I cancelled my Vogue subscription when they presented a man as a woman for the 100 years of suffrage edition.

I am debating cancelling tv license.

I no longer use Asos or Topshop or M&S or Ocado or Tesco.

I no longer watch CH4 or BBC news or buy the Guardian.

Tesco - just cancelled my weekend delivery & emailed the ceo. Have Waitrose or Sainsburys supported self-id or am I ok to shop with them ?

ContessasGulagSpaDay · 17/10/2018 13:45

The Guardian, the Labour Party, the Green Party, then Women's Equality Party....

Penny1976 · 17/10/2018 13:44

The Labour Party

Ocado, Top Shop, M&S and Lush.

The Guardian

The BBC and Channel 4.

Schnickers · 17/10/2018 13:42

Lush and topshop - even my teen dds are on side with those
Ocado
Labour and will actually join the conservatives if they vote against self id
The guardian - now have a digital sub to the times

I have taken out times and spectator subscriptions and listen to JHB on Talk radio on a morning. If David Davies were my MP I'd vote for him despite never having voted Tory before, will be probably emailing candidates of future elections to find out where they stand on women's rights.

2rebecca · 17/10/2018 13:35

lush, the guardian, oxfam, children in need, I listen to the BBC much less, the Scottish green Party, Lib Dems (were usually my 2nd vote if no SGP), the SNP who I voted for in the Westminster election. I have less respect for the police with them pushing all this hate crime nonsense rather than focussing on actual crime.

pennydrew · 17/10/2018 13:34

Instead of LUSH, I use Hedge Wych, a small business run by a woman, Zoe I think. We LOVE her products. It appears she’s taking a break or updating the site here at the mo, but bookmark it for later. Lush sucks compared to her stuff:

Pamspeople · 17/10/2018 13:27

Oh yes, will stop donating to Wikipedia

Pamspeople · 17/10/2018 13:25

Labour Party
Guardian, used to be a supporter (monthly donation) - cancelled it

Johnbowlby · 17/10/2018 13:25

Ocado
Top shop
Lush
Lib Dems

PenguindreamsofDraco · 17/10/2018 13:22

Lush (although the Rebecca Soposh ones are fantastic)
Ocado
Top Shop when buying presents for godchildren.

On the other hand:
I have taken out a subscription to The Spectator
I now get bath bombs etc from Rebecca Soaposh
I use Waitrose delivery or the local Sainsbury's or the market, so all of these have gained my business as a result.

Bowlofbabelfish · 17/10/2018 13:17

Amnesty, children in need. And oxfam although that was the child exploitation scandal. No more donations to big charities - small known ones only

M and s
Never used Ocado but I won’t in future
Lush
The Labour Party

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 17/10/2018 13:07

Oh, yes. And Lush.

transdimensional · 17/10/2018 13:02

What do people do if they want to boycott the police, GCHQ or other arms of the state? Has MI5 weighed in with its views yet?

pennydrew · 17/10/2018 12:59

I forgot Lush too!

ahagwearsapointybonnet · 17/10/2018 12:57

Tesco will be losing mine after that Metro advert if it turns out they knew what it linked to (the Stonewall GRA consultation guidance). If they claim they did NOT know, I'll need to see them make that public before I go back! And I need to look who else was on that ad as well, and ask them the same question.

Amnesty already lost my cash a while back as a result of this and their support for decriminalisation of prostitution.

Lush because I will NOT be "cissed", and they support Mermaids (and by some accounts don't treat their female staff too well sometimes) - I liked their stuff a lot though so hope they can sort out their act eventually!

Lib Dems I want to talk to a bit more and find out where their local people stand on the subject and whether there may be hope of turning things round from the inside. But they are getting beyond ridiculous now so it would need to be a big turn around, and soon!

The Guardian (though their recent v good article that was shared here was a big change from the norm, and Hadley Freeman is also great, so I may be back someday)

There are some others I couldn't really boycott as didn't use them anyway!

KatherinaMinola · 17/10/2018 12:57

My MP.

Sexnotgender · 17/10/2018 12:52

Oh yes how could I forget about lush!!

Never bought any of their vomitously over perfumed products for myself but bought gifts for teenage daughter and her friends.

RiverTam · 17/10/2018 12:49

this thread has the most recent culprits.

IKeepFlouncing · 17/10/2018 12:49

It’s quicker to say everyone and anyone who has taken a back hander and sold women out.

Every company that sells women out today or tomorrow or next week.

My TV licence is up for renewal next month ( I pay it off at in advance). I can live without live tv so bye bye BBC

liquidrevolution · 17/10/2018 12:48

Children in need
Lush
Ocado
Voting. Was a floating voter but will never vote green or labour or liberal again. Which limits me somewhat!

What has Tesco done? Mind you I shop at Sainsbury's so makes no difference.

Would live to cancel tv licence but can't. I no longer read BBC news or the guardian news. I no longer donate to wikipedia. Thinking I might subscribe to the times they seem to have been good. Have been reading metro online as well.

Duckyneedsaclean · 17/10/2018 12:46

Could someone tell me what they've all done? Not been following news recently. Ta

ThePrincipal · 17/10/2018 12:43

Lib Dem’s. Green Party. Amnesty international.

LangCleg · 17/10/2018 12:42

Mostly charities - all the big ones.

DH and I have also left the Labour Party and deprived them of two lots of subs.

But also M&S, TopShop and Lush.
