    Why don't you stay on your own board !
    Because Nat West, due to their own failings back in 2008 is nearly 40% owned by the British Tax Payer.

    The CEO broke confidentially rules.

    Unless there is illegal activity people should not be being de-banked.

    You're welcome to your own opinion. I shall stick to mine

    You are picking on one individuals case.. [ whom by your decription you do not like , usually the way ] it is something they have been doing for years, Coutts ... he had the balls to speak out at the audacity and egoism shown by a woman who earns £5m a year plus and thinks she is a demi god! and do as she like from the perch she was on .. bit like Putrid in a way ! Trouble is when you bank with a bank and you pay fee's for for discretion and privacy you dont expect someone to " tell the world your financial comings and goings" and we are banishing you to an account for any bodies ! so tough s**t ALISON ROSE... ... bed and lie in it!

    Wrong. He was not debanked - he was offered a Nat West account but because of his sense of self-entitlement that wasn’t good enough. I agree that Rose broke confidentiality rules but he had already put his private banking affairs in the public domain.

    Err, I’m picking on one individual’s case because that’s the media story. The individual already decided to put his private banking affairs in the public domain.

    This individual’s inflated ego dictates that he must have a Coutts account and a Nat West account isn’t good enough for him. Hilarious that you feel the need to defend this nonsense.

    You’re right he has an inflated ego, but they did take his bank account away because of his political views, that can’t be right whoever you are as long as your views are legal.

    Another flip so your comments have a resting place! His account was closed and told it would be transferred to ANOTHER BANK ... Nat west if he so wished !

    Before you comment take the time to go back to the start and read it all get the time line what was said then you will see why she resigned after admitting she did wrong ... and not just spouting the confidentiality bit ............

    In the very fair-minded publication, the Daily Mail, asks why the government won't admit that the housing shortage us totally down to legal migration.

    post card..............
    Some hotels in the uk have permanent reesidents [ quite a few in Scotland ] mini flats bed sitters sort of I know of . this helps pay the bills when trade is slow /out of season! if most larger towns or cities had just 1 thats about 4000 singles/ couples catered for either as permanent or transit.
    however Councils are by "law?" supposed to provide accomodation for x number of immigrants / asylum seekers at the expense of local naturally born here home seekers that are like to to contribute to the 1.7 children family. Unlike some races who feel the more kids the better off they will be in old age or when they reach working age pay into the family household!
    ANY .GOV should have a rule that this country has housing in total for say 10,000 immigrants in transit annually ...any illegally landing on our shores should expect a little better than when they left France for example ... no free handouts above a basic ration... no mobile phones ... residence on a ship or tents in an encampment on / in / or ex military base. .. compostable toilet facilities and basic health care NO hotels or houses .......

    Michael Gove apparently has an answer to the overall housing shortage which was first put forward by George Osbourne in 2013.

    Convert disused or abandoned shops, warehouses, industrial units, factories etc into homes. Also helps regenerate city centre areas which have become like a ghost town as business rates soar and all that remain are charity, vape and tattoo shops.

    These structures are already there and so it will take far less effort and disruption to building homes from scratch, and most importantly it protects the precious greenbelt from new developments with few or no amenities like Bradley Stoke.

    As JGF2 says, immigrants who are supposedly fleeing the 'tyranny' of their home country despite being dressed in the latest trainers and designer jeans, should be thankful for living in better conditions than they would ever have had at home, or in the camps in France.

    If possible it would be better to put them amongst the community surely , if you put them all together in one area, it tends to create more issues, ghettos etc. ?

    If you put them all together in warehouses/ mills/factories it will create ghettos. Much better they are integrated into communities and encouraged to become part of those communities,

    We've already allowed that in the big cities like Bristol, Leicester, Bradford, Birmingham, Burnley etc.
    People of different nationalities tend to naturally gravitate and stick with their own countrymen/women, but therein sometimes lies the start of the problems such as the English language not being spoken, Faith Schools springing up, and then there's the drugs, the vice, and the crime. Not that this is solely due to immigrants of course.
    Not an easy conundrum to solve

    I agree, that’s why I think housing immigrants all together in warehouses/mills and old factories moving forward Is a bad idea, you’ve pointed out the disadvantages that this approach causes. We should learn from mistakes of the past, not continue to make them.

    this is not about immigrants ffs it is about having houses for the 000's of families whose generations go back to beyond Victorian times even as far as the MAGNA CARTA ... IT IS NOT ABOUT FREELOADERS WHO COME HERE EXPECTING TO BE TREATED AS EQUALS WHO HAVE BEEN THE HOUSING LIST FOR YEARS [ not supposed to be capitals but not going to re type it ] Plenty of tents left over from Glastonbury give them 2 each incase 1 leaks
