What is the point in attending a protest...

Am I the only one who doesn't get this?

So, you're going to boycott Starbucks by going to McDonalds?
I'm sure their sales are good enough to handle one less person...

... condemning British foreign policy, war, genocide, tax dodging uk companies, etc and then wanting to go in Starbucks afterwards?? People in my group got into a hissy fit with me because I told them there's no way in hell i'm going to buy poor quality coffee from Starbucks after years and years of boycotting them and then explained why I do, etc.

They then got all frustrated and annoyed that I didn't want to go in and offered to go into McDonalds next door instead. I gave up and went accross the road for some greasy chips from some back alley takeaway

No I didn't go into Maccy Ds at all. They suggested.

So, you're boycotting Starbucks by thinking of going elsewhere?

Nope, this seems ridiculous...

I can understand not wanting to drink the overpriced and rubbishy coffee at starbucks but it sounds like you've got a deeper objection... what's the beef?

Type in Starbucks and Zionism in a search engine.

If you protest then you should boycott all major international companies, starbucks, maccies etc.
The local chip shop is the best idea.
