Global warming protestors Rising Tide brought traffic to a halt for almost an hour in London’s West End today.
Police photograph mermaids, etc.

Police do their bit for global warming

Police blockade wrong gallery
Leaflets were distributed. A slack jawed American tourist declined his, explaining “Why worry, I’ll be dead before this all happens”.
Well, no loss there then.
BP’s offices in St James got a good fifteen minute chorus of drumming, whistles and catcalls, as did The National Portrait Gallery, the venue for BP’s Portrait Awards, facilitated at first by police guarding the wrong bit.
“We love art, artists, and indeed the people who work in this building” said a protestor.
“We just don’t think BP should try and disguise their crimes by pretending they’re nice guys”.
