If you're going by names, the leaflet in question was made by the less ethnically-diverse-sounding Roger Spencer, according to its mandated blurb.
Maybe I'm the prejudiced one, but that sounds like the sort of man who sports a short back and sides.

I thought the singing sainsbury's boss was something.


He's not an MP whose done dodgy deals, not broken any laws(maybe) and is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing and singing a little light hearted song that happens to describe what he is doing, so why apologise? Its almost as if he does, at the same time realise the whole setup is a total sham, that a situation where he employs a huge number of people on the smallest wage he can to reap the most money he can from as many of the rest of the people as he can whilst putting people out of work and business all so he and a tiny select few can be unbelievably filthy wealthy is something offensive when made light of. Like maybe, its a bad thing and everyone knows it is but... nah never mind.

it's not what he is supposed to be doing - to the crowd to whom this matters, i.e., the wealthy class, there is always a fear that mergers are good for management but not for shareholders. But that's going to be a distinction without a difference from the pov of capital vs labour

I'm assuming you mean the shareholders of the buying company, since the shareholders of the company being bought presumably just got a fat loving payout (or they wouldn't have gone for it)

walmart is being paid 3bn plus shares of the merged entity valued at 4bn, so it's not like they're indifferent to the judgment of Sainsbury plc on how the merger will shake out

"gone for it" is tricky. walmart owned it wholly, it's not like shareholders were given a vote, never mind a buyout.

"walmart was underpaid hilariously" is consistent with "the management is taking a hefty slice of that difference", ofc. But I underscore that I know v little about the deal: I am only seeking to explain the nerve that was struck here

If Sainsburys is a 21 day dry aged sirloin steak, Asda is an own brand frozen steak bake. I mean, obviously both are poo poo on the shoe of Waitrose, but I've not thought through the analogy enough to place them as a meat product.

Anyway, point is Sainsburys buying out Asda means they need to be very careful not to alienate the customer base, and singing "we're in the money" may drive a few of them into the welcoming arms of one of the other four letter supermarkets. Its all about the optics!

The West Tyrone by election is coming up this week as well, safe SF seat but the SDLP candidate is leaning hard on abortion as a doorstep issue - that is talking up the SDLPs staunch pro life credentials over SFs campaigning for repeal south of the border.

Ah, the sister party of Labour

First glance that looked like a blissfully unaware dick being shoved bellend first into the flame from a tiny bunsen burner, which is a good brexit analogy.

We talk poo poo about the Blairites backstabbing Corbyn but let's face it the equivalent in the Tories, the Cameronians, have been hilariously effective in making GBS threads on May.
