dvp82 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 A number of companies have already withdrawn their advertising from News of the World. These include Halifax, Co-op, Vauxhall, Butlins, Virgin Holidays and Ford. Others are considering their position. How about helping them along by phoning their press office and saying that you’ll boycott their products if they continue to advertise in Murdoch’s grubby rag. Damaging their commercial interests is the only language these big companies understand. Here are some of the biggest players. There’s a longer list on the Guardian’s website Everything Everywhere (Orange and TMobile) – 01707 315000 Proctor & Gamble - 01932 896090O2 - 01753565656 Tesco - 0800 505555 Hutchinson - 0845 603 8333 Boots - 0115 959 5995 ASDA - 0113 243 5435 Vodafone - 01635 664444 Shop Direct - 0844 292 4799 Unless you purchase say own brand products best of luck checking all the labels to see if its a P&G product. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Procter_%26_Gamble_brands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion that they give a monkeys is laughable, this is about good PR. If these companies really wanted to make a statement, they'd cancel their advertising across the Murdoch empire, that isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcake Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I posted this in another thread but I will put it here too. Johnston Press who own the Sheffield Star also print for News International (they own NOTW). So should we boycott the Sheffield Star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how many of the people clamouring for a boycot of the NotW are planning to boycot Sky and cease their subscriptions? Not many I'll wager.

I believe that their members print the paper and if they quit on mass printing would grind to a halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastbank Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 So where did they think the stories were coming from? And if they didn't know, why not? Part of the responsibility of running a company is taking responsibility for what your staff are doing. They are not stupid but they are arrogant, and they thought they were powerful enough to get away with it. They thought they could buy favours from the police by paying bribes and from politicians by supporting their campaigns. Now the whole house of cards is falling down. If you bought the News of the World during this period, the money you paid went towards the cost of hiring a private detective to hack into a dead girl's mobile phone. If you continue to buy the News of the World I think you're saying you think that kind of think is OK. Surely nobody with an ounce of decency would buy this paper now? what about those people who print and distribute it, the people who deliver it to the shops, the newsagent who sells it and finally the paper boy who puts it through the letter box....like it or not that paper alone.....keeps the rest of the rags in business....it out sells all the others put together...if asda pull their adverts...sainsburys would fill the gap....

And they let people with comments like this be Admin then?. So the people that buy the NoTW this week have no decency?!?!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
