The NHS is on its knees, there's shit in our water, children are dying of mould inhalation in damp homes their parents can't afford to heat, and we're told that what we should be outraged at is *checks notes* the #nationaltrust's scone recipe.

There's a lot of justified anger in this country right now, and it benefits the shower in government if it's misdirected at bullshit like this. Don't fall for it.

National Trust defends vegan scone recipe after ‘wokery’ criticism

Charity says plain and fruit scones have been dairy-free for years, but can be ‘enjoyed with butter or cream’

The Guardian

@afewbugs #ManufacturedOutrage is exactly right. When you can't govern effectively, distract the people with BS about nothing.

The Tories can't even give us bread & circuses - the best they can come up with is a shitshow about scones.
