BP or Not BP? activists bring a a Trojan Horse into the British Museum to protest at the institution’s continued support for BP

PROTESTERS in London walked a Trojan Horse into the British Museum today to protest at the institution’s continued support for BP.

Activists belonging to the pressure group BP or Not BP? walked the 13-foot-tall horse through the museum’s gates in protest at the sponsorship of its new exhibition about Troy by the oil company.

The National Galleries Scotland and the Royal Shakespeare Company no longer receive money from BP, which paid no corporation tax in Britain this year.
