Linda McCartney has had THE AUDACITY to comment on our plant-powered heroine's newest insta post!
I love your post and could not agree more i'm sorry to hear about the situation in the country you are living in and yes your right the scars of fascism do run deep.I know we have some Germans here in the cabal - a big hug to yous, Jack is such an ignorant little unt with her "edgy" takes. It also shows once again that she knows nothing about life outside her tiny bubble.
I live in a country that has a very long way to go in terms of confronting its past as a fascist dictatorship. We have literal fascists whipping out franquista flags and doing Nazi salutes at protests on a regular basis. A lot of people I know have no idea what happened to their grandparents or where they are buried, as most of the mass graves have still not been exhumed. The scars of fascism run very deep, and they are not about staying home to stop a pandemic.
For someone to compare a multicultural with lightly sexist poster to Nazism is like a teenager calling their mum a fascist because she makes them tidy their room.
Jack is so very stupid.
I wouldn't like it to be Freeman - her TERFy views would only give Jack something to rage against.I’ve said it before, but someone like Hadley Freeman going for the jugular is my ideal scenario. Shes a fellow Guardian-er, but HF does not suffer fools when it comes to crossing lines in this way, and nor should she. Using the Holocaust to bolster her supposedly sharp/scathing/witty Twitter musings, is unbelievably dense and offensive, especially after her inadvisable sliding into Corbyn’s DMs and begging for forgiveness. Is she quite well?
Is that their fumbled attempt at offering an olive branch? They've probably just stoked the fire again!Linda McCartney has had THE AUDACITY to comment on our plant-powered heroine's newest insta post!

This is so mad because she hasn't tagged them, hashtagged their products or anything, and her photo description is about how disappointed she is in them. Their social media team is seriously bleeping this up!Linda McCartney has had THE AUDACITY to comment on our plant-powered heroine's newest insta post!

It's worse than when they were ignoring the situation! What is wrong with them?Is that their fumbled attempt at offering an olive branch? They've probably just stoked the fire again!
God knows what they're playing at, it's as though they're *trying* to wind people up? Here for it though, the worse they handle this the bigger (and more public) it becomes.Is that their fumbled attempt at offering an olive branch? They've probably just stoked the fire again!
Here tooSo sad when a tropical bird dies...RIP
Oh tit, really! I didn’t know that, I’ll have a look. I’ve only ever noticed her work for her zero tolerance perspective on anti-semitism. Good to know, and you’re right in that when people with certain views or political leanings start to question her, she just uses it as an example of bullying and the squiggles swoon.I wouldn't like it to be Freeman - her TERFy views would only give Jack something to rage against.
You can just hear the social media manager chanting 'please let this go away, please let this go away, please let this go away...'. Their interest should lie in protecting their brand, first and foremost. They should have just cut their losses with Jack and taken the hit with not seeing out the contract they had with her. They should have apologised, deleted the posts, then moved on and maybe shared some of the best Veganuary posts from past years or follower contributions.God knows what they're playing at, it's as though they're *trying* to wind people up?

Off topic but Freeman is also one of Woody Allen's staunchest defendersOh tit, really! I didn’t know that, I’ll have a look.

Oh gross! The last few months have seen me go right off the Guardian, is there no such thing as non-problematic publications? I don’t think it’s too much to ask to expect to be able to access news and interesting articles written by people who don’t fall into the categories of calling foster children feral, anti-Semitic, TERF, lying faux poverty, fawning idiot, etc etc etcOff topic but Freeman is also one of Woody Allen's staunchest defenders
wait when was this?Exactly this. Reminds me of the famed dinner party when all the adults around the table laughed at her for talking out of her ass. Wasn't that also because she compared the gov to Nazism?
