Petroseige in effect!

The occupation was in solidarity with the people of Rossport, County Mayo, Ireland, who are resisting Shell's destructive influence, and all those experiencing repression at the hands of this brutal multinational oil company.
It is also meant as a warm up action for the Crude Awakening event coming up in London on the 16th October.
On Sunday evening, he occupation the garage hit it's 24th hour. Activists called for people to head down to a Party at the Pumps!
Activists displayed numerous banners from the roof and covered up the "S" in Shell to show people who they really are!
They stopped drivers from using the pumps by blockading the entrance, puring red paint on one of the pumps and pressing the pump shut off valve.
