Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

Just unsubscribed from emails & told them why. I hope they don’t survive this economic disaster, they don’t deserve to.

Flipflopflapflip · 11/06/2020 20:29

Utterly shameful. I won’t be shopping there again.

Mockers I think the naked thing was Lush wasn't it? There were certainly some long threads on here about them.

This is so laughable

Just when you think 2020 can't get weirder!
As a marketer I can't see any positivity in your brand slagging someone off/bullying.
As a woman who received an order from them today I am horrified.

We had a thread on them a while back, featuring their "Naked" campaigns when staff were "encouraged" to wander the streets wearing just an apron handing out leaflets

Oooo! I hope they start employing fully intact male-bodied TWs to do that.

I'd be prepared to pay to see it.

When Rosa Parkes had had enough of being disregarded, it wasn’t just the refusal to give up her seat that made a difference.
Ultimately it was economics: by a whole community boycotting the buses things changed.
By a whole community refusing to buy Body Shop tat, it would make a difference.

Both Body Shop accounts have gone silent the last couple of days. They are probably hoping they can keep quiet and it will disappear. Absolute cowards to neither reconfirm their view or admit to a mistake.

Lordfrontpaw · 12/06/2020 16:02

No that won't work.

You see.... they are busy pushing out very worth pieces on domestic violence, period poverty BLM and to a lesser degree Pride (because that's not a cause any more, its just lobbying/marketing puff). And every time they do some peaky women keep popping us to ask about the said tweet and the 'likes' that some person who was manning the twitter account managed to include. Some have even taken screenshots.

Like Audible - but the tortoise approach doesn't work in these modern times of social media.

That reminds me...

SirVixofVixHall · 12/06/2020 16:15

Body Shop are done for I feel. Tough economic times, no business can afford to exclude a large number of customers.
This political posturing by shops is ridiculous, but also sinister. You have a different political opinion , we won’t sell to you ?

TheWayOfTheWorld · 12/06/2020 16:34

I'm so depressed. I am on a skincare group on FB (Caroline Hirons) and somebody posted up about TBS bullying JK. Cue the enslaught of posts calling her a TERF and a transphobe before comments were closed (not before a mod came on to agree) and then the whole thread was deleted.

Now today they are all falling over themselves to talk about TBS and what products they recommend.

I'm ashamed I didn't pipe up but my office is so woke I don't dare 😔

BubblyBarbara · 12/06/2020 19:01

It’s alright, our antediluvian opinions are welcomed on here Wine

Lordfrontpaw · 12/06/2020 19:03

Is it wine time yet? Thank god. I’ve been on to chatbot 1000 at Audible for nearly 3 hours now, I need a drink.

Skyliner001 · 12/06/2020 19:05

Oh love the body shop! That reminds me I must put an order inSmile

You stand with the bullying of victims of domestic violence? What a peach you are.
SchadenfreudePersonified · 12/06/2020 19:09

Enjoy your "Shea and Hypocrisy" Body Butter Skyliner

RuffleCrow · 12/06/2020 19:12

@Skyliner001 I'm sorry, I don't think they do anything for hairy palms. Or beards with bits of egg stuck in them. Sad times. Wink

Oh dear - I hope you don’t do we say anything to upset them or you will be bullied on social media.

Here’s their response. Fucking disgusting misogyny

Bloody Hell! They really don't get it, do they? Their social media teams clearly think the twatterverse represents the reality! Do they not understand who does most of the shopping in their stores?

I'd be posting that to twitter....

lionheart · 12/06/2020 20:01

Yes, I just saw that on twitter. They keep digging.

Surely it can’t be pride month again? It’s like fucking groundhog month

ChickenNuggetsChipsAndBeans · 12/06/2020 20:13

I forgot to cancel my audible membership this month. It is quite tricky to do, you need to log onto your PC and remember your password and stuff.

So I used my credit to pre purchase the latest Robert Galbraith audiobook.
