More Wokery at the National Trust

[paulfromcamden]

The Daily Mail is running with the alarming exclusive that National Trust scones are VEGAN!!!

Critics have condemned the use of a vegetable-based spread instead of butter in the baking as a 'virtue-signalling betrayal', in what looks like yet another woke row involving the charity.

Campaign group Restore Trust, which wants to rid the charity of its 'divisive ideologies' and 'activism', slammed the move.

Swivel-eyed loon Sir Bill Cash MP, who often has tea and scones in the House of Commons, said: 'It makes me wonder what will happen next – will they stop selling Madeira cake because of historical events in Madeira? There's far too much wokery going on at the National Trust, this is just the latest example.'

I enjoyed the National Trust's response (and the comments)

My Wife and I are members of the National Trust and we quite often the odd old house that serves Scones and tea. The scones are actually rather yummy.

You mean the DM story wasn’t an April fools joke?

Please tell me that this swivel eyed loonery is an April Fool joke. Oh hang on, no, it's the Daily Fascist, sorry, Mail.To

So, shock horror, scones can be made with vegetable fat if you wish. In other shock news, a salad made with cucumber, tomatoes and olives contains NO animal products, but is edible only if you are a woke, snowflake drip who likes that foreign muck (contd. on p. 94)

You might like to think it were but this is the Daily Hate we're looking at.

That's how the wokery starts Mick. Too many of those yummy scones and you'll find yourself scoffing tofu and reading The Guardian.

Then the DM has truly jumped the shark.

It happened long ago. Google CM headlines for proof. Honestly, when you see them together it looks like a spoof.

I think SirBill’s line was written for him by a nymphette at The Sun.

And now someone is even making them with dried cranberries and icing!

I don’t know what that triangular abomination is, but it’s no scone I’d recognise. Madness.

In my defence I was alerted to the story by The Guardian (I wish I could say I was also eating tofu)

A cafe in Llandudno does scones containing Turkish Delight.

You read the Guardian? Who actually does that?

 

[Beobloke]

I genuinely didn’t know the NT didn’t use butter in their scones.

Whilst the whole ‘wokery’ thing is daft, it might explain why their scones are dry, claggy in the mouth and, frankly, not very pleasant.

NT Scones? Ppft! I very highly recommend NTs vegan curried cauliflower pasties - they’re teh orsomes.
