TARGET BARCLAYS - Bath demo this wednesday

TARGET BARCLAYS - GLOBAL INVESTORS IN DEATH

12PM WEDNESDAY 17TH MARCH 2010, BARCLAYS BANK, MILSOM STREET, BATH

Barclays Bank are the UK's largest investor in the arms trade, with
holdings of over £7.3bn. In addition to this they also provide market
maker services to weapons manufacturers - this means purchasing shares
from a weapons manufacturer and holding them until such a time as a
buyer becomes available. Barclays props up arms dealers, in return
making a profit from every share sold in UK, and every bomb dropped in
Palestine, Iraq and wherever is profitable to invade next.

In November 2009 Barclays were targeted nationwide by individuals
concerned by capitalisation of war for profit. Yet the bank which relied
heavily upon publicly-funded liquidity schemes to survive the credit
crunch has refused to listen to public opinion. As a result Wednesday
17th March will see Barclays once again targeted nationwide.

Bankers and institutional investors are the glue that finances the state
terror wreaked by the arms trade. Weapons manufacturers do not operate
in a vacuum but are propped up by the networks of corporations and
investors which constitute the global capitalist system which puts
profit before peace, greed before people.

TAKE ACTION - STOP BARCLAYS INVESTING IN MURDER

Heya oh teaheads and banditos!

Should you be prudish puddings, freak frogs, vegan vultures, breakfast brutes and funky fruits, bang poets or junk poets or even just plain poets, blue cabbages and pink trumpets, merry-go-round travellers or magic roundabout surfers and hulla-hoop singers, studious students and naughty rodents, squatterpillars or passers-by, funny flapping flowers or blooming butterflies, party people or bursting bubbles, the usual crows and so many more if you're hungry for the encore... You are all invited to the first edition of MADAME HATTER'S SCABROUS CABARET for a night of sweet delirium open to all sorts of performers, artists, poets, musicians and story-tellers...

The Black Cat has currently hold of a massive gig space with a bar, a sound system, a grand piano and even a toilet for you to play with! Roof is high and acoustics much refined, come rock and trash the space and time with paint and taste, we wouldn't mind!

We can be found opposite Pickfords on Lower Bristol Road, The Black Cat is behind a little red door and you are all welcome! Bring a guitar, bring a poem, or just bring yourself for a friendly evening of the arts ^.^

She's slim and slimy and could easily break into your pipery,
Beware of Madame Hatter coz' of decadence she's the plumber... C]:o)

The best way to spot the place is looking for a red door opposite Pickfords on Lower Bristol Road, although we'll have a Black Cat sign up soon.
