For those who don't know, Belper Against Tesco Store is a group set up to oppose the planned Tesco Store [the clue's in the name]. The proposal has cause much controvery - as such proposals do.
Now every action, it has been said, has an equal and opposite reaction. I was amused, then, to see the recent poster campaign around Belper.
A new protest group against a Tesco superstore in Belper has been putting sarcastic posters up all over town. The group's name TABS, Tesco Against Belper Shops, is a play on BATS protest group Belper Against Tesco Superstore.
The poster is advertising a family day trip this Sunday (September 9) to Tesco's store in Alfreton.
It says: "The aim of the trip is to show Belper people what they could have built on some scrubby waste ground, just far enough away from the town centre so people will never have to walk up King Street again."
A spokesman for BATS, the group that is protesting the Meadows Edge site development, said TABS are nothing to do with them.
Whether you are for or against superstores - and specifically this one - you gotta love the noble art of parody.
