Ironmongers' Hall, London. Mon 3 Aug 2015

  

 
 Protesters arrive outside the pedestrian entrance to the hall, next to the Museum of London

 A security man suggests they move away from the entrance in Shaftesbury Place, but protesters don't agree

 Some of the placards were bi-lingual

 'Frack Off! Cairn Lanka & Cairn Energy' - both are Vedanta companies

 The Vedanta monster gets inflated

 'Vedanta out of London Now!'

  The limbs of the monster are labelled with the names of Vedanta companies such as Hindustan Zinc
 
 

People arrive for the meeting, including some of those from Vedanta 

'You bulldozed my village and I am watching you' 

A report by Foil Vedanta showed how the company were cheating the Zambian goverment of taxes on its copper mining
