In 2012, HSBC admitted failures that allowed at least $881 million belonging to Mexican and Colombian drug cartels to pass through the US financial system, alongside hundreds of millions in transactions involving sanctioned countries.
The bank paid approximately $1.9 billion, but no senior executive went to prison. Prosecutors were warned that criminally prosecuting HSBC could damage the wider financial system. In other words, it was effectively considered too big to jail.
This was not an isolated banking scandal. We have seen reckless lending contribute to the 2008 financial crash, taxpayers funding bank rescues, LIBOR manipulation, industrial-scale PPI mis-selling, sanctions breaches and repeated money-laundering failures. The banks pay fines, treat them as a business expense and carry on, while ordinary people lose homes, businesses and access to banking—and face devastating consequences over the smallest suspected irregularity.
Yet we are encouraged to obsess over allegations involving Nigel Farage. Those allegations should be properly investigated, but political-funding controversies have affected parties across the political spectrum for years.
Focusing all public anger on one politician is a convenient distraction from the much bigger reality: powerful banks and institutions can cause damage on a scale that affects millions everyday, yet meaningful personal accountability is non existent. |  | | |  |

I am going to say two things that might shock you:
1) two different things can both be true at the same time.
2) two different things can both be important at the same time.
As it is, you have written some important things about the banking system, money laundering and corporate corruption, and if you had kept it to that, that is what people would have discussed in the thread. But you put them inside a Farage wrapper, with a FARAGE CAPS LOCK SUBJECT AS THE RIBBON AND BOW!!! And as a result it is likely that more people will talk about Farage than HSBC.
To properly answer your question: the HSBC case you refer to was in the USA. We have seen how a grifting corporate fascist has done things there, and dismantled all checks and balances, and don't want one as our Prime Minister here. | | | |

It's no surprise that the establishment have a lot of dirt on Farage. Reform won't stand a chance against the slime that will be chucked at them. Meanwhile, the actual issues that affect the country will not be discussed, and will continue its descent into mediocrity. |  | | |

All MPs are at it. You’re deluded if you think otherwise.
The last Prime Minister cried on television and made this country a laughing stock. | | | |

The half time entertainment here needs a bit of work. Any chance of the Band of the Scots Guards? |  | | |

All of your posts have been about Farage.
All I take from this is that a Reform HQ know how fooked they are and are activating even their most pathetic assets like yourself.
