Bully boys to be investigated

The large supermarkets are under investigation for using bully boy tactics in the High St. Under investigation will be their tactics in buying up small sites and driving out genuine small convienience store, the relationships with suppliers, the building up of 'land banks' to prevent other competitors moving into the area and to see whether or not supermarkets "prevent, restrict or distort competition" in local areas. As potential witnesses are being assured of their anonimity, lets hope that enough small suppliers, businesses etc will come forward so that the predatory tactics of the big 4 can be shown in their true light.
