Pro-Palestine protesters have targeted 20 Barclays across the U.K., smashing windows and throwing red paint over the bank branches in London, Bristol and Manchester. The Mail has the story.
Pictures show that all the windows of a branch in the centre of Bristol have been smashed and graffiti sprayed over them in the co-ordinated attack.
Posting on X, Palestine Action claimed to have “shut 20 Barclays branches” across England and Scotland with their antics.
The group said it took the action to “demand the bank divests from Israel’s weapons trade and fossil fuels”.
A spokesperson for Palestine Action said: “Barclays is funding the crises of climate collapse and genocide in Palestine.
“Decades of polite campaigning, petitions, letter writing and lobbying MPs have failed.
“We will continue to escalate until Barclays pulls its finger out and stops funding genocide and climate destruction.
In Bristol, the windows of the bank branch were smashed and red paint was doused over the property.
Meanwhile, in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, rocks inscribed with the names of Palestinians killed in the conflict were thrown at windows. …
Other branches targeted include Stockport and Bury in Greater Manchester, Preston in Lancashire, and St John’s Wood, Westminster and Croydon in London.
