Some local people at the huge, amazing protest performance at the British Museum last Saturday, staged by activists from different climate groups, to protest at the BP sponsorship of BM special exhibitions, and timed to coincide with the Troy exhibition being held at the moment. A huge Trojan horse was smuggled into the forecourt by a side gate, and some protesters were allowed by Museum staff to sleep in its belly the night before the demonstration.
Blink and you would have missed the coverage in print and broadcast media - apart, curiously, from Sky News, which presented a very good account of it (see local residents singing at the end of the film):

Staff at the British Museum who are members of the PCS union have now picked up the baton demanding, since the demonstration, that the BP sponsorship of the BM should cease.
