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

[Barracker]

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.

a transphone is a phoney with diphonia. I think.

if it was gay it would be a homophone.

I think this is an upfield marketing mistake: Flora doesn't even get hot enough to kill someone in a grease fire. Who are they going to sell to?

A highly regarded lawyer has said they might pop along later! Hope they get the attention they seek!!!

'bigots' blah blah blah. We've heard it all before. When are you TRA's going to realise that whatever you call us we couldn't care less? The more you say it the less effective it is. Woman's rights matter.

Trans phones are phones!

That slogan rings a bell.

Isn't they 'highly regarded lawyer' (tm) banned by Mumsnet?

Let’s get this straight this has come from one place:

Yes the most oppressed place ever.

Under the sea.

Well, there’s no accounting for taste I suppose. Flora sucks big time anyway. I’d rather have butter.

Some people don’t know the real thing from a hole in the ground if it bit them on the arse.

Didnt this happen a while ago with another brand? The MRAs said,
"Dey puld support cuz MN is Transfobes..."
MN came along and said,
"No, just that the contract ended actually..."

I forget who it was with tho.

Was it Auny Bettys roast potatoes? Don’t like them either, not the real thing.

Some people really can’t tell the real thing from fake your know.

Birds Eye, that one, wasn’t it?

I am given to understand that the person behind this was Helen Islan, the person who unsuccessfully tried to get a trans person sent to prison for transphobia.

Are there going to be baby blue, pink and white painted tubs of margarine replacing aforementioned coloured baseball bats with "POV" tweets now? I can see the tub-wielding captions now;

"I'll spread your toast with I can't believe it's not butter, you filthy TERF/MERB!!"

... Meanwhile in kitchens across the land, just like the suffragettes discretely wearing green, white and violet colours, thousands of feminists working in staff canteens rise up and order butter not margarine in one glorious subtle protest. Refill the marge containers with butter and tell anybody who protests that the butter self-identified as Marge, and that anybody who Can't Believe It's Not ButterTM is a transfats-phone. Hand out greasy Nokias instead of white feathers. This is the new uprising!!

Birds Eye, that one, wasn’t it?

That might be it. I remember some mother of a famous Transwoman crowing ll over about winning.

Upfield and Stop Funding Hate are taking advice from the person who brought this case against a trans person www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6764763/Britains-transgender-hate-crime-trial-halted-one-day.html

Am I the only one chortling about the love of fake butter over, well, real butter?

Oh dear. Never mind MNHQ, there are plenty of companies out there that still actually know what a woman is. Five minutes on the internet and it’s absolutely no problem finding a replacement.

I tried their dairy free spread. OMG! It tasted like my usual spread.....

...if it had been left in the heat for a month. 🤢
