Re  Making "dog whistle" remarks and then pretending that you don't understand the meaning of them, is typical of right wing nutcases.            xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    Only a person wishing to use  a posting in order to indulge in one of their favourite pastimes, ie PERSONAL abuse would draw, or seemingly draw the conclusion you have. May I suugest you re-read the other post I made on  the 19th under this thread and realise what an ass you have made of yourself. But as to the wording of the one which you use for another shabby effort on a public forum, it is a well known fact that thanks in the main to your Party, traditional  indigenous population have been told they must not continue with many aspects of our customs and culture so as not to upset the " ethnics", such no English flag,no Bibles in hospital and hotel b/side cabinets, Libraries banning " adverts " for Christmas carols, British Red Cross following the herd by banning all signs of Christianity in their charity shops,etc  etc. How many times have we read  re the demands that an area be declared alcohol and pork free. And the case recently in East ? London where  persons of another faith bought the rectory of a church, then tried to have the church closed as they found the hymnal singing offensive. When the church administators were visited by an Official of the Local Authority he allegedly told them they must be careful as it is a Muslim area / Borough. So you want to defend that sort of attitude, I am against it. Perhaps you can give us several examples of countries abroad that adopt the same attitude against their people so as to protect their Christian aliens. And the poor Christian woman who lost her job a few days ago as she offered to pray for a person. What another sicko not only to object to that but obviously officially complain about it. Beggars belief. When  a few years ago my father was nearing the end of his earthly life, a close devout Pakistani Muslim friend offered to pray for him. Did I object, of course not, I welcomed any " help " from whatever source, be it any denomination of Christianity, Judaism or Islam. An Indian family near me, escapees from East Africa who have known me for 25 + years once referred to me as a member of their family.        So I would redraw your battle lines, as your current ones make you look like an idiot spewing out a lot of ill-informed tripe.      That there are few people in Southall " like me " as you put it, ain't surprisin.

Can we lay off the racial bit please?    Some of you seem to delight in building elaborate "well of course they don't want to offend the immigrants" conspiracy theories out of nothing.  The last reply above seems to be just another example of this - of course the only reason "they" don't spend hundreds of pounds on a large tree is due to secretive politicial correctness pressures, all of which (if I read the heavy ha nded sarcasm about pigmentation) can be somehow traced back to immigration.  Yeah, right.This is just sad delusion - it's easy to talk yourself into resenting immigrants if you keep inventing completely fictitious reasons for doing so.Let's get real.  Tesco is a commercial company, with responsibilities to its shareholders, not to you.  Its main HQ is now well out of town, so the Hoover Building is not even its flagship any more.  My brother-in-law works at their HQ so I can tell you (a) there is a Xmas tree in the lobby, so there isn't some Tesco-wide fatwa on the things. (b) it is pretty small, and has (I think) the office staff presents under it.  It's purely there for internal staff morale purposes.In other words if that's what they do in their current HQ, there's no logical reason for them to spend far more on a much more expensive large external tree in their old building which is now only a store.  If I was a Tesco's shareholder I'd be annoyed if they did so.This supposed 'deal' to maintain a large tree on the A40 is of no relevance to anyone, probably long-forgotten, and there's simply no real reason for them to spend any money at all on it.  It's a straightforward commercial decision and all these intimations of "oh, of course they wouldn't tell us the reason" and "non-pigmented, nudge nudge wink wink" are nothing more than loony-right self-indulgence. Not everyone in the world thinks in the deranged way you want to believe.
