Day of Stormtrooping on the Streets of Manchester!

Stormtrooprs and Drahomir

After our Film Night at the Antwerp Mansion, we took to the streets to continue our action against Volkswagen. With their Star Wars themed adverts for the summer, it only made sense that we played up to their image with the use of Stormtroopers and slogans such as "Volkswagen: The Dark Side". We were re-enforced by the likes of Chester, Liverpool, Telfords and Malcolm again to help obtain more petitions. With two Stormtrooper costumes to hand, we were able to double our presence around Picadilly Gardens and the surrounding areas. This allowed us to gather over 150 petitions in the space of little more than 2-3 hours!

We also had the presence of Fran, a local journalist who came along to report on us http://mancunianmatters.co.uk/

A huge thanks out to all of you who made this possible. This was without a doubt a most productive and successful day out. Volkswagen should really be feeling the heat now from all you Jedi out there swelling the numbers of the Rebellion! Not too long before we sort things out!
