Oh no, a black woman and people that may not be straight and white in an advert for makeup. How will you go on. I’m sure everyone involved in that ad is crying their eyes out from your comment mate. Take your bigotry somewhere else
White younger female here. Seconding your sentiment and saying bye bye Boots. It’s a far cry from the good old reliable, traditional Boots of the 1900’s onwards.
White older female here, not buying from Boots this year, not because of racist views, far from it, but where I choose to spend my money is not with a company that tries to dictate to me. Point of interest, would there not be a huge outcry if a black role was given to a white actor? Anyone recognise the double standards?
Kevin I'm a sikh and I have always celebrated Christmas even my parents did too. We celebrate our traditions too. Having said that, Boot's should not be using this kind of controversial woman, I can't stand her after her remark at the Coronation, I never watch her in anything. Let's keep traditions as they are meant to be. I can't wait wait for Christmas 👍😊

@@JamesMargetts-y2n why should we applaud them. It is Christmas and not the holidays or winter or any other bull. It’s just Christmas and it’s not changing. No one wants it to.
I think it’s because the woke movement behind this want us to believe Britain has always been multicultural, hence the changing of the race of certain historical figures and introduction of non-white characters into historical dramas. The new Steve McQueen film about the London blitz has a black main character. All done by design.
@ not really. 82% of England and Wales are white. So those countries as a whole are white British citizens but over the past few years, adverts seem to be aimed specifically at non-whites.
Bringing a tree into your house etc which is a German tradition, popularized by Prince Albert of the German royal family. What bearing does an advert have on the way anyone celebrates Christmas? It's so irrelevant it's not worth bothering about. Lots of right Wing Christians getting their knickers in a twist over nothing as per usual.
3:00 No Actually, a lot of Sikhs including myself take part in the festivities more as British tradition and don’t see harm in it. Of course, we don’t celebrate it religiously but it’s we can appreciate the festive period and enjoy it too with our Christian friends and neighbours.

well it’s not a Christian celebration but a pagan one which was hijacked by Christianity. Easter should be the main celebration as that is when Christ was born and died.
Last year at work, we were encouraged by our new EDI Officer, to think about saying ‘Happy Holidays’. As a Christian, living in a Christian-based country, I found it offensive, and made it known.

My mate's lad works at a call centre and has been told not to wish anyone 'happy Christmas' in case he offends anyone. A lady wished him a happy Christmas last week (he revolved an issue for her) and he said it back and was warned about it. His colleague filmed the telling off he got and threatened to post it so the bosses are now 'reviewing' the situation🙄

