  There seems to be a reluctance within 38 degrees to organise mass boycotts of greedy egregious companies/banks/finance houses. The campaign to switch power suppliers is interesting in that it may set out a way forward to pick these selfish sods off one at a time. The letter written by the departing Goldman Sachs exec showed just what we are up against.

  There is nothing stopping anyone changing bank accounts, Banks love debts as much as credits... They make more money if yr in debt.

  So set up two three bank accounts and then decide which has made the worst bonus payments and then switch to the one you like. Then write to the chairman and tell them whjy you changed. Or try a Building society they still exist and are better value all round.

  Then when this is done by 100,000 people all togehter AND writing to the Board it will have impact.

  You do not need a law, or Govt but Collective Public Action... just look at what Ghandi achieved.

  Yes very good idea and one i suggested at a Q&A in Brighton to a huge round of applause. I reckon this would be popular with the public. Here is a similar idea http://www.cnbc.com/id/44800021/

  Agree with this and hope the right time comes sooner rather than later. Someone needs to change 'Withdrawm' to 'Withdraw' in the title though.

  Incredible progress in Holland. If well coordinated this could work well here.

  If ppl r thinking of withdrawing using their credit cards (or letting someone else do so) I'd advise being at least as heavily armed (or just wayy sneakier) than the BNP/debt collectors. Why should the devil win just by sheer force of strength? Might most definitely does *not* make right. Fuck the fkn fkrs!

  I'm in, but we need to get the unions (and their pension funds!) on the case. How can we do that? I don't have a pension, but I'm going to write to my union anyway.

  if this was built up to well using existing networks (UKUncut, Robin hood Tax) this could be amazing particular if it co in-sided with student loan payments. hit the banks in their pockets its the only way they'll listen, they don't listen to the government thats for sure

  People power is the future. Lets stop these corrupt financial hellholes with a few keystrokes.
