Free coffee isn’t going to create a hostile work environment.

@BraddSzonye Neither is the daily wail, it is gutter press to be sure, and rather strident with it, but few people consider anything in it to be serious journalism as opposed to popularist rabble rousing. As to the coffee, some bugger put decaf in our coffee jar the other week, the engineering team were hostile to this notion.

@BraddSzonye - Free bad coffee will. You obviously don't know any hard-core coffee drinkers. :D A trashy tabloid newspaper sitting on a table isn't going to create a hostile work environment, either. We are talking about a public newspaper, trashy as it is, not the monthly newsletter or recruiting pamphlets for a neo-nazi white supremacist organization

@KonradRudolph "Stop Funding Hate" is itself an extremely controversial campaign that has been widely criticised as far-left and illiberal. The existence of a campaign proves nothing, any more than the occasional success of PETA proves that eating meat is not acceptable in the mainstream. PETA too have had some success in getting advertising pulled. So?

@KonradRudolph you are making no sense. Of course it has a bearing. That's a silly thing to say. You keep repeating the same falsehood that in the UK people generally consider the Daily Mail to be beyond the pale so that it's mere presence creates a hostile working environment. This is simply untrue, only a tiny minority of people think that. I assume you repeat it because you believe it - I don't call you a liar - but you are wrong.
