So so annoying. Also no sense of the beautiful things that can be created. Of the joy it brings. Of the tradition and history behind it. Of the skill, the artisans, the sheep, the spinners and dyers. Nothing except gimmick

Exactly this! Me and my OH were discussing it this morning. We watched back to back war movies in our childhood and teens because that’s all that was on the telly. It never made us think Hitler was a good thing! Such a ridiculous article.
