This really is a wake up call isn't it? Companies who rely on their women customers (food and clothing) throwing women under a bus - even when they specialise in selling underwear and offering specialist services like bra fitting.
I've spent a lot of time recently looking at sustainability and the importance of small businesses on our local High Street. This is the push that I need to finally dump these self centred, self important , women hating businesses in favour of small businesses struggling to survive. None of us need to buy into their "values" if they do not include the welfare and safety of women and children.
We don't get government funding, we can't bribe companies with awards but we can spend our money ethically - and John Lewis & M & S are evidently no longer ethical businesses. The M & S accounts are already cancelled / transferred and the John Lewis account will be cancelled tomorrow.
