Today's Daily Mail advertisers include @CoopUK @Google @MarksandSpencer @Morrisons @LidlUK @TheAA_UK @abrdnInv_UK @ImagineCruising @FredOlsenCruise & @SkiptonBS
The Daily Mail does not speak for Britain - pass it on...
Some newspapers like to claim that they represent the views of Britain, so we commissioned a poll to find out what people really think: ==> stopfundinghate.info/2017/12/18/you… & d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_upload…
In common with every UK-based organisation we know that has publicly supported trans people, Stop Funding Hate has faced abuse & harassment in response to our work challenging media transphobia. 1/ stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
But the point of Stop Funding Hate is to challenge all forms of hate, and stand in solidarity with everyone facing marginalisation & discrimination, even when this generates a significant backlash. /2 #WeStandTogether stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
At a time when some UK organisations have been wavering in the face of a sustained “anti woke” backlash, we think it is more important than ever for #StopFundingHate to stand in solidarity with our trans supporters & the wider trans community /3 stopfundinghate.info/2018/09/28/sto…
Today's Mail on Sunday advertisers include @SkyUK @MarksandSpencer @Sainsburys @British_Airways @Tesco @LidlGB @Specsavers @SkiptonBS @ImagineCruising @Screwfix @CottonTradersUK & @BT_UK
The Mail on Sunday are airing demands for trans athletes to be forced to "compete in a separate category" & claim to have "led the way" on this. Do @MarksandSpencer @Tesco & @British_Airways endorse the Mail's call for trans exclusion or will they distance themselves from it?

The year that #StopFundingHate launched in 2016, there were over 100 anti-migrant front pages across UK newspapers - most especially in the Sun, Daily Mail and Express. 1/
Together we've shown that when enough of us speak out, advertisers will respond - and it can make a real difference. In recent years, there's been a marked reduction in anti-migrant UK front pages. #StopFundingHate works: thedrum.com/news/2019/08/0… /2
But now the Daily Mail & other UK media have shifted towards a new target. They are repeatedly running toxic & inflammatory "clickbait" stories about trans people, and the problem is escalating. /3 pinknews.co.uk/2022/01/25/cou…

Earlier this year Stop Funding Hate was the subject of a complaint to the CIC Regulator, alleging that our work was in breach of the law and amounted to “political” activity. This allegation was wholly unfounded and we are pleased to confirm that it has not been upheld. /1
Self-evidently, #StopFundingHate’s work seeking to persuade private companies not to advertise with toxic media does not fall under the definition of “political” activity outlined in the CIC rules here: legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1788…
/2
Around the world, those challenging racism and campaigning for human rights are frequently subjected to false allegations of illegality & law-breaking. While it's sad to see this happening in the UK, #StopFundingHate will not be diverted by this. /3 frontlinedefenders.org/en/violation/s…

We got a message earlier today from the Sunday Telegraph who say that they’re running yet another story tomorrow targeting Stop Funding Hate /1
This follows an earlier Sunday Telegraph report in August, claiming that a group of MPs had written to the CIC Regulator to complain about Stop Funding Hate’s work /2 archive.is/wm9K3
We know that similar vexatious claims about Stop Funding Hate were dismissed by the CIC Regulator in 2018. /3

@Axelisys @coopuk .@CoopUK have been among the most prolific funders of toxic media that we've seen, despite the overwhelming vote for Responsible Advertising at the 2018 AGM. Coop claim to want to be "anti-racist in all we do" but their advertising tells a different story. blog.coop.co.uk/2020/09/24/our…
@Axelisys @coopuk Our volunteers haven't reported any Coop ads on GB News this week, but based on their public statements we expect @CoopUK to be advertising again on GB News soon, notwithstanding this issue: newsweek.com/trump-russia-j…
@Axelisys @coopuk More background here on the 2018 Coop AGM vote on Responsible Advertising, which passed with 96% of the vote: stopfundinghate.info/2018/05/25/96-…

If you're a @Discovery customer, staff member or shareholder, you may be surprised to learn that they are a major investor in GB News #DontFundGBNews deadline.com/2020/09/gb-new…
So @Discovery talk about "bringing the world a little closer together" & say that "We stand for equity, inclusion, and mutual respect". How do they square this with investing in a TV channel accused of "opening the gates of hell" on transphobia? pinknews.co.uk/2021/06/23/ind… Image
.@Discovery say they are "proud to play an important role as the most-trusted portfolio of family-friendly brands around the globe". Meanwhile over at their controversial UK TV channel, GB News: theguardian.com/media/2021/jul…

Share if you agree that now would be a good time for the Society of Editors to finally sort out their position on UK media racism... theguardian.com/media/2021/mar…
"I have lost confidence in the Society of Editors ever delivering such a statement" theguardian.com/media/2021/mar…
Meanwhile, the UK newspaper industry's Editors Code guidelines *still* have a whole section spelling out that comparing migrants to "cockroaches" is acceptable under their rules: editorscode.org.uk/downloads/code… Image
