Protest snog at Sainsbury's tonight...

(security guard being a stereotypically butch/tomboy type job for a woman)

The one in Sainsburys West Hove is anything but butch - in fact she is rather hot ! I wonder if she'd tackle me if I stole something

I know exactly who you mean, bit on the short side mind. The manager of F&F (obviously I had to ask what the name was) clothing in Tesco at Holmbush is

That store in particular does so much in the LGBT community. I know, I worked there for 3 years.

It's all a great shame because even though the security guard (who is not working for Sainsbury's, is subcontracted by a leading firm) is responsible for this outrage, everyone is blaming evil heartless Sainsbury's and the media is fuelling it all by misinforming literally EVERYONE! I do like the Guardian, but the way they're calling for little short of all out war lately over any sensitive issue is beyond the pail…wouldn't like to be working in that store tonight, as the staff will have a very hard time for what something the Yanks call a "Mall Cop" did when they didn't switch their brain on.

This is exactly it. One security guard, not even employed by Sainsbury's in all probability, decides- it seems- that he/she doesn't like what's going on, or acts on a complaint from some ridiculously sheltered customer. Sainsbury's probably knew nothing about it until the two ladies protested to the media.

Don't get me wrong: I completely agree that what happened to them was bang out of order, and that they don't deserve that kind of humiliation or insult in the slightest, but equally, I can't help feeling that this protest is entirely misguided, and that Sainsbury's don't deserve the slightest bit of grief in return.

Just been there. The woman from BBC South East is in there.

S'all.

Did you snog her though?

They'll be bumming each other up in the bakery section next if you let them start all that snogging and fingering business.

 

[The Large One]

Did you snog her though?

Quite tempting. But it was 'The Big Consensual Kiss-In'. Could have been a problem...

I blame social media. I'm sure everyone knows what you've written is true, but they'll take any excuse for a knees up and chance to cause a nuisance.

Agreed, a bit short but a cracking arse ! I was kind of hoping that the person that posts on here and works there ( can't remember who it is ) might send me her name an number

Don't crash the site.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Brighton does love a good protest doesnt it? Complete over-reaction due to one low paid div of a security guard egged on by an outraged daily mail reader.

Someone can tell me to stop if they want, but I will just write to the papers and arrange a massive gang-bang for freedom the following night.

Your disgusting

 

[Eggman]

I hope she said "wont somebody think of the children"

Whilst SCREAMING for a policeman.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Is suppose it depends if they were a couple of lipsticks or a right pair of rotters.

 

[brightn'ove]

Why couldn't this have happened when I worked there... All we got were anti-Israel nutters coming in to the produce department and ****ing up our red peppers

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Did anyone else's first reaction to this think " compensation"?

Everyone has to punch the air and shout "FREEDOM" when they blow their beans!
