Lots of speculation.  Maybe wait to hear what happened.  It's a bit of a war zone there, despite all the great things that have happened to Peckham, and I am working there at the moment, lots of criminality at Barclays.  Not speculation, but from a meeting had with one of the advisors.  Not staff but old school thieves

Went past earlier today, not sure when it happened but all the glass panels have been smashed by what looks like a hammer and huge slogan across the front spray painted.

What was the slogan?

Lots of criminality at Barclays? Old school thieves? Are we talking scams at the ATMs, people being robbed after getting cash out, or what?

Did  the slogan not give a clue as to why this was done? 

What was it?

I googled yesterday and couldn't find anything online about this.

yes the slogan gave an explicit clue to what this was all about, there were two days of action against the bank nationally, with an extensive list of targeted branches funding+stop++Barclays+genocide

If that was a link,it doesn't work.

Or was that what the slogan said?

Oh ok I googled and found this:

~~I'm not posting what was painted across the frontage, Admin would rightly ban me. 

Look at what you think the link was, the clue is in the words when put in the right order

    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.   
    • St Christopher's only take books in perfect condition. 
    • This is where I sit too. A two day event is bearable. Three tests my tolerance. Finding the right balance on size, noise and impact is where I contribute to the consultation process. BUT, as I wrote elsewhere, every year the GALA organisers ask/ push for more, and deals have already been done with the council before it gets to public consultation stage. It is also worth pointing out that when a licence was first granted, the orgnaisation was different (We Are the Fair), one of the company directors lived literally next to the park (she left when it became GALA) and the current form bears no resemblance to original ethos/ vision sold to the council and licensing committee. This needs to be pointed out and I am fairly confident local councillors would also support a pushback on any further expansion. We have local elections next year, so councillors ears will be open.
