Christmas Goes Wonkily Woke
A chocolate company making advent calendars purposely left the space for 8 December empty. In the wake of complaints the company say the advent calendar was designed with the same unequal distribution of chocolate as its bars, which highlights the use of slavery in the chocolate industry. Tony’s also acknowledged that it “failed to consider the difficulties empty windows can cause for our neurodivergent children and adults”.
I've no idea what 'neurodivergent children and adults” are - but I'll stick to Quality Street.

Naomi... I just hope they had an equal distribution of white chocolate and dark chocolate, or I won't be able to sleep tonight ;o)

Gromit, the report is from the Independent.
As well-intentioned as this sort of thing might be - and that, in my opinion, is debateable - it so often has its proponents climbing up their own bottoms. They remove a chocolate to highlight slavery and inadvertently succeed in upsetting others who they would also very much like to virtue signal all over. An 'oops' moment.
