Quakers lead musical protest against HSBC
‘HSBC is the world’s sixth biggest funder of fossil fuel expansion.'
A Bristol Friend led a peaceful protest against the bank HSBC demanding that it stop fossil fuel investment. Quaker Jo Flanagan took part in the musical protest targeting the institute’s annual general meeting (AGM) on 29 April. Quaker Julia Bush told the Friend: ‘HSBC is the world’s sixth biggest funder of fossil fuel expansion, including new coal power stations, and is also heavily invested in Russian oil and gas companies. Shortly after the AGM began, a flash mob of singers interrupted HSBC chairman Mark Tucker’s speech by singing a revised version of the Abba hit ‘Money, Money, Money’ (‘All the lives we could save, If they put all of their money into solar, wind and wave…’).
