Today No Chains pitched up outside a well known no-union fast food emporium on Mill Road and gave away free food (and advice) to prospective customers.
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch!?

A chain gets some competition...
Pitched up and ready to go!
Councillor Kevin Blencowe inspects the food on offer.
You are now a Radio star!
Lots of satisfied, interested punters!
Doing the good hustle...
Free Food and Free Speech!
Yum yum! Free food!
This is to be the start of campaign to try and stop Mill road ending up looking like the rest of the city centre - and many others around the country - full of corporate franchises, as opposed to local businesses which keep the money in their community rather than exporting it from their host city for their CEOs' and shareholders' benefit only as multinationals do.
There was much interest from local residents, with 209radio coming along to interview activists and passersby, as well as the action getting the support of Labour councillor Kevin Blencowe, whom professes to be Old Labour!
One member of the Constabulary came along to investigate, but was happy for the action to continue as there was no major disruption to locals taking place, although Subway may beg to differ!
Many people helped themselves to the free homemade vegan snacks on offer, and signed the No Chains petitions, so all tolled a very successful start to what many hope will be a fruitful campaign.
No pun intended.
