Meredith Alexandert (who happens to be ethics commissioner) quits in protest
against Dow Chemical being part of London Olympics.
This is what she had to say “I don't want to be party to a defence of Dow
Chemicals, the company responsible for one of the worst corporate human rights
violations in my generation. It is appalling that 27 years on, the site has
still not been cleaned up and thousands upon thousands of people are still
suffering”.
“I believe people should be free to enjoy London 2012 without this toxic
legacy on their conscience”
