London

Today after the Public Hearing (People vs. Corporations),
an impromptu action took place. Since the Nuffield Institute (? or is it Council?) issued their report saying that GM could have a useful place in world health etc, the whole meeting decamped from Friends House and to the Nuffield office in the West End, occupying the whole of a 4-lane carriageway into the bargain.

When there many Indian farmers and others occupied the office and had a long dialogue while noise was made and banners hung up outside. Didn't see the end, but all in all a real taste of 'the united colours of resistance', UK activists trying out Indian anti-WTO slogans and Indian farmers giving it a bit of ye olde RTS.
