Remember this guy?
This is the guy who was photoed with Trump and mostly responsible for Brexit, much to the dismay of some europhiles:
Anyway, Nigel reeing here:

Some key quotes include
'This is serious political persecution at the very highest level of our system. If they can do it to me, they can do it to you too.'
Speaking of the importance of having a bank account, he added: 'You effectively become a non-person, you don't actually exist.
'It's like the worse regimes of the mid-20th century, be they in Russia or Germany, you literally become a non-person.
'I won't be able to have a debit card linked directly to my account. I won't really be able to exist or function in a modern 21st century Britain.'
Story here
He suspects he was cancelled as revenge for spearheading Brexit and has tried to open up 7 other bank accounts in the UK, but they all refuse. Being cancelled online is one thing. Not being able to open a bank account to exchange money is quite the next level. He's saying how stressful it's been and that he might have to move from the UK. He even claims his closest family members have had their bank accounts closed too.
Maybe commie China has come sooner than I anticipated.
There is a tiny ray of hope. No. 10 (the government) are looking into the matter and have given a warning to the banks over being too trigger happy when shutting accounts down.

Ridiculous. Interesting though that the gov is helping him. You'd think if 7 banks all decline him an account then it's not just a coincidence in their judgement but rather something that comes from above

The Indian PM is quite based tbh, at least more than pasty Boris who's probably oh so embarrassed to be a mayo.

Of course he's based. He's doing insider trading!

He's literally not, he's published details of his finances publicly and his investments are in a blind trust for the explicit reason that it makes insider trading impossible. Sunak's family is wealthy enough anyway that he has no need to risk his reputation and career by insider trading.

After 9-11 when the US finally cracked down on money laundering a lot of banks got huge fines. So their solution is to just never deal with anyone suspicious ever. Like no banks will deal with Iran even though it's legal. It's cheaper to just not worry about it.
