Activists superglued shut Barclays branches across Britain [Extinction Rebellion]

CLIMATE activists superglued the door locks at almost 50 branches of Barclays today in protest at the bank’s financial involvement in fossil fuel industries.

Money Rebellion, a sister organisation of the Extinction Rebellion climate action group, accused Barclays of “continued climate-wrecking criminal damage which endangers the future of all life on the planet.”
