March For A Fair Financial System.

[pompeyfaith]

Well the man to put that together is Mr Martin Lewis

Not necessarily - it needs the will of everyone around the country to organise themselves, collectively, on an agreed date.

[renegotiation]

It would have even more impact if those who could organise a mass protest in London did so, and others organised as big a picket/rally in their nearest large town that they could afford to get to, making sure that the local media were informed, and tied into the national media.

 

This way, if you could have huge protest marches in every major city, and smaller ones or non-obstructive pickets in smaller towns (especially where banks are clustered together, or outside the local MP's consituency offices), you'd really get the message across.

 

I think that's a great idea because for all the will in the world some folk won't be able to get to London. Furthermore, it gives less ammo to the police to try and stir up trouble by kettling a huge crowd.

[bazaar]

Well, while we are waiting for organised marches, maybe a directly worded Freedom Of Information request should go in to the SC.

I'm thinking specifically asking for associations with Banks, any remuneration from financial institutions, etc.

Maybe we can find some dirt which could stick. Just a thought

[ammani]

Hi everyone. Count me in too, i think its time the people did something for themselves, as you certainly cannot rely on our MPS and Government to do anything, they are only concerned with what they can do for themselves. People need to motivate themselves and get out of the lethargy that grips them. If you want change, you have to start by making a stand yourself! Power to the people.

[Jan4a]

Yes, and we could go to the pub afterwards

 

If this is going to work though we need loads publicity to get people out there.

[wishboneash]

LMAO. That call to action went well then. Landy and I on a bicycle made for two. They will be quaking in their boots at Westminster. No wonder this country is in such a mess. When we are all completely enslaved, which I seriously believe we will be, we will only have ourselves to blame. No hard feelings though folks. I acknowledge that it's hard to stand up and be counted after having our noses rubbed in the dirt for so long.

post and what they do for you mp website and tell them what you think

and smear them too

by not voting

lots of choices even the BNP

[GLoyal]

I'm in.

 

I think a go slow convoy in the Bank's HQ towns and a major protest in London.

 

The question is, will Halifax realise the gridlock is due to a protest.

[bazaar]

Go slow convoy, youd have to pay those damned charges in London, but using the zebra crossings constantly for the main roads would cause some stoppage. Maybe dress up as the beatles;)

[scared001]

Good job. I don't use any social networking sites myself so know sod all about them.

Yes, at least they slagged the banks off a bit, though it was hardly completely damning.

The site Announcement said it was best to do nothing for a few days. Maybe you are best off starting your own thread on this?

Just bumping this up, to keep it going.Come on everyone, make a stand.

[Sol]

I would be in for it. It's about time we showed all these *ankers and politicians they're nothing without us!

[rebel11]

I suggested this a couple of weeks ago, You really should change this to a 'march for our money back' we are in this pickle because of a Labour Government who believed the financial systems should be lightly regulated, Brown even said that to Andrew Marr when he was interviewed, this was even after the banks collapsed. We want justice. We should be talking to 'The Treasury Committe'.

[Sol]

Brown couldn't organise a *iss up in a brewery, he's no idea! The sooner he and Labour are out the better!

[marie6666red]

i will join a march...i think the working class of this country have lost sight of the actual power they have.unlike the french...if the ordinary people....cleaners, porters, ticket agents,drivers etc. withdrew their labour this country would be on its knees in a week.

i am currently trying to open a co op bank account and stuff the halifax..if the working classes did similar .......end of bonuses...end of fat cat wages...a new era...... the peoples bank!!!

and as for labour and conservative.....they should hang their heads in shame!!!!

[2ltr16valve]

I would march as well, as would many I know Bring it on. About time we took action like our French neighbours ! they would not stand for this crad !

 

[pompeyfaith]

CO-OP BANK LOL steer well clear of that one, they are no better in fact they are having a laugh hiding behind the big players thinking they are untouchable.

[marie6666red]

We are becoming more and more like the U.S.A.. Labour and the Tories are just 2 sides of the same coin. The Labour Party should hang their heads in shame not sorting out these bank charges. It's disgraceful. Labour Party my arse. I was thinking today, it's just going to go round and round in circles. Either the County Courts will start paying out and the banks will keep charging anyway, which gets us nowhere really; the OFT may take a second case and win, but will still allow rip off charges (reduced a bit); the County Courts don't pay out en masse and the OFT loses a second test case (disaster); or we take the bull by the horns and demand action from our government. It's the only option and it's clear in my mind. If this is going to happen it needs millions of us to get involved up and down the country. We need peaceful marches in every town and city. It's time for the banks to come clean. People are so docile nowadays I wonder if it is even possible. :( I think there are like 10 of us on this thread so far, but it's a start! The site team need to back this and hook up with the other bank charges sites. Then everyone on every site needs to spread the word on every forum, blog, social networking site and chat room they frequent, as well as using all possible media outlets. We will stand a chance then.

 

EDIT - There are 16 of us that have stood up and said we'd march so far. Come on Bankfodder, Dave and the Site Team! Martin Lewis looked up for really doing something. He has great media connections i'm sure. Let's do something!

I'm very sorry to hear it.

[pompeyfaith]

Renegotiation,

 

Its ok the battle is still ongoing and not over, but anyone thinking of opening a co-op account should give them the same consideration as any other bank as they are no better.
