THE bosses of Coutts should hang their heads in shame. Oh, and they ought to be fired — certainly those responsible for closing Nigel Farage’s account and they way they’ve dealt with the predictable subsequent media storm.
This is an institution, don’t we know, yawn, yawn, that counts among its thousands of customers, members of the Royal Family and other dignitaries and celebrities, some exceedingly rich folk. It also counts among its customers some decidedly rum characters. How do I know? Because I’ve been with them when they’re proudly flashed their Coutts cards.
