PALESTINE protests continue to sweep Britain with occupations at five universities, a camp outside the headquarters of an Israeli-owned arms firm and over 2,000 Barclays bank customers closing their accounts.

Actions will continue nationwide at the weekend and show no signs of diminishing more than five months after Israel launched its murderous onslaught against the people of Gaza where the death toll now stands at more than 32,000.

Students are staging occupations at the Universities of Manchester and Leeds, Goldsmiths University in London, University College London and the University of Bristol.
