Ten Space Hijacker agents came along to join in the fun. The Nike MC was hollering on the mic whilst agent Treat joined in with a few of our own chants!
"Sweatshops ROCK!"
"Child Labour is good for the economy!"
"We need little hands to do the small stiching"
"Brand Your Kids"
The Nike organisers were getting suitably annoyed at this point, especially after realising our banners were appearing on the 30ft video screen of the finish line. They soon switched the screen to a view of the glow-worm like runners crossing Tower Bridge.
Luckily we also happened to be right next to the press pen, where the Nike celebrity runners were being intervied by the BBC. The cameraman found it impossible to find a position to interview Paula Radcliffe without one of our Nike supporters jumping into view.
The beauty of the event was that the finish line was in a public park, and as such it was public not private property. Nike had no right to ask us to leave, although we ourselved never imagined we would get so close to the finish line and press pen.
