Barclays Bank – Back In The (Bad?) News

Banks can only function if people like you provide them with the means to do so.

…

Lots of cash

..

That is, if your cash is interred in their vaults

Barclays previously got our disapproving attention for its rancid pro-EUSSR  activity…

EUSSR – Barclays Bank Still Funding Enemy Within?

The Centre for European Reform is a think-tank devoted to making the European Union work better and strengthening its role in the world.

….the EU should take on more responsibilities globally, on issues ranging from climate change to security.

That’s not opinion – it’s what the CER says about itself

Europe Day? Please Note Collabo Companies!

….and then Barclays behaved badly again last year, endorsing an overtly racist slogan….

Barclays memo tells staff ‘black lives matter’

No assertion by Barclays that…

ALL LIVES MATTER?

.

… and now we hear more disturbing news…

Barclays’ UK chief executive has been criticised for sitting on the board of a charity with ties to a group designated as a terrorist organisation by Israel….

You can read all about that, and may wish to close your Barclays account…

….or at least send an email protesting about that man’s behaviour.

Or if you are a share-holder, demand action.

PS – several other banks also need scrutiny.

Insert Lloyds, NatWest and HSBC into that little search box on  the right and see for yourselves!

Good Work, Guardian? Yes, For Once?

Quite appalling that Barclays refused to hand over an old lady’s money…

…she was told last September that the bank was closing her account on 28 December because of Brexit.. 

…till a Guardian journo intervened.

No circumstances changed – the banksters just dragged their feet, until finally they had to cower from potentially bad publicity

But what about other issues we have seen raised about Barclays, such as their kow-tow memo?

No assertion by Barclays that…

…but Barclay’s is unfortunately not the only bank up to its neck in partisan politics…

.

Lloyds Bank, Still Funding Secretive Europhiles! 

…not least Lloyds.

Funding, collaborating with a rabid Europhiliac pressure group that boasts about its furtive meetings with business interests?

Their response to complaints was pathetic then too!

Keep track of what your bank is up to.

If you are a share-holder, use your rights toquestion and condemn politicises roguery! .

If you have an account, close it!

And soon we’ll be taking a look at the Bank of England!
