Temporary suspension of all GBP Deposits via Barclays

TOKYO - JAPAN - September 25, 2012   It is with regret that we have to inform our British users that you will no longer be able to deposit British Pounds (GBP) to our Barclays bank account from now on.  While we have not yet been formerly contacted by Barclays or any of its representatives, we are as for today, unable to accept any GBP deposits into our Barclays account. Rest assure that we are doing our best to get to the bottom of this situation as well as being able to resolve this matter one way or another with Barclays or via other British and/ or European Banks.  Meanwhile, please note that you can still use our Polish EUR Bank account for both Deposits and Withdrawals as well as our Japanese GBP account for deposits and withdrawals (additional fees may apply).  On Behalf of the entire Mt.Gox team, please accept our apologizes for any inconvenience this temporary suspension of GBP deposits may have caused. 
Regards
Mt.Gox Co. Ltd Team.

Maybe related to this? Barclays got fed up with the account...broken their TOS?

That would mean that established banks are starting to see bitcoin as a serious threat to their business... I'm not sure if the current trade volumes support this (?).

Then they must have missed the memo about bitcoins being purchased through Barclay's Pingit, a service from Blockchain.info/wallet.
