Daily Mail Culture War on Scones ends in defeat
There is an irony of culture warriors complaining that National Trust scones are made with margarine, the subject of comment in the Telegraph, Mail and inevitably social media. For them margarine is a code word for vegan and hence Woke.
Culture warriors are rarely much good at the British history they claim to champion and so they are unaware that Churchill’s Cookbook, compiled by his chef in 1958, contains several recipes for cakes using margarine.
The Culture War started to go wrong for the Mail when it was revealed that the paper had previously praised the scones.
Now Celia Richardson who does media for the National Trust has tweeted the results of scone sales in the ten days since the Mail story
Cheese (not vegan) no change
Fruit no change
Plain up 15%
Clearly Woke Scones have won the Culture War
