Asda Goes Woke Whilst Shoppers Go Broke

I popped into Asda this afternoon to collect a prescription at the Pharmacy and to do a bit of shopping. I know I shouldn’t. I should really be taking the advice of Dr Tess Lawrie and using them as little as possible.

How to Exit the Matrix: Part 1

But easier said than done when you’re on a limited budget and there are many items which you just can’t get from local independent retailers without spending the entire day popping in and out of shops, some of which are not any more local than the big supermarkets and spending twice or three times as much money getting more or less the same products. In my defence, I have stopped shopping regularly at Asda, where I used to shop virtually every week. The quality of products on offer is abysmal and the prices just keep going up. Tesco is not much better.

Today was the final straw however. They were waffling something about ‘diversity’ and LGBT over the loudspeakers as I wandered around the shop, seeking the few items I needed and rejecting those which had increased in price by 10-20% since my last visit. I didn’t really pay that much attention to be honest but seriously, who wants to listen to such woke crap whilst they are simply trying to do their grocery shopping? Not me. I won’t be using Asda again, except for a very few items which I can’t source elsewhere. I used to baulk at shopping in Aldi; it was not a pleasant experience for an up and coming working class snob like myself, but now I do my main shopping there most of the time because the quality and price of goods on offer is very competitive. The Big Four supermarkets are losing ground in my opinion.
