Between 11am and 1pm on Saturday 16th April, local campaigners from the anti-poverty campaign group the World Development Movement [1] held protest at the Barclays branch on Cornmarket, Oxford. 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. Protests are taking place in a further 22 locations across the UK this month, from Glasgow to Worthing. [2]
