Shadow World - the People vs MacDonalds
In 1986, members of environmental group, London Greenpeace, published a leaflet called 'What's Wrong with McDonald's?' It claimed McDonald's was exploiting workers, destroying rainforests, torturing animals, and promoting food that could make people sick, even cause cancer...
McDonald's said the claims in the leaflet were untrue, harmed its reputation and demanded an apology.
Helen Steel, a gardener, and a former postman named Dave Morris, refused.Mark Steel takes us into the murky world of McDonald's Corporation vs Steel & Morris - aka 'McLibel' - the longest-running trial in English history which turned the spotlight on the way big business operates. The case would help bring issues like rainforest destruction and advertising to children into the mainstream. It would also - spoiler alert - be the moment our current Prime Minister first comes to prominence. And if that isn't enough, this story would ultimately have connections with a dark and shameful secret at the heart of the British state - something which Mark discovers he himself had been a victim of.

Good to see reference to James Hansen, who spoke on behalf of #McLibel in 1990's (currently featured on BBC Radio 4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002h03b)
and in defense of the #Ratcliffe114 climate defenders whose 2010 trial collapsed after revelation that the group was infiltrated by #Spycops

@beforewisdom
This is a new series with mark steel. The series is about the McDonald's case but is also about the #spycopscandal , the inquiry is still ongoing.
The #mclibel case is an important part of the spy cops story as Helen Steel was in a relationship with an undercover cop, obviously she didn't know at the time, but also that the leaflet at the heart of the case was largely written by another spycop. You really couldn't make it up! -

It was the fact that he gave his time voluntarily to the case that fooled me into thinking he was a decent person.
How wrong I was.

Michael Mansfield ... law talking guy ...
(classic underachiever (in my opinion))
A #BritishRepublican,[2] #vegetarian, #socialist [3] and self-described "radical lawyer",[4] he has participated in prominent and controversial court cases and inquests including the Birmingham Six, #BloodySundayMassacre, the #HillsboroughDisaster and the deaths of #JeanCharlesDeMenezes and Princess Diana[5] and the #McLibel case.
