A Clusterbomb

UK: STOP EXPLOSIVE INVESTMENTS

UK banks are investing in cluster bomb producers. Barclays, HSBC and the Royal Bank of Scotland together provide loans and investments to the tune of £800 million, according to a report released by fellow Cluster Munition Coalition members. This means that some of the UK’s most prominent high street banks are providing some form of financial support to these shameful and indiscriminate weapons.
