News From Liverpool

Inspired by the concept of sustained campaigns, Liverpool EF! has decided to concentrate on a popular supermarket in the city centre. The Tescos store in question has already been the subject of actions against genetic engineering and now fortnightly actions are planned on a variety of issues.

On Friday the 12th of February 8 activists blocked aisles with trolleys filled with genetically modified food. The trolleys were decorated with placards warning of the danger of their contents. At the same time, people dressed as mad scientists chased others dressed as mutant bananas around the store to the amusement of shoppers.

More activities are planned for the 26th of February. The campaign against a new McDonalds on Smithdown road has recieved vast community support and is reported to be going very well. Parents of local school kids are appalled that McDonalds could consider putting a drive-through opposite the school. The preliminary date for the council meeting is the 9th of March. Stuff will happen outside the council offices that day.
