outrage over new bank charges

[sparks199]

In a clear-cut case of anti-British discrimination, the partially taxpayer-owned bank Lloyds TSB charges British people £200 for an overdraft and Muslims £15 for the same facility, it has been revealed.

The disparity has come about as a result of the introduction of Sharia banking by Lloyds and other banks in response to the Islamic colonisation of Britain.

This Muslim colonisation of Britain has, in turn, been caused by the Third World invasion immigration policies pursued by Tory and Labour governments.

The “Islamic account” offered by Lloyds TSB was set up to attract Muslim customers by “allowing them to keep faithful to their religion.” Apparently, Sharia law does not permit the payment of interest so the Islamic account at Lloyds TSB has been set up without an overdraft facility. No interest is charged on Islamic accounts, while customers with a normal account are hit with charges of up to £200 if they go overdrawn.

If a Muslim customer who has insufficient funds in the account tries to make a payment, it is blocked and a “return item fee” is charged.

However, on some Islamic accounts such a payment is authorised and an “unplanned overdraft fee” of £15 is then levied. The bank says this is a management fee, not a payment of interest, so does not contradict Sharia law.

Non-Muslim customers who go into the red without authorisation are fined with an “unplanned overdraft fee” of £20 a day for a maximum of ten days, plunging them into a £200 debt which is avoided by Muslim customers.

* There is good news: the “Islamic account” is available to all customers at Lloyds TSB. This bank needs to be taught a lesson for their initial exploitation of overdraft fees and their blatant anti-British discrimination.

The one way to do this is for all Lloyds TSB customers reading this story to go down to their branch and demand that their account be made into an “Islamic account.”

If enough people do this, the banks will not be able to steal as much money from the public as they would like. It will also send a message to the banking community that more and more people are sick and tired of their blatant discrimination.

All other High Street banks offer Sharia banking as well and there is no reason why all customers cannot suddenly claim to be Muslim and open these sorts of banking accounts to teach all the banks a lesson in people power.

Earlier this month, it emerged that ‘losses’ at Lloyds had escalated to £13.4 billion. It has already been bailed out by the taxpayer to the tune of £17 billion and is 43 percent taxpayer-owned

It's called Islamic Banking and even you can have an account run under Shariah Law.

[Desperate Daniella]

I'm outraged too. This is blatantly discriminatory. I shall be calling my bank on Monday.

no i cant ... and even if i could . why have a diffrant rule because of your own religion

[Desperate Daniella]

Actually this could be a big moneysaver for all caggers. I hope this thread attracts a lot of attention.

Why can't you open one?

There is no religious test to opening the bank account. There is no discrimination because of race creed or colour.

well we shall see if i can change my account ..i guess that you cant just change for the sake of not getting any charges

 

but there is discrimination on religious grounds

You can't change the type of account you have but you can open an account and move your payments over.

The £15.00 fee is not entirely correct since you can be charged unpaid fees. I saw the article elsewhere and read through the charges bit.

[postggj]

lets get this right and call me a racist if you want

i dont care

 

there is only one law in this country

 

its called the houses of parliment and the house of lords

 

we cut off a kings head for these rights

 

how dare any company bring in this sharia law which by any standards is barbaric

 

public stoning and beheading for instance

 

how is the goverment etc allowing this

 

this is europe, not the middle east

 

the rule of law as laid down by magna carter is for every one

 

all faiths

 

 

we are now becomming a split society thanks to the pc brigade

 

this has to stop

[Bookworm]

And the source of this particular piece of crap?

 

Well, I had guessed it, but just for confirmation:

 

Taxpayer-Owned Bank Overdraft Fees: British Customers Pay £200, Muslims £15 : The British National Party

 

PS: How can it be "clear-cut anti-British discrimination", when a large proportion of born and bred Brits are in fact Muslim?

[Aequitas]

I find the terms in which Sparks199 expresses himself to be utterly repugnant. There has been no Islamic colonisation of Britain. When anyone applies to be allowed into Britain his religion, quite rightly, is not taken into consideration. Since most of the Muslims applying for a sharia account will be British, I fail to see how there are can be any anti-British discrimination. Further, being a Muslim, or indeed of any religion, is not incompatible with being British.

this has nothing to do with racist

 

dont play that card ...

[Bookworm]

Oh, and it is nothing new, early CAGgers reported on this 3 yrs ago, when someone noticed it (can't remember which bank though).

 

And just to add to the controversy a tad, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with PC or not, but with free market. If you don't like Barclays dealings with Zimbabwe and supporting Mugabe's regime, then you bank elsewhere. If it helps you sleep better believing Co-op's claims they are "ethical", then you bank with them.

 

Please let's not make this a race or religion issue when there is none. If we ALL had to bank according to Sharia law, then you'd have reasons to moan. In the meantime, each to their own. Maybe my bank charges me more for going overdrawn, but at least I don't risk getting stoned to death for disagreeing with my husband, thank you very much.

[postggj]

well that explains it bookie

 

they know at the bnp how to push the right buttons

 

thing is

 

is it true or all crap

why should 1 account charge x amount and the other charge x amount

In fact it was the Daily Mail who published the article first(yesterday) and the BNP that took a BNP view to it this morning. Not the other way round.

[Bookworm]

It has EVERYTHING to do with racism. :-? The BNP is making it so. "anti-British discrimination".

 

Oh ok, it's not racism, it's xenophobia. It's just the BNP doesn't use that word often because most of its members probably don't understand its meaning, least of all how to spell it.

I see where the BNP view comes from, a copy and paste from their site. Poor choice of article sparks since the Daily Mail article would have been a better choice and is already posted on the forum.
