Tesco - A Multicultural Problem

St Georges Day April 23rd · 04-15-2008, 07:34 PM

Tesco has been accused of unleashing an "unstoppable invasion" of the
high street by stepping up the pace at which it opens neighbourhood
stores.

The supermarket giant is due to launch 150 stores in the smaller
Express format over the next 12 months, compared with around 100
annually in recent years.

Campaigners claim the smaller format convenience stores destroy local
independent shops and cause congestion and noise in residential
areas.

Sandra Bell, supermarkets campaigner for Friends of the Earth, said:
"Tesco's seemingly unstoppable invasion of our high streets comes at
the expense of independent shops and leaves shoppers with little
choice of where to buy their groceries. While the commission's report,
due next month, is hoped to stop the worst of this retail giant's
bullying behaviour towards suppliers, it will do nothing to stop the
Tesco-isation of our towns."

Tesco, founded by son of Jewish sailor Jack Cohen, grandfather to heir
of the Tesco fortune Dame Shirly Porter. As an example of the utter
corruption and disregard for the rule of law in Britain of the Tesco
family, to avoid paying the £27,000,000 cost of the "homes for votes"
scandal she claimed she only had assets of £300,000 and fled to exile
in Israel for 12 years to avoid paying the costs, which had to be
picked up by hard pressed London taxpayers.

Tesco: A Multicultural Problem

In older England the merchant class had many easy-going traditions.
One tradition was that a respectable tradesman would never seek
business but wait for it to come to him. Another tradition was that to
decorate one's store window with lights or colors, or to display one's
stock of goods attractively in the view of the public, was a
contemptible and underhanded method of tempting a brother tradesman's
customers away from him. Still another tradition was that it was
strictly unethical and unbusinesslike to handle more than one line of
goods. If one sold tea, it was the best reason in the world why he
should not sell teaspoons. As for advertising, the thing would have
been so brazen and bold that public opinion would have put the
advertiser out of business. The proper demeanor for a merchant was to
seem reluctant to part with his goods.

One may readily imaging what happened when the Jewish merchant bustled
into the midst of this jungle of traditions. He simply broke them all.
In those days tradition had all the force of a divinely promulgated
moral law and in consequence of his initiative the Jew was regarded as
a great offender. A man who would break those trade traditions would
stop at nothing! The Jew was anxious to sell. If he could not sell one
article to a customer, he had another on hand to offer him. The Jews'
stores became bazaars, forerunners of our modern department stores,
and the old English custom of one store for one line of goods was
broken up. The Jew went after trade, pursued it, persuaded it. He was
the originator of "a quick turnover and small profits." He originated
the installment plan. The one state of affairs he could not endure was
business at a standstill, and to start it moving he would do anything.
He was the first advertiser — in a day when even to announce in public
prints the location of your store was to intimate to the public that
you were in financial difficulties, were about to go to the wall and
were trying the last desperate expedient to which no self-respecting
merchant would stoop.

It was as easy as child's play to connect this energy with dishonesty.
The Jew was not playing the game, at least so the staid English
merchant thought. As a matter of fact he was playing the game to get
it all in his own hands — which he has practically done.

BNP will stem the Tesco tide
http://www.bnp.org.uk/freedom/05nov03.html

SUPERMARKET tyrant, Tesco, has just rung up record profits as it
continues to conquer our High Streets and shopping centres.

This year's first half pre-tax profits announced on September 20th
were up 18.7% to £908 million, whilst Tesco's share of the grocery
market is up to 30.5%.

Within five years that share is expected to reach 45%, then the
superstore giant will have enough monopoly power to hike prices and
squeeze shoppers who will no longer have an alternative source for
food or household goods.

Tesco is ruthlessly expanding and crushing its rivals. Its market
share is almost as big as its two main rivals, Asda and Sainsbury's
put together, and it shows no sign of stopping.

Tesco has amassed a 'land bank' of 185 sites across the country on
which to build new stores. 30 of these will be open by the end of this
year, and another 56 have planning permission. This 'land bank'
amounts to 4.5 million square feet of new supermarket space. Compare
that with the other supermarket chains, Asda, Sainsbury's and
Morrisons who only have 3.7 million square feet of planned store space
between them.

The superstore empire wants total domination of Britain's food supply
chain. They bid whatever it takes to buy up any potential store sites
that come on the market, simply to deny them to their rivals.

The company uses its ever-increasing financial muscle to beat down the
local opposition it is increasingly encountering as it takes over yet
another town. In the lovely Cotswold town of Stow-on-the-Wold, an
application to build a Tesco store had been turned down seven times
before the local planning officer urged councillors to approve the
proposal.

