Shame on you Paul!! John will be turning :(

James, Didcot,

If you can rely on anybody to use his connection to change a company (opr government's) policy, it's McCartney. Approached by Lexus when he was looking for sponsors for his recent US Tour, Mac went with them only when they showed him plans for their hybrid vehicle and went on to put his name to it.
I would bet that Mac is well aware of the controversy over Starbucks' coffee operations abroad and that they, wanting to retain what looks like a very promising account with him on music, will therefore be responsive to whatever concerns he has.
Therefore, having Macca in a position of influence with corporations is most definitely a plus for campaigners and there's no doubt that he's down with campaigners on every worthwhile issue.
It's all good.

Oh please, give me a break....there is some dirt on every major corporation in the world...Like Capitol and EMI are stellar companies....they've been stealing money and raping starting out musicians for decades...they even stole blindly from The Beatles, hiding royalties...they were powerful enough to sue them even as recent as last year.

So, justice seeker, shy away from his work....the only loss will be to you..I'd like for someone to put your life and who you associate with under a microscope...I'm sure you wouldn't come out clean either....that's the world.
