In pictures: a different kind of shareholder activism

This year has so far witnessed a very direct form of shareholder activism at annual general meetings across Europe.  Eggs, shoes and coins are amongst the objects thrown at company directors: see these photographs published on the Guardian website. The last photograph takes us back to the UK in 1995 when Cedric the pig, accompanied by officials from the GMB union, welcomed shareholders attending the British Gas AGM.
