I HATE TESCO!

TESCO possibly RESPONSIBLE FOR UK DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE

let's get Tesco Express out of our communities


I HATE TESCO. 

Because they are doing their damnedest to ensure that the fat guzzling sugar junkies of the UK are so obese and riddled with diabetes and  heart disease that by the year 2020 the national debt will be increased three fold as we open hundreds of new hospitals with super-size beds in order to treat gastric band and bypass patients in their thousands.

This is how the problem is panning out: Tesco are cornering the market on the corner shop, it's one of their manifold corporate Treat Everyone Shitty Cause Obesity strategies designed to preserve their place at the top of the grocery hierarchy in consumer spend, regardless of the effects on the waistlines of individuals, the ugly homogenising of communities and the deplorable eradication of traditional shopping methods where butchers and bakers and candlestick makers have all but disappeared as we stroll to the 'handy' Blue and White Tesco Express to get our vacuum-packed bacon and pre-packed sandwiches.

Yeah, but they're all doing it.” I hear you cry. “Sainsburys and the Co-op are just as bad.” But it's just not true is it? Tesco seem (and perception is nine tenths of the law) to have an Express outlet on nearly every street corner these days, they are the new Arkwrights, they seem dominant, pervasive, like that smell you get on your shoe when you've drunkenly walked home through the park late at night and stupidly taken a quick detour across the grass. The dry numbers support this, there are currently around 1,550 Tesco Expresses in the UK compared with around 600 Sainsburys Locals.

Well, isn't it a good thing that you can get a stale Danish Pastry or a criminally over priced bag of grab n' go walnuts or a barely cooked pale baguette sticking out of a floor basket where loads of germ riddled toddlers have passed and had a squeeze, all the day? Isn't that a good thing, that you can do these things generally from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week, and only a few yards away from your Coronation Street fix?”

the problem
And there in lies the rub. That's what they really are setting out to do, administer fixes to addictions they create, plugging us in to the fat and the sugar and the booze on the way home from work just before our soap fix. We are being engineered and shepherded to perceive their locality and abundance as a good thing, good old Tesco, on your doorstep, with such great (fat riddled) ready meal choices, and “look, huge bags of Walkers Sensations only a quid, and four, yes, FOUR Mars Bars or Bountys or Snickers or every other chocolate bar under the sun, for a quid, so hey, let me get my head around this, you mean I can walk home from work, grab a cheap fatty pizza for three quid, a huge bag of crisps for a quid, and four, yes FOUR Mars Bars for another quid, so I get ALL THAT for a fiver, just 2,500 calories, and I can wolf all this down tonight, maybe with a couple of bottles of oversized deducted lager or a reduced price 2 litres of Coke AND watch Corrie? Yea, count me in for some of that!”


Yea, but it's up to the individual to make healthy choices, you can't blame Tesco for selling it, it's your fault for buying it.” Fuck off. That's like saying to a drug dealer, “hey, that's fine mate, you stand there on that street corner, get your table out, crack, heroin, cocaine, bit 'o weed, nice big bag of Es, pile it on that trestle there, and discount it right down, make it irresistibly cheap, then off you go, no one need worry, we can trust the good citizens of Britain to do the right thing, to walk on by, to ignore the cheap drugs, four good snorts of coke for a quid, don't want it, as many Es as sweets in a tube of Smarties, and four tubes for a quid, naw, it'll never take off, no one wants that stuff.” Well, clearly that is nonsense, within a year the country would be riddled with millions of junkies. And this is what Tesco are being allowed to do right now on your street corner, sell you immorally discounted sugar and fat (read diabetes and heart disease) and no one is doing anything at all about it.

What would I do?

Well, if I ruled the world, and that is the title of this blog after all, I would simply pick Tesco up with a great big mechanical dangly claw thing and drop it into the sea, I would eradicate it from our High Streets, from our out of town strip malls, and absolutely and most crucially of all, from our suburban streets and corners. Just get rid of this greedy irresponsible corporate behemoth altogether, wipe it off the face of the Earth.

But if I had to inject an element of realism, I would firstly put a moratorium on ANY new Tesco Expresses opening anywhere, just absolutely no more of those fucking god awful Tesco Expresses! Then I would begin compulsory closures of at least 50% of their existing Express floor space. I would not allow more than one convenience store of this type in a half mile radius of any other, so, stick a pin in the map in the centre of a Tesco Express, then draw a circle with a half mile radius, no Express or Local of any kind in that area, and then where any planning permissions on the periphery of that demarcation allowed, other retail chains get first dibs (Sainsburys, Co-op etc). Just slow those bastards down, stop the UK becoming just sixty million mouths feeding at the sugary Tesco Express teat.

