Tesco's domination is causing protests across the globe. The Bangkok Post reports today of a major protest by small retailers against Tesco's Lotus operation in Thailand. The sad and true news is that if the country goes the same way as the UK, very few of the 1,000 small retailers who protested will be in operation in 30 years time.
This YouTube clip showing Tesco invading Denmark takes the idea to its logical extent (WARNING: SOME BAD LANGUAGE!)
On a related note, the Stop Tesco campaign has itself achieved global fame! We've been listed in internet encyclopedia Wikipedia as an 'aggrieved local community' in the 'Tesco: Criticism' article (reference 51)!
