What little acts of rebellion or activism do you do?

[Steelworks]

I’m not talking about going on marches, but minor things, that you know about.

Mine is I won’t play Michael Jackson songs, after all the alleged behaviour, which certainly wouldn’t be accepted by today’s standards.

The second is I won’t buy McCain products, after they put out an advert for Smileys, which referred to ‘knocker’s’ in them. I thought that language had died out in the seventies.

So If you believe in Israel’s right to exist you’re a dishonourable Jew? Is that what you’re saying here?

I hope you never need any medical treatment that’s been pioneered in Israel, but that’s your call. BTW as my IT husband tells me, intel is in practically every computer. Plus assume you don’t use Waxe either.

Go and get an education.

Go and educate yourself @Wicked123

Unsure why my reply was deleted? Someone evidently upset to discover they're participating in the latest orgy of Jew-hatred.

So every time I see antisemitism out and about in town, I go and buy Israeli products from the supermarket. Perhaps every time I see it online I should donate to an Israeli charity. Perhaps I'll do that for this thread. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Yes! There is a section on that wiki page about it. It really is sinister. They had their sales people dress up as nurses and pushed free samples of formula on new mums. Told them it was far superior to breastfeeding. And so many infants died to to a lack of clean water, sterilised equipment or formula. I'm sure i read that the cost of formula annually was more than some people's entire annual wage. They really are a disgusting company.

the world?

I don't use self check-outs as they don't pay tax. #wealthnotgreed

I avoid the trans supporting shops & use the term "trans identifying man" not "transwoman" which is a complete misnomer. I also wear my "I stand with JK Rowling" t-shirt almost constantly (a bit self-consciously tho since, much as I admire her, I think she's terrible writer). I've never owned a car & am the Public Transport Queen to my friends.

Says the woman who needed my post to remind her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Explain to my why boycotting the HP movie reminds you to recommend Strike books to people? Do you know many people who have never heard of JKR?

I mean people who buy a new puppy while they have an elderly dog.

Cunts.

Guerrilla planting. It started when my DDog died and I scattered seeds of a flower she was named after. Now I sow wild flowers wherever I feel like it. Last year it stopped the parish council doing their usual slashing and mowing of the churchyard and edges of the village green because of the wild flowers that had appeared. Now they are going to leave it which will be good for the creatures that make it their home. I may start planting up the potholes next.

Isn’t it his sister that founded and owns the company that produces the relish etc, not Tim or Darina Allen?
What he did was hardly her fault.

I believe Michael Jackson was innocent too. He was found innocent in court. FBI investigated for years and never found anything that would prove otherwise.

James Safechuck and Wade Robson who made that 'documentary' were in it for the money and have previously defended Michael. They've been proven on several occasions to be lying and their timelines don't match up etc.

Michael never hid and was always open that he had children stay at his ranch, parents were usually with them! He often had family members there too.

I believe he was innocent.

I try not to buy new things, only shoes, underwear and health products mainly. I use the second hand shops, ebay and vinted for things.

I buy as few things as possible from supermarkets because I don't want to support them, especially tesco.

I don't let 4x4s out in traffic.

I don't eat supermarket meat or fish.

I don't have a TV or a TV licence.

I try to use small businesses where I can.

I don't buy things from israel, nestle etc. I don't use corporate places like Costa.

This was a long time ago, when I was working as an au pair. My duties were supposed to be looking after 2 preschool children, getting them washed dressed and breakfasted, taking them to nursery, cleaning their rooms, laundering their clothes, collecting them from nursery, playing with them, making their tea, getting them washed and ready for bed, so my working day lasted from 7.30 to 8pm Monday to Friday.

The mother in the family was an heiress who owned a lot of expensive properties that were managed by other people. Her life was all about fashion, throwing extravagant parties and holidaying in her other homes in Tobago, Monaco and Paris. After I'd been working for them for a few months she started adding extra jobs to my daily list, hoovering the entire mansion, cleaning all the bedrooms that had been slept in, and doing all the laundry. Her husband shouted at me for not ironing his shirts as neatly as the professional laundry!

One morning after I'd walked the children to nursery I cleaned all the bedrooms, starting with the huge master bedroom and en suite. Then I cleaned the children's bedrooms and as I was hoovering the upstairs corridor she shouted from the master bedroom that she wanted me to COME HERE!

She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and asked "Did you clean my bathroom?" I replied that I had done it first thing when I started cleaning upstairs. She opened one eye, glared at me and said "Well, clean it again, there are still spots on it!" I opened the ensuite door and reeled at the reek of shit. She'd only just taken a dump and had left skid marks on the toilet bowl the she was demanding I clean for her.

I was living in a tiny flat that belonged to her, I had nowhere else to go. She was so sure that I had no option but to do as I was told. So I did exactly that.

In fact, while I was cleaning the toilet bowl, wearing marigolds and using her own face flannel for the job, I smiled to myself and thought that for thousands and thousands of years slaves will have been doing similar things to retaliate against unjust treatment. It still makes me smile to think of her cleaning herself with the same flannel I used to clean the skid marks off her bog.

Avoid Amazon unless it’s a last resort.

What does this mean exactly? Because we can't help everybody, we should support nobody at all? There is a lot of suffering and injustice in the world. Yes, true, the news doesn't show everything, but what I can do to help I will do. This includes voting against any political parties who have supported genocide in Gaza and not buying products from an apartheid state.

I can't sit passively and watch the genocide on my screen - the killing of innocent civilians. I've also supported Ukranians in many ways, donating my time, money and products.

I agree that there should be more coverage of Sudan, but the lack of coverage of this crisis does not take away from the horrors being committed by Israel.

dont buy anything off Amazon?

Google 'Square One: Michael Jackson'

I have a long standing, one sided personal beef with Richard Dawkins so whenever I see his books in a shop I flip the over.

Also if I see people drop their cig buts on the floor I confront them. Just put it in the fucking bin you minger.

If a fancy car drives past, I deliberately look the other way, so as not to give them the attention they want 😁!

Wow - thank you. I had no idea.

I have told the NHS for 20 years that I will not attend for any kind of screening and to take me off the lists. They will only take you off the list if you sign a disclaimer, which is ridiculous.Each time I get an appointment I ring and withhold my name just to tell them I will not be attending, and why. They then relist the appointment and I don’t go. Thank goodness I am now of an age where they don’t give a shot whether I live or die.

I won’t buy Dove products. They make a big deal out of being super inclusive (as long as you are pretty) and acceptance.

do they think I’ve forgotten their campaign to make women ashamed of having non kissable , attractive armpits?

yet another companies desperately fishing around for bits of the female body they can monetise by setting up an absurd standard.
they can bugger off

It hasn't happened to me, but my best friend is fat and butch and it has happened to her.

But also some 'slebs' do do actual good. Feargal Sharkey with the waterways for example. I don't mind if they get involved as long as it's knowledgeable.

I do that too to show I am not impressed😆
