grandmother from Merseyside has submitted a planning application to bulldoze the luxury home of Tesco boss Sir Terry Leahy - because his firm wants to flatten her house for a new supermarket.
Angry Dot Reid, 58, paid £265 to submit the plans to knock down Sir Terry's £1.6 million mansion in leafy Cuffley, Hertfordshire.
Her own £80,000 housing association end-terrace home would be demolished by his firm who plan to build a huge new shop and a new stadium for Everton FC, in Kirkby, on the outskirts of Liverpool.
She said: "My property is being threatened to be knocked down. It is not a slum clearance, it is only 15 years old.
"Here comes Tesco's again trying to take over the world.
"We want our voices to be heard. How would he like it if his house was flattened?"
Mrs Reid said she did not know of the details of Sir Terry's house - but looked it up on Google Earth.
She added: "It's massive - you would be able to put Everton's new stadium on his land."
Good for you. It's nice to know that Britons are finding their spines again after all these years of Labour abuse.
