Here's a report from a London Rising Tider with a single Shell share, who went into its Annual General Meeting, while others quietly infiltrated the hotel or stayed outside to leaflet and chat to shareholders and passers-by. The main meeting took place in The Hague, with a video feed to London, or the Novotel Hammersmith, to be precise. Keep an eye on Indymedia for reports of how others got on outside...

The 28th Annual Arts & Business Awards gala ceremony was held at the (BP-sponsored) Barbican Centre in London on Monday April 3rd 2006. It consisted of free drinks, schmoozing, mutual pat-on-the-backs concerning the 21st Century snake oil that is 'Corporate Social Responsibility', followed by an vain attempt to raise the tone with a performance by the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO).
The Greenwish Guerrillas struck again yesterday at the opening of the BP-sponsored ‘Michelangelo Drawings - Closer to the Master’ exhibition.
This is what the poster for the exhibition became after it had spent a few hurried moments in the hands of the Greenwash Guerillas' (very) ad hoc design department.
A small dedicated (hard core!) group of Sheffield (www.nowideningm1.org.uk) hit 3 Motor way bridges between junctions 30 and 32 of the M1 early this morning...
