On Monday, a coordinated protest took place at several Barclays branches across the country, including one in Broadmead, Bristol. The demonstration was organized by activists in response to the ongoing conflict in Palestine.
Throughout the night and early morning, members of Palestine Action targeted branches in cities such as Bristol, Manchester, and Stockport. They smashed the glass fronts of the buildings and sprayed them with red paint as a visible symbol of their protest.
According to the group, they have successfully shut down 20 branches in both England and Scotland. However, the extent of the damage caused is still unclear. Their motive behind these actions is to raise awareness about Barclays' alleged involvement in the Palestine conflict.
The group accuses Barclays of "funding genocide in Palestine" due to their investments in Israel's largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems. This has resulted in severe damage to branches, such as the one in Bury, Manchester.
