Central Bristol, with its thriving street communities and local businesses, is now poised for a massive take over bid by corporate retail. On Gloucester Road, we are to have a Sainsbury liquor store. Tesco, ahead of the pack, has 17 stores in Bristol already, with Cheltenham Road poised to be the 18th. These corporations, plus others of their ilk, have bought up many unused retail properties across the city which are currently lying dormant until they choose to activate them. Tesco in Cheltenham Road is therefore only the tip of an iceberg. read full story / add a comment

This is a great idea: people-powered supermarkets. It's a co-op owned by the members - when you join you agree to help out in the shop - and as such the prices can be lower 'cos we're all helping out. So lets have this in Stokes Croft and not another boring dull Tesco. read full story / add a comment

Are any of the actual occupiers of the tesco site (who's bravery forced Tesco into even considering this, without a shadow of a doubt) going to be part of this?

If not, what right have the 'campaign organisers' to 'negotiate' on their behalf? Or to allow themselves to be used as a tool in a local election campaign?

On the morning of Tuesday the 9th of March, 2010, a group of concerned individuals struck back against the coporate invasion of our neighbourhoods by attacking a Tesco store on Church Road, Redfield, Bristol. All the front windows were broken and the simple message, "No Tesco!" was emblazened on the front of the building.

Hello. As part of our 'anti telerrist' campaign we have designed a simple poster that we hope will be the start of getting people together to share their experiences of debt collector bullying.

From this we hope to find out where these phone bullys are hiding - we have been to two offices advertised as homes to debt collection companies to find that one was an empty building and the other was a big block where no one had ever heard of them - strange eh?
