We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

John Hewitt bar belfast bans killa coke

category antrim | miscellaneous | news report author Friday October 17, 2003 09:47author by nellie and kellie Report this post to the editors

The John Hewitt bar in belfast has banned killa coke because of killa coke's appalling treatment of its bottlers and trade unionists. Trade union bottlers at killa cokes factories in Colombia have been murdered by junta militia hired by killa coke.

people ordering killa coke will be given a leaflet explaining and detailing killa cokes atrocities against their workers and trade unionists.

Any chance of the text of that leaflet or a link for it???

All of us should try to get Coke taken out of our workplaces and publicise what this company is doing to trades unionists and workers.

I have a friend who has told me he'd be willing to boycott Coke products in his bar if there is another alternative to it.
He's Dublin based.

A Co-operative of palestinian peoples are producing the above product and it is easily obtained in a lot of shops in Belfast.
This Co-op pays its staff properly, has good terms and conditions and is a major seller in the Arab world.

With any luck, the bars and clubs will start to stock it, if the breweries dont use their stranglehold on them as the ONLY supplier.

I know of Mecca Cola. It gives 10% of its net profits to palestinian charities, projects etc.
And another 10% to local NGOs.

But it isn't on sale in the 26 as far as I am aware.
It also has written in small writing on its bottles, something along the lines of, Please do not mix with alcohol.

Are its distributors willing to sell to pubs etc?

Where did you get your info from?
I've read up on the company and checked out their website (www.mecca-cola.com) and there is no mention of them being a co-operative.

I saw no mention of them selling in the Arab world, although some articles mentioned that they wished to sell in Arab in the not so distant future.

as far as i know, mecca cola is based in France, and its biggest market is european muslims. I pretty sure it doesn't (yet) sell in the middle east, but may in some parts of north africa.

I've never seen it in the Republic, but I would be interested to taste it.

It tastes really good - almost the same as the real thng.

why do every cola drink company seem to rip-off the coke branding, its really irritating. Is it possible to buy Mecca coke over here as I havent had a whiskey and coke in quite a while, i miss it.

Irn Bru!
Or there is a cola made in Brittany by a small workers coop as well but cannae remember the name.
Anyway, whisky is nicer without that fizzy non sense.
Mecca cola why not.
There are simply wee coke imitation in every coner shop.

at last... Coke will be destroyed taking those dang panda bears with it. And may Pepsi fall as well... leaving the world to enjoy me MR. PIBB the truest form of cola there is. Dr. Pepper can eat my arse.
