The Essex pub that refused to remove its display of golliwog dolls has been forced to close after Heineken and Carlsberg told the owners to stop serving their beer and a maintenance firm refused to work on site.
Now, following the controversy Mrs Ryley and her husband Chris, have vowed to shut the pub down for good and move home to Turkey.
Do 'racists' choose to move to other countries populated by the people they supposedly hate, then?
'I feel gutted, totally and utterly gutted. Hurt, upset,' she said of the closure. 'We've had a few bits of hate, which I personally don't understand.
'The young people these days don't understand, from years ago where did the Gollys originate from, it's such a shame.'
It's not just the young people, Mrs Ryley. If only it was...
A Carlsberg spokesperson told MailOnline today: 'We believe pubs should be an enjoyable place for everyone and we will take steps to seek removal of our beers from venues who do not share our values.
'Whilst we do not directly supply the pub in question, after being made aware of the police investigation we contacted our third-party distributor to make our views clear.'
Heineken ordered the pub to stop serving its beer on April 20 citing the 'abhorrent display' that allegedly goes 'against everything the company stands for'.
Remember when companies were only interested in a profit margin? That, too, it seems, has gone the way of the golly on the jam jar...
A good excuse not to buy the piss they call beer.
ReplyDeleteMaybe these companies should be given the Bud Light treatment. It seems though that we don't have enough clout in the UK not the commitment. The Yanks are showing us how to do things again.
ReplyDeleteWe need some sort of campaign to show these woke companies what we think and all three of these companies should be on it. Although the public don't deal directly with Innserve they should be on the list so that other pubs know that they are woke and deserve to be treated as such as they want to control what a standalone business does.
These companies all need the bad publicity that these actions deserve.
I do agree Lord T!!!
ReplyDeleteWell said, Lord T.
ReplyDeleteSo that's another two brands i'll never be buying again.
ReplyDeleteGetting quite a list together now.
" Mrs Ryley and her husband Chris, have vowed to shut the pub down for good and move home to Turkey."
ReplyDeleteSo we in Britain are now so enlightened that going to live in an Islamic country is now a step upwards!
"A good excuse not to buy the piss they call beer."
ReplyDeleteQuite! There's always Budweiser instead...😉
"The Yanks are showing us how to do things again."
Aren't they just!
"So that's another two brands i'll never be buying again."
I switched from Yorkshire Tea to Twinings, and I don't regret it. There's always other brands out there.
"So we in Britain are now so enlightened that going to live in an Islamic country is now a step upwards!"
There's very little wokism in Islamic countries, have you noticed?
No-one seems to have noticed or at least commented that the actions of these holier-than-thou companies and the "tolerant, inclusive and diverse" mob, echoes precisely that of Hitler's Nazis and the eager participation of their population. Yet they call people like us "Nazis". I have an increasingly long list of brands and companies with whom I refuse to spend my money.
ReplyDeleteFor example the Israel boycotting, pali-cock-gobbling Co-op.
