IVA.co.uk and approx 100 protestors laid siege to the Office of Fair Trading today!
Campaigners against unfair bank charges were locked out of the office of fair trading (1st Dec)
1) A protest was held at 2pm on the 1st of December to demonstrate that the Government and OFT have failed to take action against banks and credit card providers who are unlawfully penalising their customers.
2) Around 100 protestors gathered to display their anger towards the OFT and Government.
3) Around 50 protesters attempted to enter the government building and were refused entry.
4) The OFT demanded to speak to only one representative and ended up locking the door on the protesters.
5) There were mounted police on hand to keep the protesters under control. Camera crews from press and television were also there to capture the tension as the crowd attempted to enter the building.
