Yorkshire Tea boycott

Sorry Sirchengin whilst as far as I am aware no MPs have waded in, on checking some of the "twitter bios" of those posting outrage they all have Labour supporter in their profile.

Or as GG had the evenhandedness to imply, whether the political right had. There is absolutely nothing to choose between all political tweeters in terms of the depths they achieve ( and the heights with the good ones).

What a load of rubbish. This left-winger has a STASH of Yorkshire tea which she is DEFINITELY am not giving up.

Stop trying to stoke controversy where there is none.

Smileless2012 - it’s already been explained. The political left had nothing to do with this Twitter storm.

Well I am happy to laugh at my faux outrage and obviously I should have fully researched before my OP.

I think the only biscuit for dunking is Rich Tea all though all the GC outvote me as for them I have to buy the caramelised oblong biscuits in Aldi which are copycats of the posh ones that come individually wrapped in coffee-tea shops

Storm in a teacup.

I loved that song

Exactly maddy.

Shock, horror - idiots tweet on Twitter. Nothing new there then.

Storm in a teacup.

Oh yes SirChenin, I agree, Chocolate Hobnobs. Yum

It's not about abusing Yorkshire tea suziewoozie it's about whether or not the political left have better things to do.

I don’t care if they’re left, right wing, or no wing at all, it’s all fuss over nothing. It’s tea, for goodness sake.
I think I’ll go and make a cup.

* pointing out that when Jeremy Corbyn posted a similar picture in 2017 they had a similar response from right wingers.*

Can we have some evidence of this please?

Because I can't find any

Yorkshire Tea is one brand which is still available as loose tea, not just tea bags. We prefer proper tea, made with loose leaves in a teapot. Dangling a teabag in a cup of hot water is just not the same.

If we're going to be political, how about this - "why do communists only use tea bags? - because proper tea is theft". Boom, boom.

Twitter is a vile place Oops and none of the vile or abusive messages on any of the millions of threads on there are acceptable - no-one has said they are. The sooner Twitter and the other social media platforms are forced to address this the better imo.

maddyone it’s got to be chocolate hobnobs. A good sturdy biscuit that doesn’t disintegrate when you dunk it with the lovely melted chocolate on it. Delicious.

It’s not OK for anyone to abuse Yorkshire Tea but then look at the level of abuse and vile comments thrown around on GN to DA, MM, TB As a forum we’ve nothing to feel proud about.

No, that can't be right Davidh, it's 'Yorkshire tea for Yorkshire water' isn't it?

I’m listening to the story on LBC at the moment - I’ll try and find a link.

But it's not very pleasant for the people at Yorkshire Tea, is it?

Or does that not matter?

Some of the messages are quite vile

But I suppose it's OK to some people

Thanks GG for your follow up post, giving the full picture.

Suzie, what’s his trousers got to do with it, please explain

Suzie

And at least , he hadn’t pulled his trousers down

SirChenin, what’s your favourite dunking biscuit? Mine has to be Rich Tea.

Oh dear me, it’s like SirChenjin says, it’s all a storm in a teacup. My favourite tea is Tetleys, am I allowed to say that? I’m not advertising, it’s just my favourite.
I don’t use Twitter, whilst I have been assured that there is useful stuff on there, I tend to only hear about the silly, or worse, the plain nasty or the death threats etc. I think it gives a platform to people, who are of a mind to do it, to behave in a way that would be out of order, or even maybe illegal, if spoken directly to the targeted person.

Was his choice of dunking biscuit revealed?
