Ethical Shoplifting In Stroud

2 EF!ers are on bail in Stroud following the new group's ethical shoplift. The action at Great Mills was to protest against the sale of illegally logged Brazilian mahogany. Police are trying to think of a suitable charge for the shoplifters; a third protester who was D- locked to a mahogany banister was not charged. The Great Mills manager claimed to the press that they are phasing out mahogany. This is utter bullshit and they haven't got a hardwood leg to stand on.
