The BBC’s chief executive is expected to contact Nigel Farage in writing today about the inaccurate story about NatWest’s subsidiary Coates canceling his bank discharge.
said Mr. Farage GB newsFirst things first, BBC: I have already received a tribute this morning from Tim Davey, Managing Director, and he says Deborah Torness, Chief Executive of the BBC, will be writing to me today.
So you know that work is in progress. I’ll be waiting for Deborah Tornes’ letter in terms of getting to the truth. I’ve also submitted a substantive access request to NatWest. Hopefully I can find out what was said about me at that higher level within the group.
“And the point about that 36-page document is that I had to publish it, and by the way, it was full of misquotes. It was full of things that were actually beaten in a libel trial.”
In a discussion with Andrew Pearce and Carol Malone, he continued: “I had to get this vile information out on me. I had to make it public because otherwise I couldn’t face the briefing that was done for the BBC.”
“So yeah, it’s more damage to my reputation and on the legal front all I will say is all options are on the table.”
He added: “If they can do it to me, they can do it to you. Read the fine print of all the four big banks in Britain. They now have the power to monitor your social media.”
“You say anything online that goes against the bank’s values, they can now shut you down. This needs to be fought and fought hard.
“This is the final battle for liberty and individual liberty.”
