Local campaigners hold food protest at Barclays Bank

April 9, 2011 by Huw Landrock

This morning, members of the Edinburgh WDM group held a protest at the Barclays branch on George Street.  This was to highlight the role that the bank  is playing in creating hunger by pushing up the price of key staple foods, through its reckless speculation on the global food markets.  Barclays is the UK’s biggest player in food speculation.  For more information and to take action go to www.wdm.org.uk/food.  It’s time to stop big banks like Barclays preying on the poor.
