Grannies glue themselves to table in protest during nuclear power debate

Campaigning grandmothers glued themselves to a table in a protest over climate change. The two women carried out the demonstration during a Dorset Council meeting.

Councillors booed and heckled the pair as they read out a statement criticising the authority for its lack of action over the environmental issue. One later claimed she had her statement ripped from her hand and the other alleged she had been "rough handled", reports Dorset Live.

Filming of the the meeting was stopped as the two, who call themselves "Grannies for the Future", entered the council chamber. It meant the protest was not broadcast with the public not told what was happening during the meeting on Thursday.
