LATEST: Tesco rattled by Christian Voice campaign<\/a><\/p>\n

Nick Lansley, Head of Research and Development at Tesco.com, videoed himself reading James Kirkup\u2019s blasphemous poem \u2018The Love That Dares to Speak its Name\u2019 and posted it on Youtube earlier this year.\u00a0 He has also described Christians opposed to ‘gay marriage’<\/a> as ‘evil’.<\/p>\n

The poem is a sickening account of a Roman soldier taking a prurient interest in the crucified body of Christ before gratifying himself in His wounds.<\/p>\n

Nick Lansley is part of ‘Out at Tesco’, the homosexual contact group of the retail giant.\u00a0 He successfully lobbied for Tesco to give \u00a330,000 to London Gay Pride days after the firm dropped support for Cancer Research.\u00a0 Out at Tesco were honoured by the previous Tesco boss Terry Leahy<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tesco said:\u00a0 ‘Mr Lansley\u2019s comments and postings, made in a personal capacity, in no way reflect the views of Tesco.\u00a0 Our values as a company are such that we abhor criticism of any religion, and we knew nothing about Mr Lansley\u2019s comments and postings until they were brought to our attention.\u00a0 It is not for us to dictate or limit those private views but we do not tolerate statements that insult others or their beliefs.\u00a0 For that reason, when Mr Lansley was found to have posted material on his blog which insulted the religious beliefs of others, he was reminded of Tesco’s policy and the material was removed forthwith.’<\/p>\n

Lansley exploits his Tesco connections in all he does (see the above photo and comments on his blog<\/a>), forcing Tesco to say to another correspondent: ‘We are very sorry that anyone might have thought that there was any blurring of the boundary between his personal comments and his work for Tesco. We have therefore asked him to remove the comments, and he has done so.’<\/p>\n

Lansley also recorded an event in June 2008 when the National Secular Society huddled in a London restaurant to celebrate the repeal of the Blasphemy Laws. During the secretive event<\/a><\/strong> Sir Ian McKellen read Kirkup\u2019s blasphemous poem and boasted about ripping pages which speak against sodomy out of the Bible whenever he finds one in a hotel room.\u00a0 (We aren’t linking to the McKellen video recorded by Lansley because we will not republish a blasphemy.)<\/p>\n

Lansley’s own video<\/a><\/strong> was mysteriously pulled after it was linked with Tesco’s decision to splash \u00a330,000 on the London Gay Pride next year.\u00a0 If the Head of Research and Development at Tesco.com videoed himself or Sir Ian McKellen reading a poem about desecrating the dead body of Mohammed, would Tesco still say that was a ‘private matter’?<\/p>\n

Lansley also embarrassed bosses at Tesco by an anti-Christian outburst on his profile page on the photo-sharing website, Flickr.com, where he lists his employment as \u201cHead of R&D at Tesco.com\u201d.\u00a0 He wrote: \u201cI\u2019m also campaigning against evil Christians (that\u2019s not all Christians, just bad ones) who think that gay people should not lead happy lives and get married to their same-sex partners.\u201d\u00a0 Following complaints to Tesco the remarks were removed.<\/p>\n

Thousands of Christians have joined a Christian Voice campaign to boycott Tesco<\/a> following the firm’s dropping of Cancer Research in favour of London Gay Pride.\u00a0 The retailer’s Christmas howler comes after it was revealed they were secretly selling halal-slaughtered meat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tesco employees, especially Christians, cannot make a critical remark of the LGBT for fear of being sacked.\u00a0 One of our members recently received this from a Tesco employee:<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me open by apologizing for my going through the absurd necessity of using a fake email address \u2013 my employer (Tesco) has been known to take action against members of staff who are identified as making any remarks online which could be considered derogatory. (This is advice handed out by our union, USDAW \u2013 never, ever mention Tesco on Facebook, Twitter, etc). I simply cannot run the risk that my real name would be associated with the comments I am about to make. (which is not meant to question your personal integrity, it is simply a risk I cannot take).\u201d<\/p>\n

Post Script: The Lansley left Tesco and is now an ‘Independent consultant’<\/p>\n

Homosexuality continues to impact on public health.\u00a0 Since Highly-Active Anti-Retroviral Treatment (HAART) became available for those with HIV in the UK, ‘gay’ men have thrown responsible behaviour, caution (and their condoms) to the wind and the number of people living with HIV will top 100,000<\/a> by the time you read this.\u00a0 Each one costs the Health Service \u00a318,000 per year, according to AVERT<\/a>.\u00a0 The total cost\u00a0of HAART treatment is therefore \u00a31,800,000,000 (\u00a31.8 billion) per year and rising.<\/div>\n
