BHP AGM Solidarity Demonstration

Westminster, London. Thu 19 Oct 2017



 One of the campaigners is interviewed for TV

 and performs one of his poems about the devastation caused by mining

 

 while others stand behind him with banners

 

 Protesters talk to people going to the QEII centre. THE BHP AGM is not the only event taking place there

 

 

 Another man walks past as campaigners apologise and move the Cerrejon villages out of his way

 and the huts representing the villages get thrown on the floor

 

 And they are again thrown on the floor, and

 replaced by the huge open-cast coal mine, BHP's Cerrejon mine

 

 'Where do the dispossed go? END Cerrejon coal NOW'

 'Is Life Worth A Dam?'

 A man in a feather headdress stands in front of the QEII where the BHP is being held with a placard:

 'Respect Amazon Future @planet2050'

SOS Colombia - children died - starvation, lack of water cuased by BHP Cerrejon coal mine - which supplies a third of the UK's coal
