The Mamnick Thread

Basically no one over 12 should do fancy dress.

it’s their issue to deal with not yours

Absolutely, it's their issue. It's also the behaviour of a cunt and needs to be called out, which is what we're doing.

unfairly trying to shut down a mans small business

We're not trying to shut it down, Thom's doing that on his own. We're just calling out a racist cunt when we see one. What happens to his business is up to him and his customers

feeling I would be judged for not having the latest hip bike or silly little cycling cap on

I couldn't give a fuck who rides a bike, let alone sympathisers and apologists for racist cunts. Have you tried golf?

I am not a cyclist, I have no idea about brands and all the stuff you guys specialise in BUT you have helped me to make a decision regarding cycling. I won’t be taking this up as a hobby.

Grow up, snowflake.

Yeah, fuck off.

You’d think with 5+ years experience running fake online personas Thom would be better at crafting believable characters.

Morning, Thom.

I am not a friend of Thom, I have no idea about brands and all the stuff you guys specialise in BUT you have helped me to make a decision regarding Thom. I wouldn’t want him as a friend.

Anyway Thom has been repeatedly claiming this has all been great publicity so not sure why you are now here posting. Are you one of his friends in the pub? Interesting that you don’t disagree that he has some pretty indefensible views, so why do you have him as a friend?

Citing Hugo Boss and Mercedes Benz is weird what aboutery. We can and do chose to boycott brands who are affiliated with things we don’t approve of, it’s ethical consumerism.

Even better, it's capitalism. And free market.
Which is what Thom loves so much.

These interventions by friends are pretty similar to government interventions to save failing industry.
Something I thought Thom didn't like.

Who said you apologised? An apologist is someone who stands up for or defends something controversial, like the most controversial ceo or whatever Thom calls himself. Please focus your energy more positively into the dictionary, pal

You’ve tried to dress your argument up a bit, but it boils down to ‘Thom may be a racist, but he’s a local racist, and even actual Nazis who dressed the actual SS make nice clothes, so let’s support him’. It’s not a very strong argument really, is it?

If you’re going to be so blazé about it then why hide behind that anonymous user name and avatar?

Originally is nigh on impossible now

six words that show what an idiot you are

Lol, Hugo Boss dressed the nazis is possibly the best bad argument trying to defend someone who is a bit racist I think I've ever heard. Thom obviously isn't a full on nazi, he's a daft, ignorant, racist round the edges narcissist, but to compare him to actual nazis, in defense of him, is wonderful. Also the disassociating him from his brand stuff is bullshit when he ties himself and his "personality" so closely with it, he's not some faceless money man with little input, and even if he was people have a right to know who they're buying from and if they want to do so.

Most sockpuppetry.

Regarding the originality of some of his products I think people are getting too upset and I feel it’s unfair to try and shut down his brand. If he has directly lifted logos and designs from other brands then let that brand know and let them have a discussion over it, it’s their issue to deal with not yours.

Funny, because Mamnick's Twitter complains about being "ripped off" several times: https://twitter.com/Mamnick/status/809847578389086213

Shite boutique stainless chip forks, needless to say, predated Mamnick by over 20 years but hey ho... What is good for the goose.

It’s like an echo chamber!

Funny that he even says he's withdrawing his patronage and support of the local business in question over this most serious of intellectual copyright infringements...

Almost like he and his sockpuppet accounts are massive fucking hypocrites...

Gavin Turk was making them out of silver when Thom was still in shorts.

He did a run of 100, one with a diamond in it, and raffled them at £100 each for a kids' charity...csb...

Looking for Gavin's outraged Twitter posts demanding reparations...

Well done. That's generally referred to as the 'Jimmy Savile defence.'

Well, he did do a LOT for charity....

i'm pretty sure you can find 6 million reasons why the nazi regime was beyond a mere 'political view'.

Yes. BUT THE UNIFORMS.

I've no idea what I'd do with one*, but I'm really tempted to pop into Bragazzi's and buy a chip fork.

*Probably forget to carry it with me, and use a free wooden one on the rare occasions I visit a chippy.

What weirdo uses a chip fork?

Only lost because they didn’t have Thom making bobble hats for them.

I’ve known Thom on and off for the last 10+ years and while I don’t agree with his political and religious views...

Racism isn’t political.
