Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Surely you meant:
"Ho ho ho, have some snow!"
or for an Irish audience, maybe it should be:
Ho ho ho, have some blow!
We're going to get snow here in Warsaw soon enough.
See the following link for Mark Thomas's documentary on Coca Cola and a new documentary by Matt Beard, A Justice Film, "The Cost of a Coke"
http://killercoke.org/#item20
Mark is currently on tour so I presume he is a little busy too respond.
'a delegation of trade unionists and activists went to Colombia from Ireland in support of Coke workers in Colombia two years ago .They are surely entitled to know whether BAe paid towards the cost of the trip.'
They can establish that themselves very easily - BAe didn't give them a solitary penny, the whole trip was funded by the people who went there and nobody else. Having paid for their own travel and other expenses, they don't need anyone to tell them 'whether BAe paid towards the cost of the trip'. This sort of groundless speculation is not exactly helpful
"But really ,all he needed to do was give an emphatic "No" like the last poster did , instead of asking "why do you want to know ?" when I raised the matter with him."
Go back and read the original Mark Thomas piece in "The Guardian".
It's a piece about how a celebrity artist discovers his activist friend is a spy. And you expect Thomas not to treat you with suspicion, go figure?
FARC are not the people of Colombia being oppressed by Coke, they are some of the people. To be critical of FARC (for decapitating a young unarmed Irish guy a few years back, for example) doesn't mean you're an apologist for Coke!)
