Dave Morris and Helen Steel, who have given up two years of their life
for a cause?McDonalds, who have ranged the most expensive legal team in UK history
against them?McSpotlight and the McLibel Support campaign, who have put careers on
hold and donated and raised money to support the two?Of course there is some signal-to-noise here. It is far more visible
in the pro-McD's faction, however (as is bad spelling).
The case would hardly have lasted so long if there wasn't some truth
there. In fact, nearly all of it is spot on.In what way precisely have they wasted _your_ time?
Do you consider global destruction a "triviality"?
I have much more patience with this than with the McDonald's ads
screwed to steps in the London Underground. I give each one a kick
every time I walk past. Now _that_ is a waste of time, a test of
patience and a triviality.As are you.
Gideon.
None.
