Sainsbury's/Asda mega merger is formally blocked by CMARegulators cast aside assurances from the pair over the tie-up, ruling it would lead to a series of increased prices for shoppers. Great news, this would have been a disaster for suppliers. I am like your boss daughter, Chloe and Grace Murdoch. I am a Head of State. I am the new Queen of England. Queen Elizabeth II too old to held a job as Queen. Ask Queen Elizabeth II to abdicate. I am going to preach Bible to Israel, England and other country. Obey Me, I am going to give England a place in Kingdom of Heaven. Use Bible Verse and People Power to make me Queen of England. Dont be disobedience to me, you can be exile to hell. Ask Prince William or someone to bring me to London from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Sainsbury's and Asda merger blocked by competition watchdogThe competition watchdog has blocked Sainsbury's and Asda's £10bn merger after finding it would lead to increased prices in stores, online and across petrol stations. Good telebusiness Ok never really believed Coupe’s marketing talk about this being good for consumers. However why does the cma not break up Tesco if it has such issues with one supermarket having over 30% market share? So, now both businesses will start to shed jobs and make other cost savings...albeit on their own

Sainsbury's-Asda merger blockedA merger between the supermarkets would be bad for consumers, says UK competition watchdog. Sansa Bury just put you on her list 🤣 Good news as prices would have gone up had Sainsbury’s got their way! Sainsbury’s = high prices but average quality at best Surely the logic of this decision should lead to a forced split of Tesco into two competing supermarkets? Tescome and Tesgo anyone? Or how about Tessco and Claudiaco? It's early and I'm bored.....
