Naffwest

National days of Action against Natwest Bank are proving effective. (Natwest loaned Huntingdon Life Sciences £24m, who are animal abusers even in the eyes of the law after a TV expose some time ago.) The Royal Bank of Scotland has sold its HLS shares. Bradford Council has released its 8 million shares. Sadly, other companies have acquired shares: Legal and General, Halifax Share Dealing, HSBC, ,Lloyds Private Banking. However, Natwest staff have received special instructions on dealing with customer inquiries on the Huntingdon issue. They are definitely losing customers.
