boycott? Yes or no ?

Mahal, you will be doing good to your granddaughter in stopping taking her to Macdonalds as that fast food won’t be good for her. Why would you want to establish a taste for such a diet in one so young when she would enjoy something so much healthier just as much or more ?

Macdonald have pulled out along with Starbucks and many others.
OP: I think every global company should pull out let the Russian people realise what Putin is doing to them. Even if you think your only a small impact write to CEO explain your reason and boycott every company with a connection to Russia

I heard Tesco were still dealing with them too.

I must admit to having mixed feelings about what McDonalds have said with regard to continuing to pay their staff, Under other circumstances I would think this a good thing, but surely the aim of withdrawing services etc from Russia, is to make the Russian people suffer, and ultimately do whatever they can to get Putin and his cronies out of office, isn't it?

I think McDonalds are being responsible in continuing to pay their staff as their withdrawal is only temporary at present. However being unable to eat their favourite junk food will hit those Russians who could afford it.

But what if Putins propaganda machine convinces his people that it’s our fault that they’re going without.
Just saying ?

I’m sure he’ll try, but you can only fool some of the people some of the time.

you do understand that if you boycott these companies in the UK the most impacted will be British workers who will certainly lose jobs to cover for losses... their bosses have enough money not to worry for ages..

I rubbish them on surveys for reasons of them supporting the slaughter of innocent children in Ukraine

I hope Aldi hasn’t got any Russian connections!!! ?

I thought McDonald's had stopped trading in Russia or have I misheard that

Yes, they have.

Yes MacDonald's have, I think from today.

They have already started blaming the USA and the West for this - if only the Russian people had access to balanced news.

Yes - it’s a no brainer for me!

My sister in law works in asda and she said they have took everything Russian of their shelves and will not be selling

Watching an interview this morning with an editor of an online Russian newspaper who stated that 2/3 of Russians get their news from the state tv/ radio.

Sainsburys, Aldi and Waitrose have removed all Russian products from their shelves.

Yes M’Donalds have bowed to public pressure now. Uniqlo says their clothes are essential - shame they don’t donate them to Ukraine instead then!

I am very glad companies are pulling out. Bombing a maternity hospital is a horrific war crime and I hope the Russian people take Putin down, he is a monster.

If you want to boycott Russian funded organisations maybe start with the conservative party.

pepper59 I trust you boycott every cafe and supermarket in the U.K. for selling non dairy milks - what’s wrong with choice?

Uniqlo have now said that they are suspending operations in Russia - on the BBC website.

I did write to the company and got a reply to say there would be a statement; still waiting for that.

Tui, the holiday firm had, as it’s majority shareholder, Alexey Mordashov. He has transferred his shares to his wife and quit Tui’s supervisory board.
To me transferring his shares within the family means nothing so I hope everyone with a holiday booked with Tui reconsiders whether they wish to support the company.

Uniqlo has done a U-turn now
