Lovely way to make yourselves unpopular with the staff when then have to sort everything out at the end of the day. But hey, they're minimum wage so it's ok right?

Apparently there's a growing trend of turning USA products upside-down or back-to-front on supermarket shelves, to warn others not to buy them.

The Ukrainian flag is once again flying on the Corner House.

You will find a number of lists of American companies to avoid, with suggestions for replacement products in Canada (for fairly obvious reasons).

So far I have not seen an equivalent page for UK replacements.

Also, not all US companies are on board with Trump. A blanket approach to being anti-American isn't helpful and not particularly positive when thinking about the number of Americans who live in Charlbury.

There are boycotting apps like No Thanks but it is focused on Israel.
The question of how to boycott American companies is a hot topic in places like Denmrk at the moment, but it requires a lot of work to vet and input data.

Is there some way that one can check for American ownership in the shopping ... and avoid it?

(Question expecting the answer No, dammit).

Agreed! Maybe we could have a joint Palestine/Ukraine flag?

May I respectfully suggest that in view of what has happened across the pond, it would be appropriate to reinstate the Ukrainian flag on the Corner House?