Buy handmade gifts and presents from small shops who are struggling. If Boots can afford to pay THAT woman and a bunch of nonentities a shed load of money to prance around on tv then the DON'T need us!! I will keep saying Merry Christmas because it is a celebration of Christ!! I have had enough of the "woke" brigade trying to reinvent the wheel!! By the way, I am a Christian woman who happens to be Black, not that it should matter, I give credit where credit is due.
I haven’t shopped at boots for years the last time I went in with my sister .couldn’t get an assistant to help because we looked like poor little old ladies . My sister has money she spent nearly Two hundred pounds on what she wanted and came away with. We both said we not coming back in here it’s not a good experience.
Britain isn't a Christian country as a majority of people identify as having no religion. There is no reason why we cannot still enjoy the festive period though.
It's not a Christian country though. The majority are agnostic at best and many are atheist so the Christians are in the minority. Only 1 million out of a population of 65 million go to church.
@@christinewright110 Most of our traditions are pre-christian such as Pagan. Winter festival "Yule" which became Christmas, Ēostre which was a festival of fertility which became easter (rabbits and eggs are nothing to do with Jesus). Our laws are not based on Christian laws, otherwise they would be too barbaric...
I taught in a Hebrew school in Las Vegas, I am Christian. A majority of the children in my care celebrated the giving of presents and Christmas tree at Christmas. Christmas is and always has been a happy giving celebration, all are welcome to join us. We don’t need this woke nonsense thrown at us every time the tv is turned on. My tv is turned off and will remain off until normality is resumed. A very merry Christmas to all.
The best Christmas ad made for a good while was the sainsburys ww1 ad, that ad hit hard. Let's have more like that and not the dribble that boots have come out with. Make Britain Great Again
In Leeds yesterday. Having dodged the terrorist barriers and feeling safe at the prospect of armed police at the christmas markets, I took a moment to admire the "holiday" lights that studiously avoid any reference to Christianity and remarkably Santa too. Joy to you all.
@@johnwhitehead6720In what way? The only ad I've seen so far is the Dawn French one. Anything that lady does is alright by me! Have I missed something?
I've also noticed over the last few weeks ITV and BBC have started referring to Christmas as "the holidays are around the corner" how long before CHRISTmas becomes offensive.
I don't fund them anymore, ok I no longer have a TV, but I don't miss it. To be honest I think the days of traditional TV are coming to an end anyway, the companies just haven't realised it yet. If they did they wouldn't be spending a fortune winding up what little audiences they have left.
I was born in Kenya and lived there for 53 years. Ever since they gained independence in 1963, every ruling family has been black. Fancy that, an African country being ruled by black families. The British royal family welcomed a person of colour into their midst, but look how that worked out.
Very well said. And if somebody said, Their Royal family was too black, I would think, what, a ridiculous thing to say, about the Kenyan Royal family, just as I did during our coronation. People like her, cause division, when there is no need. And these companies are jumping on the band wagon. Well, their bandwagon, will stop rolling, when they start losing all their profits.
Same here, i always turn the sound off or turn the tv over when adverts come on... Too much woke & too many ad's for my liking & to be fair i have not even seen the boots woke ad iv'e just seen it on here...
Please people let’s get rid of the woke crap? It’s not big, it’s definitely not clever, it’s not offensive, it’s cheap and crass! Leave it to the kids, us grownups are so over this, totally last year! Sorry boots your customers grew up years ago!
As a practicing Muslim who loves his religion dearly, I have grown up in a Christian school that celebrated Christmas. And I remember loving the atmosphere that time of year. We sung holy songs and modern ones, and the festivity and vibrance surrounding that time was honestly some of the best memories I've had at that school. I wouldn't mind if a Muslim showed up in a TV ad about Christmas-at the end of the day, they're most likely just enjoying the festivity of it. And that's fine, I mean heck, I have been eating mince pies every year around this time and went to see Santa last year. It was a ball of a time. But this TV ad is just misandristic without even hiding it. And in my honest opinion, goes against Christian values and beliefs. If there was a TV ad like this about Eid, I wouldn't be happy at all. And would actively complain about it!
Their Head of Marketing is a chap called Pete Markey - he won a Marketing Award last year......suspect it will be his last - this advert will cost Boots MILLION of ££££££s. Well done Wokeists !!
Yes I’m sure the interview went something like this… Boots: We saw that M&S generated a lot of publicity last year with their Anti-Christmas campaign so we want something like that Pete Markey: Hold my Bud Light!
A disgraceful commercial. How many millions did they spend on it, while losing their customers. Many companies to support who respect their customers and Christmas…not Boots obviously.
That woman who said that the British royals are too white! 🤍👑 She didn't say anything about some African royal families being too black, or the Japanese imperial family too Japanese, etc... I will never forget nor forgive her!
I live in a small village that is surrounded by mountains and a river. If our pharmacy/chemist closes, it will present our residents with real hardship. Boycott Bridgerton!
I usually buy the wife perfume from Boots, for presents and at Christmas as a Tree present. My wife saw the Ad and told me not to buy from Boots anymore. Job done! Well done Boots! I bet we have to accept Ramadan and Eid though won't we? If we are meant to be inclusive and diverse, then let's be just that! Leave our Holidays alone!
Christian isn’t a British holiday. Other people exist and are allowed to be represented during the holidays. Christmas isn’t for racist homophobes it’s for EVERYONE
Everybody should watch and absorb the wonderfulness of the 1947 Christmas film “The Bishops Wife” with Loretta Young, Cary Grant, David Niven, Monty Wooley and Elsa Lanchester. Utterly heartwarming and very gentle - without sickening schmultz! I have watched it at least twenty times and each time I notice something that I missed before. It restores my soul. Go on, open your hearts and treat yourselves. 😊❤️
Don’t support Boots when doing your Xmas shopping , there are other stores to choose from , as 😮somebody has just written Superdrug , Clinton’s cards , Marks and Spencer’s or any stores or local shops in your area . That women in the advert hates the British heritage and way of life .
Christmas should be celebrated in the UK as it always was...xmas carolers singing at your door, snow gently falling, roaring fires, hot chocolate,,opening presents after turkey and all the trimmings etc etc. If anyone wants to attend church they should do so. England is predominately a Christian country and should fiercely uphold that belief. If anyone wants to be different, do that in your own home not push your agenda onto the masses, it 's not welcome by the majority! Fly the Union Jack and be proud of that
I can remember it all starting years back on general adverts. A family would have a token black person, Indian and perhaps a gay or Chinese person. Now it’s gone to whole new levels. Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. A very sad indictment of the state of our country.
My grandmother would turn in her grave at todays sick society give it a rest and leave our Christmas alone if you don't like it visit another country for Christmas
@@dianecameron137 what are you shouting for with your caps lock on! Like many on here I am entitled to my opinion whether you like it or not seriously calm down
It's just as bad here in Canada. There will be a commercial that is supposed to be a group of "friends" gathered in a living room, and one is white, one black, one Asian, one Indian, and one wearing a gay rainbow shirt. The type of gathering you would NEVER see in reality.
Boots are shutting 300 stores making hard working people redundant. But can afford an disgusting advert which has pushed shoppers away.
Exactly! They really put the last nail in the coffin.

