During the Saturday lunch time rush hours from 12:00 to 14:00, a group of activists spearheaded by Derby Animal Rights demo-ed the busy St. Peters street branch of McDonald's, in protest at the unethical business practices of the fast food giant.
October the 16th is officially the International Day of Action Against McDonald's, originally launched by London Greenpeace back in 1985 and now attracting support from across the spectrum of positive movements, from animal rights to worker's rights, from anti climate change to anti-capitalism.
McDonald's symbolises everything that is wrong with the corporate mentality: like all multinationals it is only interested in making profits from whoever and whatever it can. As a result of the famous McLibel trial, it was agreed in a court of law that McDonald's:
* exploits children with its advertising - luring them with the promise of a toy,
* falsely advertises its food as nutritious, but in reality most of it is processed junk food high in fat, sugar and salt,
* risk the health of its long-term regular customers, as a diet of this type is linked with a greater risk of heart disease, obesity, cancer and diabetes,
* is culpably responsible for cruelty to animals reared for its products,
* is strongly antipathetic to unions and pay its workers low wages.
Watch this space for news on other actions in the East Midlands in the run up to IDAAMD.

Great to see the Cuts Cafe has occupied the building on the corner of Stamford Street and Blackfriars Road… And not just because we’ve passed that building regularly for years and thought it should be squatted… but also because they’re reviving a powerful radical connection on that corner…BBC Cesspit – Its not just about Savile

This campaign has consistently stated that the BBC’s interest in Hollie’s abuse and Anne had been managed, manipulated and spiked. In the light of the Jimmy Savile revelations of sexual abuse over a 40-year period and the cover-up by the BBC, we would like to point out a few similarities in the cover-up.G4S complicit in torture of children - Protest outside London HQ
