    this self-proclaimed anti-capitalist/anarchist girl i often chat to when i'm at work was ranting on about how much she hates monopolous multinational corporations and how they are putting small independent businesses out of business, trying to take over the world etc. and then guess what, i saw her coming out of tesco with tesco bags full of tesco shopping!

    No I am lucky enough to work for a very small independent company, only there are just 5 controllers and 1 admin lady, 4 of the controllers are also the owners / directors.

    It is soy-lidarity who used to work for citysprint, he now works part time for the same company as me.

    Anyway- not many people can choose to work for a so-called 'ethical' company or a small independent company. Most people have to take whatever job they can get if they are to pay the rent and put food in their mouths. Whereas many people can choose not to shop at big 'orrible national and multinational corporations like Tesco.

    Yeah our company rules...we have an office to come back to and drink tea and eat toast, and they buy cakes and sweets for everyone to eat and they rescue us in vans when we crash or our bikes break. We get paid even when there is no work all day and we're sat on our asses (probably drinking company tea and company toast). We are proper employees too, and get sick pay and holiday pay. What could be more ethical than providing tea and cakes, AND holiday pay. Huh? Huh? ;) Although Citysprint are cunts who owe me lots of money, I think its unfair to compare them to MCDonalds and the deforestation of the Amazon or ExonMobil's petrol tanker Valdez that shat out 53 million (!) gallons of crude oil, I mean forcing your employees to wear those ugly CitySprint "tunics" and paying them poorly isn't really in the same league...

    i will leave citysprint alone now!

    it always use to make me laugh when "self-proclaimed anti-capitalist/anarchist" go pick up at a "big multinational" 50 w1 on double rate and did't blink an eye, but be the first to climb up the tree with swampy. tossers!

    i knew some one that would not pick up from news international, because it was owned by murdock, i think it was just his way of not going to the cobbled nightmare!

    Why do anarchists drink herbal teas?










    Because all proper tea is theft
