🧵And we're off, ladies and gentlemen! It's "they're banning the word EASTER" week. Regular as clockwork... So here comes a history lesson and media lesson all rolled into one thread! PS, I can't believe there's no easter egg emoji? This was the best I could do - 🗿🥚 🤣 I digress! 1/19

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated.
Yet now, Cadbury won't even use the word
'Easter' on their eggs.
When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

Any chance I can get an Easter Egg please M&S?
Will they ever learn
It's like they do it on purpose to offend.
Easter is not National Chocolate Day.
Which extremists are you trying hard to not offend?

Nothing to see here, just the leader of the opposition committing contempt of court live on national television. This accusation lead to no conviction after a jury were given the full context. Nobody was “attacked viciously” or has “[gotten] away with it”. The case is ongoing.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

It would be great if VFX artists refused to work with directors who lie and say they don't use VFX. It would also be fascinating to see how their movies would look if they actually didn't have any VFX.
