Having attended a very emotional meeting about corporate citizenship the delegates returned to the lobby to find a stall by corporate criminals BP (Beyond Parody). No mention was made of the companies latest project Baku-Ceyhan, which will cause massive ecological destruction, resistance to which has already been violently oppressed. Manchesters conscious delegates sought to balance out the solar adverts on display by covering the stall (and the stall holders) in several bottles of fake blood. With all the green wash execs chatting to suited-up NGO representatives, its getting harder and harder to tell who's who. Hope its a bit clearer now....

It was in solidarity too with the people of West Papua who's lives are being destroyed by BP.
