Because unless you hadn’t noticed there are far more important things happening in the world than this. However being a democratic country….I believe we still are….people are allowed to vote with their feet, or in this case their money. I really don’t see what all the fuss is about if people carry out this action.


I genuinely get the impression these days, just for saying, what the hell are pronouns about, and is there any need for them? You will be considered by a few, far right. I kid you not.

Make a negative post about pride, you must be a homophobe, make a negative post about the people coming from France on dinghies , you must be a racist.. And it goes on and on.

Personally I don't bank with the Halifax, would I leave them over this if I did, I doubt it.

I don't bank with them and like you, I wouldn't leave them over this either.

I'm with Barclays and I haven't left them despite all this,

What Halifax has done is maybe a bit silly and absolitely nothing compared to what barclays, Lloyds and some others have done.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I doubt very many will leave at all.

It’s the Mail stirring up angst by trawling snowflakes on Twitter.

I haven't seen anything about employees complaining so it looks like a classic being offended on someone else’s behalf. Something the right often accuse the left of.

Two sides of the same coin.

I’ve had enough of shte like this. Perhaps Halifax should concentrate on the customer experience at their branches as it’s awful….and don’t get me started about telephone and online services with them.
I left them pre Covid and bloody glad I did.

It must be very time consuming to be anti woke.

You have to change your bank account because some staff have chosen to wear a badge with three words you don’t agree with, cancel your RNLI membership as their saving the wrong people at sea, avoid the national trust’s properties for reporting the ‘wrong’ history.

It sounds exhausting to be taking on all these snowflakes.

It wasn’t long ago that you were threatening to leave this forum as you were obviously very easily offended by what some people were saying, so please can you cut out your own hypocrisy, before criticising others.


As everyone John is a valued member of the site, his commitment to helping our cause despite mutterings elsewhere ( you know the disgusting faeces that exist everywhere ) is one of the reasons this site still continues,

Ahhh, but that suggest that only one set of principles is right.

I completely respect your right to choose who provides your services, I’m just pointing out the faux outrage out there.

The only figure I can find is 150 people have left Halifax out of 7 million customers.

Can’t be that big a deal, can it?

And there’s no proof of 150. Just people on twitter saying they have.

It's exactly the same as some on here who go to the football and hear one bloke boo and claim "many" are booing.

I rekon we've all don it at some time, the hyperbole game.

It's still a storm in a teacup though.

PS, when it comes to teaching history, what annys me most is how do schools make it look so boring when the real history is fascinating!

We did Welsh history in Cefn Saeson. We had a brilliant teacher, she made it really come alive. Same as A Level law, best teacher I ever had, made Tort and contract law interesting. Very hard to do as it so flipping boring

I didn't do so well in History, slept through much of it which is a real shame because I stay up late reading it now.

Rome, the Greeks, Vikings, Carthage and the Punic wars, the tribal history of Wales and how we always turned on each other, it's mind boggling and totally engrossing. Even the religious aspects which of corse drove much of what those people did. How did anyone manage to make that boring?

Maybe its different now. Maybe I just had bad teachers!

Anyway, that's off topic.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I had a whole thread on this once, with the usual responses and hostilities - thing is it doesn’t matter what they think it means. They throw ‘woke’ around as if it’s an insult precisely because they don’t know what it means, and if they did use it as an insult with knowledge of its meaning it tells all you need to know about their character and nature.

Well those responses and hostilities won’t happen here now.
As much as we can.

Those days are gone along with the freaks who used to push others to get hostile and then send PM’s to each other trying to find out who people were and plan the next level of bullying. That’s why they are no longer here.
