Coutts Bank Executives Crack Down on Wrongthink
In a glow-up sure to make Big Brother proud, Coutts Bank has shed its status as a financial institution for proles, instead morphing into a virtuous watchdog that scrutinizes the ethics of customer behavior. Bankers, already renowned for their attenuated working hours, will now decide which accounts reek of discriminatory conduct and merit swift and brutal termination.
Knowing that actions speak louder than words, Coutts' arbiters of prudence sprang into motion, de-banking dangerous malcontent Nigel Farage, whose views on Brexit and Russia alone are enough to threaten our societal ideals of unity, loyalty, and peace at any cost. The future is bright, comrades, as our purse-strings are tightly gripped by the benevolent financial thought police!
