'McLIBEL' VERDICT OVERTURNED!

Wow. The European Court of Human Rights ruled yesterday that David Morris and Helen Steel did not get a fair trial in the infamous 'McLibel' case from the mid-1990s and awarded the pair $45,000. Considering the 313 court days the trial took (not to mention Morris & Steel's work to defend themselves with help from volunteer lawyers) this is still a pittance, but it's a moral victory that brings more bad publicity to the bozos at McDonald's, which is always good.
