Boycott M&S at Christmas

Rachel Cohen | 18.10.2005 23:53 | London

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.

Sorry, hadn't realised...

I hadn't realised that I'd wandered onto the Daily Mail website by mistake.

I wouldn't buy those biscuits at any price for a number of reasons:
- I can do much more with £3(or £5)than eat a box of biscuits
- I would prefer to give my guests other things that I will make myself; they will cost considerably less and be more appreciated
- I don't consume milk or dairy products because of animal suffering and the huge contribution this industry makes to global warming
- I permanently boycott Marks and Spencers because of their continuing support for Israel

Save your money and do something different to reduce consumerism and the ever-increasing wastefulness in our western society.

I thought this was a news site, not a spoof-fest?

Is it just me or is this some confusing marketing method M&S are employing to increase pre-xmas sales?

Well I'm confused.

THEY SHALL NOT PASS

If of course there is an anti - Israel/ anti - Jewish demonstration in Manchester - then once again you shall be met by 200 - 300 Jews and friends of our community who will show you that it is no longer such a good idea to start with the Jewish people anymore.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

We will kick the racist left and right wing extremists off the streets of Manchester. We have done it before and will do again.

The people of Manchester, as well as the Jewish community have shown how sick of you we are, especially when you were sick enough to come and try to justify the 7/7 attacks.

Nobody wants to see you - so if you come down, you will wish you hadn't.

Enjoy the bicuits.


CABLE STREET 1936 to MARKET STREET 2005/2006


yeah right

I could tell that the sort of post - loke the last one - was coming!

What a joke.

Do some historical research on the battle of cable street - it was an action against fascists, not one supporting them, so how you zionist sympathisers feel free to appropriate it is beyond belief!!

200-300??? Were they very very small people then?

To be anti zionist, or even against the policies practiced by the israeli state, is not remotely fascist or anti-jewish. Unless of course you introduce the notion of self haters to discribe all those jewish people who are anti-zionist and against the policies of the israeli state!!!

What a joke.
