Supergluing an ATM? Wow, you crazy radical you. That should bring the UK banking system to its knees. The fact you even post this as some sort of victory shows what a pathetic little cretin you no doubt are. What did you do afterwards? Smash up a few bus shelters? Maybe vandalise a phone box? That'll teach BT a lesson huh?

Participate in some meaningful action or fuck off. Either way, don't bore me with the juvenile nonsense you posted above. Kids round my way do this sort of thing on trick or treat, for god's sake.

This act of vandalism against barclays will have cost barclays and their customers money. So that will hurt them - albeit in a small way. Yes, its not bringing down the bank but how do you suggest bringing the bank down?

Dont knock someone who got off their arse and decided to hurt barclays in whatever way they saw most appropriate.

But that's my bank! Good job the ATM was working at my local branch or I'd have gone hungry that night. Good to know that as a customer (through no fault of my own - Barclays took over the bank I chose!) I'm someone who deserves to lose money even though I'm an anarchist who is also vegan. Strange analysis these animal rights people have. Does seem a bit moralistic and self-rightious really. Who isn't guilty of some connection with capitalism- buying food, clothes, books, etc? Are we supposed to rid our lives of any association with companies who invest in animal abuse, pay their workers crap wages, put workers lives at risk, build prisons, support right-wing campaigns, are homophobic etc. Might be difficult.

I'm not saying don't do direct action but maybe have a better understanding of how capitalism ensnares us all. Break the windows, leave the customers alone!

PS. Looking forward to a stream of bile masquerading as comment.

i think that when the consumer has to participate in this capitalist system, they have a duty to be ethical with their choices. Relating to Barclays, this is a company that supports animal abuse inside HLS, contributes to environmental deforestation and provides huge loans to damming companies in Iceland, etc. Scratch just a little below the surface and you realise that this company is dirt and should not be supported in any way. Banks only help the rich, and Barclays wont make their money at my expense.

i agree that it is difficult to live completely parallel to capitalism, but you can purchase from ethical companies, and not buy into their consumer culture - share and reuse books and clothes, only take what you really need etc.

in most places there are multiple ATMs, so i'd hope this action would not inconveniece most innocent people.

Always nice to see, keep it up fellow comrade :-)
From Bite Back to the posters in the streets, this Carnival is also sorted!

I think this shows why even when (or especially when?) it's violent, uses anarchy symbols or appropriates the imagery and language of antifa the animal rights movement tends to be merely an expression of militant liberalism.

"i think that when the consumer has to participate in this capitalist system, they have a duty to be ethical with their choices".

Er, we all have to participate in this capitalist system. I'm not sure that berating people for not choosing 'nicer' capitalists is in any way genuinely radical. Most people don't know about this campaign, and indeed are unlikely to care that much. I'm an anarchist who happens to be vegan, and I don't really care (I'm a different poster to the one above with similar views to mine by the way). Not about AR campaigns in the way they are framed anyway. For a start they seem to deliberately go out of their way to alienate most people. A milieu in which it becomes acceptable to dig up someone's dead granny is going to be seen as somewhat fucked. Further to that I don't think 'animal rights' is a viable concept in itself either, at least in the way most AR activists put it.

"Relating to Barclays, this is a company that supports animal abuse inside HLS, contributes to environmental deforestation and provides huge loans to damming companies in Iceland, etc. Scratch just a little below the surface and you realise that this company is dirt and should not be supported in any way.

You've just invalidated your own argument. As it's a systemic problem and not Barclays making a choice to be nasty, which bank should I use, given they all help the rich (even the so called ethical ones)? Should we keep our wages in a shoebox under our beds?

"i agree that it is difficult to live completely parallel to capitalism, but you can purchase from ethical companies, and not buy into their consumer culture - share and reuse books and clothes, only take what you really need etc."

It is impossible to live outside of capitalism. Ethical companies are still capitalist.

"in most places there are multiple ATMs, so i'd hope this action would not inconveniece most innocent people"

Which people are not innocent? Are you referring to Barclays customers?

my tuppence for all you pixies out there
