Friday 17 July 2009: Political street theatre group Government of the Dead too kto the streets again, this time on the steps of the Royal Exchange in London's financial district. They came with pig masks, a trough full of pig swill and a banner declaring "Bonuses Are Back". The "Pig Party" was to draw attention to the "business as usual" policy of the banks of sky-high bonus payouts not one year after the UK taxpayer bailed out the economy and banking system to the tune of £500 million.

Monday 1 June 2009: As promised the Government of the Dead returned to parliament, this time with handcuffs to arrest the "criminals" involved in the neverending story of the UK MP's expenses claims.
Chris Knight read out a long fraud list, naming the claimants and the ridiculous expenses they expected the UK taxpayer to foot the bill, including "protecting shrubs from bunny rabbits", "moat cleaning" and a "rocking chair". The small group of protestors then made several attempts to arrest those MPs they considered "benefit fraudsters" but were halted, in true irony, by the police.Monday 1 June 2009: As promised the Government of the Dead returned to parliament,... more

Tuesday 24 February 2009: The Government of the Dead marched along Oxford Street to Tyburn, now known as Marble Arch, where until the 18th Century was the popular home of London's public hangings.
The zombies took with them an effigy of a banker, which they hung from London's famous archway at Hyde Park, a symbolic gesture of disgust at the UK banking system and the £500 billion taxpayer bailout of the capitalist system.
This video is released now as the city of London prepares for mass protest against the G20 summit on the 28th of March and 1st and 2nd of April.
