WHEN YOU CYCLE THE BARCLAYS HIRE BIKES YOU ARE CONSTANTLY ADVERTISING THIS CORPORATION. DO NOT ACCEPT IT!

Do not bank with Barclays! They are rare, but there ARE ethical banks out there.

Write to Boris Johnson and express your dismay at the co-option of what would otherwise be a great scheme mayor@london.gov.uk

Barclays will always put profit before people as long as its shareholders demand bigger and bigger profits each your. This is the inevitable result of unhindered free market capitalism. It is up to each one of us to raise our voice and use our skills to create alternative communities and societies that subvert, destroy and render useless a world where war is an economic necessity. Inaction is complicity. See you on the streets.
