We smashed the banks – no, really, we did.
Some of SSY’s roving reporters are back to civilisation to give YOU all the latest news from climate camp…
After an epic amount of pushing, we stormed RBS headquarters this afternoon. Delicious molasses bombs were thrown, windows were smashed and there was a lot of scuffling with the police. Bear in mind that today was Sunday, and the bank wasn’t even open…! Who knows what’s on the agenda for the rest of the working week…
Most of the SSY delegation are still pitched up in the RBS back garden and will be until the end of the camp – stay tuned for a full climate camp analysis and review in a few days…
Some brilliant photos of the battle of the bridge here: http://www.minimouse.me.uk/rbs/five/source/rbs_site_incursion_4_6404.html
Hell yeah. You guys did goooood! <3
I’m not quite sure I’d call panning the windows of a bank HQ smashing the banks, oh well….
Here’s a couple of good wee videos as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwB_dhF6BI – a dance party invasion on the Friday, before the cops decided to start putting the boot in.
See if you can spot any familiar faces!
Here’s another album of photos of Sunday’s battle of the bridge: http://jwarren.co.uk/photos/climate-camp-2010/rbs-smash-windows/
How many SSY members can you spot?
In today’s news, look what’s on the move… http://tweetphoto.com/40898219
Where did yis all get the white suits? Great shapers in the dance invasion video!
People were giving the suits and masks out to everyone, I don’t know where they came from!
