Roger's Chocolate Protest

Comrade Moore joins the fight

For all Sir Roger Moore's flashy suits and expensive cigars, he is still not too grand to join a picket line.
Earlier this week, Moore approached a group of staff from a Cadbury's chocolate plant outside Bristol, who were demonstrating outside the head office in the city centre.

"One of our stewards went to speak to him and explained we were there because Cadbury's were shutting the factory at Keynsham," says a Union rep. Moore then surprisingly stayed to join in a protest song sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree.

Adds the rep: "He was very supportive. He said his father had always enjoyed Cadbury's chocolate."

Good for Roger!  I read about it too, that he was on his way to have dinner in London, saw the protest by the chocolate factory workers, and spent 10 minutes with them.

I hate to see any factory close and workers laid off. Good for Roger to support them. Goes to show he is not afraid to mingle with average folk.
