You may already have read in the press or received our e-mail about the Bank of Scotland’s decision to loan 4.5 million pounds to Remnant Productions to buy part of Richard Desmond’s pornographic empire. The loan helped meet the purchase price of 45 pornographic magazines from Mr.Desmond including Asian Babes, Barely Legal and Sixty Plus.
The Bank of Scotland’s own ‘Equality and Diversity’ strategy calls for its business to be underpinned by “social, moral and political” factors. Clearly the Bank of Scotland’s principles are negotiable. They also ignore the awful reality that the commercial production of pornography depends on the exploitation of women and children.

Pornography has effectively turns people onto commodities, has stolen and contaminated intimacy and is a danger to society.

I support this petition. I think one of the titles 'Barely Legal' says it all. This industry glorifies and endorses paeodophilia amongst many other things. It's sickening.

I didn't expect this from a Bank that seemed serious and responsible like the Bank of Scotland.

You people need to relax. Porn is a huge industry that could buy you, and the women wouldn't do it if they felt "exploited" or weren't paid enough. Porn serves one purpose. Those who buy it want to see women having sex, not teaching a graduate school course on quantum physics. And what's this child abuse thing? To be in commercially produced porn you MUST be at least 18 years of age when you make it i.e. ADULT. They're especially cautious because of the old Traci Lords fiasco.

No financial aid should be given to this industry. It should be banned before the UK turns into a nation that brings children up with porn.

i agree,on bbc1 yesterday at 9am there was a programme all about the porn industry which said porn had become mainstream which sickened me,but as the programme was going out at that time when small children are watching it seems sad but true,im increasiongly being made to feel like a prude because im against pornography although im broadminded,i object to how women are shown as brainless sexobjects not living breathing women with valid opinions-i hope this hits the bank hard and they have to grovel. good luck!

It is very disappointing that what would appear to be a respected organisation could consider this acceptable; major Scottish institutions have the opportunity of setting an example of investment practice which benefits investors and legitimate business. This cynically promotes money making activities which depend on degrading and exploiting women and, indeed, men who read such magazines.

They should be ashamed of themselves to support the objectification of women. I have closed my account.
