attleej Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Dear All, For those that have read the article in the Scottish Sun, now watch and hear what I actually said here: https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/e3ad1d9e-e9a5-4958-84e7-599e5e0f27ab I start at 16.39 with some strategic stuff and then talk about "Peter" at about 16.42 hrs. I called him "Peter" because I did not want to be held responsible if something untoward happened. I can assure you all that Barclays Bank is not the problem and they have been very helpful to me. They have no alternative course of action. The real problem is that the Treasury think that the complete integrity of the Money Laundering Regulations is more important than exporting AFVs to Ukraine.

LarryH57 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) I heard this story too, and as I am in the trade for Banking regulation I can say that the various regulations were set up to stop people supplying the likes of ISIS and other waring factions before them. I think this is a situation in need of a petition to parliament via Change.org. Anyone? Its akin to him selling stuff to the Russians! He is supporting our allies and hasn't actually done anything illegal or morally wrong! Edited February 25, 2023 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Oh yes, I see this every time. Getting a reputation on file for all to see as a arms dealer, for ever more 'till the end of the century' is disastrous for this guy in getting any financial product, however innocuous, like insuring his vehicles, home and contents, his business, or his stereo, or his life! Its a disgrace, so I will have to write to my MP etc etc and get a petition together. Edited February 25, 2023 by LarryH57 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Thanks for the video, which by implication must mean Nicks bank account has been 'freed' from the UK burocratic strangle hold of last year. Keep up the good work Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attleej Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Dear All, Dear All, no it does not mean that Nick's bank accounts are 'freed'. UK High Street banks still cannot take the regulatory risk of dealing with Ukrainian businessmen. The financial returns are too small and yet the Financial Conduct Authority will fine them hundreds of thousands of pounds for any infringement of the Money Laundering Regulations. Government Ministers have said, on the Record, at the Despatch Box, that the complete integrity of the money laundering regulations is more important than allowing the export of AFVs to Ukraine. Treasury ministers do not seem to understand that there is a war on, albeit not directly involving us. Every AFV that Nicks sends out to Ukraine will provide protected mobility to another group of Ukrainian soldiers and avoid them being killed needlessly when compared to a soft skinned vehicle. If you do meet any elected politicians of any colour do raise the issue with them. Ask them "Are you aware that the Money Laundering Regulations are preventing the export of Armoured Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine and what are you going to to do about it?.
