Watch out Basso's about!

Hi Jasper. The answer to that is in post no. 68. Just in case you missed it, I'll repeat myself. I don't like Basso or his products. I'll also add, I've never bought any of his products and can say 100% that I won't in future either. I would never wear real fur, and I dislike faux fur.

Regarding QVC, I enjoy shopping with them and will continue to do so, Basso or no Basso. That's why I don't get all publically indigant about QVC peddling his wares, because to do so would be hypocritical, since I still line QVC's pockets.

Many many years ago whilst at Uni, I remember the Student Union urging all students who were banking with Barclays to move their accounts, on account of their links with South Africa (in the days of apartheid). So many students did so, that we heard off the record that the local branch had had to move members of staff to another branch because so many accounts were closed.

So, Jasper, if you REALLY feel strongly about something, wouldn't it be better to boycott that organization completely?

HTH!! (I've just learnt what this means in another thread).

If people on this forum weren't publicly indignant, I would have had no idea that Dennis Basso is a furrier.

I hope lawrenson and AllThatGlitters, get publicly indignant, and start a thread about child exploitation and QVC's brands.

HTH!! (I just learnt that of your post).

I'm very pleased to see that the hideously frumpy TSV mac is still available in all sizes. Hope Basso takes the hint.

There's nothing wrong with people protesting against, and raising awareness of Basso, and I agree with you that many of us wouldn't have known about his other side if it weren't for this forum. But the point I'm making is quite simple. If someone feels really really strongly about this issue, and I appreciate that many do, then they could stop buying (as many already do, I know) but also stop watching the channel in the first place. Why even bother giving QVC the time of day?? Surely that would be logical in view of their hatred towards the company for trading with Basso. I just suspect that many aren't willing to go that far and I've already confessed that I won't myself.
