Boycott M&S at Christmas

Boycott Marks & Spenser in the 12 days leading upto Christmas. I shall because they almost double their prices then.
Marks & Spencer Milk, Dark & White Chocolate Biscuit Selection - a selection of 35 irresistible luxury milk, dark and white chocolate biscuits, cost £2.99 now.
A leaked copy of their Christmas week pricing list shows that from December 13 they will cost £4.99.
There is evidence that these biscuits are addictive; so much so that I have already eaten half the box that I bought today
for research purposes.
It is highly likely that many will become so addicted that they will be lured back to the store and forced to purchase as the higher price to secure such treats for the Christmas festivities. Initially not selfishly for themsleves but for their families, festive drop-in visitors and those relations one is obliged to take in and humour over the Christmas period.
A boycott and picket from December 13 onwards could stop people being ripped off.
Alternatively do your shopping early and in bulk, like I shall this weekend.
