Barclays ticks every box for a failed model of banking. Since the banking crisis Barclays has continued to pay executives annual bonuses of tens of millions, and to decrease lending to the small businesses they had promised to support. Of all the big banks, Barclays receives the most complaints from the public to the UK Financial Services Authority.

Abroad, Barclays invests in the arms trade including the manufacture of deadly illegal cluster munitions and depleted uranium. It has regularly been accused of large scale money laundering. Barclays supports oppressive regimes such as Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, and is estimated to avoid between £800 million and £1billion in tax every year. In early 2012 it won the annual World Development Movement “Shame” award for food speculation: making hundreds of millions of pounds from betting on food prices and pushing millions into poverty and malnutrition.

This year, don’t let them gamble with your money.

Together, we have the power to change British banking for the better. Move Your Money!

SEE YOU ON FRIDAY!

Know any other Barclays customers? Bring them along too! We need to make sure on Bonus Day 2012 Barclays get the message loud and clear that the British public are not best pleased.
