A rather controversial way to attract attention to their problems was chosen by the protesters who gathered almost fully naked at different metro stations in London, UK.
Dozens of young and naked people paraded at central tube stations to protest against hidden bank charges. The commuters were stunned with the multiple flashmob all over the city as daring campaigners stripped down to their bras and pants.
The protesters were seen at Liverpool Street Station, Angel, Farringdon and Kings Cross Square. Luckily for them, it was one of the hottest day of the year in Great Britain. The action was organised as part of the TransferWise ‘Nothing2Hide’ campaign which aims to raise awareness about hidden bank charges. Its co-founder, Taavet Hinrikus said,
“Banking needs to be shaken up – today we kick off our campaign to stamp out hidden fees and make the world of international money transfers a fairer place. Raising awareness is an essential step in arming consumers with all the information they need to make informed choices about how to transfer their money abroad without getting ripped-off.”
Passers-by took to Twitter and Facebook to express their shock as they posted pictures of the semi-naked flashmob members who were strolling along the streets of the British capital.
