Wickes: “Everyone is welcome at Wickes. We are proud to be an inclusive home improvement retailer and are committed to building a workplace and culture where all colleagues and customers can feel at home.”

Also Wickes: people who believe sex sometimes matters are "not welcome in our stores"

It's that sort of logical consistency that's winning hearts and minds throughout the country...

A little update for you all on this, Wickes tried and failed to shutdown the boycott wickes website. They made some serious allegations of criminality against the founder and the site all of which were found to be without merit.

DIY giant Wickes fails to shut down website accusing it of being ‘woke’

Now it faces accusations of trying to stifle freedom of speech in trans row

Probably not just supporting…..

Show quote history

Yeah, i'm sure that's a part of it for a lot of these men. MPs, the police, the lot.

They have ignored me too. Cowards.

Me too, guess they only reply to people who say things they want to hear.

@Ourladycheesusedatum go big or go home, tell 'em about the housing estate you were getting quotes for 😁

On the other hand, you're probably right. We should leave the barefaced lies to the tras.

It sounds like he's the ignorant one, to be honest.

Does he really support putting rapists in women's prisons? Or decimating female sport? Or allowing middle-aged cross dressers to disrobe in front of 12 year old girls?

Probably not just supporting…..

They don't know that! Tell 'em anyway.

Hmmmm it'd be straight up lying.
And I dont imagine they would be much bothered about my replacement wood for a bench, some compost and a few flowers.
Less than a hundred quid.

However if wickes was the closest to me I would drive many extra miles to use b and q now.

Decisions decisions.

I dm'ed wickes on social media last week and they still haven't replied. Now I'm just telling them every time I make a purchase I could have bought from wickes but bought from elsewhere!

Oh I love this.

Sadly I always shop at b and q cos it's the nearest by miles. I've rarely been into a wickes, I'm not about to start.

wickes will get through it. Of course, they may have some staff changes or at least policy and strategy changes in the future though.

Bloggss · 20/06/2023 11:25

Calling people Bigots because they don't Gree with the latest craziness ((biological sex can be changed etc) is hilarious. We need to keep challenging this madness, and i don't need Wicks to try and tell me how to thing, like most people, I will continue to challenge the madness.

Looks like it's still in decline.
Couldn't happen to a nicer company.

And JHB did a segment,she too is boycotting wickes.

I'd be amazed if they get through this.

Redshoeblueshoe · 20/06/2023 06:46

I complained to them on the 15th, still no response, just 3 automated responses - we will reply within 48 hours.

I think they will just ignore the emails for now and probably forever

Apparently they have been told to tell everyone that the comments were "taken out of context".

https://twitter.com/JamesEsses/status/1669735774248476673

Note that the full video was available on YouTube, but it's been taken down, so they don't want people to watch it with the complete context?

Maybe it's worth asking them, "you have been told to tell people it's been taken out of context, how exactly has it been taken out of context?".

I see it's being left to two women to deal with the mess their boss created.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 19/06/2023 16:42

That's the obvious next question, isn't it? 'OK, how?'

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 18/06/2023 10:45

Any sign yet of this statement putting what he said it its proper context?

I have emailed them to ask the question. They need 48 hours to respond (think of an excuse).

BabyStopCryin · 18/06/2023 11:29

What is his deal exactly?

nothingcomestonothing · 18/06/2023 11:24

Wow LOJ really going mask off there! 'Freakshow'? Much kindness, so inclusive.

LGB did try to organise without the T. LGBA have been subject to untold abuse for doing so.

Surely even those who support OJ will see how wrong these statements are?

Calling people who are same sex attracted a freak show?!

'Show us what a freakshow you are'.

So lesbians, gays and bisexuals are a freakshow?

Datun · 18/06/2023 10:10

There is no LGB without the T.

What binds LGBTQ+ people together is we all suffer bigotry because we are defying the expectations attached to the gender on our birth certificate.

Lol, in that case F for feminist should be on it!

And T should be removed purely on the basis that every man I've seen who identifies as T, couldn't conform more to stereotypically male expectations if you paid them.

I know OJ just likes to rile his audience, and stoke their ire towards women, but surely, even they will get bored of the obvious paucity of his arguments.

Make sure you let them know why, even anonymously. A boycott that always tells why every time a choice is made is more effective.