And if that isn't practicable? Well, we could start by legislating against those end of isles four for a pound discounted chocolate and sweets offers and crisps offers, just actually ban that type of offer and display. Give the fat and sucrose junkies a fighting chance.

WELFARE #1

OPERATION CLEAN-UP

time to get TOUGH on work-shy scum-bags



Why do upstanding tax paying citizens have to live amongst lazy work-shy thieving fat and sugar guzzling scum bags?
Why is it in the 21st century we countenance the perpetuation of this growing underclass of worthless individuals and families, who drain the public purse and who eschew all genuine societal efforts to improve their lot, like FREE education and Job Centres?

Multi-billion pound systems are put in place in an attempt to ameliorate the lot of these wretched people, yet all they do is sit on their lazy lard-arses and cry 'woe is me', bitter with envy and spite towards anyone who does better than they, ignoring all those genuine and real opportunities, preferring to smoke their illegal faker cigarettes and drink their cheap booze and watch Jeremy Kyle on TV.

In your neighbourhood, in your street, wherever or whenever anything goes wrong, you can almost guarantee it will be at the hands of one or more of these Shameless feckless bastards. Broken glass everywhere, litter, loud loutish behaviour, sucking 9% proof cider out of tins concealed by plastic carrier bags, their horrible little bull breeds straining on chains yapping at their feet scaring kids in parks and biting the faces off their own or their neighbours children in time.



You never see that story played out in the homes of anyone with even a modicum of education and self respect, do you? It's always in the World of Leather pikey parlours of the tattooed and half-cut scum bags where toddlers lose their limbs and lives to packs of bull this and thats and mastiffs and rottweilers, crammed improbably tightly into those state funded hovels looking for any space to flop between the stained glass-topped coffee tables and 50” televisions. Snot wiped everywhere and anywhere, skid-marked underwear under dirty cushions, fag packets, crisp packets, chocolate wrappers, toddlers with rotten teeth from sucking juice filled bottles and eating endless sweets, wan tired kids piled high in mouldy bedrooms with dirty polyester duvets and cheap broken plastic toys. Fear, genuine fear of abuse, shouted at, battered, malnourished, uncared for, chastised, belittled, tired, sallow, unloved urchins, five kids, five big dogs, all crammed in, all paid for by the gullible working citizens of this once great land.

Why are we paying for this? Because we are legally compelled to do so, by the taxation system, by endless governments that purport to represent you but then do absolutely nothing with their power that genuinely reflects anything you want to be done. Governments and bleeding heart politicians too timid and mindful of losing their parliamentary seats to say or do anything of any real value or purpose, fearing the shameful liberal media who themselves claim to represent the Voice of the People but who in reality exist only to perpetuate their quasi-Marxist Oxbridge agendas and dress that agenda up with the arrogance of the uncorroborated and un-polled “any right minded person” line.

The Guardian newspaper and the Bolshevik Behemoth Corporation do not in any shape or form represent empirically the thoughts and ideas of any of the Right Minded Peoples of our country and it is sickening the way that they use their headlines and their editorial and their tax-payer funded programmes both fictional and 'factual' to disseminate the lie of that political agenda and to socially engineer in the most nannying and patronising way possible.

What would I do? 


I would stop all state financial handouts and administer food tokens. I would force anyone over sixteen and unemployed for more than three months into work programmes, cleaning the streets of the litter, glass and filth they put there in the first place. Non-attendance or poor application and attitude? Immediate six months in prison.  



I would compel all parents to attend food and nutrition programmes where they would learn how to feed themselves and their families on the prescribed nutrition available with said tokens. Non-attendance? Immediate six months in prison.
I would compel all of the unemployed and all young people beholden to the state to attend citizenship classes where acceptable modes of behaviour would be outlined, backed up by real and painful punishments. Six months imprisonment without playstations for allowing your disgusting dogs to foul public highways and play parks. Six immediate months for any violent conduct however minor, for any anti-social behaviour, noise pollution, neighbour bating, school non-attendance (adults representing errant children).

I would make obesity a crime, at the moment it is a choice, in future, with reference to the aforementioned food and nutrition courses and prescribed food tokens, after a two year introductory period (plenty of time to lose the flab) anyone claiming benefits in the obese BMI range would be compelled to attend government funded exercise programmes, again, non-attendance, immediate six months imprisonment.


I would fund school police forces where unacceptable and anti-social behaviour on or around school property was heavily punished. Poor school work punishable, back chat punishable, poor or non-compliance with strict uniform policy punishable. Bullying a criminal offence, where both parents and children are resultantly punished. No mobile phones or any media recording or playback equipment allowed on school premises. NO litter. NO lateness. NO modern modish lingo, text speak, lol, lmfao, NO innit, NO graffiti, NO chewing gum, NO crisps, chocolates or fizzy drinks, NO back-chat and crucially NO disrespect of the fundamental learning principle.

