UK Bank protesters turn branches into services
Sunday 27 February 2011
Anti-cuts activists opposed to the bank bailout occupied 40 branches across the country on Saturday, pilling on the pressure against RBS, Lloyds and Natwest.
The action co-ordinated by UK Uncut saw people set up "essential services" in banks, including creches, hospitals, libraries and job centres on Saturday.
Campaigners pointed out that the banking bailout had cost billions but had only led to super profits for the rich, while the government is gearing up to slash public spending.
In Islington, North London, 50 activists set up a laundry in an RBS branch in reaction to cuts to services for the elderly, including a much-needed laundry service.
