How many times did you drive along Bell Street

Hi,
I presume you represent the action group around the Essendon, Moonee Ponds area that lobbied unsuccessfully to stop Maccas demolishing a century old house earlier this year. Well the sad fact is that you and the rest of the minority holding up your placards and shouting abuse were wasting your time. The company had legally obtained permission through the relevant channels using the current legislation as it stands, and had tried everything to please you people, even to the point of removing the house to another location at their expense. Yet your group continued to protest, using the issue of historical significance. How many times did you drive along Bell Street and notice or have any knowledge of the house or its history??? Sounds to me like you took up arms as soon as the Golden Arches moved in.

Now I'm no Maccas fan. I've worked there and seen the ugly side, and hate the company just as much as anyone else does. But for people like you and your rabble of anachists to try to stop a legal move to act on property purchased properly demonstrates your complete lack of understanding on the subject and any foresight to see the truth. As the other person said respoding to your 'opinion', shut down your website, and move back into obscurity where you all belong!!!
And email me if you feel like abusing me personally, because if you want to bite me, then I'll bite back!
