Climate activists have thrown red paint on the entrance of Standard Chartered Plc’s building as part of a ‘blood money’ march protesting the City of London’s funding of the fossil-fuel industry.
Hundreds of protestors, who initially gathered outside the Bank of England, are outside the 10-floor building including two atop the building’s revolving doors. Part of the Guildhall, the administrative heart of the district, has also been defaced.
