No one is saying that.
What Farage is saying is that he has been contacted by others, who bank with various banks, who have had their accounts closed for non-financial reasons.
The starting point is Coutts, which may well only involve Farage.
The next step is to examine the conduct of Coutts' owners, RBS, which then brings in RBS and Nat West.
My brother told me he was involved in a lot of PEP cases when he worked for Nat West as a senior commercial manager.
It must be the case the other banks have PEP/account closure stories to tell.
I daresay most of those account holders will have been Pepped in line with the regulations, but it also looks certain some have not.

FWIW, the first Mrs FF was personally debanked by the Manager of Coutts....

She had £3m in the bank, at least at one time, and you left her?

The titled chief executive of a major clearing bank has been forced to publicly apologise to a customer.
Obviously nothing to see here, it's that bloody Farage telling porkies again.

Are you some African warlord?
No! But her father was the manager and could no longer justify her 'family' account

PR management.
Coutts have handled this pretty badly. A PR disaster that could have been avoided by not closing his account because he posed no reputational threat. Not because he isn't a racist piece of shìt, bit because nobody knew he banked with Coutts.
Bank chief has apologised to kill the story, that is all.

As I said, if you realised just how moronic you come across you'd stop.
But that would need some sort of self-awareness, which I fear is outside of your capacity.
