A Better Bail-Out : Out of HSBC (inc Midland, M&S Money)

HSBC gave £1.2bn in bonuses to 25,000 staff in 2011, including a £93m hike in bonuses to their investment bankers - we can only expect more of the same this year. Whilst they are happy to pay exorbitant sums to their bankers, HSBS refuses to pay its fair share in taxes. It has over 550 subsidiaries in the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Bermuda, Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, Jersey and other tax havens.

And you have the power to make things different! There are a range of alternative financial providers that, unlike HSBC, won’t invest in Guns and Gadaffi. By moving to one of these alternatives we can change banking, for good. That’s why we are calling on all HSBC customers to join us on February 27th when HSBC will announce their latest inflated pay packets. Join us outside the HSBC branch The Helicon, 1 South Place, City of London, EC2M 2UP, ready to Move Your Money. Whether it’s shutting your account for good, or making that first withdrawal, come and join the ‘better bail-out’ and get your money out of Lloyds, and into something better.
