Activists in Cardiff shut down an Esso petrol station on Saturday. A number of groups/organisations were represented - the WOMBLES, Cardiff Critical Mass, People and Planet and others.

The group were supporting Greenpeace’s ‘Stop Esso’ campaign. The group also felt that during this time of war, it was important that Bush and Blair’s agenda should not be followed. A flyer handed out during the action stated

“E$$O, the Republicans, Afghanistan, it’s all linked.”

“Its great that so many different groups are here. I feel it is important that actions such as this continue at the same time as the anti-war effort. Green issues haven’t gone away, Esso are still destroying our planet” an activist at the action stated.
