At the start of the working day on Monday December 2nd, London Rising Tide carried out an environmental and social impact assessment of the London office of Environmental Resource Management (ERM). This took the form of an occupation of the office of ERM executive chairman Robin Bidwell, the handing out of questionnaires to employees on all the building's five floors, the hanging banners reading 'Oil makes war', 'ERM makes climate change' and 'No public money for BP's Baku-Ceyhan pipelines, and the setting up of a spoof website for company employees and others: www.erm-concerns.com

Three London Rising Tide-ers (LRT-ers) were barricaded into Bidwell's office until 3.30 that afternoon, issuing a single demand: that ERM's sever all links with BP, including stopping work on the Baku-Ceyhan pipelines. In the event, they came out voluntarily on the condition that they wouldn't be arrested, joining their friends on the street having been searched, filmed and had their names and other details taken.

This was the only ERM-focussed action of the day, contrary to references to actions outside London in the earlier press release.

This was London Rising Tide's second action against the proposed pipelines, the first being the Climate Criminals' Critical Mass, back in July this year. But it won't be the last. If you have a little or a lot of time and energy, and would like to get involved, email  shells@gn.apc.org, or ring the Oxford office, which acts as a networking point for UK Rising Tide groups: 01865 241097. London Rising Tide will be meeting on Thursday night, December 12th, venue to be confirmed.

A longer report will be posted before the end of the week. Would any other LRT-ers like to post up their thoughts as well?

Don't forget also this upcoming meeting:
THE BAKU-CEYHAN PIPELINE: A CASE STUDY IN THE NEW CORPORATE COLONIALISM

Thursday 5th December 7.30pm- 9.30 pm
St.Clements building, Room S75, London School of Economics, Claremarket St., off Aldwych;
