Any sign yet of this statement putting what he said it its proper context?

Wow LOJ really going mask off there! 'Freakshow'? Much kindness, so inclusive.

What is his deal exactly?

I have emailed them to ask the question. They need 48 hours to respond (think of an excuse).

Apparently they have been told to tell everyone that the comments were "taken out of context".

Note that the full video was available on YouTube, but it's been taken down, so they don't want people to watch it with the complete context?

Maybe it's worth asking them, "you have been told to tell people it's been taken out of context, how exactly has it been taken out of context?".

Maybe it's worth asking them, "you have been told to tell people it's been taken out of context, how exactly has it been taken out of context?".

That's the obvious next question, isn't it? 'OK, how?'

I see it's being left to two women to deal with the mess their boss created.

I complained to them on the 15th, still no response, just 3 automated responses - we will reply within 48 hours.

I think they will just ignore the emails for now and probably forever

Looks like it's still in decline.
Couldn't happen to a nicer company.

And JHB did a segment,she too is boycotting wickes.

I'd be amazed if they get through this.

Calling people Bigots because they don't Gree with the latest craziness ((biological sex can be changed etc) is hilarious. We need to keep challenging this madness, and i don't need Wicks to try and tell me how to thing, like most people, I will continue to challenge the madness.

wickes will get through it. Of course, they may have some staff changes or at least policy and strategy changes in the future though.

I dm'ed wickes on social media last week and they still haven't replied. Now I'm just telling them every time I make a purchase I could have bought from wickes but bought from elsewhere!

Oh I love this.

Sadly I always shop at b and q cos it's the nearest by miles. I've rarely been into a wickes, I'm not about to start.

They don't know that! Tell 'em anyway.

Hmmmm it'd be straight up lying.
And I dont imagine they would be much bothered about my replacement wood for a bench, some compost and a few flowers.
Less than a hundred quid.

However if wickes was the closest to me I would drive many extra miles to use b and q now.

Decisions decisions.

Probably not just supporting…..

@Ourladycheesusedatum go big or go home, tell 'em about the housing estate you were getting quotes for 😁

On the other hand, you're probably right. We should leave the barefaced lies to the tras.

They have ignored me too. Cowards.

Me too, guess they only reply to people who say things they want to hear.

Yeah, i'm sure that's a part of it for a lot of these men. MPs, the police, the lot.

A little update for you all on this, Wickes tried and failed to shutdown the boycott wickes website. They made some serious allegations of criminality against the founder and the site all of which were found to be without merit.

Wickes: “Everyone is welcome at Wickes. We are proud to be an inclusive home improvement retailer and are committed to building a workplace and culture where all colleagues and customers can feel at home.”

Also Wickes: people who believe sex sometimes matters are "not welcome in our stores"

It's that sort of logical consistency that's winning hearts and minds throughout the country...

Just about to move house. New house needs refurb, including extension for kitchen, new kitchen, bathroom and hardwood flooring for all of the ground floor, lighting, you get the idea. It just occurred to me that if I take advantage of their free design consultations (which aren't free to them at all, of course, they factor the cost into what you eventually buy) for the kitchen and bathroom and then send in a letter gushing about how much I loved their products and was rushing to the checkout with my credit card in my hand when I discovered their lesbophobic/misogynistic history.. Well, imagine my heartbreak when I had to spend £15k in B and Q instead...

Bugger. I'm going to be living in a tent, at this rate.
