Hi,

Hello.
Early this afternoon a group of people from Rising Tide went to the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square....and died. 7 corpses lay in the main corridor to the Portrait Award Exhibition.

Nonetheless, BPs association with a national institution such as the Portrait Gallery is another example of greenwash.

Hi,
This afternoon, after a successful action at the National Portrait Gallery, London Rising Tide met up with the Hands Off Iraqi Oil demo in Central London. The Pirates made there way on a treasure hunt, stopping off at some of the biggest Pirates and plunderers of all - BP and Shell.

hi there,
the meeting on the 14th will not be happening, because there are loads of good rom-coms on the telly.

see you on the 21st,
