A few months ago a dip stick at tesco in Lee Mill cornwall tried to wheel clamp me due to my drivers side wheels being just over the bay white line, i could not park any better as the car next to me was too far over also.........after a few choice words from me he decided not to persue the idea.............rather little Hitler he was too..  

   Smack him.

Both Tesco and Marks & Spencer were started by Jews
Ironically both will sell you a Pork Chop or Sausage! :-?
Where profit is concerned, not all religious beliefs take priority

That's the thing with religious beliefs. You can pick and choose as you like and it's considered "not PC" for anyone to question it.

Not against them myself, but they're a personal thing that should not be forced onto anyone else IMHO.

If you have a belief that procludes you from eating / drinking / taking something where's the harm in selling it to someone else who is old and wise enough to make up their own mind?

If the above means you can't do your job, your employer should not make excuses for you, but politely suggest that the job is not for you.

All religion is hypocracy, except perhaps Buddism
I'm a 'Red Sea Pedestrian' who is Pro-Palestinian
The root cause of all of the problems in the middle-east is the existence of Israel, created by the British & Americans to mitigate their guilt for not having acted to stop the Nazis oppression of Jews long before the outbreak of the 2nd world war
We should not have 'stolen' Palestinian land, however the Jewish vote & political finance is so large that politician dares to speak out & has not for 50 years. It is Israel who are the main aggressors in the middle-east - does anyone ever critisise their actions? NO! We just sell them more weapons & aircraft.
(I also eat pork)

In defence of Tesco ( and believe me, I would be the last one to defend them ... but ...) ....

The pharmacist in question is regulated by Royal Pharmaceutical Society Regulations and these DO stipulate that any pharmacist, for whatever reason, can refuse to supply the EHC "over the counter". Had the woman in this instance presented a 'script he would have had to supply as per the terms of the pharmacies contract with the local PCT.

Apparently the reasoning behind this is that when many pharmacists working today trained, the EHC wasn't available and has been foisted upon them.

When supplying the EHC "over the counter" the pharmacist is charged with counselling the recipient and can decide whether or not to recomend the drug and then supply it, or not, as the case might be.

The arguement here is with the pharmacist not with Tesco (who are dipsticks anyway !!  )

Granted, but how can he then cite his own religious beliefs for failure to sell the drug? They're irrelevant. I could understand it if it were a reason related to the recipient's percieved state of mind, etc. on this occasion it seems they were just unlucky for picking a pharmacist who is a bigot.

.. and it's Tesco's fault for backing their employee IMHO.

If tesco want to back this employees religious conviction then they should put their hand in their oversized pocket and have another member of staff on duty at the same time to cover the eventuality of someone requiring the morning after pill.
I was flicking through autosport in Tesco last Friday while mrs Bitz was shopping when a member of staff asked me if I intended to buy the magizine.
I was about to explain that my mrs was filling the trolley with over a hundred quids worth of goods from the shelves while I was borrowing the mag. but I couldnt really be bothered having the conversation.
so I told her that I was buying the mag. and walked off into the canned food aisle and slung it in among the heinz soups.

Now whilst I agree that 'fanatics' are a pain, but before knocking all religious people I suggest you read this:

In spite of my reply above -- and slightly off topic. I personally believe that the EHC shouldn't be available from the pharmacist anyway. At the very least the recipient should be seen by her GP.

Part of the erosion of society today is caused by the removal of consequences.

Great opinion from a male!
The alternatives being unwanted children in an already stretched society!
Yes, there are consequences but accidents do happen, not everyone uses it as a regular form of contraception!
It's not the man who deals with the immediate consequences!
Plus its not always possible to see a doctor within the time scales required!


Do think it's wrong that religion comes into medicine though!

EHT/abortion is seen by some to be the deliberate taking of a life. They hold the view that life exists from the moment of conception, not the moment of birth. In this case the subject becomes very religous/moral, and they argue that it has nothing to do with medicine, but convenience.

It could be argued (and is) that the law actually recognises this, as there is a time limit on abortion, argued over the "viability" of the foetus .... at what point DOES life begin

In all fairness, they have the right to hold that point of view, however they should not try and force it on others, neither should they be forced to accept the contrary view.

Whenever you claim a "right" to do something ... you automatically give someone else the "right" to disagree.

Just a thought .. nowt else ..

Haven't said that it's a right! It's everyones right to have sex, which as a species we do for pleasure not just to reproduce. And as such its a womans right to take steps not to become pregnant should the need arise!
There is far more to real life than religious views, which with all due respect provide no practical support in these situations.
Why should women have to justify their decision to use EHT just because of some religious/moral view?
It's our body and our life therefore our decision!
With all due respect this is not something men can ever hope to comprehend!
Not all relationships should lead to children!