My mate's lad works at a call centre and has been told not to wish anyone 'happy Christmas' in case he offends anyone. A lady wished him a happy Christmas last week (he revolved an issue for her) and he said it back and was warned about it. His colleague filmed the telling off he got and threatened to post it so the bosses are now 'reviewing' the situation🙄
M&S was appalling last year too - no longer have their card and will be boycotting Boots now too!!
Have you seen this year's ?
M&S staff get tired of all the weirdos turning up thinking they are going to a fetish shop.
I saw it. Gross
@kiaaurora I wondered how labour would close down Christmas markets .easy just say they are a target for Islamists but hang on. Does this mean labour are calling islam followers terrorists. .at Christmas just give your family's presents and don't give the greedy companies a big hike in profits in December
Just stay in your house and don't go out in case something woke offends you. That's my advice 😂
It's a terribly black advert. Let that sink in. Is that an acceptable thing to say ? Why is it acceptable to say about white people.

Anti Christmas and disrespectful

I will keep saying Merry Christmas because it is a celebration of Christ!! I have had enough of the "woke" brigade trying to reinvent the wheel!!
By the way, I am a Christian woman who happens to be Black, not that it should matter, I give credit where credit is due.
Thank you. Credit where credit is due!
Exactly, so many saying ‘go toSuperdrug’ - go to the small independent pharmacies, whilst they still exist!
Yes I try to support local and independent shops where possible. Sadly they are getting less and less.

Don’t shop at boots
I haven’t shopped at boots for years the last time I went in with my sister .couldn’t get an assistant to help because we looked like poor little old ladies . My sister has money she spent nearly Two hundred pounds on what she wanted and came away with. We both said we not coming back in here it’s not a good experience.
Agree very poor customer service ......very Judgemental....
I won’t miss boots, always go Superdrug much cheaper 😊
Are the people who make this sort of advert in the real world i don’t think so
The message has gone out telling Woke people to continue shopping at Boots.
ENOUGH NOW. if you can't respect a Christian country. LEAVE 😡😡😡
Britain isn't a Christian country as a majority of people identify as having no religion. There is no reason why we cannot still enjoy the festive period though.
it is a Christian country. Our whole nationality is based in christianity. It doesn't matter whether many people state they don't have a religion.
It's not a Christian country though. The majority are agnostic at best and many are atheist so the Christians are in the minority. Only 1 million out of a population of 65 million go to church.
@@christinewright110 oh no it isn't 😂 but like a Christmas pantomime really. More Muslims than practicing Christians. Most of us aren't brainwashed.
@@christinewright110 Most of our traditions are pre-christian such as Pagan. Winter festival "Yule" which became Christmas, Ēostre which was a festival of fertility which became easter (rabbits and eggs are nothing to do with Jesus). Our laws are not based on Christian laws, otherwise they would be too barbaric...
I taught in a Hebrew school in Las Vegas, I am Christian. A majority of the children in my care celebrated the giving of presents and Christmas tree at Christmas. Christmas is and always has been a happy giving celebration, all are welcome to join us. We don’t need this woke nonsense thrown at us every time the tv is turned on. My tv is turned off and will remain off until normality is resumed. A very merry Christmas to all.
The best Christmas ad made for a good while was the sainsburys ww1 ad, that ad hit hard. Let's have more like that and not the dribble that boots have come out with. Make Britain Great Again
They won't! If they made it now the 1st World War would be depicting our soldiers as fat, wearing hijabs, gay, black, and muslims.

