Very good and serious question! It is terrorism.Why are they continually alowed to disrupt businesses and basically do as they please under the illusion that we farmers are destroying the planet

It's good IMO, this sort of behaviour will turn the masses against them faster than anything we could do

There's a helluva lot of people enjoy a Maccy's and they won't be impressed that an extremist minority are trying to prevent their freedom of choice. I think it alienates a lot of people to their cause, just like when XR held up commuters on trains trying to get to work and it wasn't well received

The vast mast majority of McD's customers (and there's a hell of a lot of 'em) don't much care about veganism etc, all they want is their Big Mac. A load of idiots trying to stop them getting one will just alienate them from their (the idiots, that is) cause.
IMHO, they wouldn't be inclined to listen to anything we say regarding meat eating so XR are, in a roundabout way, helping us.

You have to wonder if they are being funded by some corporate organisation that stands to profit from vegan produce. After all, if I was wanting to be a planet saving activist I would be targeting the real problems, anything that used fossil fuels; airports, sea ports, refineries, car showrooms, powerstations, etc. Not a sector that has been part of the earth's balanced 'carbon cycle' for millennia.

Not allies, more of an own goal hopefully. Although we can doubtless trust the BBC to very supportive of their cause and gloss over/omit the illegalities and disruption caused.

Don't need to do that with the one in Basingstoke.
Just tell the residents of Oakridge there's a few bottles of vodka in it for them if they deal with the problem. Bonus is that it would be environmentally friendly. Oakridge is next door to where the depot is, so they could walk there.

May have missed something, but the clip on the Radio 4 news just now had one of the blockaders saying that they have proof that McDonald's uses rainforest beef.

Iām sure some of their branches use rainforest beef...in South America.
Their U.K. restaurants source British and Irish beef.

They claim to be using British and Irish beef here, although I wouldnāt be at all surprised if they use ārainforestā beef..................., in their South American stores.
Kfpben beet me too it.
