BP petrol stations in central London have been shut down by environmental activists.
Campaign group Greenpeace claimed it had shut off the fuel supplies to all stations in the area. The oil company said about 12 had been closed.
BP said activists stopped the flow of fuel by flipping safety switches, then removing them to prevent the petrol stations reopening.

Greenpeace said it wanted the company to adopt greener energy policies.
A BP spokesman said the petrol stations would be reopened as soon as it was safe to do so.
He described the stunt as "an irresponsible and childish act which is interfering with safety systems".

Greenpeace said the protest was being held to urge Bob Dudley, who will take over from outgoing BP chief executive Tony Hayward from October, to move away from "his predecessor's obsession with high-risk, environmentally-reckless sources of oil".

At one station in Camden, north London, Greenpeace climbers replaced BP's logo with a new version showing the green "sunflower" disappearing into a sea of oil.

Go Greenpeace!!!!

Twelve stations is more a nuisance than a powerful statement Was this a local action? Surely an international organization famous for major demonstrations can do more than irritate a few local petrol station owners?

Has there been call for a true boycott of BP? No one in our community is going to the BP station any more, and I know I never go there, but I don't think it's a formal thing. Wouldn't that be more effective-- encourage an international boycott.

publicity and donations, but don't solve the problem.

It's what Greenpeace does best.

Regardless of how you feel about BP, you can't just shut a business down, and tamper with saftey switches.

Or ignoring warning systems, and employees? And then causing an immense oil spill?

That's why so many BP executives are in gaol right now..

Oh, wait...

But I think they are planning to be or are at least considering the possibility that they will be arrested.
