A Slick Protest

There were protests last week at the Tate (a British art gallery). A group calling itself  "Liberate Tate" poured an "oil like" substance over each other in a protest against BP's sponsorship of the Tate. Members feel that after the oil spill that covered much of the coastline of the southern states and buggered up the both the local ecology and local economy, it is wrong for BP to give money to worthy causes. It would appear that "Liberate Tate" members feel that BP shareholders have suffered enough, and rather than waste their money on art galleries, BP should keep the money to give to their shareholders - to help them maintain their luxury yachts and keep their penthouses fully staffed with maids, butlers, etc.
