, “sketchy” and “a fool”.

You know what, I think you might be on to something here.

But no, “Big Nige” would rather stoke the bogeyman and have the people with everything in common with one another, fight each other. Don’t for god’s sake look at what else is going on, just keep fighting the fucking nonsense culture war.

Nigel, you’re a fucking twat, you’re not a man of the people, you’re a cunt. Now fuck off and bank with your foreign investors.

Bell-end.

Possibly not how I would have worded it but an absolutely spot on observation.

Mine would have involved much more expletives...
