A protest will be held outside the Eton College AGM to demonstrate our strong feelings about the privileged elite that runs this country, and its most important school. At the time of writing this, there are rumours that the College has cancelled its AGM owing to "public order concerns". This may or may not be true, but the demo will go ahead regardless. We will meet at St Paul's at 6.30pm, and have a short walk to Withers, 16 Old Bailey.

Some background on Withers, the law firm in whose offices Eton will hold their AGM.

They are the subject of an enquiry by the Speaker of the House of Commons, concerning allegations of witness intimidation.

The FBI are also investigating allegations that they are involved in international organised crime, along with others involved in the Carroll Trust.

They specialise in international tax avoidance, and doubtless are not entirely uninformed about matters relating to money laundering.
