Manchester McD-Day update

updates from Manchester's anti-McDonalds weekend: critical mass and stink-bombs

On Friday evening, a critical mass of about 20-25 cyclists stopped at 2 McDonald's outlets for a little street dance to a mobile sound system. When they eventually drew the attention of the police to them, the cylists ended their tour with a dinner of delicious vegan burgers.

On Saturday lunch time, at least 3 (possibly more) McDonald's outlets in the city centre were stink-bombed. But McDonald's customers seemed to be surprisingly immune to the stench.

If Mc Donalds were really bad they would have been prosecuted long ago!

If Mc Donalds were really guilty of everything that is claimed in the Mc Spotlight website then they would have been prosecuted many years ago. If they are so bad as you say they are then why haven't they ever been prosecuted for any crime? Also if you have so much evidence against them, then why don't you take a private prosecution out against them? Could it be that your evidence wont stand up in court because it is mostly propaganda?

Dear Mr 'Voice of Reason'

A quick question for you:

Given the abominably ignorant, naive and babyish nature of your posts, I imagine your real voice as sounding a bit like Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander.

Am I correct?

got your number

"If Mc Donalds were really guilty of everything that is claimed in the Mc Spotlight website then they would have been prosecuted many years ago. If they are so bad as you say they are then why haven't they ever been prosecuted for any crime?"

Why havent Bush and Blair been prosecuted for any crime. Why havent Coca Cola (pay off contract killers to kill trade union members in columbia) been prosecuted, why havent shell, esso, microsoft, (this could go on for a while) been prosecuted?

Wake up and smell the injustice coz this is the real world.

Not very critical

Is the word 'critical' used in your article in the medical sense, meaning extremely poorly and near to complete extinction? 25 seems a low number. Where were the rest of the revolutionary anti-big business protectors of the public, in the pub drinking Carlsberg or sat at home their Sony playsations?

Just think, some of these 'critical mass' comrades were brought back to Manchester a couple of weeks ago in mummy's car, loaded with all the big-business products which today's youth finds indispensible.

pret critical considering atch

erm...too be honest 25 on critical mass isn't bad at the moment..critical mass is a bike ride round the city to celebrate the bicycle and getting round our city without polluting it..we go a a pace that everyone can keep up with and do it not to piss off drivers but to inspire people to ride bikes instead of oil guzzling machines..

unfortunatley despite how much fun it is, there are usually fewer than 25 (often cos of the shite weather- loads of people came to the anti g8 one in summer)..and 25 was a pretty good turnout..but we are getting bigger and we've been doing all sort of bike related things..from new york critical massers comin over showin us a film to pirate bike treasure hunts to bike races to bike mechanics workshops..

the mcdonalds day critical mass was really fun and good to see new faces..hopefully some of those students that were dropped off in cars will get on their bikes and come and hopefully you will too mr 'not very critical'..

...so don't just leave it for special occasions..come every last friday 6pm at central library...
