Cantona's call for revolution prompts about a dozen

Back in October, Manchester United legend Eric Cantona issued an impassioned call (or, at slightest a accidentally furious recommendation) for people to begin a revolution(!) by pulling their income out of a hurtful as well as unwell banks all at once. "What does it meant to be upon a street? What does it meant to demonstrate?" he asked, capable of kicking his interviewer in a face at any moment. "We don't pick up weapons, to kill people, to begin a revolution. The series is unequivocally easy to do nowadays," he reasoned.

Since everyone takes their revolutionary financial recommendation from retired footballers as well as it's oh-so-easy to do, just how many people did follow through upon Cantona's plan to bring down a banks?

About a dozen. From a AP:

A small organisation of activists in Paris emptied their bank accountsTuesday after a call by French soccer icon Eric Cantona to criticism practices byleading banks as well as bailouts.

It did not crop up to prompt a outrageous bank runs that a little Internet-basedanti-capitalist groups had hoped for, however, as well as bankers as well as a little economistswarned opposite heeding a call. Cantona has also come in for criticism. [...]

About a dozen people marched in costumes Tuesday in Paris as well as withdrew moneyfrom a bend of Societe Generale. They then opened accounts with a nearbybranch of Credit Cooperatif bank, considered some-more ethically responsible becauseit pledges not to have any subsidiaries in taxation havens.

No word upon whether Cantona himself essentially pulled all of his income out of a bank, but what kind of world do we live in where some-more than a dozen anarchists, anti-capitalists, as well as other activitists can't be worried to spark a revolution(!) by merely making a withdrawal from a bank?
