Man United legend calls bank protest

Eric Cantona's call for bank protest sparks online campaign

Thousands of French protesters have taken up the former Man United footballer's call for a mass cash withdrawal

Eric Cantona is calling on protesters against cutbacks and pension reforms in France to start a real revolution by mass bank withdrawals.

As students and public sector workers across Europe prepare for a winter of protests, they have been offered advice from the archetypal football rebel Eric Cantona.

Cantona, wearing a bright red jumper, dismissed protesters who take to the streets with placards and banners as passé. Instead, he said, they should create a social and economic revolution by taking their money out of their bank.

"This means that the three million people with their placards on the streets, they go to the bank and they withdraw their money and the banks collapse. Three million, 10 million people, and the banks collapse and there is no real threat. A real revolution.

this kinda action would actually work. The problem is that people are scum bags. Everyone would rob each other if a lotta people drew all of their money out of their accounts.
