Campaigners across Britain took action today against the rip-off of Iraq’s oil wealth by powerful oil corporations.

Protests took place at BP and Shell garages in 25 cities, plus a ‘Pirate Tour’ in London, visiting the main players in the Iraq oil privatisation push.

There were also 4 protests in the USA, and one in the Netherlands.
