Mr Harrop and friends are misinforming them on twitter:

Harrop is a misogynist who recently had to back down after harassing a woman online. You'd think trans women would know better than to support him.

We’re a forward looking country? Has this Dr Mike (why do they always use their titles?) not heard of Brexit?

RogerAllamsFangirl · 24/07/2018 11:16

I am sick of this. Anyone with a vague sense of critical thinking and common sense can see that people posting on FWR have valid concerns that are, on the whole,debated far more intelligently than anywhere else on the internet.

Twitter pile-ons are childish bullying. I would hope someone at Birds Eye has the common sense to see this and the courage to ignore it.

TRAs are going squirrel over this video advert on Birdseye website. Transphobic innit?

VickyEadie · 24/07/2018 11:19

I'm puzzled - in what way is it transphobic?

Theinconstantgardener · 24/07/2018 11:25

I guess its the dad ' princess' or maybe there are no trans dads in it? Who knows!

LaSquirrel · 24/07/2018 11:26

LOL, I am sure he can identify as a pink princess if he wants?

How come the advertisers don't get a strike and sent to the Naughty Corner?

We are the content providers after all. Without the content providers, the advertisers wouldn't touch this site with a barge pole. Just sayin'

UglyCathKidstonBag · 24/07/2018 11:27

They are moaning to Birds Eye because someone internet-shouted “Birds Eye UK are terfs!” and got blocked by Birds Eye? Makes sense.Confused

I’ve got 6 DC, my freezer is full of Birds Eye products and always is.
Waffles
Peas
Chicken dippers
Fish fingers

We go through the largest pack of each every single week, sometimes more.

I appreciate any company who refuses to silence women, I can easily stop buying from any brand who chooses to back an ideology that aims to shut women up.

Bumbungo · 24/07/2018 11:30

Presumably because the dad who is wearing the princess dress on 'Princess Day' to make his child happy, does not look entirely comfortable wearing said Princess outfit, therefore it is transphobic because he has not fully embraced the situation (and is now demanding that everyone accomodate his demands.)

Who the fuck knows. No doubt this post will be on twitter in two minutes as more evidence of the transphobia on mumsnet. I think Birdseye have blocked a few of them for trolling, which is rather amusing.

Would love to be in the next BirdsEye strategy meeting..... "And So, next on the agenda: Is it worth pissing off 12 Million mothers who feed their kids fish fingers and chicken dippers so that we can be seen as 'woke'. Anyone? "

LangCleg · 24/07/2018 11:37

Fish finger sandwich for lunch it is!

LangCleg · 24/07/2018 11:40

Is it Fish Finger Year Zero?

Will there be ritual burnings of fish fingers?

Can you get away with just overcooking them a bit?

Will there be tribunals: are you now, or have you ever been, a consumer of fish fingers?

Do we live in a fish finger denunciation society?

Under Birds Eye.

(I could do this all day! It's fun!)

Bumbungo · 24/07/2018 11:47

You're waffly versatile Lang

placemats · 24/07/2018 11:48

I loves me a fish finger sandwich. Has to be white thick bread though, with tomato ketchup - never mayo.

LangCleg · 24/07/2018 11:49

Let's give the fish fingers a good grilling! They deserve nothing less!

Oh to be a fly on the wall...

UglyCathKidstonBag · 24/07/2018 11:54

Give (frozen) peas a chance!

JackyHolyoake · 24/07/2018 12:08

Very good, UglyCath ... Smile

If they are going after BirdsEye it's because half of their products (which I have in my freezer) say Mumsnet rated on the packet.

Because it's those pesky mothers who make up the majority of their customer base.

If there's three things mothers are experts in its

  1. the realities of sex
  2. child safety
  3. convenient, child-friendly nutrition.

They love chicken nuggets!

terryleather · 24/07/2018 13:36

Gah! you're not your obviously...

placemats · 24/07/2018 13:43

Birdseye battered chicken dippers are the best for Chinese sweet n sour.

And they are good with aioli in a bread sandwich.

Hungry.
