More puppet mayhem.
The carrott block!
Oink! (1)
All dressed up and nothing to do...
Jingle jangle.
Lidl. The new McDonalds?
Tractor fans.
Oink! (2)
This chicken is selling the idea that battery farms are cruel, not car insurance
You get $2.00!
You get £1.00

One port of call was Lidl whose crimes include low pay, non recognition of unions, promoting GM and selling shit food. Speeches were made here and at several other locations.
Despite the obvious fact that this demo was going to be less confrontational than a sit-in by the Hare Krishnas, two hundred cops in full riot gear were in attendance. This gives the impression that their Policing is not what you would describe as ‘intelligence led’. With nothing else to do they kept themselves occupied by searching anyone under the age of 30 who was wearing an item of black clothing. No arrests were made.
The demo finished with more speeches in the square with plenty of interesting facts and figures. One example is that milk producing EU cows are subsidised for two dollars a day. Meanwhile starving Africans? One dollar a day!
