Supermarkets are very convenient so we will use them - in the same way that same-day home delivery is convenient in 2019. It will take a conscious effort to support small business, but supermarkets are not going away regardless.

The British you are an idiot, you have no idea what's going on. There are thousands in US and all underground in their hidden bases. These things were developed even before the 19th century. It's idiots like you who think it's a new technology. These same machines will be used to tame entire world and that includes you and entire Europe and America as well. Don't believe me? Then investigate about the mount Shasta and it's mysteries. And no they don't have modern trash lifestyle of disco and all but in knowledge and technology far beyond the current human capabilities. The UFO that you saw will be used by elites against you.Its them who industrialized Europe and brought prosperity and wealth to you guys in the form of fiat money. And implemented the same system on the rest of the world in the disguise of colonialism. A lot happened during colonial period but you listen and study the narrative they want you to know. India and China had half of the wealth and economic power especially India. It's the loot from these nations that the elites possess not you. You got fiat money .

Personally I quite like a bit of personality in a politician - it's rare because they all end up being so grey. Boris has personality in spades and he's not scared to have a bit of fun with people. He's also very well educated, I don't see that as a bad thing. I'm willing to give him a chance.

I bumped into him in Waitrose a few years after this was made. He had a bobble hat pulled down over his head and a large collar on his coat turned up. His hair stuck out of the sides of his hat and you could clearly see it was Boris. He didn't have a trolley and was perusing the reduced alcohol basket.

Jeez 😂 this good days Asda Tesco Sainsbury’s Safeway and Somerfield. The Last two are both bankrupt Safeway in 2008 and Somerfield in 2002. We take out our onions and we like to mourn the end of an era for Safeway and Somerfield as they were swallowed up by Morrison’s Plc and Co Op 7-10 years ago ending an era of successful supermarkets and as time goes on, the discounts Lidl and Aldi will get bigger and bigger as they get cheaper and cheaper and eventually under a Labour government everything will be a Half penny (Last one a theory)

Miss when the news would give you more than one perspective and let you make your own mind up even on miniscule stories like this. Nowadays the BBC tell us what we should think about every story.
Imagine being in the shop walking around, not knowing that the buffoon talking to the camera would be running the country in 21 years time.
