Bank Manager Lament Official Video with CAG address...
Have posted info on this piece and first live performance. Attached is the link to the Official Video recorded and edited in the last 48 hours. I have added the Consumer Action Group link at the end as you guys inspired me to write the piece. admin Dave though the link would be fine as long as it looks like an independent video....
Hope you all like it. Content does contain an expletive and could be considered quite scary so please view without the kids around. I believe the video compliments the words and is a representation of how many of us feel.
Dont watch this if you may be upset by imagery of suicide
Re: Bank Manager Lament Official Video with CAG address...
Wow - good stuff - really drives the point home. I bet there are hundreds if not more people driven to feel like this by uncaring and greedy banks.
Good stuff Matt well done.
Best Wishes

Congratulations on a well-pointed hard-hitting image. A sober message for all banks and their staff.
I suppose that the banks won't care but maybe it will help to jog some of the staff who feel ambivalent about the business of charges.
The bank charges campaign needs more people who know shat is happening behind the scenes and who have a sense of social justice and morality to come and let us know what is going on.
As long as your evidence relates to wrongdoing or iniquity then neither your employment contract nor the law will protect the bank or allow the bank to attack you.
We receive all kinds of information and are very good at using the information and protecting our sources.
This video is quite real. Don't watch it to be entertained. Watch it to become aware or to be reminded of the tragedy and grief caused in the lives of thousands people by the vicious greed of your employers.

Very Good, Mark.
There have been times in my life that I've felt exactly the same way, but i'm a coward, so didn't follow through. I'm mostly sorted out now, but only because I've found my own guardian angel.
People, please, please don't give up.
As long as your heart is beating, there's hope. Have faith that you are not alone, and there are moral people out there who are only too willing to help.

Re: Bank Manager Lament Official Video with CAG address...
Hi Mat,
A very strong and well presented piece , well done.
HOWEVER,
I am very sorry to say that I know a lot of people on this site myself being one of them , for who this may be a step too far in the glorification of getting the message across . Although I like the piece I do not feel it is appropriate to be accessible through CAG . I have talked to many people on here in the past who have contemplated suicide whether it be because of financial difficulty or otherwise , I have even been very close myself in the past.
I feel I really must object to this being assosiated with CAG. I am sure everyone will disagree with me but , I have to air my own opinion as i STRONGLY OBJECT.
I respect the fact that you have pre-warned people of the content but as in life , wherever it says `wet paint ` we still touch it

I know it is shocking, (shocked me when I saw it and I had heard the poem before I saw the video) but sometimes shock and horror is what gets a message across.
**admin added the warning for a reason, if you are upset by this imagery seriously don't watch it.**
I read the warning - I am not that stupid, I can make up my own mind and have done so.
Swear and you will get shot down in flames, tell a joke that offends the smallest of minorities, it will be deleted - hang yourself in a mock video - that is fine, go for your life (so to speak).

I was just trying to explain why I thought it was good
I know, it was a rant in general and not aimed at you.
