Happening Taunton

Taunton was abuzz with class acting on the 16th of October. First the locals joined in the international McDonald's bashing with a street theatre exposing Ronnie's misbehaviour and publicly slapping the guy. Spectators became activists for a moment as they could not resist the chance to have a go at our "known felon". Later the same day a mutant carrot was quickly ejected by the "PR lads" at the local Safeway's, but not before releasing mutant genes (balloons) to join their comrades on the shelves. An expert in a biohazard suit appeared incapable of recapturing the renegade veg, who said "We are everywhere, we're uncontrollable and we're taking over! There's lots more where I came from. Mutant Power!" A quarantine line was set up and various trolleys filled with goods labelled "contaminated" and "biohazard" were left around the store. A very successful action, followed by a GMO free picnic.
