Boycott Cohens

Tesco has announced huge profits for another year, in the billions.

A great programme on BBC1 TV last night (Shopping the Supermarkets) showed how Tesco's was due to destroy the traditional nature of yet another English town which had a thriving, traditional high street (and Friends of the Earth explained how Tesco's bribes local councils).

I used to run a shop in a small town, a stone's throw from Slough and Eton (what an unequal pair!), which was hit by supermarket opening.

I have seen the damage done. I have seen a community destroyed - a town centre by-passed by roaring traffic en route to the 'stack em high, sell 'em cheap' philosophy of the supermarkets.

No need for local expertise. No need for personal service. No need for small businesses. No need for businesses that pay local suppliers a decent price.
BOW DOWN AT THE ALTAR OF CAPITALISM YOU PROLES!

£1 in ever £8 "we" spend, as a nation, is in Tesco's!

What an indictment of modern Britain.

Would quite so many nationalists, patriots etc. shop at Tesco's were is named after its founder instead of a bizarre amalgamated name.

The next time you, your spouse or a relative say "we're going to Tesco's" tell them I AM BOYCOTTING COHEN'S SHOP.

In the short term, if you must, seek out another supermarket. In the medium term, seek out a medium-sized supplier if you must.

But why not try using some small, localised businesses from time-to-time?

Local butchers and fruit n veg barrows, just two examples, can offer great value for money, and offer good knowledge and value.

Shop around! Search out a good farmers' market, or a town that holds a market day...

There are alternatives!

Please don't shop at Cohen's [aka Tesco's].
