Here's the text of the leaflet handed to passers-by, motorists and the deluded folk who think that buying sandwiches at petrol stations is kind of OK. (Actually they make more money from the shop than the petrol,
which is a messed up sort of loss-leader...)

DO YOU WANT ANOTHER WAR FOR OIL?

("We have let it be known that the thing we would like to make sure, if Iraq changes regime, is that there should be
a level playing field for the selection of oil companies to go in there if they're needed to do the work there."
John Browne, Chief Executive, BP)

Today we are joining people around the world who are protesting against our dependence on oil. In the US alone there are over three hundred demonstrations outside petrol stations. Here in London we (London Rising Tide) are saying 'no' to BP's Burning Planet, (not to mention its Bullshit Propaganda!)

The corruption of the oil economy makes us support the dictatorships which keep supplying us (Saudi Arabia, Burma, Nigeria, Kuwait) and bomb those that become unreliable (Iraq, Iran, Libya). Around the world people who challenge the oil economy are imprisoned, tortured and assassinated. Oil creates pollution at all levels of production - at the wellhead, along the pipeline, at the refinery and from its shipping. When the oil is burnt it poisons our air and feeds the catastrophic climate change that threatens all our futures.

…there's no such thing as a good - or green - oil company!…

Why not target petrol stations on February 15 when there will be tens of thousands of protesters in London and Glasgow. Instead of just having another A to B march lets have several interactive protests that will really empower people. Already there is the mass sit down protest at Piccadilly Circus after the main demo but why stop at that lets make February the 15th a whole day of anti-war actions going on late into the evening!
