BBC doing its usual bad job...

[Tesla73]

I saw this story in the week and my first thought was wasnt this a narrative that was all over Twitter not so long ago being used to smear womens rights activists making out that in particular Posey Parkers stickers had razors behind them to hurt whoever tried to remove them

thecritic.co.uk/did-the-anti-lockdown-razor-story-really-happen/

in those cases no one could ever provide evidence that it actually happened and the consensus was that it was a big lie being pushed TRAs

so how surprising to see who is actually behind this anti-vax razor poster "story"

but obviously auntie beeb isnt going to question it due to who is peddling it

There was a similar story on The Guardian Facebook page about this happening in London. No evidence in the article that it had actually happened that I could see. Loads of horrified replies with the odd old fogey like me pointing out it seems to be nothing more than a 'penguin in the bath' story than I first saw in the time of the National Front. Probably goes back further than that.

There have been threads on MN about the 'razor blade behind the sticker/poster stories' for previous controversies. It does feel like an Urban Myth at this point but it's like 'babies on bayonets' it surfaces to suit people's narratives on a regular basis. E.g.:

"this isn’t news, it’s cheerleading."

Quite so.
