“£ 212k of damage”… For some paint and a window?
Barclays is bad at negotiating with repairers, or is taking a cut.
That’s the quote they gave to their insurance company
There are lots of ways to manage your money. And if they’re paying that much for repairs then I’d find someone else to manage your money.
That looks like a historic town centre building so the cost is likely for replacing the blocks with identical sandstone pieces in line with historic conservation laws. I suspect the paint won’t just clean off.
They’ve got plenty of money though.
Not replacing but restoration work involves studies of the materials to choose the right chemicals, meticulous cleaning (sometimes with a toothbrush) and even repainting with the exact color match which again involves studies, sometimes it goes as far as taking samples and running chromatography on them.

Trashy America-style sentencing
Corrupt judges need consequences
Wish it was just corrupt judges. But this is coming from most of the poltiical class
In fac, the judges might be true, but believe they have no alternative to following corrupt rules set by politicians.
If IDENTIFYING as a Palestine Action Activist gets you MORE time in Jail then MURDER it’ll DETER people from being Activists! That’s the ONLY thing that’ll Happen!
That’s the ONLY thing that’ll Happen!
For those that can’t seem to make 2+2=4…
If you get more time for using pray paint than murder… Might as well just murder instead of using spray paint.
That’s the idea
Well, we’re fucked when real terrorists come along. Probably fully half of these supposed pro-palestine terror cells are undercover Special Branch trying to stir up vandalism so they can drum up some arrests anyway.
I remember the spycops trial.
In 2023, climate activists from Extinction Rebellion staged a similar protest against Barclays, breaking windows at the bank’s Canary Wharf headquarters and causing £500k worth of damage. But they were never treated as terrorists and avoided jail.
huh.
Different government, possibly different rules for prosecutors, or maybe even laws?
Curious how corporations can get a lot of stuff done for very cheap, practically free sometimes. But when it’s time to ‘calculate damages’, all of a sudden they take the borderline scam options that they would have never used. In addition to multiplying the end sum by 4 for good measure, of course.
Terrorist is the new communist
150 years of civil disobedience celebrated in the UK but as soon as Zionist supremacy is challenged its all terrorism.
