A dozen or so protesters braved the cold, the sun, and stroppy Tesco managers to draw attention to the increasing use of biofuels that wreck the environment and drive up food prices, most often in the developing world. The protest came at the end of a week of action called by biofuelwatch.org.uk.
Police were in attendance, but soon left, leaving Tesco staff so concerned about protester's safety that they repeatedly threatened to call the police when they stepped onto the forecourt. They finally got so fed up that just as we were about to leave they asked us to leave, in the process delaying our departure.
