This petition on the UK’s gov.uk expires in a few days:
I work in the sex industry and have been refused for 15 bank accounts because of the nature of my job even though it is completely legal and I am registered with HMRC. People should not be discriminated against because they work in the sex industry.
I don’t think it will get enough for a response, sadly, and, worse, I suspect that the response would be “that’s a matter for each bank” anyway, being cynical.
