Even more financial demos in the City of London

We started our day at a Barclays in Kings Street right in the heart of the city of London. We handed out loads of leaflets and our megaphones informed the whole area why we were there and why HLS and Barclays should be avoided at all costs.

We then moved onto AXA Investments, AXA have been investing in the NYSE, a company that allows HLS LSR to list on it's exchange, without the NYSE exchange HLS would find it difficult to exist. AXA as a major shareholder in the NYSE you have the ability to have them kicked off the NYSE exchange. They are already in breach of the regulations that govern their listing. You know it makes sense finish them for good.

Then onto a great site near St Pauls Cathedral, Barclays Private Equity, Condour House, 5-10 St Pauls Churchyard, City of London, EC4M 8AL. This is a wonderful place for a demo especially if you have loads of megaphones. Thousands of tourists pass by and we gave out hundreds of leaflets. The security decided to lock the entire building and only allow people through their service garage door at the back. Watching all those "top" city foke entering through a garage door was extremely funny. It was our first visit to this location, but as it is so good we're sure we will be back.

Last up was our longest demo of the day, Bank of New York Mellon, Queen Victoria Street, EC4V 4LA, these guys are major shareholders in both HLS and the NYSE. So they are now a top SHAC target in the City. We stayed for nearly 2 hours watching all their staff going home. We received great support from their staff and passers by. BNY Mellon you're a top target and we are going to be camped outside your offices even more in the future if you continue to allow people to hold LSR shares in your name, or allow HLS to be listed on the NYSE. We like BNY Mellon so much we made sure they knew we were coming back 8.30am sharp the next morning.

Good day in the City the tempo is certainly increasing with more City demos than ever. LSR/HLS supporters we are going to be on your doorsteps day after day. Be sure of that.
