Laurence Fox has announced that he’s boycotting Sainsbury’s as he accused the supermarket of promoting “racial segregation and discrimination”.

The actor, who describes himself as a “Fierce Liberal” told his 238,000 Twitter followers that he’ll never shop in Sainsbury’s again.

It came after a statement from the company’s official account spoke of how they would be marking Black History Month, an annual observance of black history and culture celebrated around the world.

The statement read: “We are proud to celebrate Black History Month together with our Black colleagues, customers and communities and we will not tolerate racism.

“We proudly represent and serve our diverse society and anyone who does not want to shop with an inclusive retailer is welcome to shop elsewhere.”
