At 9pm this evening I saw this invasion by Greenpeace activists live on TV.
From what I saw, there was no effective security, and what security there was, seemed to be fooled by the invaders being female and dressed in evening gowns. They were apprehended by "security" but I dread to think what would have happened if they'd been wearing suicide vests. Being "dressed for the occasion" I had the impression that they simply outwitted the security who perhaps thought they were authorised to be there, and some time elapsed before I saw them being physically restrained, and removed. I'm surprised that entrance seemed to be so easy for what I expect would have been an all-ticket event. I didn't see any uniformed police on TV.
Weird.

It’s probably a good thing that Jo Brand isn’t a member of the forum...
Anyway, it has been covered in this thread:

They'd have had a job on hiding their suicide vests under their evening gowns, I'd have thought...
