The 14th-century Bodiam Castle served as the backdrop for Fossil Free London’s message to the National Trust. The group accused the National Trust of failing its mission to protect nature and heritage by maintaining ties with Barclays. In a statement directed at the organization, Fossil Free London declared: “@nationaltrust, as self-described guardians of nature and heritage, you are failing in your mission to protect it as long as you keep banking on Barclays – funders of bombs and big oil.”
