My Idea For Civil Disobedience


The banks took our money… let's take it back.

Imagine this…

One million UK citizens each withdraw the total of their bank account overdraft (let's say £1000 each), donate it to a local community service or charity that is struggling because of the cuts, and then write to their bank to let them know what they have done, why they have done it, and that they refuse to pay back the overdraft and will no longer be funding the account.

Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to, your good friend, Civil Disobedience. This is how we win.

One million people donating £1000 each means One Billion English Pounds Stirling back into our pillaged communities. It means One Billion English Pounds Stirling taken back from the banks. More than that, it means we will have the governments undivided attention, and enough leverage to achieve our simple and plain goal: to make government abandon its austerity programme. The only question is can get the numbers? With those numbers the government would be powerless. The answer is obvious… of course we can get the numbers!

Let's cut to it. The banks took our money and now we are paying for it with our lives, our communities and our futures. So, let's take our money back, let's take our power back, let's take our future back. We need to show the government that we can and will take decisive action, i.e. that we will win this. What I am proposing will force change. It will capture the imagination of the public, inspiring and empowering them, whilst disempowering the government. This is a course of action that is simple, effective, and achievable. This is our victory card.

We have the resources, the means and the collective will for all UK residents to live in material security. We should aim for nothing less, and accept nothing less.
