Boycott Investment and Shareholding
(No this isn't about Isreal [sic] although BDS is working...)
Another idea to get money into the National Kitty.
See previous posts.
1/ Pick a SINGLE target. (Apart from RBS that is.)
[ASIDE
A scattershot, scattergun mass boycott of everyone diffuses the campaign.
This needs to be focussed. JUST on one really good (or bad) example.
]
It must be a purely Scottish based firm, not B&Q and the like.
They are too big with outlets outside the reach of for a small
grassroots movement of 1.6 million people (!)
Ideally they should be a -shall we say- less than wholesome firm
with a bad record of overcharging; exploitation; meaness;..
They MUST have shares.
2/ Do some research, find out where they are vulnerable or where they can be exploited
Then boycott them -just the one- visibly, incessantly, remorselessly.
Drive their business away; drive them into the ground; drive down their share price.
3/ Then buy into them! This is BIS not BDS. Subtle difference. 1.6 million shareholders
voting as a "the45er" bloc to change company policy to wit relocation. Or previous bad practice.
4/ With their capitulation: lift the boycott. Watch their share price rise.
(It's called a hostile takeover. The City does it all the time.)
5/ Now promote the firm with your 1.6 million consumers.
Ka-ching
