Time For Some Financial Terrorism

Here we go again, the banks are, according to the Daily Mail, are effectively holding the country to ransom with their attitude of, “You leave our bonus payments alone, we will lend to small business”.

My attitude to that would be very simple and basic, F*** Off and reduce your bonus payments now. If these banks had been lent money out of the public purse I would demand immediate repayment of all funds within 30 days unless bonus payments were controlled to an acceptable level.

Banks are effectively running this country, not the so called government, otherwise the banks bonus payments would be under control. I think it is time for some financial terrorism.

My idea is very simple, it involves no violence, nothing unlawful, just ordinary people exercising their rights and free will. It is simple, but hard to organise and I do not have the time to really set this in motion, but anyone can freely take my idea and use it.

Organise nationally as many people who bank with one specific bank, for example Barclay’s get them to change their accounts to another bank at a designated time on a designated day, claim the incentive payment from the new bank for changing their account.

Get everyone to do the same as often as possible all at the same time of day. The idea would be to throw the banks into total chaos at one point on one day and to hit all the banks at the same time, best time would be I think straight after the weekend, or just before the weekend for maximum effect.

On the same day all small shareholders in the banks should be willing to put their shares on the market, again to be effective lets pick on Barclays as their CEO is responsible in part for the meltdown and has had about £75 million in pay and bonus payments. On a set day at a set time swamp the market to try and give an impression of no confidence in the bank, then systematically do the same to every bank in the country.

This would put control back in the hands of the people, it costs nothing, it hurts no one, only the banks and their fat cat bankers. Simples.
