Activists die in the National Portrait Gallery over association with BP(23-02-08)Hello.

Early this afternoon a group of people from Rising Tide went to the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square....and died. 7 corpses lay in the main corridor to the Portrait Award Exhibition. Maybe the died when the realised that BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery was not currently on. Nonetheless, BPs association with a national institution such as the Portrait Gallery is another example of greenwash.

Rising Tide come out to support the Hands Off Iraqi Oil demo (23-02-08)

Hi,
This afternoon, after a successful action at the National Portrait Gallery, London Rising Tide met up with the Hands Off Iraqi Oil demo in Central London. The Pirates made there way on a treasure hunt, stopping off at some of the biggest Pirates and plunderers of all - BP and Shell.

The theme worked well, with some people dressed as oil, and everybody was armed with a patch, parrot or saber. Very few landlubbers showed up. Good times were had, along with much plundering and swaggering.
