Major British retailer Marks & Spencer (M & S) has launched a new lingerie range inspired by George Floyd.
This is a bit like Oxford University launching a new degree course inspired by Beavis and Butthead.
It’s so totally meaningless and off-brand that it will make absolutely zero sense to its core audience. It’s the purest woke gesture politics.
In a video about the launch of the retail giant’s Nothing Neutral About It range, M & S Lingerie Director Laura Charles says:
The horrific death of George Floyd and the global conversation on race, equality and unconscious bias really spurred us on to go harder and faster.
Did it Really?
Marks & Spencer is a bastion of bourgeois respectability. It has never been edgy or fashion-forward. Nor has it ever been political because the kind of people who go shopping in Marks & Spencer, people like my mother, don’t want to be lectured on the ‘correct’ causes of the day when they buy their underwear or their reasonably priced cashmere tops or sensible skirts or overpriced but excellent condition fruit. They just want to buy their food or their clothes, then go home, not to have their consciousnesses raised or to be made to feel mildly guilty about their white privilege.
Truly this desperate. Perhaps this outrageous insult to their loyal customers will backfire horribly.

I love Marks & Spencer in London, especially the food section. If Americans are ever allowed back over there, I sure won’t buy any of that Floyd stuff!
I watched the video and I didn’t notice any mention of George Floyd. There was some vague talk of inclusiveness but from what I was able to gather it was about including fat women in their lingerie line.
Will the lingerie be fitted tight enough to scream “I can’t breath”?
That’s funny. And the black bra in the video is unusually nice...
Sizes start a 4XL and go up.

We should rename the company “S & M” Company and put little whips all around the signs.
Look what we did! We support BLM and antifa, really we do!
Please, do not break all the windows, steal the merchandise, and trash the store
With a set of handcuffs attached to it?
they should accept fake $20 bills for payment...
