Jack Daniels has bowed under pressure!

Jack Daniels, the US beverage brand (whiskey-maker has bowed under pressure and announced (supposedly to Robby Starbuck) that they have decided to drop diversity, equity and inclusion programmes.  This affects the 5700 employees of the Brown-Forman Corporation which has the Jack Daniels brand, and has an impact on the wider population of the USA and the world.

See the article in the Pink News:
