Laurence Fox is protesting Sainsbury’s telling racists to shop elsewhere by shopping elsewhere – 7 favourite reactions

Sainsbury’s marked Black History Month by confirming their support for a diverse society and workplace with this message.

It irritated a lot of people, who took such offence at Sainsbury’s suggestion to stay away if you don’t support diversity that they threatened to *checks notes* stay away.

One question kept cropping up – “When is White History Month – or day?” and this response was about as good as it gets.

There was also a great deal of support for Sainsbury’s, as well as scorn for the attitude of the people complaining about the notice.

His announcement drew the reactions you’d expect.
