Boycott Boots

It is a box ticking exercise though isn’t it? To me, I don’t care who you are or what you are as long as ya nice enough, but of course it’s a box ticking exercise. Most things are these days.

 

almost a good.

 

Available recognisable actress tick.

If you boil anything down it can be a box ticking exercise i agree with you there (for example job hires with specific qualifications needed etc) but the way it's meant in this regard is most right wing people will view this as a box ticking exercise to satisfy the woke left and keep them happy.

I think they are two different situations, the first one i agree happens in every day life due to requirements in scenarios (box ticking exercise for our next striker is he needs to be a good finisher, good on the ball and ready to sign for us) the second one i disagree with a lot.

 

If she did she had a point. Could have also said the balcony was too royal, too parasitic and too archaic anorl.

 

OK then

 

Yes you are correct . It was an unnecessary comment by somebody trying to be "clever" .
Was it a racist comment ?
Imagine the fall out if it had been white on black .

 

Usual ones who talk about free speech and other people getting easily offended are well ... easily offended it would seem

 

That's the irony isn't it?

People of the ilk of those complaining they want free speech... Unless its about things they disagree with.
They aren't racist... Despite repeatedly criticising aspects where non white people are involved.
They aren't homophobic, or transphobic, or xenophobic... They just want their country back... And to be sovereign... Whatever that means.

You just wait to see which company will be the target of their eye swivelling ire each Christmas (well.... November!).

 

When I saw "Boycott Boots" I thought someone was selling Geoff's footwear.

 

Hang on. So you don't care who or what someone is right? So you would hire someone regardless of their skin colour. Butttt if someone else hires someone who is a different skin colour then it's a box ticking exercise? How's that work then?

I guess if we want to get down to the facts of it father Christmas is based on saint Nicholas, a bloke from the middle east born to black Anatolians and most certainly wasn't white so the idea that his wife might be mixed race isn't exactly a box ticking exercise is it.

 

I’ve watched it and it’s so right on it’s actually funny. I don’t care tbh, but the only white man in the advert is portrayed as a fat lay about- it’s pretty standard for advertising, they tend to portray men as useless/feckless/stupid, this simply fits that aesthetic- Men can’t function normally. Like I say it doesn’t exercise me because it’s just the way it is now.
I’ll give you one great example, off the top of my head- the nationwide advert - Dominic West, as an absolute insufferable pillock, would they portray a women like that? Or a BAME person? Would they balls.

 

The advert itself is quite dull in all honesty.
Defintely one of the worst Crimbo ones around

 

Second paragraph you’re rambling mate, I don’t care that much.

Regarding the first, yes it’s a box ticking exercise, like everything is in life. I.e brushing teeth, paying bills, abiding by the law and all the rest of the things from minuscule to massive. On your point about hiring, again I don’t care that much I’m an employee not an employer so stupid point to try and put words into my mouth. But, yes hiring someone of skin colour has to be a box ticking exercise, that’s not me being derogatory just factual, see equality act.

They might be the best person for the job, hopefully so but it’s a box ticking exercise for regulatory reasons, everything in life is a box ticking exercise.
