Companies need to understand what's happening right now. You cannot mollify bigots whose primary desire is to be angry. You've already lost them. They're gone. If you cave to them, you're sacrificing the loyalty of other consumers for a sad, small group that will never like you.

Remarkable to see the UK Green Party making gains in Tory areas. It suggests the government’s reticence in taking actions against climate change and Tory-leaning papers’ anti-net zero rhetoric isn’t resonating with voters and local communities