In Leeds yesterday. Having dodged the terrorist barriers and feeling safe at the prospect of armed police at the christmas markets, I took a moment to admire the "holiday" lights that studiously avoid any reference to Christianity and remarkably Santa too. Joy to you all.

I've also noticed over the last few weeks ITV and BBC have started referring to Christmas as "the holidays are around the corner" how long before CHRISTmas becomes offensive.
I don't fund them anymore, ok I no longer have a TV, but I don't miss it. To be honest I think the days of traditional TV are coming to an end anyway, the companies just haven't realised it yet. If they did they wouldn't be spending a fortune winding up what little audiences they have left.
Its not people of colour changing the terms, remember that.

I was born in Kenya and lived there for 53 years. Ever since they gained independence in 1963, every ruling family has been black. Fancy that, an African country being ruled by black families. The British royal family welcomed a person of colour into their midst, but look how that worked out.

Very well said. And if somebody said, Their Royal family was too black, I would think, what, a ridiculous thing to say, about the Kenyan Royal family, just as I did during our coronation. People like her, cause division, when there is no need. And these companies are jumping on the band wagon. Well, their bandwagon, will stop rolling, when they start losing all their profits.

Please define what woke is
@@Im_Zion over-the-top, virtue-signalling bourgeois liberalism.
As a practicing Muslim who loves his religion dearly, I have grown up in a Christian school that celebrated Christmas. And I remember loving the atmosphere that time of year. We sung holy songs and modern ones, and the festivity and vibrance surrounding that time was honestly some of the best memories I've had at that school.
I wouldn't mind if a Muslim showed up in a TV ad about Christmas-at the end of the day, they're most likely just enjoying the festivity of it. And that's fine, I mean heck, I have been eating mince pies every year around this time and went to see Santa last year. It was a ball of a time.
But this TV ad is just misandristic without even hiding it. And in my honest opinion, goes against Christian values and beliefs. If there was a TV ad like this about Eid, I wouldn't be happy at all. And would actively complain about it!
Their Head of Marketing is a chap called Pete Markey - he won a Marketing Award last year......suspect it will be his last - this advert will cost Boots MILLION of ££££££s. Well done Wokeists !!
Yes I’m sure the interview went something like this…
Boots: We saw that M&S generated a lot of publicity last year with their Anti-Christmas campaign so we want something like that
Pete Markey: Hold my Bud Light!

Everybody should watch and absorb the wonderfulness of the 1947 Christmas film “The Bishops Wife” with Loretta Young, Cary Grant, David Niven, Monty Wooley and Elsa Lanchester. Utterly heartwarming and very gentle - without sickening schmultz! I have watched it at least twenty times and each time I notice something that I missed before. It restores my soul. Go on, open your hearts and treat yourselves. 😊❤️
Love this film and its message ❤

I’ve had enough of having this shoved down my throat. I won’t be going to Boots either.
They are all wasting their money as I don't watch any adverts.
Keep politics out of business
Don’t support Boots when doing your Xmas shopping , there are other stores to choose from , as 😮somebody has just written Superdrug , Clinton’s cards , Marks and Spencer’s or any stores or local shops in your area . That women in the advert hates the British heritage and way of life .
Christmas should be celebrated in the UK as it always was...xmas carolers singing at your door, snow gently falling, roaring fires, hot chocolate,,opening presents after turkey and all the trimmings etc etc. If anyone wants to attend church they should do so. England is predominately a Christian country and should fiercely uphold that belief. If anyone wants to be different, do that in your own home not push your agenda onto the masses, it 's not welcome by the majority!
Fly the Union Jack and be proud of that
I can remember it all starting years back on general adverts. A family would have a token black person, Indian and perhaps a gay or Chinese person. Now it’s gone to whole new levels. Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. A very sad indictment of the state of our country.
