‘I passed through the toxic portals of the Shell AGM and lived to tell the tale’, 16.5.06

Skull(photo by George Osodi)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...

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 04/03/2006 - 00:00

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.
