The Spectator got dragged for its claim that the National Trust won’t hire Brexiters

The National Trust (NT) has been something of a target for those with a certain mindset, following its decision to explain the origin of some of the items in its properties, where slavery and colonialism played a part in their acquisition.

An article in The Spectator levelled another charge at the feet of the NT’s perceived ‘wokeness’, and it has to be seen to be not believed.

You don’t know them. They go to another school.

The accusation was, of course, roundly denied, and the Spectator could find itself with a legal battle on its hands.

There was also a more colourful denial, addressed at one comment, but it was – sadly – deleted.

There are questions about the tweet’s origin, however.

Even if the National Trust didn’t genuinely post that burn, other tweeters brought the heat – and these are the best we spotted.

It’s not the first time The Spectator has had the National Trust in its sights.

We’re sure it won’t be the last.
