For the past 14 years George Clooney has been the face of Nespresso. Rumour has it he's already earned northwards of $40 million as the brand's ambassador during that time.
Clooney markets himself as a political, social and environmental activist. He is a member of the Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade International and the Fair Labour Association, to name a few pet causes.
He also sits on the board of Nespresso's 'sustainability advisory board', which supposedly works to ensure that Nespresso sources coffee from well-run farms.
His wife, Amal Clooney (née Alamuddin) is a Lebanese-British barrister specialising in international law and human rights. In May 2014, Amal Clooney was a signatory of UNICEF UK and Jemima Khan's open letter that called for "action from UK Government to protect women and children".
So you'd think that these two woke political activists and moralists - especially Georgie - would do a bit of homework when it came to who was farming and harvesting the coffee beans that Nespresso uses in their products.
You'd think that if he's on the advisory board to keep an eye on the farms, he'd be aware that some of the farms were using child labour?? That children as young as 11 were working eight-hour days on sites in Guatemala that allegedly supplies Nespresso??
But you'd be wrong.
Asked to comment on the revelation, Clooney said Nespresso has 'a lot of work to do'.......
See how easy it is to be woke? You get to lecture everyone else about how to live, what thoughts to think, and what just causes need your urgent attention, while not having to look around your own backyard to see the dog turds littering your own grass.
Obama's BFF, Mr Woke, is very concerned about refugees - he called refugees the biggest human crisis back in 2016. Yet, Mr Woke, who is worth a minimum of $500 million, and has an extensive property portfolio, including homes in America, Mexico, Italy and England, has never, as far as I'm aware, housed any of these 'poor refugees' he bangs on about in any of his many mansions peppered around the globe.
His English mansion in Berkshire has 9 bedrooms - think of all the refugees he could home and care for in his mansion on his dime....
No, Mr Woke thinks he's doing enough by just speaking out. No need to actually do something or put your own money where your mouth is....words are enough. Virtual signalling is the new form of charity.
In March 2019 Mr Woke called for the immediate boycott of the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Hotel Bel-Air and six others due to LGBTQ laws in Brunei.
So, refugees are the biggest human crisis and LBGTQ laws demand boycotts, but child labour gets a piss-weak 'lots of work to do' from Mr Woke......
See, being woke means never having to say sorry for your failings. Your moral goodness automatically cancels out any mistakes you may make. As a virtue-signaller, your burden is to point out the mistakes and failings of others, while taking offence on behalf of another party.
Hard life, but someone's gotta do it.
