No, Tesco did not refuse a British soldier service to avoid offending Muslims

The store doesn’t even exist.

IF YOU SPEND any amount of time on social media, you will see many, many forwarded pictures that make highly spurious claims.

Facebook charging, a baby grabbing a doctor’s hand from the womb and various celebrity deaths are particularly popular.

You may in recent weeks have seen this one:

Tesco

Obviously, people on social media thought this was an outrage and shared the picture accordingly. One version has 3,489 shares and another a massive 7,456.

The story seems quite unbelievable. Which it is.

Says Tesco spokesperson Rebecca Miller:

I have checked with a colleague and it’s a hoax, we don’t even have a store on Oak Street.

This is actually a picture of the Tesco in Stroud Green, London:

004909 Coastradar Coastradar

The hoax appears to have originated on the Facebook page of a supporter of Britain First, a right-wing group that is the UK’s most liked political party on the social network.

They repeatedly share images that urge followers to support British troops.

It has been taken off Facebook a number of times, but pops back up.

Only the facts have been confirmed, a muslim worker refused to do their job and impose their cult practices on the western so-called secular public. Go and have a read about how they are pushing halal food products as the default choice, and how M&S now allow muslims to refuse customers wine and pork, ahh yes the free secular west, under attack from the peace-cult and their adoring multicultural brainwashed leftwingnuts.

    and we all know that the story about 1400 white UK girls from 11 to 14 who were gang raped and brutally beaten by gangs from the Pakistani muslim community was a big lie concocted by the evil racist BNP who have the scary aim of protecting British ethnicity, culture and heritage, monsters. Of course Nick Griffin, did warn about this over a decade or so ago and was brought to court accused of “racism”, (the new witch-hunt cry), and he was vindicated, how many of those girls would have been saved had people listened to the warnings? How much blood do the media have on their hands for demonising nationalists and censoring them?

    “It was revealed last week that between 1997 and 2013, at least 1,400 girls, as young as eleven years old, in just one relatively small English city (Rotherham, population 275,000), had been repeatedly and systematically raped by gangs of men over the past decade.”

    The report found: “Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”

    Why don’t you both answer the question why you never comment on any rape or sexual abuse article in the Journal but now Rotherham has your interest , because of the ethnicity of the perpetrators no doubt. Did you know In July 2014 the Rotherham town’s mayor Barry Dodson quit over separate claims he sexually abused a 13-year-old girl in 1987? He never commented on the claims. Die you know the 1400 victims was an estimate number in the investigaton report , you need to mention that when you keep fencing with it in your arguments. Did you know there were 28.615 helpline contacts and 20.727 hours counseling and support provided in Ireland by the RCNI in a 2011 report, I guess not..

    “I returned to the Batcave via a DC Metro ride — quite disconcerting that black teenage boys and girls have a hard time commanding the English language. Their comfort seems to be with profane expressions — loudly and publicly.

    Walking back, I pondered what is happening in DC. There is a very public disdain, but it’s not towards our enemy. How is it that an American presidential administration finds such ease in inviting groups and individuals affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood into the oval office or our State Department?

    Why does this current administration find it easier to work and align with a Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt but does not support the will of the Egyptian people who overthrew the Islamist regime?

    Why does the president react so vehemently to any possibility of reinstating economic sanctions against the number one Islamic terrorist sponsor in the world — after Iran has consistently delayed the process?

    And why refer to the relationship with our ally Israel as being “destructive?”

    Force of arms? Jesus man half my familys American n 3 friends dual citizens n im nowhere near as immersed in a foreign mindset the way u are..we dont have a 2nd ammendment (thank God).
    As to immigration. .we signed off on every EU treaty in referendums n most of us have workmates or friends who are not citizens…so theres no real argument there, our asylum siituations a disaster but immigrations no way a problem herr…youre far too immersed in domestic US politics but u seem to only get commentary (no clean news) from the far right.

    Challenge yourself a bit and listen to some other perspectives

    Go look at he Snoops.com hot 25, 911 n moon landing theories are not the worst of the stupidity online, youd b amazed at the urban legends people beleive. A recent poll shows 24% of indepent voters think Obamas a muslim, there was an urban legend going around dublin 4 years about a muslim refugee woman noy being allowd on a Dub bus w buggy so she tosses it aside saying the HSE will buy her a new one.

    If the buggy thing was true, there would be a video. There’s always a video these days.

    Ryan – I heard the buggy was a polish woman (and that was from an American on facebook.) It’s so difficult to know who to blame for all our problems anymore.

    We tracked these urban legends as a sociological project. She started as a refugee wiyh Nigeria accent in dark clothes. As time went on she warped 2 fit a moee cartoonish sterotype, she was v fat n wearing bright colored dress scarf and ‘mad big hate u know ehat dey put de buckets a wataaaar in yeah?’. Then she became a MUSLIM African, then it went from not being a wheelchair bus to it being the new bus with an Irish wheelchair user who she tried to throw off…on it went..

    Due to breakdowns and other delays British troops returning home use commercial flights approximately 20% of the time,mainly Easyjet flights from Cyprus. Thank you.

    You mean like how some hoteliers refuse to serve gay couples because of their strong Christian beliefs? Personally I think religion needs to be kept completely separate from your professional life. If you have an objection with serving a gay man, a woman, a soldier or whatever, you’re welcome to resign.

    Why do Muslims come to Ireland and bring their barbaric cattle slaughtering methods with them? Why do they not integrate and STFU ?

    Ryan,

    Firstly the whole point of the article is about false news stories relating to Islam, I am showing how there are many factual news articles relating to Islam. If this was Christianity imposing it’s rules on the public, you would be screaming to the rafters at what outrages the pedos are up to. But you seem to have no problem with food blessed to allah and secretly sold to the public. Christians and other religions are not allowed to eat meat blessed to any faith that does not acknowledge christ as god, so to eat halal meat is blasphemous to them.

    Also halal is butchered in the most cruel way, that in itself should mean we do not tolerate it in the west. Having some other culture force their sh%t on us is not what we are supposed to tolerate in the west. Unless you are a brainwashed multicultural moron.

    I dont care who does a hocus pocus spell over my meat, i think their sky god and youres either dont exist just the same or are the same God and i doubt it cares about minor details.
    Youre confusing banned by the govt n banned by the company, we and the UK are not an Islamic state, so its up to each store to have their own policy, i may agree orvdisagree but freedom means people get to make choices you dont like, so just live with itnimo

    Can anyone explain the attraction that Islamofascist apparatchiks and leftards have for each other? They both seem to revel in the attacks on our lifestyle.

    I believe the true story behind this was a soldier was refused service but it was due to the fact that he was trying to buy alcohol whilst in uniform which is not allowed!! And soo the story gets twisted for idiots who will belive anything because they’ve read it online !!
