Motor Show

Brrrrm, brrrrm; it’s that time of year again to promote mass destruction of the planet through motor car use. On the 19th October, six people entered the Motor Show (London) undercover, and creatively disrupted the Global Motor Industry Conference. This was where all the top motor industry chiefs were gathered, cabinet minister Ian Laing, eventually had to be escorted out under police protection. On 25 October three people entered the show dropping banners on the display stands highlighting carmageddon. Other large demos within the show were prevented by a very large police presence who arrested people randomly. The final day on 29 October saw an action saying 'good riddance' for another year.
