Farmers will be the losers. Sainsbury's have already been turning the screws on producers resulting in cost cutting and loss of jobs. It will only get worse.

It will be bigger than Tescos.

As long as it isn’t bigger than Tesco ( who are set to take over the world, if Starbucks or China don’t beat them to it) then I can’t see there is a problem.
There are still choices, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Co-op etc.

Will this as they are saying result in cheaper goods? What about the promise that no shops will be closed and there will be no loss of jobs? I can't help thinking that these are fake promises that will soon be forgotten. I worry that the lack of competition will result in less choice and that we will be left with a giant company that will dominate the market.
