Watching a programme about songs banned by the BBC

Heaven 17’s, ‘We Don’t Need That Facist Groove Thang’ was censored because it had the line ‘Facist thing in motion’ after mentioning Ronald Reagan.

Trump makes Reagan look like the Dalai Lama

Thanks Satty. Similar thing happened to Man United.

I wish I could walk into a bank and tell them to give me a loan to buy Liverpool FC for whatever amount John Henry is willing to sell it to me. We can immediately proceed to transfer the club to me because the club itself and it's future profits are the security for the loan. I don't have to pay anything but a few fees here and there.

But they'll never let me do that because I'm not in the club, not the right tribe, not in a secret society, not of the bloodline, part of the club or whatever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I meant the switch to illegal immigrants


Bashing supermarkets for making BILLIONS is an easy thing to do but a company which employees well over 300,000 people (Tesco) and has operating profits of less than 5% of revenue, I think it’s perfectly fine for it to push back against additional costs.

Circa £66bn in revenue and circa £3bn in profits. I wonder what that £63bn is doing and where it’s going?



----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't trust the corporates tbh. You never know behind the scenes. Also, is the reported profit before or after they've paid themselves stratospheric bonuses and given their corrupt mates contacts at inflated prices? Does anyone care or investigate?

At the top they will make money regardless. Its the workers that will pay for anything that happens. Protection for workers is near non existent because it needed to keep up with the evolving cheating of the corporations, and it failed to do that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s plenty of underhand corporate behaviour that goes on, sure. But my point is that the £63bn is going on paying all the producers, all the companies selling into tescos who in turn employ their employees, the 300,000+ of employees who all also pay taxes.

£3bn profit during a ‘Cost of living crisis’.

Now do energy companies.

They’re just trying their best too.

A lot more positives come out of these massive corporations which, for me, justify them making less than 5% net profit.

People crying about them making billions of profit is just reductive crybaby stuff.

If their business turned over £66m and made a profit of £3m, no-one would say anything at all.

Tbf corporates like Tesco do well because they and others like them have cornered the market to what it was 50 years ago.

I don't begrudge them that but the idea they're somehow providing something no one else would if they didn't exist is nonsense. If they didn't exist we'd still need, and have, grocers, greengrocers, butchers etc employing 300,000 and paying their supply chains. It would just be done by smaller firms. So yes, the £3bn in profit does matter, I couldn't give a fck if it's 5. Pay up!

*5%

What a load of shiite. People are narked off with a company whimging about paying staff more and contributing more to the system they make their money off.

No.one is complaining about the amount of profit made by Tesco, they are narked by the CEO saying 'enough is enough' to £200m+ for staff and taxes out of that £3bn.

Oh all while the price of our weekly shop keeps rising BTW.

If smaller firms would do exactly the same as large entities like Tescos, at the same pricing (because guess what? Consumers like to pay less) then the likes of Tescos wouldn’t have the market share they do and everyone would still be buying from their local butchers etc.

Would you care if ALL the local butchers also had 5% margins and also complained for their own benefit? Or is it just because Tesco is a single entity so now it bothers you?

Maybe they should spend less money lobbying
and paying politicians to allow them to pollute our rivers and ragdoll their employees.

Perhaps they should fly economy instead of first class. They should have to tighten their belts like everyone else.

But but but 3b is only 5% margin. That's not enough for some guys to pocket all on their own while actual workers live hand to mouth and in debt.

I'd rather have a butcher on every street pocketing that little profit than Tesco replacing every butcher on every street and a few guys pocketing all the profit.

It's not rocket sconce. This system where everything is getting pryramided will not work and will lead to a lack of peace eventually.

I don't think consumers would disagree with more even distributed of wealth.

It doesn’t have to be a debate about capitalism vs socialism, there’s plenty of capitalists that think corporate oligarchy is a failed system.

It would naturally end up there mate. It’s already been suggested that a bigger share of the profits should be given to the employees.
