Trying to get people out to the pubs again after Covid.

Imagine “boycotting” places because you think the owner is a bit of a pillock and is always talking crap in the daily Mail

Do you know who owns all the pubs you go in and shops you spend money in? Or is it just JDW.

In answer to the second part of your post yes - I'd say probably 90% of pubs and almost everyone I transact with online (I don't use shops in a physical sense).

We are seeing a significant uplift in awareness from young people currently (thankfully!) in the ethics, morals and sustainable values of those they spend money with. In years to come I predict it will actually be the main motivating factor behind many purchases. Price will play a part but our race to the bottom economy has resulted in multiple vendors of poor quality, cheap products - one of the only ways to differentiate in future will be the morality of those you chose to buy from.

That's a non-sequitur. Undoubtedly, they would be taken over.

By who? Do you want people to pay more for a beer to make you feel better.

Re some of the posts it's not the staff who are complaining.

What about all the staff who work in his pubs? Are they morally corrupt for taking his money?

I guessed as much.

Yes.

morals are great if you can afford them. And the right to choose who you do business with is personal and sacrosanct.

It's all because the fella is a Brexiteer. Nothing less. They won't go in his pubs, fair enough. But to wish ill fortune on his business that provides an income to thousands is just small minded, bitter and twisted.
Just because they don't agree with him.

Let's be honest though, if he wasn't in business the customers would need serving elsewhere and those jobs would still exist

All hypothetical. If he wasn't in business, then them pubs may not exist at all.

They probably wouldn't, a very niche gap in the market was identified and exploited.

They only exist because of demand, that demand didn't come about because of JD Wetherspoon pubs, it just relocated. As you would say, it put people out of work in other premises that couldn't compete.
