this is pure bigotry aimed at children who probably never had a political thought in their lives.
this is what david cameron has been talking about signing up to

so much for equality and agreement...are the tories intending to bring us back to war?

I must be tired.....you will have to explain this to me please.

The first website - how were the customers going to know which charity was being raised for if the kids were not allowed to wear their shirts?
If it is not an illegal organisation - surely the customers could simply go to another checkout if they did not want to support the GAA?
Which was the whole purpose of wearing said shirts.

Daft or what?

It just proves to me that northern ireland still has religion issues......it aint never gonna go away eh?

But, I don't see the relevance or connection with the second link you provide?

Tesco should be commended for supporting charities, in general, and it is a shame that the conflicts within one community is detrimental to all the good effort put in by all concerned.
This comment from the store manager though;

"Subsequently we have had several complaints to the store both from those opposed to the GAA shirts being worn and those opposed to the duty manager asking for the shirts to be removed," he continued."

,just goes to show that it's a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sometimes!
