Twenty protesters, wearing fat cat suits/ties et al and pig masks, sat around a banquet of food to represent corporate greed. Loads of food/wine/cigars etc. Handcuffed at their feet activists in white suits handcuffed to each other with map of developing/3rd world countries on suits and wearing skeleton/skeletal masks. Large banner behind read "STOP THE THIRD WORLD WAR" with Scottish Genetix Action name on banner too.
We were met by over 100 police in hired vans etc. They wouldn't let us outside the venue and promised to make arrests if we went back there. So alas we had to move up a bit, but still saw some delegates arriving and I'm sure they saw us.
Press coverage was amazing. I personally did interviews for BBC Scotland (shown on the afternoon and night show), Channel 4 (half hour interview for documentary Equinox - interviewed 3 members of SGA), got a clip of action on BBC National 9 O'Clock news, BBC Newsnight in Scotland, BBC Radio Scotland, Scot FM Radio, Radio Clyde, Sky News, Reuters, The Scotsman newspaper, Daily Record Newspaper, The Telegraph, The Independent, Herald, Evening Times, Edinburgh Evening News, Scottish Express, etc. etc. - enormous list.
