BBC Building Scaled

On Oct 12th, a group went to the BBC on Oxford Rd, Manchester to protest media mis-information about the ‘war’ in Afghanistan. Four people climbed onto the roof with the aid of a long ladder and hung “Blair’s Broadcasting Corruption”, from the three flagpoles. Other banners hung included “Destroy Imperialism not Afghanistan”, “Truth - the first casualty of war” and “Stop Warmongering Scum Corporate Media”.

Despite a struggle with police and security on the roof they managed to stay and secure the ladder for later escape. Below 800 leaflets were distributed whilst a Samba band played.
