Marmite have a special edition LGBTQ jar with a part of profits going to Stonewall. I commented I was disappointed that they'd support an organisation that excludes lesbians.

A very polite person asked me to expend on that and I mentioned the activists violence towards biological women etc. Nothing I said was anti-trans in any way and nobody engaging was arguing or being disrespectful.

Someone asked me which male orgs excluded transmen so I went back to comment and got a message saying my comments had been deleted Hmm I don't know what their policy is but I'm really surprised to be honest (I don't know why though, I guess this is just How Things Are now).

Give it up for the cause Lang we must all make sacrifices!

...And you'll still have Weetabix Banana Horror

There are some places a woman just can't go! Happy to boycott Instagram, if that helps?!

Are Twiglets technically connected with Marmite or no? Asking for a friend!

SardinesAreYum · 07/07/2018 11:36

Good question re twiglets.

noeffingidea · 07/07/2018 11:43

Bovril?
Definitely not, well certainly not for vegetarians and vegans. Most supermarkets do own brand of yeast extract, but obviously you will have to check the source.

Sardines, her name is Ruth Hunt

LangCleg · 07/07/2018 11:47

I'll die on the Twiglet hill.

Sorry.

OrchidInTheSun · 07/07/2018 11:48

CEO of Stonewall is Ruth Hunt. She's mates with little OJ

Instagram boycott it is then Lang and your love of Marmite can continue uninterrupted!

TerfsUp · 07/07/2018 11:55

I get LGBT+ surveys at work from Stonewall and they are always exclusively about Trans. Never about the L, teh G or the B

Yep. It's all about the T nowadays.

Happy to boycott Instagram

Cant do that

I stalk ds1 boyfriend as he posts pictures of ds1...and i want the photos!!

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/07/2018 13:05

I dont have marmite very often

So maybe i will just stick with feeling really really guilty when i eat it

Albadross · 07/07/2018 18:19

How is that transphobic Dinosaurs?

I can't boycott Marmite though. I'd die with no Marmite.

Is it wrong of me to be quietly relieved I bought a large new jar two weeks ago that, if used sparingly, might see me through until sense prevails?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/07/2018 18:30

Yes really wrong boart

Take one for the team and give it to lang

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/07/2018 18:31

How can i misspell boat

Seriously, how does that even happen

StealthNinjaMum · 07/07/2018 18:35

Dear Marmite.

If you are reading this then I will not be buying any more marmite after my current jar has run out.

Best wishes

ninja

No chance. Sorry, not sorry.

Chill about the name thing Rufus. People constantly misspell my RL name, so I am unusually relaxed about it.

boatyardblues · 07/07/2018 18:39

OTOH, this thread has reminded me that supermarkets do own brand Marmite. What with the Tories about to crash the economy with Brexit, that may be a thrifty swap worth investigating.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/07/2018 18:39

I dont care about you boat

Im worried about my fingers!!

StealthNinjaMum · 07/07/2018 18:40

If gfs appear on this thread we could turn it into a marmite recipe thread to help us use the stuff up quicker.

Anyone for marmite cake?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/07/2018 18:40

Sorry

That was a joke Grin

Thank you Smile

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/07/2018 18:41

Oh and i just read on another thread that apparently its the profits of certain products...obviously hedging their bets Grin

misskatamari · 07/07/2018 18:46

I can confirm that ASDA own brand yeast extract is pretty yummy. And about a fifth of the price of marmite, for anyone boycotting but still wanting a yeasty fix

NotARegularPenguin · 07/07/2018 18:55

Have to say I think vegemite tastes nicer.

LangCleg · 07/07/2018 19:27

Oh god. Do I have to try ASDA faux Marmite?

I know there'd be sacrifices along the way to women's liberation - but the fuckers are going to take my Marmite?
