Join the fight against multinational greed
EVERYONE GET TO MCDONALDS ON GRAFTON STREET THURSDAY OCT 16TH AT 5PM!
Its vitally important for people involved in the anti war movement to begin turning attention to the disgusting greed that was the real reason for the war in Iraq.
Fair play to GR for leading the charge. imagine thousands of people demonstrating outside McDonalds. how could they ignore us? we have the power to stop exploititave multinationals and shut them down, we just need to set our sights on a long term goal of attaining a better world, which IS possible... we need to set aside our differences and fight together side by side.
so everyone get there on thursday and give the finger to capitalism!

1. What have McDs got to do with the recent conflict in Iraq?

2. How is McDs exploitative.

3. How come nobody but a tiny minority have a problem with McDs? If they were seo loathsome then they wouldn't be able to stay in business.

Enjoy your meal.

Good summary on:-

http://www.mcspotlight.org/issues/intro.html

McD's spend 2 billion a year which helps encourage people to buy their products. Most people are mal-informed about McD's. The mainstream media, with biasm, does not give much coverage of it. And last but not least, most people are selfish and greedy, and don't really care about doing the right thing so long as their belly gets satisfied.
