Episode 544: Sponsorship for Christmas FM in Ireland not resonating

I asked a search engine. - why are people boycotting Coca Cola?People are boycotting Coca-Cola due to concerns over its alleged involvement in unethical labor practices, environmental issues, and its operations in disputed regions, particularly in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Additionally, rumors about the company laying off Latino workers and reporting them to immigration officials have fueled calls for a boycott among Latino communities.I can’t believe anyone in Ireland going around an Irish supermarket feels Coca Cola is the right sponsor for ‘the magic of Christmas’Christ under the Rubble:https://youtu.be/Q-1brSPn66w?si=FVNeuagt9CZmPkpF
