Our High Street banks are shamed in ‘Stop Bank Rolling Fossil Fuels Walk’ on Saturday 4th October

October 7, 2014 by merseyside

Before we go on our tour

Merseyside WDM Group want to say a big ‘Thankyou’  to the brilliant  photographer John Usher who was so generous with his time and talent  and so public spirited joining in too. ——–

The email below from one  of Merseyside WDM members  Jo to Sr Margeret, another of our members,  very succinctly sums up

the feeling of elation  after  completing the walk of’shame on the banks’:

Hi Margaret,

Wish you had been able to be there today!

It was great although there weren’t too many people in our audiences,

but we did make quite a rumpus and attracted a fair bit of attention.

It was both scary and enjoyable and surprising how convincing our smarmy bankers were!

John Airs and I had a real job on our hands quizzing them and John Usher chipped in too.

One passer-by even said he couldn’t bear to listen to the awful bankers any longerAnyway a sigh of relief went up at the end and smiles all round for our valiant effort!

I’ve copied everyone I can in,  so may I just say well done to everybody, the props were superb and you all worked so hard.It was great to be part of it

Thanks to you all.

Take care,

Jo X
