Our aim is to inform the British Public of the events surrounding Northern Rock, and to drive up support for the Rock from depositors, borrowers, and investors alike. If we, the public, can change the perception and back them by depositing into NRK - we can rebuild trust and confidence into one of the UKs favourite mortgage lenders.Perhaps more importantly however, by backing Northern Rock - we can help restabilise the British financial system. Would you want what happened to Northern Rock to spread and effect your bank?Members: 400

The Government must nationalize the Northern Rock bank immediately and without compensation to protect the public interest and prevent the biggest rip-off of tax payers in the condtions of a buy out by wealthy speculators.Tax-payers' underwriting to save this bank was unprecedented. Tax-payers must now demand their right to command the company and directly defend their massive stake in this concern and to fend off speculators looking to hold the public purse to ransom.

There are a large number of smaller groups of 40 people or less which have mainly the same aims as well as some with tongue in cheek titles.
