Barclays high street branches are shut down by Greenpeace activists in protest against the bank’s continued multi-billion dollar support for fossil fuels. Greenpeace activists disabled the doors preventing staff from entering. At each of the branches targeted, images of Barclays customers bearing slogans such as were plastered on branch windows.
Greenpeace are demanding that Barclays, the biggest funder of fossil fuels among European banks, stop propping up oil, gas and coal companies and channel funding into renewable energy.
