LAND ROVER AD AGENCY OCCUPIED BY LONDON RISING TIDE ON FOSSIL FOOLS DAY

Activists from climate justice direct action group London Rising Tide
(LRT) have occupied the offices of Y&R, the ad agency behind the
current Land Rover campaign, and a new campaign for arms giant BAe Systems.

This is one of many actions taking place worldwide on Fossil Fools Day,
a day of action called by the Rising Tide network. Outside the office,
climate street theatre is also underway.

London Rising Tide played a spoof game of football outside the Football Association's headquarters in Soho Square with a coal ball, demanding that the FA end their sponsorship deal with E-ON.

At closing time today London Rising Tide played a spoof game of football
outside the Football Association's headquarters in Soho Square with a coal ball, scoring own-goals and with the slogans 'Climate FU Cup' and 'E-ON: No new coal' emblazoned on their football shirts. On the backs of their shirts were the names of the proposed new coal-fired power stations.

In the run up to the April 1st Fossil Fools Day of Action, on Saturday 29th of March, Housmans Bookshop at Kings Cross will be screening 2 short docs that highlight the struggle of communities at the frontline of the fossil fuel empire.

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.

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.

hi there,
the meeting on the 14th will not be happening, because there are loads of good rom-coms on the telly.

see you on the 21st,
