Longtime gay rights campaigner and writer Gary Powell appeared on television in the United Kingdom last Friday to talk about Halifax Bank.

Last week, the bank issued pronoun badges and told customers to close their accounts if they disliked it. Thousands of customers have reportedly followed the advice of the bank’s Twitter account by ending their relationship with the institution.

According to the Daily Mail, one account holder and his family have already pulled £450,000 of savings and investments from Halifax bank.

One branding expert compared Halifax bank’s Twitter account to Gerald Ratner, the British CEO who almost tanked his jewelry company with a speech calling his own products “total crap.”

“There was a time when the customer came first,” Powell said. The bank’s reaction to Twitter respondents was especially frustrating. “I thought that was a very high-handed and arrogant response from a business.”
