Shell pauses London AGM as protesters chant ‘We will stop you’
Shell has paused its annual general meeting in London after it was interrupted by environmental protesters chanting: “We will stop you.”
Climate protesters told the oil and gas company’s board: “We will expose you. We know who you are. We know what you have done. We will remember.”
They repeatedly chanted “Shell must fall” and accused the board of spending “more money on green advertising than green technology”.
Protesters shouted “shame on you” at the assembled executives at Central Hall in Westminster. The Shell chairman, Sir Andrew Mackenzie, became increasingly exasperated as he asked for quiet and was forced to formally pause the meeting after 40 minutes as it was continuously interrupted.
