Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
UCKG Cult members in Iceland
If anyone does not not about this nasty mysogonistic and homophobic money making scam masquerading as 'relgion' then see here http://www.haringey.org.uk/content/religion and there are plenty of examples out there as well.
This manager is not currently available, so i shall be emailing Iceland HQ instead, but in the meantime if you are shopping in there, don't give money to them.

My memory now jogged of my visit to Iceland this week, 20th I think, and young woman working at check out was busy chatting to customer behind me (I was readying to leave) about where he went to church, was he happy with it, why not think of going to another one.... I thought at the time she was rather persistent on this and it was out of place plus delaying him getting his stuff scanned. This was not acceptable till-side chit chat really.
She hadn't bothered asking me about which church I went to..... just as well.

"If anyone does not not about this nasty mysogonistic and homophobic money making scam masquerading as 'religion'".
Oh, I thought you were describing a fair few interpretations of Islam. Whoever UKCG is they don't hold a candle to this:

I had emailed Iceland last week. I spoke to the manager today as they are still collecting. I'm guessing the emails and tweets haven't filtered through yet. I suggested he check out the organisation and did point out there are many reputable churches and charities in the area that would not meet with objections.

I emailed Iceland head office and complained of cult members masquerading as charity workers. Here is the computer generated reply
Dear Mr Foxe
Thank you for contacting us, here at Iceland each year we fund-raise for our Charity of the Year, as selected by our Executive Directors.
This year our focus will be on helping to find a cure for dementia. Iceland will be supporting dementia research at the world renowned University College London (UCL). All funds raised will go towards the development of a vital new £350 million Dementia Research Institute to help find a cure for the disease – which affects one in three people alive today.
All our Store Managers have been made aware that any fund-raising should support this cause going forward. Again thank you very much for bringing this to our attention.We look forward to seeing you in store again soon!
Kind regards
Annalise Hughes
Iceland Customer Care

Goodness me. So not only are they collecting money without the consent of the company, they are in effect stealing donations that should be going to dementia research. What a Christian attitude!

Three young women from this group were endlessly singing Merry Christmas at the tops of their voices and shaking buckets outside the Poundland at the Arena yesterday. Surely must have driven the staff inside mad. I wonder if they were even permitted to be there collecting let alone annoying shoppers and staff.

Reading the street collections regulations on the MPS website, they're onerous and limiting. If the forecourt in front of the shops doesn't count as a street then, just as in the Iceland case, UCKG have snuck under the radar. As they do.

I think it's the Met Police who give permission

As I understand it, there was a dodge which they are fully exploiting.
If you were singing carols then you didn't need a permit to collect. However, it looks like the rules may have changed (See this other article on the Met Police website http://content.met.police.uk/Article/Christmas-collections/14000127...)
If that's the case then it might be worth a complaint after all. They are indeed a dodgy bunch, and I'm sure many are tricked into contributing because "it's for charity" (not realising that this particular one literally follows the maxim Charity begins at home!)
