As a follow on to the non violent action of encouraging others to switch their business and personal accounts to ethical banks, as ever, the challenge is to go mainstream to get some proper attension.

How?

Harness the power of amusing e-mails swapped between friends (I often get good ones several times from different sources such is the power to spread information this way).

Add in a dash of message of what you can do in protest.

Tell people what to do and how easy it is including alist of ethically run banks

Convince ethical banks to donate 50p to red nose day for every account that is open that refers to the circular e-mail and is credited with at least £500 (say).

Click send to ‘everyone I know’ with amessage to ‘forward on to everyone you know’ and see what happens…..

Now all we need is someone with a sense of humour and tech know how to research some archive photos of the chief offenders, add a red nose and a frizzy red commedy wig to the photos amnd some acurate public domain commentary to each (all for charity of course).

Make it funny, make it compelling, make it easy, make it the electronic equivalent of throwing rotton fruit at bankers in the village stocks.

Anyone fancy having ago at that?

PLEASE.

Red nose day is next Friday I think.

Jericoa

JB : or “Be kind to a banker day“?
. or will things like this be the way things go from now on?
