BP: Angry protests expected at annual meeting
BP could face a wave of protesters and angry shareholders at its first annual general meeting since a disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13075151

(snip)
Fishermen from the US are set to be among protesters at the AGM in London.

(snip)
On top of shareholder ire over boardroom bonuses, some fishermen and women, whose livelihoods were affected by the oil spill on 20 April 2010, will be at the meeting as shareholders.

They will be joined by indigenous communities angry at BP's involvement in extracting tar sands - a heavily polluting form of oil - in Canada.

(snip)
Outside, a protest is set to be staged by environmentalists, with more planned over the next week across London.
