BIS protest against CETA & TTIP

Dept of Business (BIS) Westminster, London. Mon 16 May 2016

  

 
 The protesters build a small booth on the pavement outside BIS

Jean Lambert, MEP has come to talk about CETA, TTIP and the failure of the UK government to provide the TTIP reading room for MPs that it promised

 'You can't polish a turd - TTIP is crap, so Dump It!'

 Linda Kaucher, StopTTIP and John Hamilton, Lewisham People Before Profit are stopped as they try to deliver a letter

 John Hamilton, Lewisham People Before Profit

 

 London Green MEP Jean Lambert

 

 

 

 
 
Lord Price, Minister for Trade wouldn't come down to meet the protesters and collect his letter, but sent a civil servant 

who chatted in a friendly manner while revealing nothing and took the letter away 

Linda Kaucher, StopTTIP, speaking 

 

 

 

The security men didn't notice two posters taked to the wall and a column 

 

but did see when the protesters put a banner across the exit 

 

and soon came out to complain. JOhn Hamilton agreed to move it just down the street 

and did so 

but security came out to complain again as it was attached around the pillars  

John told him not to worry, it would not be there long, but that didn't satisfy security, who talked about calling the police 

who didn't come 

the protesters moved it for a final photograph with most of their group outside the BIS notice
