We arrived at Barclays with plenty of the passing public unaware of what they fund.That was until the demo began! People passing we're genuinely shocked,and in disbelief,that a "respected" bank could fund such atrocities. Many vowed to cancel their Barclays account and never open an account with them.One lady went into the bank to give them a peice of her mind.

The police arrived with their usual anti democratic dictates.Tellin' us we needed a permit to do a demo,the placards were "offensive" & that we were making noise near a residential area(we were in the center of town where there is no residents!). Laughably,as the police were postering,they had to suddenly run off to fight real crime,whilst the public(around us) laughed at them.

Eventually,Barclays decided to shut their front door! Customers wanted to get in but Barclarys weren't allowing it.No customer respect,really.They directed the people who wanted to get in,to the side door,but we soon spread over there too.Informing every customer who went in there.

Smash HLS!
