Lord Noel On Prejudism At Tesco

Whatto! Shoppers.......
 

Those Tesco chappies have a supermarket near to where we live.......
....and when I went there recently I found out........
....that there are certain things that they are prejudiced against.
....
One is 'old fruits'.
When I went there recently to get some 'leftover fruit' that I thought they might have 'spare' for me to buy from them at a knockdown price so that I could make some lovely homemade wine......

....they told me "We throw all that stuff away"
"What a shame!" I said
..
..(because I like making wine)......
"Every little helps" they said........
Then I found out something......
.... much more sinister...........
.........for it seems........
........they are also prejudiced against certain religious groups too!


A chap called Daniel Jones...........
(from Bangor in South Wales)
..........was evicted by security staff because of a Religious item that he was wearing.


He argues that just as Muslim women are allowed to wear a veil and burka whilst out shopping...........
....... then he and all the other
390,000 Jedis across the UK........
....... should be able to wear their hoods.
Yes!...
......Practicing 'Jedi' Daniel ..
...who goes out in public dressed as a Jedi..........

 
He claims he was told by employees at Tesco "You are not allowed to wear a hood in a Tesco store" and it was because of his hood....
....that he was kicked out of the store.

The 23-year-old Star Wars fan, who is also known by the Jedi name Morda Hehol.............
......founded the 'International Church of Jediism' in the UK........
.......and he claims that the Tesco ban is a breach of his religious rights.

To support his argument Daniel cites the handbook of the UK Jedi Church......
..... (which he helped to write).........
...... where it states..........
........ "Jedis must wear a hood up in any public place of a large audience."

But he
found out that although his Jedi mind tricks might work on Imperial Stormtroopers...........
....they don't appear to work as well on
Tesco Supermarket Security Staff.
We
can't help but think this would all have been a lot easier........
........ if Daniel had just waved his hand and said.......
......... "This is not the hood you have a problem with."



What's YOUR gripe with Supermarkets?

Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
