There are times when these high profile organisations can be too polite in the interest of public relations.
If I were Lord Tesco I would have written an open letter telling him to fcuk off.0 -
That's my local Tesco
I like this quote
"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."
These guys got a beating when a drunk wore a bin liner to look like Darth Vader and joined in with their "sabre light fight" with a metal crutch!

Just curious, would you also tell, say, a muslim woman wearing a headscarf to 'feck off'? Or one wearing a burka? What about a Jew wearing a 'soup bowl'?Smokin Joe wrote:There are times when these high profile organisations can be too polite in the interest of public relations.

I have a feeling he buys lots of meals for one
Anyway, why didn't he use the force and either instruct the Tesco people to ignore him as Obi-Wan did with the guards or do the trachea-crushing thing that Vader did?M.Rushton0 -

What's the difference between religious persecution against Jedis and religious persecution against people of any other religion?
I'm being serious there.0 -

Erm let see - made up religion based on a movie

So, a religion based on a book has more credibility than a religion based on a movie.0

Why does it matter what inspired the religion?
It could be argued that George Lucas was a prophet, and that the films were simply his way of getting the word out about the religion.

I think the worshippers of the Great Spaghetti Monster would have some thing to say about that - a religion is a religion - its just that most of them were made up a couple of thousand years ago0

Generally speaking don't most religions have some sort of core ideology or focus ie: god, Mohammed, inner peace, enlightenment, duping gulible rich ppl out of money etc? They are also quite intangible and need you to have faith. Usually with a set of rules or teachings on how to get there/be closer to etc and these usually seem to involve being nice to ones fellow man... I'm struggling to see how us vanilla humans are going to become sucessful Jedi with a distinct lack of 'force' to help the world with. It seems pretty self indulgant to me.
In conclusion - what a load of nonsense. I thought tesco's response was brilliant. Plus I very much doubt most of those 500,000 are practicing jedi's - watch the movies, no relationships, no sex, must not get angry, must not be scared, frightened, happy, etc, no posessions. Other religions pretty much beat them to it here.... (but granted holding a plastic toy lightsabre is new I'll give them that...)

I take it people like you would feel perfectly happy standing in a queue in the bank behind someone wearing a balaclava. There is a need for security in this country and if that means asking people to remove, hoods, headscarfs or a burka then so be it. This country has got no backbone anymore due to pc pr1cks like you. I was asked in my local asda to remove my baseball cap. did I cry persecution. NO of course not. Why? Because I understood why they were asking me too. And no they probably wouldn't of asked a muslim to remove their headscarf. That sh1t would of made the headlines world wide, with effergies of Tesco being burned in the street.0 -

The guy's an eccentric dressed as a Jedi FFS. He's hardly a threat to public safety. You need to get a sense of perspective.A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0 -
I agree this PC nonsense goes too far - what next James Martin saying he is a member of a religious order that allows him to drive cyclists off the road with his electric silent assassin car?

Tesco is a private company, not a branch of the Social services. You shop there at their invitation, and if they have a rule which says that faces must not be concealed for security reasons you comply with it or take your business elsewhere.0
