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.

So. 'Ello 'ello 'ello. What have we 'ere then?
What macrocosm does this little microcosmic piece of paper reflect?
Well, it reflects the daily triumph of the jobsworth. The bloke in On the Buses with the weird teeth. The Dogberry and Verges of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". The little Hitler we all meet in one department or other at some crumby low-paid low-end dumb job where we're treated like an idiot on a daily basis by people who resent every single ounce of talent in our being.
It's incoherently written! Whoever wrote that should be in a courtroom - to clarify what on earth they were trying to write.
The tyranny of the fool, the chump, the cream-puff, the jobsworth, the moron, the inadequate.
Mind you, there are all sorts of interesting ways to out-Matthew Fox these pumpkins. Despite the fact that they have the formal powers, when the system is in a state of schlerosis (and is breaking down at a rate of knots) these fools can be treated with the unbelievable lightness of being.
Out-fox hunt the chumps. They want to hunt you for having the temerity to express your soul?
Be the fox one moment, be the hunter the next.
Move amongst the people like fish amongst the sea.
Follow the high path one moment, the low path the next.
Not all streets have CCTV cameras.
Not all CCTV cameras are pointing your way.
And - at the end of the day (and at the end of time, when all men shall be judged for their real high crimes and misdemeanours) that little bit of paper with the dumb writing will be recycled or, more likely, incinerated.
The campaign against immoral treatment of animals masquerading as food will never die because it exists in our minds and our souls and can never be policed!
VIVA LIBERTY 2006!
