Environmentalist Attempts to Glue Himself to British Prime Minister

(AGI) - London, July 23 - After receiving an award for commitment to the environment, an ecologist staged an unusual protest: Dan Glass, age 24, activist of the 'Plane Stupid' group, literally tried to glue himself to British prime minister Gordon Brown to criticise his climate policy. Glass, imitated to an official ceremony in 10 Downing Street, pulled out a tube of glue and tried to slue himself to Brown's suit. A lightning protest which lasted only seconds. Glass claimed that it was a "non-violent manifestation", aimed at reporting the conduct of authorities on climate issues, especially as concerns the construction of a third landing strip in Heathrow.
While Brown was shaking his hand the activist said that "you can even unglue my arm, but you cannot easily pull away from climate changes". 'Plane Stupid', a group established in 2005, levels protests against the aircraft industry, which it sees as "the main cause of climate change". Glass, who has a degree in Geography, is a university researcher and former student leader, joined in 18 months ago. Of jewish descent, his maternal grandparents survived the holocaust, and he claims that he is fighting for the values that they passed on to him.
After the odd incident he spent another 40 minutes in Downing Street. A government spokesperson jokingly stated that "nothing special happened, he only stuck for a few seconds". The prime minister actually burst out laughing. The man was not arrested, and no charges have been filed against him.
