Tomb Soldier Tom @tomwd68.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Amused by posts claiming that the Greens going anti-Semitic is the work of "arrivistes", ex-Labour members or "Corbynists" It's a party full of cranks and extremists. Many of them already thought this. Just like too much of society at the moment they now feel emboldened to say it out loud. 000

Their vision of human society is anti-humanist. No wonder the kids are at the barricades. 518073

Tomb Soldier Tom @tomwd68.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I was head of Mail Order at one point. One year the GW owned stores made a significant, loss which was cancelled out by the profit from Trade Sales (independent retailers). MO made a £1m profit that year. So basically Mail Order was the only thing keeping GW in the black. 120

Tomb Soldier Tom @tomwd68.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That's the public reason. The real reason was online discounters without the costs of maintaining a store could discount to a damaging degree. So they introduced terms that gave independents with physical premises better terms. 010
