Boots Hire Racist for Sexist Christmas advert 2024

Father Christmas is a man so obviously he's asleep by the fire while the female Elves are doing all the work , Mrs Christmas is played by actress Adjoa Andoh who hit the headlines last year by commenting on how "terribly white" the Buckingham Palace balcony was during the King's Coronation last year , guessing it's probably because they are the Royal family of Great Britain not the Kingdom of Lesotho.

The comment raised over 8,000 complaints to the television watchdog who brushed it off a "opinion" , although under this new government people are in prison for their "opinions".


Won't somebody rid my Country of this Woke virus !

Thanks Boots , know where I'm not shopping this Christmas.


They're so proud of the ad they've mad a "making of" video which kind of explains why it is the way it is , Woke baby.

I hate Christmas adverts.

Bah Humbug.

Makes me grumpy.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Quite like Kevin the carrot but in general I don't pay much attention , I guess they're as much a part of Christmas now as the other side shows.

Our Christmas watching is Love Actually and Carols from Kings on Christmas Eve, the Grinch Christmas Day and The Great Escape on Boxing Day.

No Turkey, prefer Lobster.

I have no clue what i am meant to be getting angry at with that advert mate, are you suggesting some people are finding it offensive that a made up character and his minions are female or not white?

anyway i have my own reasons for finding Christmas difficult (being a widow, it will be only my 2nd Christmas since losing my wife), what i struggle with is how the TV/adverts have begun already, ive got near 2 months of hearing about the magic of christmas and the miracle of christmas....will any of that goodwill bring my wife back to me

If the woke is not eradicated from you country now, they will destroy your country, sadly they are not even a majority, the woke in the US is less than 1 percent, but interestedly they killed the democrats in elections.

People do not want woke, people do not care about woke, majority families like the way values have been for many years.

It was supposed to be a birthday party for Jesus Christ, but commercialism has subverted yet another religious holiday.

Santa is an anagram.

Of course their advertising will become increasingly crass.

Santa is real.

NORAD tracks his sleigh every year.

The miracle of Christmas is that someone was born who could give us hope of an afterlife in the favour of God.

I am truly saddened that you have lost your love. Hopefully, you will ultimately be reunited where there is no longer separation or sadness.

The Lord isn't slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost. - 2 Peter 3:9 (CEV).

I remember and I have been thinking of you. I will continue to do so.

I know that words can't diminish your pain.

But, stay strong, mate.

Santa is a registered trade mark.

But I wonder what defensive threat such a regular, and so-far entirely benign, IFO would pose that warrants such surveillance?

Perhaps a foreign state might potentially hide a pre-emptive nuclear strike behind such a repeated aerial phenomenon?

I also wonder how billions of tons of plastic toys could fit into such a smallish carriage? Also, its propulsion system and air friction must generate significant heat energy, too. I suppose the US air force would love to know how it operates?

You forget, Santa is beyond your puny science.

He is a supernatural and magical entity that is not bound by the laws of physics.

'Britain’s high-readiness aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth will sail today for the Arctic Circle to support a secret multinational mission, the UK Defence Journal has learned.
The vessel is being deployed to act as an emergency landing option should “a classified cargo aircraft” require its usage. We earlier reported that Typhoon jets will be deploying to the Arctic for what is intended to be a secret escort mission involving a cargo aircraft. We believe these deployments are related."

The NORAD tracking is entirely fake. They don't want to admit that they can't track a flight path all over the world. Santa's magical technology is beyond any military detection capabilities.

Damn, it was supposed to be a big secret!

I don't know why you think "woke" is an insult, especially coming from you, but then I am not sure what you mean by "woke". Do you? I think given the alternative, I don't find it at all insulting. Why would I want to be asleep?

If you knew anything about anything, you would know the plethora of diversity that you wish would be destroyed under the banner of "woke" are proven and demonstrably, beneficial to us, as a nation, to such an extent that there is no going back and those that don't like it are going to have to get used to it because strategically it provides an edge.

Just ask the FBI and CIA, they know.

No, you don't care. You don't want.

Lots of us do. So called "traditional values" as you present them, aren't all that traditional to a lot of peoples. Possibly not even the majority. Maybe just the majority of the people you know? Not one size fits all and echo chambers are seldom representative of the reality beyond their confines.

I expect that you probably just need to get out more. Do you self-segregate?

The woke ideology is born of cultural Marxism as a means of controlling people socially, stretching the cultural norms to break our society. The point is today cultural Norms which protect society, to break dusk those things which guard and protect the family and youth.
Being awake is to be the watchman on the wall, to ve aware of those things which destroy the fabric of society and the family. There is a difference.
There is nothing wrong with having done holiday cheer as we celebrate the birth of Christ. Family gatherings are part of the love of the Holy Family.
I personally enjoy everything about Christmas and Christmas Eve services in the churches. They have a very nice one at the Shrine of the Queen of the Universe, which welcomes visitors. en.m.wikipedia.org...#/media/File:2015_Nativity_sceen.jpg
Another excellent one is in the New Cathedral Basilica of St Louis.

Get Woke go Broke , Hollywood failing , major games companies and publishers failing yet the Board at Boots decided ramming "Diversity" and Gender politics down potential customers throat at Christmas was a good idea.

#boyvott Boots is reportedly trending on twitter and Left wing media are blaming the Right or in some cases the Far Right with Pink News calling people "Furious bigots" for voting with their feet because they don't like the 'woke monstrosity' Boots have created.

with hours to go before Christmas, Santa Claus is snoring in his chair, so his wife takes action. Elves run around Santa’s workshop, rebranded as “Mrs Claus’s werkshop”, gifts pile up on a sleigh, and there are lots of baubles, tinsel and glitter. Nothing completely out of the ordinary, except the advert has caused the hashtag #BoycottBoots to trend on X, formerly Twitter, since its release on Thursday.

Some are calling the advert too woke. GB News presenter Darren Grimes noted that at one point Andoh uses they/them pronouns when referring to one gift recipient, and that “naturally, Santa, as a white bloke, is a lazy bum”. Some of the elves are also played by trans social media influencers. The advert has provoked the ire of Right-wing nationalists, who take issue in particular with the casting of Andoh.
