Tesco
12/11/10 -- Supermarket dictatorship Tesco found one of their main distribution centres under blockade from angry farmers again last night I read in the Farmers' Guardian here. Hurrah for the Farmers for Action group I say.Maybe GBP6,000/minute profit Tesco are getting a very minor little twinge about all the bad publicity they've been receiving of late? I read elsewhere that they've decided to donate GBP40,000 to veteran-aid group The Poppy Appeal to cover the money the would have raised if they hadn't pulled Hovis products that were set to donate 4p/loaf to the same campaign from their shelves.
There doesn't seem to be any word on them reinstating British Hovis at its new prices. That would be too much to ask for. I mean we wouldn't want to go giving the housewife a choice or anything would we?
"The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed" - Adolf Hitler.
