Anti-slavery campaigners are calling for the public to boycott Thatchers cider after claiming it has links to a shameful chapter in the UK's past.
A Bristol -based pressure group called Countering Colston has asked people not to buy the popular booze brand following a recent tweet naming Martin Thatcher, the company's director, as a member of the Society of the Merchant Venturers.
They describe the organisation as an "elite private members club," a once prominent member of which was notorious 17th century slave trader Edward Colston - whose statue was toppled by protestors into the River Avon in June 2020.
