SHACin' Barclays

SHAC Brum | 26.09.2008 19:17 | SHAC | Animal Liberation | Birmingham

A 2hr demo that brought: complaints and withdrawn accounts :)





Our demo began with passersby immediately shocked by the images,on the banner,and askin' why Barclays is involved with this.Whether by askin' us directly or simply by their facial expressions on their face. Many people,even without us entertaining the idea,went inside to complain of their disgust.And with multiple more,stating they will remove their Barclays bank account as soon as they can.

Members of the public signed our petition against Barclays involvement,with HLS,and took leaflets.With the reassurance that they will join the SHAC campaign.Many wanted to offer donations and appreciated us being there.The public,bit by bit,is turning on Barclays and it's only a matter of time before they drop HLS.

SMASH HLS!

I just wanted to thank the demonstrators for their public service today. HLS and all who support them should be stopped.Congratulations on this important awareness raising excercise

Now who's the wally?

G x, I wonder what contribution you have made to the SHAC campaign to qualify you to make any comment at all...

The only way people can be educated to the sort of manipulation the likes of SHAC organisers get upto is to talk freely in the open. If SHAC and the likes is the be all and end all of campaigns then it should stand upto critisism should it not?

I can tell you that SHAC stabbed more people in the back than I have fingers and toes to count, dropping people like hot bricks when they were no use after bleeding them dry. SHAC hang activists out to dry and many have convictions to prove it.

If you want to get into a public debate about this I'm happy to contribute but don't accuse me of being part of something I'm not just because you don't like what I say, very childish.

Dear Pete,

I would like to keep my contributions to closing down HLS private, however legal they may be, I'm sure you understand.

You were not educating people about SHAC, you made a flippant remark like may I add you did about Luke!

I wasn't saying you were the idiot behind SHAC WATCH, but how can you moan about a campaign that is world wide, full of different people doing widely different things. If you have got into trouble or you know someone who has got into trouble it's either of their own doing or the daft laws that have come into play, don't go round blaming other AR people, ignore the propaganda there are no puppet masters.

p.s you didn't spot my spelling mistake then!!

You carry on thinking that SHAC is well. SHAC has crushed the AR movement and more is to come I suspect. You can't blame people for getting into trouble when they are told everything is ok wev'e consulted a top QC.

I would urge any person to keep well away from SHAC because you will get into some right shit. Stick to animal aid.

If not for SHAC we wouldn't have all these laws restricting protest!

No matter about the spelling, mines crap.
