RBS Banner Protest in York

Rebel W | 01.05.2008 13:12 | Climate Camp 2008 | Climate Chaos

People from groups across the city and both Universities took part in a banner protest outside Royal Bank of Scotland's central branch in the city. Leaflets were handed out sumarising RBS's climate crimes.

If the action was unimpressive in and of itself, then the fact we've finally broken the inertia around actions in York was probably a success in itself. The rain managed to hold off (only just) and even the passing cops had nothing whatsoever to say on the matter.

The action was held today because, well, its Mayday and its the day of action against False Capitalist Solutions, of which investment in new oil is perhaps the dimmest idea of the lot!

'broken the inertia around actions in York'

Hmmm, well there have been a whole lot of demos around the issues of fur and foie gras in York, and even the impact of animal industries on the environment too.

Didn't see you there.

if you're serious about breaking the "inertia" in York, describing peoples' actions as unimpressive maybe isn't the best approach. from the brief report given it sounds like it was pretty good anyway.

just saying.

The only kind of action I have seen was a small fois gras awarness raising at last years green festival. A noble cause but there are more important things on my agenda. Going back from that the last action I was a part of was when the Afganistan and Iraq wars were in full flow. There never seems to be anything happening on the York Indymedia page?
