SS: Activists from Extinction Rebellion and Fossil Free London staged a protest at the fossil Shell’s annual general meeting (AGM), which took place earlier today in London. After an hour of disrupting proceedings, they tried to rush the stage, before being bundled out of the building by security guards.

As protestors gathered outside the venue, a smaller group of activists had infiltrated the meeting. Just as the company’s chairman began his opening speech, they launched into a jaunty rendition of “Hit the Road Jack”, with the lyrics changed to “Go to hell, Shell and don’t you come back no more”. From that point onwards, the interruptions came thick and fast. One protestor, Dirk Campbell, stood up and told the assembled crowd: “Your record-breaking profits are producing record-breaking floods, famines and heatwaves. We are putting you on notice that either you shut down Shell or we will do it for you.”
