In Birmingham, 13 campaigners met up at midday, and staged demos outside all 4 of McDiseased city centre stores.

The tour started with the McDevastation store on The Pallasades ramp, just off New Street. A large banner was unfolded and placards held aloft. Several McD`s staff were insistent that we couldn`t protest outside their store, but after 10 minutes, they came back informing us that we could protest afterall, so long as we didn`t block the doorway! Well, how kind of them to let us protest!! Did they really think we were going to move on just because they didn`t want us there?!!

After half an hour, the protest turned mobile as we marched down New Street, to the store on High Street. They seemed equally keen to see us! Whilst some protesters held up posters, others distributed `What`s wrong with McDonalds` and `go veggie` leaflets to the masses. Our next stop was the McDeath store inside Paradise Forum, where we exposed McDomineering for another half an hour.

The tour ended up at the McDeath store on Cherry Street, where we were soon joined by another 6 campaigners from Food Not Bombs, who set up a free food stall, right outside!! Free food on offer included veggie burgers, fruit and lots more. The protest continued alongside the food stall until 4pm. Well over 1,000 leaflets were handed out in total during another great day of action which will be repeated again soon!
