Do you shop at M&S? Please could you stop?

Zionist ideology forced my father's family to leave their home. I accept few people care or even think there is anything wrong with that. However it matters to me. I do not seek to promote my perspective on a forum such as this.

Oh good grief!

I’m surprised it’s taken so long for the Zionism word to be used on this thread

Rosie51 Yes there is. They have been strong supporters of Zionism and I am not.

Yes of course Farzanah. To boycott is to take a particular action, but to just not use that particular outlet is not. I rarely shop at Waitrose now, not because I’m boycotting them, but because my local store closed (sadly) and so I rarely make the effort to go to Waitrose elsewhere.

Boycotting not the same as just not going because too expensive or just don’t like the shop.

I have boycotted M&S for years..and survived without their knickers & meal deals!

Must admit I only used M & S for the meal deals, now they have put them up to £12 and no longer including the wine I will support the boycott

Is there a reason you've boycotted M&S PECS?

First time in my life I’ve been described as right wing. I’m usually criticised for being too far to the left, my friends would fall about laughing.
I can understand why you were moved by the Ukrainian MPs, and did some digging into M&S which convinced you to start this thread.
I have also done some research, and am not convinced that boycotting M&S is on balance either justified, or will be effective.
I think most posting on here are horrified by the carnage they see on our screens, and are doing what they personally and practically can to help towards the humanitarian support for Ukraine.

Trisher didn't do sufficient digging. She made the leap from HSBC being the bank that is used for M & S banking products to HSBC owning M & S.

It's very annoying when some of us take the trouble to check facts and others don't. This isn't aimed at you Farzanah

The logic employed...

How can people be so ill informed about current affairs when there are so many means of accessing information? Why do they run off on a tangent, based on nothing more than a rumour, without at least checking that what they think is happening, does have some basis in fact?

Yup.

Jeez volver P & O cruises is a totally different company to P & O Ferries

So just for the hell of it I searched for Boycott M&S on twitter.

Found one very angry person saying he was going to boycott M&S and P&O Cruises.

volver

Yes, and about 100 posts have explained why that's not a good idea.

(I haven't actually counted )

And it shows how ill advised the OP was. I do hope this boycott isn't growing in the real world

I thought the OP suggested boycotting M&S

Who should we boycott PECS?

Where there is a will there is a way.
Boycotting goods is something we can all do and it does have an impact. Look at how it brought focus on apartheid in SA.

I am toddling off to my local M & S Food Hall tomorrow for a big shop for things that I prefer from them.

I will also buy flowers for a poorly friend and some house plants for myself, DD and DiL’s

Might even have to buy some new socks and pants on line…

Sorry Farzanah!

But you just know that somebody will take it all at face value... ??‍♀️

That wasn’t meant to be taken seriously volver but just to show how difficult and wrong superficial knowledge about international companies can be when boycotting.
I have no intention of boycotting Pfizer, they may save my life.

Before we jump to any more conclusions...

Don't boycott Pfizer.
