Remember the Angry Mermaid? I blogged about her last week.

Well today she's really furious, having been banned from inside the climate talks.
 
This morning Friends of the Earth wanted to take her to the conference centre to promote the Angry Mermaid Award.
 
The award asks the public to vote for the worst corporate lobbyist - which includes some of the world's major polluters or their representatives.
 
"We were told we could not upset the corporate lobbyists," says our campaigner Asad Rehman.
 
Nothing was said, you'll note, about the mermaid's feelings.
 
"It's totally frustrating," adds Asad.
 
The good news is that you can still vote for the award from a shortlist.

As they say on the X Factor: the lines are still open.