The alternative was to face the heavy costs of an appeal for which
each of the councillors could be personally liable. Naturally the
council caved in as they generally have been forced to do everywhere.
Tesco knows that in civil cases British justice is generally for sale
to the highest bidder - ordinary folk simply can't afford the immense
legal costs entailed.

Tesco, aided and abetted by lesser supermarket sharks like Asda,
Sainsbury's and Morrisons who between them control almost three
quarters of the British grocery market, use their monopoly buying
power to force farmers and other suppliers to sell at unsustainable
prices, driving many to ruin.

The uneconomic prices they force suppliers to accept then enables the
store chains to undercut traditional family shops, butchers, grocers
and fishmongers, and drive them out of business in town after town.

Having driven everyone else out of the market, the biggest store shark
is now devouring the lesser ones.

You would have thought a Labour Government would be defending ordinary
shoppers from this approaching big business monopoly exploitation, but
that's not the case. The Office of Fair Trading can only wring its
hands and do nothing while the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister
only pauses from its schemes to concrete over Southern England to
repeatedly back Tesco in planning battles with local residents and
their elected councillors.

Nothing now stands between Tesco and total control of your shopping
bag but the British National Party. We will stop them in their tracks,
break up the giant store chains and set free farmers and shoppers
alike from the tangling web of monopoly buying and selling power.

Only the BNP will encourage small shopkeepers to return to the high
street, to complement a responsible but limited supermarket sector led
by companies like Waitrose which is owned by its staff and management.

Tesco is a PLC. Anyone reading this is eligable to buy a stake.

Major shareholders are FMR Corporation & Fidelity Int (5.85%),
Barclays Bank (4.81%) and Legal and General (4.11%) - all PLCs also.

CEO is Sir Terence Leahy who is of Irish descent and worked his way up
through the company.

Heaven forbid that anyone should give the public what it wants.
Shopping at Tesco is not compulsory. In fact we seldom use the store
prefering eith of competitors Sainsburys and Morrisons.

Tesco is one of the "big 4" which include Sainsburys, Morrisons and
ASDA (owned by Wallmart which is even bigger than Tesco)

It doesn't even come close to being a monolpoly as has just been
reaffirmed in an enquiry carried out by the Competition Commission.

That must be very reassuring to them!

Of course, according to your Fuhrer the Griffin the antisemitc stance
of the BNP is a thing of the past. Future vitriol is to be directed
towards Muslims.

You can't even get that right!

Yes it is odd isn't it. I am no fan of Tesco and choose to shop elsewhere
where I can. Apparently there are people who do choose to shop there. What
happened to the Tesco on Mill Road. Has it collapsed yet due to an absence
of shoppers?

Tesco's doing just fine. Small shopkeepers, f*** 'em.

stay with their no-brainer aims: no more wogs/illegals, or

and no supermarkets apparently!

I wonder where the idea comes from that supermarkets are generally
disliked when they are racking up bigger profits and volume turnovers.

Perhaps some are two young or have forgotten the hey day of the corner
shop.

By and large they were hovels that hadn't seen a lick of paint in
years, lit by bare light bulbs, sanitised by fly papers, restricted
opening hours rigourously applied. Prices were RRP set and there was
a level of civility that set you on edge. In fact, only a couple of
weeks or so ago I was treated in a most uncivil manner by the local
sub-postmaster for no better reason that I can think of other than he
was in a bad mood. They are the ones who are complaining about
closures! Oh well! that's another one they've lost. In future I'll buy
stamps in the supermarket. It's all the same to me!

Contrast all this with a visit to a supermarket. Clean, bright, well
lit, convenient hours, helpful staff, car parking and competitive
pricing.

Supermarkets have not reached their dominant trading positions through
"unstoppable invasions" They are the logical product of progressive
development in retail marketing.

And of course much needed by us, jo public. The small shops and local
farmers never did quite understand the concept of customer service,
treat the customer nice, fairly and with a passion and it will invite
customer loyalty. In fact you are quite right they seemed to go out of
their way to show customers contempt, so we now go elsewhere.

Well done Tesco.

Largely they have done it by being a local monopoly.

Mind you increasingly countrywide as against local as they
systematically ratchet up their prices.

Supply and demand. Ponces like you who farm nothing but contempt for
the public and then moan when we buy foreign need your heads examined.

You have a long, long, long way to go before Jo public will ever
