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: http://www.theinsider.org/news/article.asp?id=2138 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[..] The Jew in Character and Business, by Henry Ford (of car fame) http://www.jrbooksonline.com/Intl_Je...rsion/ij01.htm 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. www.iamthewitness.com www.davidduke.com www.bnp.org.uk |
