    I remember a similar post on here ages ago, anyone else getting de-ja-vue?

    I would write your concerns to the Prime Minister. This practise must not go unpunished.

    You know what I like most about this post...? The plug in the middle about reduced goods. Let's pause in our rant for a moment to remind fellow shoppers "(Just to let everyone know, if you want some bargains, always go early in the morning at about 8' o clock just as they come out with the trolley)".

    Top tip! And remember not to talk to the "Asians". They hurl "racial profanities" at you ("Hey Whitie!"? I'm assuming the OP is white. Could be black I suppose). :D

    The opening post reads like it could be a script for a Rhod Gilbert comedy sketch.

    Why doesn't the OP just go to a different shop? If I went to my local Asda and found it populated by people who racially abused me and staff who conspired to pretend nothing happened I'd simply shop elsewhere!

    Anyway - OP, I'm interested in what the letter from your MP says. Would you mind posting a brief outline here?

    I'll give that a read later on with a cuppa. I see he went to great pains to edit his posts to remove the content, but someone always quoted his posts to preserve what he said. Lol.

    What?

    "The Award Winning Racist Troll Post"?

    ;)
  • Hi guys, believe me i wish i was just joking with all of this, i do go to other supermarkets now, as i stated i go to the asda in dewsbury and other stores around halifax, im doing this simply because i believe standing up for your rights and yourself is important.

    And Shadowknightz - she states that she is enclosing the reply from asda after i asked her to send one to the head office, this was after talking to her previously.

    The reply from asda was from Rebecca Gibson of the directors office. that i had been banned for using racial profanity and that they cant overturn the managers decisions, yet i wonder why they never said i made these comments from the beginning, and why the manager refuses to ever speak to me about this matter ?

    I also edited my posts to add in the content i wrote up after it wouldent let me because of "links" in the first post, spelling mistakes to be corrected, and to remove my phone number.

    Oh and thanks everyone, you have been so helpful, dont know what i would do without you.
