Halifax has told customers to close their accounts if they disagree with its stance on pronoun badges for employees following a raft of online complaints.

They might have misjudged their customer base and shot themselves in the foot!

What do YOU think?

VioletSky the cartoons are unflattering & flippant, yes, but all those situations have already happened and continue to happen.

In the interest of fairness I went back for another look.

It appears two of those pictures have been removed so I can't see them.

Disclaimer, I didn't report and I don't know who did...

But by your own admission, they were unflattering so let's draw a line under that shall we?

Unflattering, not repulsive.

I see you are right that 2 cartoons have disappeared, however I haven't heard anything from GN about that. ?

No, I think they just keep a running score somewhere....
