Don’t forget to mention the war

By Grey Cardigan greyblog

Never let it be said that The Sun goes easy on those cheese-eating surrender monkeys from across the Channel.

Today’s story about an agency worker who was asked to remove her poppy while working on a Dior perfume counter in the new Westfield mall contains a par of essential context: “During the Second World War, French fashion designer Dior made dresses for the wives of Nazis and countrymen who collaberated with them.”

It’s at times like this that I almost feel sorry for the poor sap in the press office who had to pick up the phone call from Wapping.
