HSBC local banks to be occupied

THE “world’s local bank” will be greeted with some tough love from communities today as families turn HSBC branches into “crime scenes” in protest against the bank’s continued tax-dodging.

At noon protesters in London, Nottingham, Taunton and Shrewsbury will go into their local branches dressed in forensic suits to the sound of Pink Panther.

UK Uncut called on supporters to dress as cops and robbers for a day of “creative, family friendly civil disobedience.”
