Bank Run 2010 Dec 7th

The power of this kind of movement lies in the sheer number of people that are prepared to do a single action together at more or less the same time. The banks need to see that we are serious and see that there are a lot of people that are willing or at least thinking about closing their account on the 7th of December because they are unhappy.

So I have removed the poll that was up before. The results were pretty clear amongst the small group of a few hundred people that voted back in 2009 that clients are unhappy and prepared to change their account. There were also people that said that they were happy too. However a few hundred is not enough and this needs to be spread more widely. So I have started two new polls. If you look on the left you will see the two polls asking if you are happy with your present bank and asking if you are prepared to complete the following act of moving your bank account.

I know this all sounds a bit confusing "moving bank accounts" and what affect will that have but what I propose is not to take on the whole financial system but rather to single out one bank and use our power against one bank then move onto the other banks. We as a group tackle them one by one like they pick on us one by one. So I have added a third poll for all of us to decide which bank should be first. If the bank you are unhappy with is not on the list please let me know so that I can add it.

Again this will only work when there are lots of us so please spread the word.
