at just after midday on friday 30th sept, activists arrived outside the shell centre entrance on the south bank in a seven and a half ton lorry and dumped a large mound of sand and turf infront of baffled security guards. the activists topped off their creation with placards bearing the slogans "shell hell - keep out" and "shell - environmental terrorists" before driving off. banners were raised infront of the building, a small but noisy samba band appeared, a megaphone man and flier distributers informed passers-by of the reasons for the action.

the 4 minute video is available in low quality and higher quality versions (1.4Mb and 10Mb respectively) for modem and broadband users
nb - indymedia mistakenly deleted a previous post where the two versions were posted seperately - i assume this was because they thought it was a doubled up contribution, as the titles and content were very similar
