ACTIVISTS targeted oil giant Shell’s AGM today as the company rack up record profits off the back of the climate crisis while millions in Britain suffer fuel poverty.

The action, organised by Fossil Free London (FFL) and Extinction Rebellion (XR), caused delays of over an hour as they organised back-to-back disruptions.

It began when one protester immediately interrupted the meeting in east London chanting: “Shut down Shell.”
