This is a great example of the Establishment in reality. For years, banks have been debanking Muslims. HSBC has been at the forefront. A journalist - very well known - had been working on an investigation on it for the Telegraph, and the story was killed by the editors and possibly owners in collaboration with one of the paper's biggest advertisers, HSBC.
