Can someone please tell the Daily Mail and associated numbnuts to fuck off and die?
Seriously.
…Tesco has triggered outrage by ending its support for the Cancer Research ‘Race for Life’ while deciding to sponsor Britain’s largest gay festival.
Some religious commentators and groups have condemned the decision and are calling for a boycott of the supermarket chain…
…But shortly after Tesco announced the partnership would end, the firm said it would be a headline sponsor of Pride London.
This is Britain’s largest gay pride event, and will be adding a second day next year when it hosts the global WorldPride 2012 festival in July…
…Francis Phillips, a commentator at The Catholic Herald, condemned the shift, saying: ‘Tesco is a supermarket. Its remit has been to sell good-quality food and other items at very reasonable prices, and in this it has been hugely successful. Why has it now aligned itself with an aggressive political organisation such as Pride London?
‘Why has it given up its sponsorship of Cancer Research? Or at least…why hasn’t it taken up with another mainstream charity such as the British Legion or Age UK? ‘There are thousands of ex-servicemen and wounded soldiers needing help in this country, and millions of elderly people in danger of neglect.
‘They are a fundamental part of the fabric of our society – the kind of fabric that Tesco should be reflecting.’
David Skinner of the Anglican Mainstream organisation, which supports traditional marriage and family life, has written to complain to Mr Higginson and Tesco chief executive Philip Clarke.
He wrote: ‘For Tesco to sponsor a tiny homosexual minority – according to the Office for National Statistics, that amounts to little more than 1 per cent of the population – will be showing the utmost contempt for a large proportion of British society that still adheres, more or less, to the morality and values of the Ten Commandments.’
For the record, I’m no big fan of Pride events. Most of the time. I think they tend to attract the kinda people who annoy the living daylights out of me, regardless their sexual orientation.
But claiming Tesco have triggered “moral outrage” by adding their support? Fucking ridiculous. Tesco can support whatever causes they and their shareholders want, however much that might annoy the Daily Fail.
An organisation, it should be said, that aside from having a very visible vein of homophobia running through their publications, recently called the unemployed “Feckless”. And who always call Jane Goldman [who has written such films as Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Stardust & The Debt] “Mrs. Jonathan Ross”.
That’s before we even get into the doublethink that is constantly complaining about declining moral standards in the UK, yet devoting most of the “column space” on their website, to stories relating to The Only Way is Essex.
Makes the mind boggle.
