Activists douse themselves in fake oil in protest outside city Barclays branch CLIMATE activists were spotted doused in fake oil yesterday afternoon outside a city Barclays branch. The duo, protesting on behalf of Extinction Rebellion, brought along a model of Earth in their efforts to represent the damage that Barclays investments are having on the planet. It is the second time that campaigners have staged the demonstration, after the Climate Crime Scene group performed at the Argyle Street branch on April 1 - which was Earth Day 2021. The group argue that Barclays invests more in fossil fuels than any other European Bank. It also claims that the bank invests three times more in fossil fuels than the sum of all other investments it labels as green .
