Greenpeace Protesters use Moblog UK in Protest!

At 6am this morning 14 Greenpeace protesters climbed on top of the Admirality Arch in London forcing the closure of The Mall. The protesters then hung a huge banner accusing Tony Blair of 'trashing another rainforest'. Greenpeace are protesting at the government's use of illegally logged timber for the renovation of the cabinet office. Read more at BBC News here. In addition to this - I awoke this morning to find the Greenpeace protesters have set up a moblog at www.moblog.co.uk and have been posting photos and video footage live from their rooftop protest! What a great way to use moblogging technology! The image above is one of those taken by the protesters.
