On April 30, Steve Inskeep of NPR reported that a Kuala Lumpur appeals court has
ruled McDonald's has no standing to prevent another restaurant from naming itself
McCurry. As millions of Scots have said, McDonald's doesn't own the prefix Mc
Before the NAACP and Charles Griffis, a Los Angeles franchiser, sued, McDonald's did not
allow black franchisers to buy in white neighborhoods. The case was settled out of court.

Both Prince Charles and his father Prince Philip have made public statements, the former
that McDonald's should be shut down, the latter that McDonald's was destroying the rainforest.
Unconstitutional court gag orders which violate the 1st amendment prevent the public
from knowing the results of the tens of thousands? of lawsuits against McDonald's
for food poisoning and many other situations.
National Public Radio was the recipient of 200 million dollars from Joan Kroc, Ray Kroc's
widow. Unfortunately several times a week the NPR staff work in product placement
ads for the chain. Marketplace, Morning Edition, All Things Considered etc. How can there
be unbiased coverage of news when such a financial incentive to promote a company is
involved?

Animal flesh is an addiction
The trioxypurine or uric acid or preurine in animal muscle cells is more addictive than
caffein, dioxypurine (3 oxypurines to 2). You can break the chains which cause animal agony.

While McDonald's has accommodated many different cultures with McFalafel in some Arab
countries, no cow flesh in India, and veggie burgers in European countries, it has
never yet followed Burger King and several other fast food chains in offering a vegan burger
in the US. It has no soy icecreams. http://www.vegdining.com/

What does ed Miliband offer to voters on justice, fairplay and due process?

Noticed that there isn’t any comment on any part of your post thus far.
How so telling.
That Indymedia, which launched in the UK amid so much promise, has now come to this.
Most posts that are remotely contentious about day to day cruelty and disservice by the ones who ought to deliver, are hidden or followed by hateful comments, suspected to be
Ones done by Indymedia ‘insiders’.
The lack of post is seriously worrying because the violence that is the McDonalds Conglomerate is literally ruing lives. Humans and animals.
So what’s stopping the independent minded activists of England?
Is it also another confirmation that most ‘campaigning’ websites and operations have been completely infiltrated by the likes of multinationals that literally dictate the laws of the Western ‘sovereign’ States?
As compared to benefit claimants – who are being oppressed out of claiming what pittance is still lawfully their rights – the impunity given to McDonalds and other conglomerates do not just relate to State taxation but also to the attitude shown to them by the courts of law.
Even if the courts were still open to allowing applications against McDonalds to be formally filed, it is impossible to see one single English High Court or the Court of Appeal Judge reaching any conclusion against McDonalds or other big corporations like McDonalds
Despite so much rhetoric from Ed Miliband’s Labour Opposition, issuing frequent claims that they will bring about a fair society, there is nothing in anything Ed Miliband has so far said that will allow the public to have the soy they have been denied by the Con Dem Coalition,
What is there for people to think that Ed Miliiband offers to voters and to Society any large any sustainable answer to the status quo?
