DEMO AT LLOYDS TSB REGISTRARS

27/11/06
A visual and noisy protest was held outside of Lloyds TSB registrars in Worthing.

This is where all of QinetiQ's shares are adminstered, and Lloyds also manage QinetiQ's bank account.

With a 4m long banner reading "WWW.SAVETHEGOATS.COM", and another which stated that "THIS COMPANY PROFITS FROM ANIMAL TORTURE", no one could miss us. Add to that two megaphones and whistles and people came flocking to see what we were up to.

Literally hundreds of leaflets were distributed to passers-by, employees, customers and students from the nearby college, and the support was great.

Most employees took leaflets into the building with them, and several said they had passed them round to their colleagues. The noise brought people to the windows, even on the top floor of the huge office block.

The local paper sent down a photographer to cover the event.
