Ban Gail's Bakery from Winchester
A petition asking the Council to turn down or revoke planning permission for Gail's Bakery who wish to take over a retail space in Winchester High Street
Why is this important?
Gail’s Bakery has applied for planning permission to turn the former Russell & Bromley shoe shop into a café in Winchester. THAT IS VERY BAD NEWS.
As well as being another chain and losing yet another retail space to a café when we have 50-60 restaurants and cafes in Winchester, Gail’s would like you to believe they are a down-to-earth alternative to major high street chains, BUT Gail’s is majority-owned by Bain Capital, a global private equity firm that are a vocal supporter of Israel.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Bain’s venture capital arm invested over $150 million in Israeli tech and cyber-security companies in 2024 alone. Your £5 latte goes to their pockets!
