BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[PR1Berske]

Did you even read the article? He was criticising the government, NOT the unions.

He's saying that the strikes are damaging his business, so of course he's attacking the unions.

Don't be ridiculous. Read the fucking article.

 

[pesh]

Just did, didn’t see a single negative word against the government, just a demand they ‘get a grip’ on the strikes.

 

[brogdale]

Don't be ridiculous. Read the fucking article.

There's really not that much to go on in the linked article, tbh, but urging the Government to "get a grip" could certainly be read as code for calling for some 'strong arm' tactics against the strikes. Sounds like a carefully worded attack on organised labour that can't be seen to be directly so; weaselly little man.

Don't ever swear at me again.

fuck off

Could you quote the negative words against the unions?

It could just as easily be read as calling for the government to give the union what they demand. Unless you can quote exactly what he is saying against the unions.

This is the worst way to stop people swearing at you. Cat cunt.

Are you gaslighting or just thick?

 

[eatmorecheese]

ITS KICKING OFF

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Are you gaslighting or just thick?

Shall I take that as a No, you can't quote any negativity against the unions?

 

[belboid]

He doesn't say pay them, does he? No indication that the unions are, y'know, right.

I like the humblebrag bit best in that risible piece - "ohhh, it won't affect us, we're just thinking of all those other, less successful, companies". My arse.

 

[Pickman's model]

Don't ever swear at me again.

Or what?

Brewdog - they disrespect women who work for them, the beers are awful, their adverts are misogynistic, and their Urban fans are pig-headed bores.

Thread ignored. Enjoy your Punk IPA.

But apart from that …

 

[PR1Berske]

But apart from that …

As you've quoted me I'll add that the article proves they're anti-Union, and once upon a time Urban would have found that disagreeable.

 

[MickiQ]

The most interesting thing about that link is that there is something called the Foodservice Equipment Journal, talk about niche journalism.

But it’s not like it’s important though, is it?

Some of their beers are really nice though

Could you quote any positive words supporting the union? I can certainly show you this Union claim Brewdog snubbed attempts to engage in discussions amid worker concerns

Speaking like a classic Tory boss, the bullying creep is demanding that the government 'get a grip' on union activity because it's reducing his fat profits,

 

[editor]

It could just as easily be read as calling for the government to give the union what they demand. Unless you can quote exactly what he is saying against the unions.

Yet, somehow, not a single word of support for the strike action can be found in his comments. But if you're insisting that he's actually pro strike, could you find some examples of him giving his full backing to a strike that directly affects his business in the past?

Their beer still tastes like pish.

Where have I insisted that he's pro-strike?

 

[editor]

You're suggesting it right here:

It could just as easily be read as calling for the government to give the union what they demand.

So at least we can now agree there's not a shred of evidence to suggest he is pro-strike or pro-union, Thank you.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

You said I INSISTED he was pro-strike.

 

[editor]

You said I INSISTED he was pro-strike.

Given the sheer volume of posts you've contributed suggesting that he's just a poor misunderstood pro union guy, I'd say my comment was entirely justified.

Oh, I see. So we're allowed to lie about what other people have said now? And ascribe opinions to people?

This is essentially the whole of this thread - it's a kind of therapy for the brewdog obsessives; lets them get some stuff off their chests and provides mild entertainment for the rest of us. A win-win situation - don't worry about it.
