Savor it:

When 35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) yesterday they had planned the operation in great detail. What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement.

..."They followed the guys into the lobby and kept kicking and punching them there. They literally kicked them on to the pavement." Last night Greenpeace said two protesters were in hospital, one with a suspected broken jaw, the other with concussion.

It seems not all city gents are frightened by mobs of gangly, Junior Woodchuck hippies. For those who were inspired to join Greenpeace from U2 album liner notes: subscribe to the band's fanzine instead.

WITH APOLOGIES: Carl Barks aficionados impel me to give the real Junior Woodchucks their due.
