Oxfam, Innocent Smoothies & drinks, Green Periods & others have deleted offensive tweets in recent days. This really is a positive, the pushback is growing larger & the boycott culture sweeping the USA is definitely growing momentum here as well.
Pride is also toned down with many high street companies & independent companies literally not flying the flag.
Are they finally waking up to the fact that customers will actually take their hard earned cash else where if they don't agree wit the companies "ethics" & "values"?
There is positives & the tide is turning.
Certain newspapers besides the Daily Mail have also woken up & are publishing the facts.

Back to the fish argument thought that had been debunked enough long ago. Pathetic.

They deleted it though which is a positive 😁 Love seeing these tweets go up & any sniff of backlash they are quickly taken down!

What did The British Library say?

Trans people are trans because fish can be hermaphrodites.

I'd say ludicrous, rather than offensive. And followed by a classic non-apology, "We were right, but you meanies bullied us". Embarrassing.

Well an email of appreciation should go to the Times, the Telegraph & Daily Mail for publishing the hard truths & the facts.

@mcduffy you should email The Telegraph & to let them know that & hopefully they'll continue with the coverege that's needed . I've emailed the Daily mail☺️ they're playing a blinder & I will continue to buy the dm in the morning as they are publishing what I want to read. Good on the Telegraph & Daily Mail for not bowing down to this nonsense & for not being silenced.

The Times has also been really good on this, and has some great women writing about it - Janice Turner is an absolute star, and Hadley Freeman is now there after leaving the Guardian, among others.

The US navy also removed it's pride flag & Target have been hit big time in the US & have removed lots of merchandise. But the boycott against them is massive.

There's the tweet but they deleted it due to the backlash & pushback much to the disgust of the woman hating woman phobes😂 well they better get used to it! More & more companies no longer jumping on the bandwagon as this month is proving.

I took out an annual telegraph sub despite holding a 13 year grudge against them Grin their coverage has been too good to ignore and no share tokens so forked out £49

British Library also deleted an offensive tweet.
