J Sainsbury, the UK's second largest supermarket chain, has announced 1,100 job cuts, poor profits and the retirement of its director, Sir Timothy Sainsbury.
In a statement, Sainsbury said that "it is clear that our profit growth has been severely hampered by weak sales growth in the UK food businesses" and called the performance in the second half of the year "disappointing".
Sainsbury was once the UK market leader, but every new set of results is confirming its number two position well behind rival Tesco - and smaller rivals, like Asda, are rapidly catching up.

 Grassroots Action on Food and Farming : J Sainsbury Plc : Influence / Lobbying
Sainsbury's has a great deal of influence in the areas of government and research, chiefly due to its assocation with Lord Sainsbury of Turville, who was chairman of the company until he was made Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Science and Innovation in 1998.
It may be objected that he is no longer formally a part of the Sainsbury company but he is the largest shareholder, so he benefits directly from consumers spending their money in Sainsbury's, and since he left Sainsbury's only when he entered government, his links with the company are still extremely strong.
Lord Sainsbury of Turville contributes through his Gatsby trust, which is supposed to be a blind trust but since his funding and ownership are public knowledge, one assumes that he might have some idea what he contributes to as well.

Simon Sainsbury and Sir Timothy Sainsbury, made a donation that enabled the construction of the Sainsbury Wing.
In contrast with the rich ornamentation of the rooms that either date from or emulate the 19th century, the galleries in the Sainsbury Wing are deliberately pared-down and intimate, to suit the smaller scale of many of the paintings.
Looking towards the Sainsbury Wing from the main building, this prospect is given added drama by the use of false perspective as the paired columns flanking each opening gradually diminish in size until the visitor reaches the focal point of the vista (as of 2006), an altarpiece by Cima of The Incredulity of St Thomas.
