linkage: non-ethical banks

[juliet]

Site with information about banks involved in non-ethical projects, and what you can do about it. Is entirely in Flash (grumble) but in fact it *is* usable Flash (I can't assess it for accessibility b/c I don't know enough about how accessibility & Flash content works, other than 'not a lot unless you try hard', but there is at least some keyboard accessibility, and direct links work, so it's not as irritating as it might be). Anyway! useful info, especially if you bank with RBS, HSBC, or Barclays (think most of the other banks listed are non-UK).

Banco Santander = Abbey, Alliance and Leicester and Bradford and Bingley though innit.

also, surely not barclays being up to no good??? ;)

to quote the hibbett:

most of my friends seem to bank with the co-op
but i prefer to stick with barclays
i like a bank that doesn't hide the fact
that they're a bunch of money-grubbing bloody n4zis

Oh yes, of course, I'd forgotten that re Banco Santander. And I should know it because Abbey had adverts banging on about it on ITV4 while I was watching the Tour!

also, are you sure this isn't just some sort of viral for the co-op bank (and their european comrades)? :)

Bah. I bank as much as possible with the Co-op, but I *have* to have my mortgage with HSBC as the are the on insitution who could lend on leftfield.
