An activist performance group marched into a bank to protest against climate change. Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping gospel choir stormed into a HSBC bank in Liverpool to launch a protest against the corporate giants. The demonstrators, originally from New York, are visiting banks across the UK to urge people to boycott corporate businesses. Police were called to the branch on Whitechapel Road as the group continued to perform inside the bank. During the demonstration, Reverend Billy said: "HSBC is the devil. I can feel their poison. It's coming into my body."
