Despite the disparity (later declared an unfair trial by the European Court of Human Rights) the court still ruled in their favour on some points. It agreed McDonald's endangers health with misleading advertising, exploits children, is cruel to animals & pays low wages
But the story is about far more - private infiltrators sent by the company sat beside Metropolitan Police spycops, one of whom deceived Helen into a long-term relationship. It's a gripping tale you'd scarcely believe could happen
The People vs McDonald's - Mark Steel presents a new podcast series telling the shocking story of how McDonald's & #spycops infiltrated & undermined London Greenpeace.
A spycop helped write London Greenpeace's briefing on McDonald's, the corporation then sued the group for libel. But 2 of them - Helen Steel & Dave Morris - stood their ground. They had to conduct their own defence while McDonald's hired expensive lawyers. 🧵
We've just published our summary of the day the spycops public inquiry heard from Liz Fuller who was deceived into a long-term relationship by officer HN1 'Matt Rayner' in the early 1990s.
The Inquiry promised the women the man's real name. They've broken that promise to Liz & won't say why. They protect the guilty & increase anguish for the abused

New - our report of Eric Docker, spycop manager 1986-8, at the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Even among spycops he stands out as horrible, self-contradicting & lying.
It's a very long read but it's full of jaw-dropping gall & weird incidents. If you want to understand how corrupt, cruel, deluded & pointless spycops were & see their contempt for justice & citizens, this is the one.

Striking miners were extensively spied on by state agents during the 1984-5 strike. The National Union of Mineworkers is a core participant at the Undercover Policing Inquiry.
ICYMI: The government has announced an inquiry into the Battle of Orgreave, when striking miners were attacked by police in 1984.
Congratulations to our friends at the Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign who've campaigned so long & hard to get the truth established.

New on our site - Belinda Harvey was deceived into a long-term relationship by #spycops officer Bob Lambert. She wasn't an activist, just a perk of the job.

The #spycops public inquiry has extended its timetable into 2027 & beyond. While nobody like delays, we do want a thorough inquiry rather than a rush job. The blame for the length lies with police obstructions 2014-20 & the Inquiry letting them do it.
