Former NatWest CEO Alison Rose has been found to have breached data protection laws when discussing the closure of Nigel Farage's bank account with a reporter. The UK data watchdog concluded that there were 'serious failings' in how NatWest handled the situation, including mishandling Farage's complaint. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is now investigating potential 'regulatory breaches' by NatWest. NatWest shares have tumbled following the incident, and the bank has downgraded its profit outlook. Farage has criticized the report as a 'whitewash' and called for British taxpayers to have a say in Rose's payout.
What is your personal encounter with cancel culture?
CANCEL CULTURE IS GETTING CANCELLED IT SEEMS. FINALLY.

Angela Knight says it is “entirely wrong” that Nigel Farage’s political opinions contributed to his bank account closing. “The fact that people didn’t like what he was saying... was not a reason to debank him.” @WhichPennySmith https://t.co/ZyfvSPYLs7

No, cancel culture is not a right-wing myth or a distraction from ‘real’ issues. The Nigel Farage debanking scandal showed just how much is at stake. Anyone who holds the ‘wrong’ views can now easily be deprived of their livelihood, says Patrick West https://t.co/nR1fdXjjYt
NatWest’s decision to close Nigel Farage’s bank accounts was lawful, a review commissioned by the bank has found. Sam Armstrong: “It’s for the birds! This is the legal advice that money can’t buy!” @JuliaHB1 | @samwarmstrong https://t.co/JiGO81qBzm
There hasn’t been such a wild eruption of what had been previously known as “cancel culture” since the George Floyd fiasco But I guess we need a new term now, since the ones who complained about it then are now largely the main perpetrators

The Nigel Farage ‘debanking’ scandal has exposed the cruelty of cancel culture. NatWest staff bragged about closing Farage’s account. They even hoped it would drive him out of the UK. This is the deranged fanaticism we are up against, says Patrick West https://t.co/nR1fdXjjYt
Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott argue cancel culture constitutes a serious threat to free speech and open inquiry in academia and the workplace. https://t.co/P6FgKurVzZ
Observation: Most of the people I see calling out hypocrisy on cancel culture tend to focus on only one side of the hypocrites.
"She's getting an £11.3m payout, she broke the law and as she's from the great and the good - she won't get nicked!" Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan say it's "ludicrous" that ex-NatWest CEO Dame Alison Rose won't face criminal charges for breaking data laws. @TVKev | @iromg https://t.co/jyndLhqPWj
