we have had morrisons this week already. and sainsbury‘s. what are we expecting?m have corrected their game in terms of availability, productivity and everyday low prices. that is telling us it is a successful strategy. notjust prices. that is telling us it is a successful strategy. not just over christmas, but over the course of the last 18 months. when we talk about the likes of tesco and sainsbury is and morrisons, it is about how we have changed our shopping habits. there is a tendency to pick things up on the way home. that is the story in the city. we are doing it in a different way. that is the story in the city. we are doing it in a different waym is split now. shoppers are now value conscious. they look on line and pick up some goods from some stores and others on line and others from their traditional supermarkets. a next. things may be different. we may actually see positive clothing sales for the first time in a year for mns. they have been through a difficult steer period. good has done well but they are trained to do things differently. —— food. done

morrisons and said it sold 25,000 tonnes of wonky vegs last year.ferent types of fruit and vegetable that we sell which is out of normal spec, why we are selling more is because customers are more interested in the whole agenda and want to buy more of it so they can buy it at a lower price or in a bigger bag. but particularly because we have taken the extra step to market it, it's driven that kind of interest in the customers and if you will, pardon the pun, it is feeding the interest. but, said a conservative committee member, . .. i wonder why you call these vegetables wonky or misshapen or less than perfect. they are perfect, they're just a different shape. and i think you're contributing, or i wonder if you are contributing to the problem, by referring to them as some kind of weird by—product. wouldn't it be better simply to sell them as they are? because that's what they are — perfectly good and nutritional. why don't you do that? i think it helps customers to work out what they're buying in store so by designating them in a particular way it i

in terms of -- the example the jackson morrison went through, or criminal surity where somebody coulde to a court and pay your fine and buy you out is that you not only would have an extension of your time, people would basically cook the books, and you would never get out of that debt. also, you have the threat of being killed or imprisoned if you were to try to leave. so, it was not only the extension of the time, the temporal aspect, but there was also the real terrorism that black people endured as a result that ended up in mass killings sometimes, rape as a de facto form of punishment by the master or by the company because we know that companies like u.s. steel took part in this neo slavery formations in places like alabama and tennessee. so, this was a large complex of not only labor, the acquisition of black labor but also terrorism against black people, a re-fabrication of white supremacy which is very important not only the fact that it was happening in the southern u.s. but this was all validated by the national government structure and by the very amendment to the u.s. con

and i write a whole chapter on toni morrison's novel beloved in which one of the main characters, paul is put on the chain gang. and he's put into this kind of tomb-like structure, and she taking her artistic license actually puts the cage underground. but in reality the cages that that scene was based on were movable and mobile. and the reason why they were movable and mobile was that these neo-slaves, as i call them in the book, or prison slaves were at work building the entire southern infrastructure that had been really decimated with the civil war, but also trying to move the south into the new south paradigm of an industrializing more in the northern image of an industrial kind of formation. and so the railroads, the highways, turpentining, mining, all of these new industries were largely made up of workers, per se, that were actually prison slaves. and the chain gang system was mostly for people who had, who were convicted of misdemeanors, sometimes who couldn't pay a fine. so literally what was criminalized was your poverty, landlessness and dispossession. but it was very much

to a robert snodgrass goal but hit back after the break — chris brunt, gareth mcauley and james morrison for tony pulis's side at the hawthorns. so just one other result to tell you about today. bit of a non—event in the lunchtime kick—off middlesbrough drew 0—0 at home to leicester. that result means the reigning champions are still without an away win this season. here's how the top of the table looks: liverpool five behind chelsea who face spurs on wednesday. manchester city back to third. fourth—placed arsenal are at bournemouth tomorrow. at the bottom of the table, a point for sunderland, but they're still in the relegation zone. hull city also stay in the bottom three. palace face swansea tomorrow which will have a big impact in the releagtion battle. tow other sides in the bottom half, stoke and watford also play each other tomorrow. swansea are managerless at the moment paul clement is expected to be in the stands at selhurst park for their match against palace tomoprrow bayern munich, for their match against palace tomorrow bayern munich, where he is assistant to carlo ancelotti

chris brunt and gareth mcauley cashed in on errors before james morrison clinched the win for the baggiesgiven hull a first—half lead, but the tigers really with only themselves to blame in an error—strewn second half with some costly defensive mistakes. we are taking nothing for granted. it is such a tough week. you have seen it again today. you would think a whole would come here, and no disrespect, a stroll in the park. but the players were absolutely fantastic and never stopped going. that is what the premiership is like. we can't take our foot off the pedal or anything for granted. we are what we are, and unless we put com plete are what we are, and unless we put complete focus and effort and energy into what we are trying to do, we will not get results. in the early kick—off, it was a bit of a no—score bore—draw between middlesbrough and champions leicester city at the riverside. that point does move claudio ranieri's men up to 14th while boro are two places and two points further back. not a huge amount to talk about, although leicester did have a chance to win it in the final minu

to a robert snodgrass goal, but hit back after the break — chris brunt, gareth mcauley and james morrison pulis's side at the hawthorns. we are taking nothing for granted, this is such a tough league. you think it would be a stroll in the park today, but mike and their players were fantastic and never stopped going. and that is what the premiership's like. so we cannot ta ke premiership's like. so we cannot take anything for granted, we are what we are. and unless we put complete focus and effort and energy into what we are trying to do, we will not get results. middlesbrough and leicester played out an uneventful goalless draw at the riverside, where there were just five shots on target. boro had the best of the chances — marten de roon blasted over early on. the closest leicester came to scoring was this leonardo ulloa header, straight at brad guzan. still no away win in the league for the champions this season. gaston ramirez should have won it for middlesbrough with eight minutes left, but he smashed wide. let's see how all of those results translate in the table. 0ne one result to co
