annot buy a house simply because the cash they earned was made in a country the UK laws don't like
Not having a UK income that could get you a mortgage, yet able to buy a house with cash, is extremely sus though.

Claims no bank wants to give him an account (which is either BS or very, very strange unless he's touched something Bad)
There are regulations in the UK around giving bank accounts to ‘politically exposed’ individuals.
Essentially anyone whose funding might come from questionable political motives. His connections to Russia would certainly be enough to trigger that.

Farage has had his bank account closed...waiting on a proper article (the news just broke) but at least some good news ;)
He is of course playing the victim, hard. Claims no bank wants to give him an account (which is either BS or very, very strange unless he's touched something Bad)
Now, banks can be a bit difficult if they feel like it. Somebody on a forum I am on cannot buy a house simply because the cash they earned was made in a country the UK laws don't like. And sometimes accounts get closed for other reasons, banks cannot be bothered anymore etc.
So perhaps he didn't really do anything wrong, and got unlucky. But my account which gets only payroll £ into isn't being closed, just saying... ;)
