There was a small but lively demonstration outside Lloyds TSB main branch in Edinburgh.





Saturday 31st January saw a protest outside the Edinburgh Lloyds TSB Hanover Street branch. Several photos of the 12.00 – 14.00 demonstration, which was small but visible and noisy, are attached.


Interpal, the informal name for the Palestinian Relief and Development Fund is a non-political, non-profit making British charity set up in 1994 to alleviate problems faced by Palestinians and focuses solely on the provision of relief and development aid to the poor and needy Palestinians the world over, primarily in the Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan.


Lloyds TSB has demanded that the Islamic Bank of Britain cease all dealings with the registered charity. By hitting Interpal’s banking facilities, Lloyds TSB aims to support Israel by shutting off the trickle of aid that Interpal has managed to get into occupied Palestine over the years of Israel’s brutal siege.



There have been a number of protests outside branches of Lloyds TSB around the country including:
