I love that official response from Tesco's.
Its logical, witty and definitely in the right spirit of things.
Plus they are right only the Emperor was hooded all the time.
Reading the story I had the feeling they were just going to give a response effectively calling the guy a nerd. This was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
lol im going to go in to the shop with my motor bike helemt on and say im a storm truper :D
my helmet

Do Tesco have this policy with Muslim women wearing veils or burkas?
Some how I doubt it.
Are they a variation of a storm trooper :stupid:Quote:

Unfortunately for this guy he was the 0.01%
read the small print at the very bottom....
Are there any Jedi's here on the forums? Because apparently there are 500,000 members of this "church"!

in the original article i read last week he actually complained that 3 feet from him at the time a Muslim woman in a burka entered the store more covered than him. Her religious right was maintained but he was bullied out of the store.Quote:

The worst thing about this, is that because most people view his religion as a joke, this wont get the same level of backlash or outcry that it would if a Muslim or a Christian etc was kicked out of Tesco for their religious beliefs.
Does the guy think his religion is a joke?Quote:

Actually not quite, there's 500,000 people who took the last census less than seriously and got on board with a popular campaign at the time to force Jedi to appear on the 2011 census as an option.Quote:

Spelling error in the article "Jedis"
The plural of Jedi is Jedi. :rolleyes:

There have been no recorded instances of a crime being carried out by someone dressed as a jedi.
All religions are equally invalid.
This country allows too much freedom - that is the problem.
.. unless you are a Jedi.
Hence I no longer shop at Tesco :(
Thread hijack over to question time on the issue of freedom.
I'm a Jedi as per the census. It's not a joke, it makes several points including the fact that religions are invalid.
