Delingpole: Marks & Spencer Launches Woke Lingerie Range Inspired by George Floyd. No, Really
breitbart ^ | 24 Jun 2021 | JAMES DELINGPOLE

Posted on 06/24/2021 7:24:18 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

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.

There nothing more sexy than lingerie that says, “George Floyd died now FM”.

M&S is circling the bowl.

This stunt is being done out of desperation.

“Marks & Spencer has added a wider range of skin tone colours to its underwear selection in a bid to address diversity issues in its range. [...]

“It admitted “nude” and “neutral” had generally been used for lighter skin tones in the past.”

How about a dream business partnership?

Marks & Spencer and Victoria’s Secret team up. The possibilities are endless!

Everybody’s jumping on what they think is the current ‘gravy train’.

I’m intimately familiar with female lingerie; and this looks like any underwear from any company, to me...