It sounds tough on our wretched poorer citizens; anti-libertarian, state controlling, hyper intrusive, in breach of their Human Rights and all that guff. But what about the rights of the decent and law abiding citizens of this country to go about their business in clean streets unmolested by these Shameless over-breeding egregious excuses for humanity? Does the current system work? Are we not bankrolling their beer, cigarette, drugs, sugar and fat habits to the tune of billions of pounds per annum whilst decent hard working individuals and families struggle to make ends meet often on a fraction of their unearned income?

I stayed at a hotel in London recently and was amazed and appalled that none, yes, none of the dozens of staff who worked there were British, instead, hard working, diligent reliable foreigners occupied every position from receptionist to breakfast supervisor to chambermaid. Were there no viable unemployed indigenous Brits within reasonable travelling distance of this hotel to employ and reduce the unemployment figures before redress to these foreigners?
The Problem
Because rest assured, there certainly were thousands of unemployed within a five mile radius of Central London, actually unemployable not unemployed. Unemployable because they refuse to turn up on time, refuse to work hard, refuse to work for the money on offer because of the criminally over generous welfare state.

Well, in my Brave New World, there would be no room for any of that malingering or personal choice. Hard labour cleaning the streets nine hours a day for a genuine pittance plus food tokens or compulsory and enforceable local work in shops and hotels and in other menial occupations. Backed up by law. Repeated poor workplace behaviour? Six months in prison. Get the message? Compel the current indolent to work and work well and hard, until the message is pervasive and received, so that future generations know that poor school application and work shyness and reliance on welfare is simply not an option, know that breeding huge families on welfare is not an option, know that all anti-social behaviour is simply unacceptable and harshly punishable. That is the social engineering we require, not the namby pamby Human Rights agenda of the left and their aligned media apologists.

Now I know all of this is sensationalist and designed to be contentious and thought provoking, but the essence of it, the desire to solve some of the modern social evils created by an over reliance and availability of welfare and free money, is a necessary and crucial road we must travel as a nation, and sooner rather than later.


Welfare spending constitutes somewhere around 15% of UK total government expenditure, a figure of around £110 billion in 2014, that's 3% more than the projected expenditure on Education.

Think about it, we are going to spend more money ensuring the fat lazy work-shy have food, shelter, crisps, chocolates, cigarettes, cheap alcohol, drugs and dog food money than we are going to spend educating our children.

"Yeah, but it's not their fault" I hear you liberal wishy-washy apologists decry. "It's the fault of generations of poor Government policy which created periods of mass unemployment, which facilitated dependency." You see this thumb and forefinger rubbing together? You know the rest. You simply cannot run a progressive and meaningful economy based on that kind of sentiment. Sentiment leads to tears which leads to rivers and floods carrying us all away into oblivion. We need some truly hard politics and social schemes backed up by biting legislation that gets a handle on these social ills before it truly is too late. We have to have educated productive morally grounded citizens, we all deserve and need that population. We cannot continue to allow the lowest common denominators in our society, buttressed by weak liberal politicians and politics, to hold sway, to hold us perpetually to ransom.

Perhaps if we stopped valuing our failing democracy so highly and looked to a different political system, most of these problems would be solved overnight. Many more police with true powers backed by significantly stricter legislation and sentencing. "Police State and Fascism!" I hear you cry. Always the fall-back position of the liberal, the wishy-washy, the libertarians who would and do willingly stand by and watch our once great nation sink into the mire. Comparing any strictness, any censure in our society to the Germany of the National Socialists, their bulwark of choice: "Oh, dear (wringing of hands) he said something that wasn't left wing, that wasn't libertarian, he's a Nazi, he's a Fascist, kill him! Hang him out to dry! Quick, get the BBC and The Guardian cranked up, we must defend the rights of the 'weak' to continue to destroy our society." Blah and blah and blah. I wonder though if a dictator would sanction £110 billion expenditure on Welfare in 2014? 

Maybe a superman (or woman) of benign dictators, who espouses the very best of genuine liberal thinking mixed in with lashings of hard realism would do as good a job for our society as the toothless politicians shivering timorously in Parliament manage at the moment.  


This dictator would demand productivity from all, would institute systems to assess each individuals value on merit, not on the pipe dreams of televised talent shows but on the true quantifiable and measurable qualities put forward - 

Adele? Yes, clearly you are a singer, off you go and sing, and make your money and entertain the masses. The Abbys and Lisas from Leamington Spa of this world? No, you are not singers, you will never be singers, so get your lazy arses out of bed and get sweeping those streets and get used to a diet of lentils and bulgar wheat until you see sense and get a grip on reality.
