The offending "discriminatory" t-shirt!


At a small leafleting demo outside MacDonalds in Hastings, Sussex, today, a local man was subjected to an unbelievable stop and search on the grounds that he was wearing a t shirt displaying a "discriminating sign".

On the stop and search form, the policeman noted the following: "stopped outside McDonalds, as public stated male displaying discriminating sign on t shirt" (see photo). The man in question was simply wearing the McLibel shirt shown in the other photo.

The police took no further action. The protestors vowed not to be intimidated and plan further actions outside MacDonalds.
