Closed Bring Back The Bradbury

Closed on

On the 7th August 1914, in order to avoid a run on the banks, the Treasury issued Treasury Notes signed by John Bradbury - a form of national credit backed only by the credit of the nation.

We demand that the Treasury immediately restarts issuing such interest-free money through Her Majesty's Treasury. Based on the wealth, integrity and potential of our country, such an initiative would completely remove the hold the banks have over the nation, and would kickstart a productive economy.
