#NEVERSPOONS: HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE BOYCOTTING WETHERSPOON’S​

In the weeks since pubs reopened in the UK, many people have called for a Wetherspoon’s boycott. A #NeverSpoons app has even been created to help people avoid the popular pub chain and support independent establishments instead. But is it a good idea to boycott Spoons in the middle of a pandemic?

HOW DID THE #NEVERSPOONS BOYCOTT START?​

The #BoycottWetherspoons / #NeverSpoons campaign first kicked off when Wetherspoon’s boss Tim Martin shared a video at the start of lockdown in which he told staff there could be delays in wage payments while the government’s furlough scheme was set up. He suggested they may wish to get a job at a supermarket.
Staff, unions, MPs and the public all criticised Tim Martin’s comments and some called for a total boycott of all Wetherspoon’s pubs.
Wetherspoon’s later performed a u-turn and agreed to pay furloughed staff, after 90 MPs wrote to the chain and demanded they support their workers during the pandemic.
MP Jo Stevens tweeted: “Wetherspoons have u-turned on decision not to pay 43,000 staff while pubs are shut. Staff to be paid on April 3 and weekly after that. Good news, but people won’t forget political pressure forced your hand Tim Martin.”
This wasn’t the first time Wetherspoon’s staff have felt let down by their employer. In fact, Tim Martin has quite the track record for mistreating and exploiting his staff. He’s been accused of paying ‘poverty wages’ by Owen Jones and many workers have spoken out about being forced to promote pro-Brexit propaganda in fear of losing their jobs.
For many pub goers, Tim Martin’s latest behaviour has been the final straw, inspiring them to boycott his pubs in favour of independent businesses

I was in little village Post Office/shop when I was working on that big project. The woman was taking freshly baked stuff pies and stuff out of the oven. It smelled heavenly 🤤

Also another shop where it was joined onto a house and the door between the house and shop was open. They were cooking Indian food and it smelled lush.

Horrible man. I hope people don’t forget him for what he’s done. No doubt some will. Morals go out of the window for a pint of cheap p**s .

Nail on the head Dilli principles are put aside by some people when it comes to money.

I'd much rather support local businesses.

Loads of small independent pubs have gone to the wall during this, and others are and will struggle. Factory pubs are taking over and will eventually strangle the market. See how long they stay cheap when they’re the only game in town. Small independents will get my money every time.

Afternoon marra, tis a cracking Bakers that but when I stayed in Village it often had no pies left after work😔 The butchers up on way to Horse and Groom used to have canny ones anarl though iirc.

I use a canny on in Chester LS on way to Daughters in Pelton. That is family run as well and do great pies. They have remembered my order now we can go regularly again- Family mince and corned and 2 sausage rolls for the bairns. Bairns always get a thin slice of the pies anarl though.

Enjoy the rest of your day folk's

Aye the place is full in the morning with all the Sellafield workers queuing up and grabbing them all. The trick is to get there early buy loads and freeze some.Have a great day mate, cos if you do so will I.Didn't realise that the butchers sold pies as well, wouldn't be surprised if that was supplied by Gosforth Bakery as well, cos they supply all the local garages and as far as Egremont.☺️ ☺️
