Nigel Farage has called out NatWest bank after receiving a 600 page document, in response to his Data Subject Access Request submitted three months ago.
Nigel’s Coutts bank account was closed in July this year as the bank originally denied that it was due to his political views.
Contained in the document were conversations surrounding Nigel’s account and his views, which were branded “racist, xenophobic, misogynistic and anti-Semitic”.
The document also contained information confirming that former CEO Dame Alison Rose had briefed the BBC with false information, claiming that Nigel’s account was closed due to “falling below the wealth limit”. Comments made by staff following the briefing said “hope that knocked him down a peg or two”, joking “have we singlehandedly driven him out of the country?”.

Speaking to Mark Dolan in response to the documents, Mark asked Nigel if the “rot is as bad as he’d feared”, to which Nigel claim it is “worse”.
Nigel said: “I thought after the Coutts files, it couldn't possibly get worse. And that's what I put in the subject access request to NatWest, which by law should come back in 30 days. But the loophole is they said it was so complex that they wouldn't come back for three months. And that is what you're seeing today."
Nigel continued: “If this was their attempt to sort of kick this into the long grass and hope it goes away, I tell you what, they've picked on the wrong chap, because I'm not going to put up with this. This is the culture that the Queen of woke, Dame Alison Rose, brought into the head office and throughout the bank of NatWest and indeed the subsidiaries like Coutts.
“It's funny, isn't it in life, those who talk about diversity and inclusion are actually the most illiberal, narrow minded people you could ever, ever want to meet. She is responsible for this culture. Now, the significance of the timing of this should not be lost on anybody. On Thursday of this week there is a full board meeting of NatWest and on Friday morning we'll get the quarterly figures."
Nigel highlighted the significance of the meeting: "At this Thursday's meeting they will decide on which terms Dave Alison leaves NatWest. Bear in mind, folks, this is not a private company. We bailed these people out, out of their greed and stupidity. 38.6% of this bank is owned by you, the taxpayer, and she is on course to walk out of Thursday's meeting with 11.5 million sterling.
"Just think about that. To be rewarded for failure. Rewarded for breaking every single code under banking law since it first existed under the Financial Conduct Authority regulations, she's on the verge of walking out with £11.5 million, and nearly 40% of that will be paid for by GB news viewers and the rest of the country.
"And what I want with these revelations is for the world to understand that these people who have politicised both public and private corporations should not be rewarded for failure, should not be rewarded for prejudice and for bias. She must not walk out with that vast sum of money."
Nigel said of the NatWest staff: "They wouldn't even have their jobs if it wasn't for us bailing them out. All of those people who've made these vile comments should be suspended and investigated."

Mark Dolan then branded the comments "vile" and stated "they want to drive you out of the country. They want to throw milkshake at you, which is an assault.
"Now, Nigel, I know you well, you're no snowflake, but does it hurt reading stuff like this?"
Nigel replied: "No, not really. It doesn't hurt at all. I mean, you know, I am so used to the illiberalism of the so-called liberals that I can deal with it.
"It is horrible stuff."
