Boots SLAMMED for "anti-white racism" in Xmas ad Boycott Boots Movement
 
Boots SLAMMED for "anti-white racism" in Xmas ad with Adjoa
Andoh who called royals "terribly white"



Boots has found itself at the centre of a social media storm after its Christmas
advert was branded a "woke monstrosity" by disgruntled viewers.

A particularly incensed individual commented: "Boots hires Britain-hating
actress to lead their Christmas TV Advert, the same woman who trashed the
Royal Family for being 'too white' a couple of years back."

A user on social media commented disdainfully on the new festive
advertisement from Boots, branding it: "The new Boots Christmas Ad is a
woke monstrosity. Super woke "Diversity" seems to be the theme."

Bill from Liverpool said: "I am outra..." before his bloodpressure spiked causing immediate full cardiac arrest.

Jean from Birmingham simply let out a garbled screech, and set about writing a Facebook message to Nigel Farage.

"Nobody was particularly racist in the 90's, people liked Eternal"

:joker: This video is a hoot! Thank you LT.

You have to laugh when ignorant gammons are triggered by make believe creatures

Glenn. 12-11-2024 01:02 PM

As soon as that vermin started speaking I had to stop watching the video.

That's a hilarious quote :laugh: Is she okay.

This is the advert from the normal point of view and not the ignorant racist agenda


Glenn. 12-11-2024 01:14 PM

White people need to understand that black people are allowed to be on television

Livia 12-11-2024 01:25 PM

Are there any ads on TV that don't show black people?

Peter Lloyd @Suffragent_


Journalist/author/meme ▪️NY Times and Sunday Times best-selling writer.

There are 60,000 actors in the UK, yet @Boots chose to hire @andoh_adjoa
for their Christmas ad.

Last year, Andoh trashed the royal family as "terribly white" during the King's
Coronation.

Her casting sends a clear and deliberate message to white Britons

Boots is owned by Walgreens, an American pharmacy chain. Walgreens is
closing stores in minority areas due to unprofitability/crime - leading to
accusations of racism as minorities have a harder time accessing essential
pharmacy services.

The advert is actually taking the piss out of what it is pretending to celebrate

choosing someone who last year trashed the royal family as lead star in your advert


is definitely of poor taste, yes



combined with the facts they could've gone with any other POC actor, but the fact that they went with Ms Andoh they definitely had the intention to stir **** up, since even negative publicity is still publicity

BBXX 12-11-2024 02:10 PM

I thought the far right didn't believe in cancel culture. :laugh:

Jessica. 12-11-2024 02:13 PM

I like the ad, it seems to be more about how useless men can be while their wives are doing everything. Probably the same relationship dynamic the people who find the ad offensive are in. Maybe if the brits didn't go around colonising people who wanted to be left alone their country wouldn't be so diverse.

a Christmas advert slagging off Santa and saying he is old and lazy


why that is genius

:joker:

(In June 2023, it announced a strategy to close 650 of its UK outlets. Since
then, hundreds of Boots stores have said their final goodbyes. By the end of
October, Boots will have closed 300 stores in 2024 – and, as of the end of
September, 290 of those have already shut.)

When was the last time Britain colonised anyone? You realise how many countries Portugal colonised? Maybe you don't.

Ninastar 12-11-2024 03:08 PM

Apparently my ancestors were colonisers but some were also colonised???

I feel like it’s the same for everyone tbh. We all have colonisers and the colonised in our blood

Colons

I am just referring to Peter Lloyd and Dan Wooten, who I would class as far-right.

BBXX 12-11-2024 03:14 PM

What was it Peter Lloyd said... Sticks and stones may break my bones but there will always be something to offend a far-right snowflake. Like an advert for a high street store :laugh:

They are right-leaning but to call them far right is ridiculous imo

Who's been cancelled?

Looks like the opposite to being cancelled, by be promoted.

It's old White men like Roy chubby Brown that get cancelled.
