(Scotsman)- A CLIMATE change protester managed to breach security at the headquarters of the Royal Bank of Scotland by making an appointment to speak to an adviser and then glued herself to a desk.
The woman dressed in bank worker-style clothes to avoid detection by police and bank security guards before the stunt yesterday.
An hour later, shortly before noon, up to 150 protesters managed to get past security guards and into the bank’s grounds at Gogarburn.
They danced round the perimeter of the building while music blared out from a sound system mounted on a bike.
…Dan Glass, a member of the camp’s media team, said: “I think the protests today, especially the woman’s actions, have been brilliant. They were a strong and legitimate form of protest aimed at stopping a higher crime – that of RBS’s role in financing fims who are destroying the environment.
Mr Glass added: “RBS themselves at Gogarburn have been quite nice to us providing things like water but we are not going to be fooled by their nicey-nicey attitude.”
