Slightly off topic, but still regarding Barclay's Bank.
In the 70's and 80's it was the only one, of the then four major UK clearing banks, that had commercial links and interests with the the then apartheid government of South Africa. No student worth their liberal salt banked with them. With a student population of 25,000 students, there was apparently not one student account with Barclays in Liverpool, but then again we were pretty much right on, and also wouldn't dream of buying Del Monte tinned fruit for the same reason.
Incidentally Barclays did pull out of South Africa in 1986, after much international protest, and loss of business
