Upfield (manufacturers of Flora marg, and Proactiv) don't want Mumsnet to buy their products any more

They've made the decision to 'no longer work with Mumsnet' because they want to 'treat everyone equally' because of their 'values'.

By this I'm sure they mean any woman who uses this site should definitely NOT buy their products. That would be an unpleasant association between mumsnet and their values that would be too much to bear.

Here is a helpful list of their products that they don't want in any way associated with Mumsnet:

Country rock
Flora
Rama
BlueBand
Lätta
Flora Proactiv
Becel
I can't believe it's not butter

Please don't sully their brands with any association from you, you horrid mumsnetters. Your money is tainted with unacceptable values.

I usually buy stork for baking but I'll happily switch to oil.

Hate Flora anyway.

MonstranceClock · 11/10/2019 17:59

What, I have to talk to like a laydee? That’s pretty anti feminist of you isn’t it?
I’m not sad enough to take screen shots of posts so no, I can’t provide you with any. Not that I need to, because I know you will have already sent those posts.

OkayGo · 11/10/2019 17:59

Definitely won't be giving them anymore money

MissLawls · 11/10/2019 18:00

Tomor is the non-dairy marg you might find helpful if you want to boycott Flora but don't want a milk-based spread. Sainsbury's stock it:

OkayGo · 11/10/2019 18:00

Any more *

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 11/10/2019 18:01

Clearly you lack reading comprehension.

You're back then?

TiredofthisBS · 11/10/2019 18:01

@MonstranceClock you can bluff and insult all you like. However it proves to me that you are unable to provide any proof of what you say. It's not up to us to find your evidence for you, that's on you sweetheart.

TemporaryPermanent · 11/10/2019 18:01

I did post something yesterday which I thought went over the line, and I reported it myself and had it deleted. I think it's a good thing to do, I dont want to hurt anyone.

HappyPunky · 11/10/2019 18:02

Funny enough I was looking to downgrade from real butter if prices go.up next month but flora is off my list now.

CarWreck · 11/10/2019 18:02

Getting somee Alan Partridge vibes. "Backing up what you're saying? That's saaaaad!"

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 11/10/2019 18:02

Did your son ever join the bomb squad?

MonstranceClock · 11/10/2019 18:02

I don’t need to. And if you go over to this same thread that’s on aibu, outside of your little club, you’ll see other posters who have also seen this issue.

WomaninBoots · 11/10/2019 18:02

Oh this is joyous.

"Where's the transphobia? Show us."

"I can't but have some male rage instead"

Cheers.

Following for the recipes.

MonstranceClock · 11/10/2019 18:03

I don’t know what you’re talking about Confused

Ereshkigal · 11/10/2019 18:03

Clearly you lack reading comprehension. I’ve never once said “you’re all”. I said mumsnet houses these views.

I think you said "Mumsnet feminism is an embarrassment to feminists", no? So not quite. Unfortunately I didn't screenshot that as it seems your post was deleted.

Lessthanzero · 11/10/2019 18:03

I'm not surprised

I can't believe it's not butter is transgender after all.

GlitterToast · 11/10/2019 18:04

This news needs to be on the main boards. All Mumsnetters should know that their custom is no longer welcome. Smile

MonstranceClock · 11/10/2019 18:04

Don’t know why you think I’m male. I’ve been posting here for a long time. Even about my pregnancy, which is uniquely a female issue.

terryleather · 11/10/2019 18:05

Can I just point out that I'm happy to lick any number of assholes as long as nobody makes me eat Flora! Grin

Usingmyindoorvoice · 11/10/2019 18:06

This is so annoying, I don’t buy any of that crap so can’t boycott.

Datun · 11/10/2019 18:06

Okay, paraphrase then.

Give me, let's say, the top three concepts we talk about on here which you think are transphobic.

Quellium · 11/10/2019 18:09

Tbh this was the thing that made me unfollow Stop Funding Hate this afternoon. I agree with them about most things, but I'm so pissed off that women's genuine concerns are dismissed as hate crimes or TERFiness. So pissed off. Oh, and I'll not be buying any Upfield products either.

TirisfalPumpkin · 11/10/2019 18:09

Pregnancy as a uniquely female issue? Woah, could someone screencap that transphobia?

SarahTancredi · 11/10/2019 18:10

Grin oops

Whatisthisfuckery · 11/10/2019 18:11

Well, that as yet unopened tub of Flora Buttery in my fridge will be the last Flora product I buy then. I only bought it because it was on offer anyway.
