    Is it good news?

    The collapse of the independent retail sector, combined with the growth of the large multiples.

    Its not hard to picture the day when the only place to buy clothes, groceries, electricals and music will be in one of the big supermarkets - they are getting all the power.

    Thats the time we will see their prices edge-up as they capitalise on their absolute dominance.

    Bloody hell an article reporting nearly 10,000 jobs this year and we get the above response.

    You say it as though they have cornered the market like a monopoly but then you say the only place to buy clothes, groceries, electricals and music will be in one of the big supermarkets.

    So it means they will still have competition because there is more than one.


    and

    With the internet it is very easy to mass organise boycotts of places/businesses.
