This isn't quite the case. M&S is one of many brands (including huge international franchises such as McDonaldās and Starbucks) that people are boycotting due to perceived support of Israel. There was an issue around people accusing their Christmas advert of being anti Palestinian and all sorts. (Nb, It wasnāt. Also this isnāt me saying that anti semitism doesnāt exist, or getting into a debate around the conflict, but it is not as simple as suggested.)So the anti-Semites are boycotting M&S because of the co-founder who died in 1907? Do these people really exist?
Iām glad Alice isnāt weighing in on the current political climate as phew I retyped and edited that a million times to try not to offend anyone, and Iām sure she wouldnāt care.
(edited to mention the Christmas advert debacle.)
