Our current leaders are basically useless and have taken the country into HUGE debt and are number 1 on the PH hate list

Tescos on the other hand make a huge profit but are about number 2 on the PH hate list


So given the choice between our glorious current leaders or Tescos buying the UK who would you have

Oddly, I remember sitting in a share club meeting a few years ago and my cousin saying we should buy heavily into Tesco.

When we quizzed him why, he said "because they're taking over the world"

We've done quite well, and it seems he isn't far wrong hehe

It's like asking whether you'd want to be shot or stabbed.

Nothing could be further from the truth actually.

That's like asking if you'd rather be condemned to a life enslaved by taxation and regulation or not.

This one is a difficult decision, one is an underhand, money stealing, slave driving, bullstting hate inducing organisation and the other is Tesco which is virtually the same!

What a nice analogy

As i am sure if the government where in the business of buying carrots and i am sure they are somewhere i bet they pay ALOT more per carrot then tescos

And maybe thats why I'd rather have tescos running the country then politicians

Tescos might even outsource our unemployables to india

Buying the UK?

Probably Tesco then. They seem able to run a business and don't p**s money away in the same way.

Have any of you dealt directly with Tesco? They would rape you more than the government. they are professionals, the men in suits aren't!

Tescos. I reckon we already get "Value" brand services from this government. Maybe I'd pay a little extra for a "Finest" police force or armed services.

There's a Tesco near me.

Can't say I've ever heard of Tescos though.

They rape their suppliers and pamper their customers.

Much better than the government who pamper their suppliers and rape their customers.
