[Gloucs] BBC iPlayer protest photos

[Andrew Oakley]

Mailing list lurker Nick White (hopefully attending next week's meeting) 
and I headed up to London today to take part in the BBC iPlayer Protest 
organised by the FSF.

As expected, BBC staff were seemingly under strict instructions not to 
give us any airtime, but we did get coverage on The Register (I got my 
photo on El Reg!) and BBC Backstage. We also handed out leaflets to a 
large number of either supportive or bemused (but mostly wishing to 
remain anonymous) BBC staff, including a several recognisable BBC News 
presenters. We also attracted a lot of attention from, and raised 
awareness amongst, BBC staffers eating lunch in the canteen, waving at 
us in our bright yellow haz-mat suits.

(Remind me, is it Dipsy or La La that is the yellow Tellytubby?)
