Protest Shard owners seek to ban protest by Class War activist Qatari royals want injunction preventing 70-year-old Ian Bone from staging ‘ghost towers’ demo Ian Bone, the 70-year-old Shard protester, will give evidence to the high court on Thursday 8 February. Families of some of the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy were due to join him in the demonstration. “Anyone know where the entrance for the luxury apartments at the Shard is?,” Bone, 70, posted on Facebook last Wednesday. Evidence filed by the Shard’s owners at the high court includes a detailed “intelligence report” on Bone compiled by private security firm VSG. In 2015, Class War coordinated an anti-gentrification protest that resulted in a breakfast cereal cafe in London’s Shoreditch being covered with paint bombs and graffiti.
