Bournemouth Barclays bank bricked up in loans protest

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-11417204

I know I shouldn't laugh.
Quote:
A developer bricked up the front of a bank in Dorset in protest at the lack of credit available for small firms.
Cameron Hope said he had been refused £240,000 in loans and getting credit was like "talking to a brick wall".
He and other protesters built the wall at Barclays in Westbourne on Sunday, after plans to target NatWest were thwarted. It was quickly taken down.
I'm wondering what other exasperated bank customers will be doing to make their point felt..

I always thought that this disgruntled farmer had nailed in the the Poetic Justice department.

Cannon, who is suing NatWest through the civil courts, alleging negligence over the handling of his affairs, said after yesterday's hearing: "I have no regrets about what I did. After all, they dropped me in the ****.

Oops, sorry about triggering the swearing filter

Re: Bournemouth Barclays bank bricked up in loans protest

Giving a loan of £240,000 to a property developer seems a safe bet.

"His protest was apparently triggered by a business loan quote provided by a competitor."
So was it an outright no or just on terms he didn't like?
