I know but Natasha was a pal of my goddaughter - not putting ingredients on a pack as a piece of marketing… when they know they have to be so careful. That really made me so angry.

I’ll be taking my custom to Caffè Nero. I never see them grandstanding about anything.

I think they might be at Heathrow - that might be an option next time I go through there.

The allergy thing at Pret has been resolved by legislation.

Is Pret ok? Asking for the next time I go to an airport.

Might have to go with Greggs at motorway service areas as the least worst....

That's the Labour party speaking.

Needless to say, I won't be buying Costa anymore. Shame, because I liked their hot chocolate. But if it's funding the glorification of abuse of young girls then no, thanks.

dimorphism · 01/08/2023 21:15

So, where are the ads celebrating breast ironing and female genital mutilation then, because I can't really see the difference between this and if they did that.

Plenty of young women detransitioners speaking out about their huge regret and how they feel they were mistreated (at best) and mutilated (at worst) by the medical profession that should have been caring for them. This is so incredibly offensive it's unbelievable.

God that bloke's insufferable. Does he not know how interviews work? He never shuts up, just bangs on and on and on talking over women. I can't bear him

Same here, there are a few independent coffee shops nearby which I frequent anyway. I will visit more now as I refuse to buy coffee from th e station on my way to work. I'll take coffee with me or wait till I get to the office, Costa will not be getting my money anymore.

BabyStopCryin · 01/08/2023 20:17

Why don’t they just sell chuffing coffee!

EmpressaurusOfCats · 01/08/2023 20:05

All makes me increasingly grateful to have a few decent independent coffee shops nearby. They’re the only ones that will be getting my money in future.

Ive been going to Greggs rather than Costa recently. I really like the Greggs caramel lattes

you could be talking about so many of them.
Hervey? LRM?

I can’t watch that wanker with his spittle-flecked beard and his face tomato red with fury that anyone dares disagree with him.

Maybe Moley can do a version with a cutesy cartoon of this character with massive arm scars (also self harm scars as are often seen) and their - ummm ‘new appendage’ on show…

Fucking hell, what a dangerous wanker. He thinks it's 'ridiculous' for someone, presumably with body dysmorphia, to want their healthy leg cut off, but It's fiiine to suggest to young girls they cut their breasts off because it will make them boys??

This is where ideology meets reality and it gets switched around so fast as to make you dizzy.

The idea that there is such a being as 'someone who is trans'. And therefore we should accommodate them. Represent them. Include them. A La Robin White on LBC today. Who banged on about how wonderful it was to see themself represented in the past. As if a young girl wanting a double mastectomy has got any fucking thing in common with Robin white!

Instead of the reality of someone who believes in an ideology that means they have been born into the wrong body and therefore need parts of their body removed.

Often, when backed into a corner, these people will hide behind the concept of a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. And say wouldn't you want them to have some kind of treatment to make them feel better?

They never get asked the question why have they got gender dysphoria? Where has it come from? What is it based on?

Because the truth is these girls are being sold the lie that firstly they are in the wrong body, and secondly, that it can be changed.

No they're not, and no it fucking can't.

I won’t link to a petition in case it gets zapped but I saw they had used this image which effectively conveys what Costa are advertising.

The photo on the right is horrifying. The girl doesn’t look more than 13 or 14, so she must have had a double mastectomy before her breasts had stopped growing.

WTH were the adults responsible for her well-being thinking of? Never mind the surgeon who cut her breasts off 😥
