A small business owner whose NatWest account was shut
without explanation has been left wondering if it was
linked to political posts on social media.
Tej Bal, a 35-year-old from Birmingham, has submitted
a subject access request to the bank.
Mr Bal, who had been a customer since 2007, combed through
social media but found only 'tongue in cheek' posts
about lockdown.
He said: 'The only other political posts I have made,
would've been to share posts of the farmers' protest
in India.'
The only other explanation Mr Bal could think of relates
to his decision to pay off a personal loan he had with
the bank early, as well as closing his credit cards.
Another businessman was horrified to find his NatWest
accounts closed down after he complained about excessive
Covid restrictions.
Mayur Patel, who describes himself as a Brexiteer and
Boris Johnson fan, believes his accounts were shut
in an act of 'personal revenge' by a staff member in Kent.
As a newsagent and landlord, the 55-year-old claimed to
have given the bank business worth more than £1million.
On a visit to a branch in Maidstone during lockdown, he
complained that the social-distanced queuing system
seemed 'excessively cautious' and that paying customers
should not be forced to wait 'in the cold'.

This seems to be the new hyper-left/Wokie tact -
economic harassment of anyone who doesn't agree
with their politics 101%
We've seen this in the EU/UK/USA already.
Banks/lenders need to be MANDATED to be politically
neutral. It's in the Best Interests of economic
health for starters.
However the political biggies - mostly ELECTED by
useful idiots - are VERY interested in persecuting
their political enemies. Sounds NAZI-esque - the
disenfranchisement of Jews preceded the Holocaust.
Clue, give it a minute, then YOU will be a "political
enemy". The trick with fanatics is that NOBODY is
"pure" enough. All and every will soon be destroyed.
