Up Front: Blood Banks

UK high street banks have come under fire for their role in causing the economic meltdown. But the lack of regulation which led to the current crisis is also behind an even deadlier scandal.
For years UK high street banks have been funding the arms trade, a lethal business which fuels conflict around the world, including Israel's latest assault on Gaza. The arms industry profits directly from war, and provides the weapons which kill civilians and undermine development in the world's poorest countries.
War on Want is campaigning to end the UK banking sector's complicity in the arms trade. With UK taxpayers now a majority shareholder in high street banks, there has never been a better time to stop this destructive practice once and for all.
