On the 16th October around 40 individuals shut down the Bauer Millettes hummer dealership in Manchester town centre. The eco-activists headed down to the SUV garage in various states of attire to highlight the link between our unseasonably warm weather and the emissions of the polluting 11 miles per gallon SUVs.
A banner saying “Stop urban 4x4s” was dropped from the tram bridge overhead. Several others entered the forecourt and attached themselves to the front of vehicles, one lay covered in fake blood a casualty of the killer hummer. The other activists dressed as clown soldiers, pixies, a gas-masked bride, Tony Blair, a skeleton, Marylin Monroe with a half burnt American flag, the yuppies and various generically-modified hippies infiltrated the garage then bounced around the £50K+ luxury soft tops and SUVS.
