In a world of unrestrained wokeness, Mattel, the manufacturers of Barbie and Ken dolls, have surpassed themselves. In fact, they could be considered to be taking the right royal piss out of the doll purchasing public, mainly young girls (although..). Not content with producing dolls in a variety of shades to please nobody and, in […]
I am not the first and, with any luck, won’t be the last to comment on the latest load of bollocks from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP).
