Supermarket criticised for WW1 ‘hypocrisy’

British supermarket Sainsbury’s has recreated one of the most famous moments from the First World War in its 2014 Christmas advert to honour the Armed Forces — but now the supermarket giant is planning to demolish a war memorial in Bristol to build a new store.

The Christmas advert is a “creative interpretation” of Christmas Day 1914 when British and German soldiers laid down their weapons and met on neutral territory to share greetings, treats, mementoes and even a game of football.
