Political belief is human opinion, and not a protected class. Is your position that there is no human opinion for which de-banking is acceptable?

- gadders 4y agoGiven that even murderers, rapists and paedophiles get to have bank accounts, I don't think that there is any human opinion for which people should have their banks accounts removed for what they believe. If the views people espouse are illegal, then punish them via the law.
- minsc_and_boo 4y agoSo you're okay with your bank assisting ISIL in their weapons transactions? What about illegal activities outside of the law's jurisdiction?
- gadders 4y agoSee my previous answer: >>If the views people espouse are illegal, then punish them via the law. This also goes for their activities. There is a clear difference between someone saying "I think Terrorist Group X is great" on twitter and someone using their bank account so that Terrorist Group X can buy stuff to make bombs. And even in that latter case, once the person concerned has finished their prison sentence they should still get a bank account so they can live.
