Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and T.esco !

[Richard]

I see that Hugh has purchased a fairly hefty stake in Tesco Shares and using his financial (and 'celeb') weight to raise Motions to change their food policies.

Interesting, kind of fight from within.

Also interesting that The Telegraph put it in their 'Celeb News' section!

Thanks for that gem, the fight goes on and there are those folk who’ll put it down as a self publicity stunt to try and sully his reputation but in this case I believe that any publicity is good. (With the current government being so unpopular they might just rush through a bill banning intensive farming if they think that there’s a vote in it. Fingers crossed)

He's sent out an email to those who signed up to the chicken out campaign, asking those who are already shareholders to give him their proxy if the motion get put at the meeting. And a blurb from some investment broker offering to buy you a (some?) T esco share (s) for £30.

oh

I can put them (the shares) to some use then

Sorry - I have a chequered past

[Richard]

Behind every sign up, there's something else planned - and think of all those email address's in the database now!!

It will be interesting to watch though.

Hi

I love fearnley whittingstall, he is the reason i became a chook keeper, since the chicken out campaign i wanted chickens, and discovered this website. So he has changed my life to some degree, and i have nothing but praise for him.

Looking forward to the new river cottage tonight.

At least he is doing something i hate tes*o, i have one on the corner of my street, its so expensive, and not very good either its an express store, if it wasn't for them we would have a local shop.
I do use it for some stuff though. Sorry
