a list of men or companies who have stood up for us

Not the point of the thread at all but I stopped buying any Flora products when they stopped advertising on MN because of pressure from TRAs. This was in 2019 but I remember them pulling their ads. I bought my first Flora product again recently but only out of desperation because my usual vegan butter wasn't available in the supermarket and I needed it for baking. But I would usually go for another brand if I can.

Flora ended its advertising partnership with Mumsnet in 2019 due to complaints about transphobia on the parenting website. Stop Funding Hate and other campaigners raised concerns that Mumsnet "platforms nasty attitudes and isn't doing enough to protect its members," according to the Stop Funding Hate website. Following the decision, The Independent reported that Mumsnet users declared a boycott of Flora margarine.

The decision to end the advertising partnership was made by Upfield, the parent company of Flora. The company stated that they are "wholly committed to our values, which include treating everyone equally, so have made the decision to no longer work with Mumsnet," according to Campaign Live.

Oh, i had missed that. That's very funny! I'll have to buy some Birds Eye.

James Kirkup.

I remember how stunned I was when I first read this.

A broken clock is still correct twice a day.

can’t stand the man. But he is still right.
also can’t stand piers Morgan.

The fellows at Spiked online.
Josh Slocombe of Disaffected podcast
Douglas Murray
Bill Maher (once he got the memo)
Robert Webb

Barry McGuighan
Also the guy who is in the English Black Ball Pool case at the moment.

I love the interview when he's praised for being the 'first person ever to win two Olympic tennis gold medals' and he pointed out that Serena and Venus Williams had already got 'about 4 gold medals each' and another interview when another tennis player was praised for being 'the first US player to reach a major semi final since 2009' and Andy said 'first male'.

listen, we have to take what we can get. Also caramel wafers- yum.

Yes, it was hilarious. The Birds Eye sm person just kept on replying ‘potato ‘ to the demands to cancel mumsnet. To this day I make sure to buy their peas and fish fingers etc.

That would be so sad. Imagine a world without Tunnocks.

The GB News men unpalatable as that is to many.

Yes. Tony Blair. Knew what he was talking about. Stupid stupid Labour fools who came after him.

Heading that list are Graham Lineham, Robert Winston and Ben Cooper.

Also:

Ricky Gervais
Rose of Dawn
John Cleese
Miranda Yardley
Simon Fanshawe

And Brandon O'Neill's recent article was inspired.

Didn’t they just respond with “Potato”?

@siucra

>> Piers Morgan?

Unless you're making a list of duplicitous turds who change with the prevailing breeze, I can't think of anyone who would see any value in Piers.

He shat in his own nest at home (UK), repeated the job in USA and then proceeded to p155 on the few survivors he had left in Australia.

Notorious liar and long-time plaigiarist.

Mark Jenkinson, who was on the Women and Equalities Select Committee in the last government but lost his seat at the election. He let a lot of flak bounce off him on our behalf.

Bizarrely I think Dominic Cummings was a voice of reason. I read he and Carrie Johnson clashed over the subject. He was meant to have said - ‘if labour want to loose votes putting rapists in women’s prisons they can, but we’re not doing’. He pulled the Tories back from Theresa Mays self ID position.. Whether it was from genuine support of political instinct I don’t know.
Another odd political input came from Tony Blair who tried to warn Labour off this subject saying don’t have an argument with JkR. Last election he warned Labour that voters vote for social issues more than was realised.

It's not random. The reason for their selection is right there in the OP. It could not be simpler to understand.

Let me guess, you struggle with the sex binary too?

Doesn't surprise me at all. The man's a diamond who doesn't get half the respect or appreciation he should.

Its a bit tenuous but at least we don't have to boycott them 😂

Stephen Nolan
Seb Coe

Remember reading Ralph Fiennes remained loyal to JKR unlike those Harry Potter kids and Eddie bloody Redmayne. Dh detests him anyway and boycotts everything he is in.

Boy George has always been a dodgy fucker.

🤣 Me too!!

I also thought of Professor Robert Winston but he's been deservedly mentioned many times over

Sadly, no he isn't
