Default Tesco: A Multicultural Problem

Tesco is here in Britian to do one thing and one thing only: Exploit.
Tesco is an example of foreign exploitation of native wealth. If a
business is not of the people it will not be for the people. Tesco was
founded by son of Jewish sailor Jack Cohen, grandfather to heir of the
Tesco fortune Dame Shirly Porter of "Homes for votes" scandal infamy:

Read on to find out how the problem of Tesco is a symptom of
multiculturalism.


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.
