Supermarkets – The Cancer of the High Street
Supermarkets are designed to accomplish three main objectives and are subsidised by the State
Have you ever wondered why supermarkets flourish, while their competitors are driven out of business, leaving behind them, deserted, boarded up shops? If so, the reason may not come as too much as a shock. The EU is a communist based organisation, and like the Nazis, and other dictatorships, they cannot tolerate, individualism, or enterprise. To them the collective mind of their clique, is always superior the the individual intellect, or enterprise. They openly state, that they will control you, your children, and what you are allowed to do, say, or think. Food and drink are basic necessities, and by controlling, and limiting their distribution outlets, they can also achieve a secondary objective of destroying full time employment. It is well known that fluoride rots teeth and bones. (That's why dentists love it, they higher the level of fluoride in the water supply, the more dental fillings.) They also know that the Russians add fluoride to water to control the population, it sedates the brain and keeps people placid. Once you control the food supply, you can control the people, by creating shortages and introducing rationing. As well as killing off competition, supermarkets, and other large retail employees, benefit financially, by replacing full-time workers with part-time, job-sharing employees. At first glance, the advantage to the employers is not apparent, and neither are the devastating effects of this practice upon the economy. To obtain planning permission for yet more stores and mini-stores, these companies ice the cake with the promise of creating extra jobs, but notably fail to specify, or differentiate, between full and part-time jobs. The Advantages to the Employers Over 60% of these thousands of part-time workers are paid the minimum wage, and employed on an eighteen-hour-per-week contract. The eighteen-hour week is favoured by many other retail concerns, such as Argos, because: They are not required to pay National Insurance contributions for these employees. Their employees weekly earnings, on an eighteen hour week, on minimum wage is: £108.00 below the Income Tax threshold. These low paid, part-time staff, are often pressured into working extra hours, yet are paid for this overtime at the same minimum wage rate, because perversely, to qualify for being paid overtime rates, they must first have worked more hours, than those normally worked by full-time staff. If a part-time employee worked fifteen-hours overtime, almost double the hours of their contract, they would be paid these extra hours at minimum wage rate. This is pure exploitation by the employers. The Effect on the Economy Many of these part-time workers on the minimum wage, are forced to claim benefits to subsidise their low wages. Therefore, the supermarkets are, in effect, being subsidised by their employees, state benefits. The Treasury have to fund their National Insurance payments, and lose the income tax that would have been paid by full time workers. One only has to look at the boarded up shops in our town centres, to see the devastating effect of these state subsidised (by default) stores are having on retail jobs. With their free parking, and cut-price, state subsidised labour force, they have a built in advantage over their High Street competition. Supermarkets, like the cancer they really are, kill off competitors, full time-jobs and the flow of income tax to the Treasury. All employers exploiting the part-time workers loophole must be made to end the practice. It creates grossly unfair competition, which short changes the consumer and limits their choice. As brands and products disappear from the shelf, we hear the increasingly frequent refrain: “There wasn’t enough demand for us to stock it.” The customer can no longer pop to a local shop, they have long gone, to be replaced by charity shops, fast-food outlets, or boarded shut with, ‘To Let’ boards hanging from them. It has to stop, and a limit of 10-15% placed upon the number of part-time workers allowed to be employed per employer. Only by creating full-time jobs will we ease people off benefits and out of poverty. Our workers deserve no less. |
