A dinosaur with the message 'Business as Usual'
Protesters shout ...
and sit down...
and jump up.
Protesters march around the corner to Wogan House and are held by
police. One managed to superglue himself to the door
and I watche a second superglue herself to the steps at the feet of
the police
others banged on the posters on the wall
'Glued - Do Not Move'
Most went back to the front of Broadcasting House
where the protest continued
Several young protesters contributed to the protest, with 11 year-old
Scarlett Brady Hughes making an impressive speech
and a young singer with a great voice singing a song whe had written
that morning specially for the event
A speaker from the All African Women's Group
and a reindeer in the crowd
A banner urges the BBC to be 'Impartial, Independent, Honest' and
to tell the truth that 'Climate Breakdown Kills'
'At the side entrance the sit down was continued by Dharma Action
Network in front of a banner
'Public Service Announcement: Climate Emergency'
Police sturggle with people holding a banner to let BBC staff back
into the plaza after lunch
Outside Wogan House, two protesters are still superglued on, one to
the steps
and the other to the glass on the door
while other protesters drum and dance
