I agree, if I used them I'd boycott them.

The squaddies deserve better, we should treat them like the Yanks do theirs.

This includes the RAF and the cream of them all The Royal Navy!

If any premises disallowed soldiers or military personell they should be boycotted, it is a total disgrace.


But be aware that there have been spoofs in the past similar to this, I think there was one with starbucks and so it may not be genuine and could be a disgruntled employee or similar.

Well...

Apart from the fact I would have assumed something with the word Dove in it would be owed by a bunch of lentil munching tree hugging liberal halfwits so wouldn't go near the place at gun point

It would be a good place to go and trash - the fact they ban folk in uniform means the coppers wouldn't be allowed in to arrest you.

And what they always forget - bless em - is that if it wasn't for the folk prepared to fight and die for this country they would be serving Fuc$ing sauerkraut and brockwurst whilst wearing leaderhosen with their hair in plaits :angryfire:

I wanted to boycott that hotel that turned the squadie away a few weeks ago...

Not actually boycott - but what I wanted to do might be seen as 'incitement to riot' and might get the board in some trouble :oops:

Aresholes to the Fuc$ing lot of them :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire:
Nothing you do is a waste of time - especially if it can be used as a bad example by others...

i can understand her anti war sentiments; tis true this war is based on lies but as a wise man once uttered:

there are 3 casualties of War; the Truth, the Civilians and then the Soldiers.

does this women think that that the soldiers sat around the round table and decided to go to war with Iraq? they just got sent there (cannon fodder for the elite is all they are) and to treat them like this not only lacks compassion but understanding of worldly affairs.

:wtf:
She's probably been on a date with a squadie and he's left her hanging
after firing his weapon, and then gone back to his pint and mates

All that l can hope for is that her coffee shop hits the floor and she has a
long painful life and death
There would be less trouble in the world
if l had not had six daughters

I dont see why there is such a fuss.... :shock:
Its her shop, she should be able to have whoever she wants in there.

Plenty of other cafes, coffe shops about. Shes loosing out by banning people, not the people who are banned. :scratch:
