A group of protestors today set up a fake casino at a Barclays branch in Camden, claiming to be from Barclays PR.

A little birdie told us the stunt was by the people from Don’t Panic mag, which have done a range of political stunts for camera.

Update: I’m informed the stunt was actually for an upcoming television Series called ‘The Revolution Will Be Televised’.

It will air on BBC3 in the summer

One of those who took part in the stunt – Heydon Prowse from Don’t Panic Mag – was dressed as a casino croupier.

They were reportedly asked to leave by Barclays Camden staff, but didn’t so quickly.
