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.

What did Samsung do?

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 11/10/2019 16:32

Kind of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted isn't it....

Ereshkigal · 11/10/2019 16:33

Come on press, pick up on the ironic "I can't believe it's not..." angle. What a hook!

EL2019 · 11/10/2019 16:34

Marmite! I didn’t know about that one. DH will be pleased. I’m not allowed to kiss him within 24hours of eating it.

Anyway just adding to the chorus of I can’t boycott margarine because I didn’t buy it anyway.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 11/10/2019 16:35

So to sum things up

Upfield: "We gave Mumsnet our money, advertised on our tubs then paid lip-service to the TRA's."

VickyEadieofThigh · 11/10/2019 16:35

They actually just pulled their advertising because this platform is a breeding ground for hate. Get over yourselves .

DO provide some examples of this "hate" of which you speak.

Ta.

Ereshkigal · 11/10/2019 16:36

And the "trans fats" - this stuff writes itself!

CarWreck · 11/10/2019 16:36

Upfield, bottom ranking

Soooooo women saying it's unfair for male bodies to play in women's sports is hate?

But when a male bodied athlete hopes that women standing up for fairness in sport 'die in a grease fire' that's not hate?

Okaaaaay......

BadgertheBodger · 11/10/2019 16:39

I have been using Stork for baking but I don’t have to at all. Can we move #fuckoffFlora to Twitter Grin

Mimmymum is the twee nom de twat of Helen Islan, a former Mermaids employee and parent of a "trans child", who had transsexual Miranda Yardley hauled up in criminal court for transphobia. Luckily for Miranda the judge thought the whole thing was ludicrous and dismissed the case.

Michelleoftheresistance · 11/10/2019 16:39

Thanks for the heads up. So Upfield support:

  • anti women activism,
  • removal of single sex spaces,
  • exclusion of women with faith, religion, culture, disability and trauma who can't share a space with mails,
  • homophobia against lesbians who don't agree that people with penises are people they should 'learn to cope with' having sex with,
  • intimidating, kettling and beating windows to harass women discussing current law
  • jolly photographs and icons of weapons with which to batter and kill women who disagree with the above.

K. And they're worried about 'supporting hate?' Er….. all righty then. Flora, that's the end of our relationship I'm afraid. I can't support a company that's got this confused.

CarWreck · 11/10/2019 16:39

Ah yes, the Nordic model

Michelleoftheresistance · 11/10/2019 16:40

Oh and Upfield - the 'hate' you're accusing MNetters of: 'saying no to males'.

That's it. That's all. Please compare the two lists and give your heads a wobble.

Dear Flora

Genuine customer here, I did buy Flora Buttery, despite knowing how toxic seed oils are to humans.

If you really want to shut down women talking about women's rights and women's spaces I'll no longer buy your products.

There are only two sexes
Humans cannot change sex
Women don't have penises
Men don't menstruate

These things are facts, men will not shut us up, I will never again buy your products

@ MonstranceClock just here for the fish then? Evidence or go away.

What's a transphone?

A fax machine with dysphoria?

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 11/10/2019 16:47

A fax machine with dysphoria?

Transphone sounds like a teleporter.

Step onto the Transphone and energize!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 11/10/2019 16:47

I think it’s a type of duck.

Chaotica · 11/10/2019 16:48

Trans phones are phones!

Evidence please, @MonstranceClock
