BARCLAYS CASH MACHINES PUT OUT OF ACTION (UK)

reported anonymously:

"5 Barclays cash machines put out of action in the East (UK).

We would like to take this opportunity to reflect on our leniency towards Barclays thus far. We have taken the view that gentle pressure is needed to make them sell their LSR and NYX stock, as has been the case across the board.

HOWEVER - ANYONE CONSIDERING PROVIDING UK BANKING FACILITIES AND £30M LOAN TO HLS WILL LIT THE FUEL OF ANGER THAT HAS BEEN BREWEING FOR SOME TIME AS A RESPONSE TO THE HORRORS OF HLS, AND THE ONGOING TERRORISM OF PEACEFUL ACTIVISTS BY THE BRITISH STATE. WE WILL BE CLEAR - IF YOU OFFER THESE SERVICES TO HLS YOU WILL BURN. THIS IS NOT A THREAT, IT IS A PROMISE - FEEL FREE TO TEST US, IT IS WHAT WE HAVE WAITED FOR.
