Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Thank you to everyone who turned out to support Maura & Shell to Sea, &, we hope, save Maura's life. If you couldn't be with us, please do all you can to persuade Allseas to take Solitaire away!
It was noted that the Norwegian Embassy had the grace to send someone to talk to our delegation & receive a vigil candle to represent Maura's life, a courtesy that we did not receive from the Irish Embassy.
Around 20 people took park in a solidarity vigil last night at Shell HQ in support of shell to sea hunger striker Maura Harrington.
Vigil continues this evening ...
Support Shell 2 Sea Hunger Striker ..!!
More from Monday's actions at Allseas office and the Irish embassy.
All(seas) is revealed!

Many thanks to our London and UK Shell to Sea friends, who have proven over the last few years to be steadfast, brave and resourceful as they help us here in Ireland prosecute the struggle against Shell and the state. The international pressure on Shell, Allseas Group SA and the Irish government is particularly valuable since this circumvents the media control operation Shell and the government have going in Ireland. International pressure on these corporations and institutions may end the state of denial, and force the media here finally to have a half-way honest 'debate' on why Erris was singled out for destruction by Big Oil and the government, and how and why the Great Gas Robbery happened in the first place. We might even get so far as the naming of a few guilty men...
Once again, thanks!
The London cops have been genteel compared to the Garda Siochana!
This last set were taken outside the Norwegian embassy, where a member of staff agreed to meet the group, listened, and accepted a lighted candle and leaflet with good grace.
The fragile flame
Excavations. Wonder what they're for...
... ah, a gas pipe!
We had a great night and day of peaceful protest here on the streets of London. Ridiculous amounts of Shell security and Metropolitian police outside Shell hq. for our 9 hour candle lit vigil.
It started at 12 midnight at Shell hq by lighting a candle to mark Maura's 6th day of hunger strike and also her birthday.
Onto Allseas{ the cowards} and then the Irish Embassy who have been refusing to see us for days now but we showed them up yesterday.
The Norwegians {who are profiting from Mayo gas} opened the door and listened to us.
We handed the candle in and explained that the greatest gift we could to give Maura Harrington on this her birthday was the rest of her life back. We asked them to ask the Solitaire to pull out of Irish waters.
Thanks to the Met cop outside Irish Embassy on that tip about future protests / the events organiser at Charing Cross Police Station/ and dealing with the embassy. We'll be back.
Great day Sam all your hard work was appreciated.
Fair play to ye all, thanks a million!
Well done folks,keep the pressure on we need to make the bastards squirm!
