Supermarket chain Sainsbury’s has asked staff to consider delaying their Christmas party’s until early in the new year. The company said today that it is concerned about the emergence of the omicron covid-19 variant.
According to the BBC this lunchtime:
The supermarket said the situation was “very delicate”, adding “we need to do everything we can to make Christmas safe” for staff and customers.
Sainsbury’s boss Simon Roberts said the firm “will make sure no-one is out of pocket as a result of this decision”.
Sainsbury’s said it took the decision to delay Christmas parties after discussions with its store employee representative group.
Mr Roberts said: “We are doing everything we can to protect Christmas for our colleagues and our customers and keep everyone safe.
“As government guidance on face coverings changed on Tuesday (30 November), we have gone above and beyond to put safety first and have asked all of our colleagues to wear a face covering both on the shop floor and in all colleague areas.”
There isn’t a shred of evidence that omicron even exists. However, if we accept that it does exist, it should be noted that the scientists who identified it have repeatedly stated that it is harmless.
But then none of this was ever about a virus was it?
Of course, the good boys and girls of Sainsbury’s will happily surrender their Christmas party’s. Very few of them will question any of it.
It’s open tyranny now, as I’ve said a thousand times.
