XR Oxford visited Barclays Bank on Saturday as part of the Cut The Ties campaign to shine a spotlight on fossil fuel enablers. The XR Oxford Singers and Sea Green singers sang inside the bank, while Oxford rebels leafletted and talked to the public alongside the Oxford drummers outside
Why Barclays? Despite making claims of sustainable investment, it's Europe's biggest fossil fuel financier:

#Barclays, do the people who write these documents to pat yourself on the back with, know how you actually monitor your practices towards #Disabled customers?
Do the charities you claim to support know that you think faking a disability to give a review of a disabled person’s experience is just fine?
Continued thread
In 2017 the #Tories made #Barclays a Disability Confident Leader…a beacon of good practice in terms of being a disability aware company.
How is this status monitored or reviewed?
If you are paying people who aren’t disabled to check you meet the needs of the disabled, then that doesn’t appear to be in the spirit of the award to me.
Could #Labour’s Equalities Minister, Bridget Phillipson look into this (tangential point - but why is Education Secretary also Equalities Minister? It’s 2 jobs)
Continued thread
As someone who has worn hearing aids since the age of six, I find the notion that you would pay someone to pretend to have my condition and assess your ability to meet the needs of people who are genuinely hard of hearing and deaf just downright fraudulent.
To think you could equally do it with blind people just leaves me speechless.
Does #Barclays behaviour in this area in any way contravene the Equalities Act does anyone know?
#Barclays bank paying mystery shoppers to pretend to be suffering from some level of #Deafness or #Blindness does exactly what to help improve their services for people who genuinely have these conditions?
Do they just pat themselves on the back when they get a report from a mystery shopping putting on a disability that all is well at that branch in terms of equality of access to services???

Environmental groups including Extinction Rebellion have held regular protests outside Barclays' London headquarters to demand it stop funding oil and gas and instead throw its weight behind the energy transition. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/12/19/companies/barclays-target-uk-climate-activists/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #barclays #oil #coal #environment #climatechange #uk

"Top investment bankers on #Barclays’ mergers and acquisitions team were told last year their compensation would be cut by a minimum of 40 percent from the prior year. The bank had multiple hung deals that had hit its overall performance, but #X was by far the biggest."

@daringfireball How does this jibe with last year’s rumored #AppleCard switch from #GoldmanSachs' #MasterCard to #AmEx? https://DaringFireball.net/linked/2023/11/28/apple-goldman-breakup. (The other rumored partner was #Synchrony.)
Another possibility might be #Barclays; last month, #Goldman was supposedly in talks to transfer its #GeneralMotors card program there: https://WSJ.com/finance/goldman-sachs-general-motors-credit-card-barclays-226d2b02
(Barclays had a #Visa with #Apple Rewards card in the 2010s.)

But direct funding for specific projects makes up only part of Barclays' overall lending to the sector.
The bank has been under pressure from environmental campaigners, shareholder activists and even celebrities to curb its support."

September 16, 2010
“Blackwater’s Black Ops” — that’s the title of an explosive new article in The Nation magazine that reveals how entities closely linked with the private security firm Blackwater have provided #security and #intelligence services to a range of powerful #corporations over the past several years. The companies include #Monsanto, #Chevron, #DeutscheBank and others. Blackwater has also provided intelligence and training services to foreign governments, including #Jordan, the Canadian military and the Dutch police. We speak with investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill. [includes rush transcript]
"AMY GOODMAN: “Blackwater’s Black Ops” — that’s the title of an explosive new article in The Nation magazine that reveals how entities closely linked with the private security firm Blackwater have provided security and intelligence services to a range of powerful corporations over the past several years. The companies include Monsanto, Chevron, the Walt #Disney Company, Deutsche Bank, #Barclays and #RoyalCaribbean Cruise Lines.
"Blackwater has also provided intelligence and training services to foreign governments, including the Kingdom of Jordan, the Canadian military and the Dutch police. In 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto worked with Blackwater when she returned to #Pakistan to campaign for the general elections. Bhutto was assassinated in December of 2007.
"The new revelations come from documents obtained by The Nation. They show that Blackwater’s work for corporations and government agencies was contracted using two companies: #TotalIntelligenceSolutions and the #TerrorismResearchCenter. Both companies are owned by Blackwater’s owner and founder, #ErikPrince.
"Today also marks the third anniversary of the #NisourSquare massacre, when Blackwater guards gunned down seventeen #Iraqi civilians and wounded twenty in a fifteen-minute shooting spree in #Baghdad.
"For more, we’re joined now from New York by investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill. He’s a Puffin Foundation writing fellow at the Nation Institute. He’s a Democracy Now! correspondent and author of the book Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful #MercenaryArmy. His new article in online at thenation.com."
