Amazing action. You made what would have been a boring old A-B march something to really shout about. Something special is happening...

Nicely done.

There's a more detailed report here:

Barclays were briefly occupied, the protesters left when the cops arrived, then the bank closed their doors. Vodafone and Lloyds both shut their doors too as they were on the verge of being occupied.

In response to the comment above, I don't know if you're right about bailouts, but in any case it's not the point. Barclays are still a good symbol/representative of the capitalist interests behind the cuts, and there's plenty of specific reasons to be angry at Barclays, starting with all the murderous shit they invest in.
