McLibel Appeal Verdict

A high court appeal launched by the McLibel Two has resulted in significant improvements to the judge's original McLibel verdict. In the appeal decision formally delivered on March 31st, the judges ruled that claims that excessive consumption of burgers enlarges the risk of heart disease, and that their employees get bad pay for work in crap conditions are justified. The appeal judges' ruled that in the light of their revisions of the original verdict, the £60,000 damages awarded to McDonald's should be reduced by £20,000 - which the McLibel crew won’t pay anyway. "The appeal verdict's really a pile of shit with two cherries in it," commented Helen. "With a staggering 65 million hits to its credit, the McSpotlight web-site is seriously worth checking out". www.mcspotlight.org
