WOOLLIES’ WOOLLY THINKING ON A T-SHIRT
… but clear on halal scam
Has Woolworths just given Aussies the best reason yet to shop elsewhere? An Aussie flag with the words “Love it or leave” is a statement directed at those in the Islamic community who say we are unworthy hosts and want us liquidated, but it is also directed at anyone who feels the same way regardless of race.
The T-shirt was pulled from Woollies’ shelves after the Greens’ Adam Bandt made an official complaint of racism. ORIGINAL POST: Just seen on Twitter: Woolworths in Cairns are reportedly selling these singlets (tweet from George Craig, @heartsR4Love). Divisive and ridiculous — these should be pulled immediately. Team Bandt.
It appears Woollies has a problem discerning racism from patriotism and immediately responded with this blustering apology: “It has come to our attention that two Woolworths stores were inadvertently stocking a singlet that we consider totally unacceptable. The singlet was not one we ordered. It was delivered to us in error and should never been allowed on our shelves. We will review our processes to ensure this sort of error cannot happen again. As soon as we were made aware we immediately withdrew the product from our shelves. The sentiment expressed on the singlet does not reflect the views of Woolworths. Woolworths has a policy of ‘Doing the Right Thing’ which means we believe in fostering an environment where everyone is treated with dignity, courtesy and respect.” – Woolworths.
What a load of frog droppings! Apart from having no moral interest in anything other than making money, Woolworths is also telling fibs, it DID indeed order the singlet because it is impossible to get anything on a Woolworths’ shelf without an order.
“Woollies” is Australia’s largest supermarket operator, and owns these stores: Safeway, Big W liquor retailers, Woolworths/Safeway Liquor barns, BWS, Dan Murphy’s, Cellarmasters, Langtons, plus 316 hotels, Caltex Woolworths/Safeway (Caltex Australia has over 500 outlets), 75% of Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group and 67% of Danks.
Woolworths is also Australia’s largest peddler of misery with 13,480 poker machines. It is Australia’s largest alcohol and tobacco retailer and gives preference to suppliers who are halal certified.
Woolworths is actively promoting and assisting in the halal extortion racket, the greatest ever fraud perpetrated on Aussie shoppers, and if it doesn’t realise these millions in funds are used to finance overseas Islamic terrorism, then it’s been living under a rock.
Is it any wonder Woolworths objects to anything patriotic? So we’ve made available right here a Tshirt (pictured) that Woolworths and the Greens will find thoroughly objectionable and racist!
But going by various polls, Team Bandt and Woollies are on their own!
