Another Manchester anti-WTO action

? | 12.11.2001 16:32

Another day, another anti-WTO action!
Manchester activists rearrange the filing of another corporation who entirely deserve it...

Well, we couldn't make it to Qatar, but we did make it into the offices of Price Waterhouse Coopers.
THey're a global accountancy firm with their fingers in numerous corporate nasty pies, including being part of a lobbying group involved in the creation of the WTO
(text of leaflet will be posted later with more detailed info about this bunch of scumbags....)
Half our group went into the foyer and began playing samba and distributing leaflets, rapidly attracting the attention of the secuity guards.
Other people dreesed in suits climbed over the security barrier and into the lifts (without security even noticing) and proceeded to the sixth floor to rearrange their filing and hide their keys leaving sheets with information about the company's dodgy dealings in places where they won't be found for a while.
many of those working in the office were temps and some were sympathetic, agreeing that their employers are a bunch of bastards.
It took the security guards downstairs a while to realise that there were other protestors in the building, they thought it was very clever how they had the samba players encircled, allowing lots of re-filing to be done in the meantime!
