Just saw an extract from this on TV:



Good old, Barclays. It's not like they've invested massively in cluster bomb technology which causes blindness. I mean, that'd be massively hypocritical, wouldn't it?

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/...ndustry-2338168.html
In April 2009, Barclays and HSBC were involved in a major financing deal with Textron, a US arms manufacturer that builds a "sensor fused weapon" – the world's most powerful cluster bomb. Alliant Techsystems makes the weapon's rocket motor.

Textron issued $757.4m worth of bonds and shares with the financial aid of a 10-bank syndicate. HSBC and Barclays combined underwrote $44.6m worth of loans. Barclays then went on to invest a further $75m in a separate Textron bond deal five months later.

I didn't know about that investment before. It's totally repugnant, yet not surprising.

All high street banks apart from the Co-Op invested in cluster bombs and depleted uranium.

Where there's a war, there's profit to be made. Those big money cunts of businessmen don't really give a shit on what they make their profits from do they?

I don't think the Co-op benefited from a nice fat bail out though, did it? Most unusual.

They've had it now, they're owned by hedge funds, like Royal Mail / everything.
