3rd World Debt

Late Sept - early Oct During last year’s freshers fair, actions at the Manchester student branches of Lloyds and Midland over just three days reduced the number of new accountees by 40%, (from leaked correspondence between the branch managers and the local University Students Unions). Most students decide on who to bank with and then open an account all in the space of the first half of their "freshers week".

Demos at key branches of the major high street banks for just these couple of days, would effectively screw the banks for the whole of the year. See EF! AU nos 4 & 5, and for further information contact Manchester EF! 061 225 7128 or L.A.M.B. 061 275 2930.
