Most British Asians are no longer aspiring to own retail premises, they’d rather work in IT or Finance or Telecoms – pay and conditions are better, you don’t get customers calling you Paki bastard and pointing guns or weapons at you quite as much.
Tescos (and other chains) can afford CCTV, rentaguards (albeit by putting up the prices of the food) and keep their businesses running in dodgy areas which is where the bulk of these Tesco Expresses seem to land up in. Its not their fault for all this happening but the scum what go around robbing small businesses (just this week a Sri Lankan dude in my town had several 0.177 air pistol pellets discharged into his face during a robbery)

also i generally dont like huge capitalist chains, i dont agree that they filter the prices down to be more accsesible for the masses, i think a move towards local produce stocked in locally run shops is much more environmental, and i dont think people would have to pay more if this was implemented nationally.
this already exists to some extent
The Co-operative – good for everyone
the linked (but not identical) East of England Co-Op has managed to fight tesco in the market and win across many parts of East Anglia! I see more co-op stores than Tescos in some villages..
Most regional co-ops sell local produce.. Even they have rentaguards occasionally and were being advised by the Sweeney on how not to get robbed (loads of Londonistan youth coming up here having a go).
