Daily Mail attacks National trust over Henry VIII but left with egg on face

'This is the maddest story I could remember seeing since Wokewatch was invented!'

The Daily Mail launched a new attack on the National Trust. They said that the trust has rebranded Henry as a ‘disabled king.’

As you can see from the Tweet below, it is true.

But the plot thickens, more of that later.

Article in today’s Daily Mail. The Trust didn’t remove Easter from its egg hunts. We did say Henry VIII used mobility aids because it’s true. Was research though – not a rebrand. We’re not allowed to rebrand historic figures as far as I know – that’d make my job sought-after 🤔 pic.twitter.com/LrgfkGjyHM

But that wasn’t the worst bit…stay with me!

Even James O'Brien is surprised at the Daily Mail's desperateness in suggesting it's woke to say a disabled man – Henry VIII – was in fact disabled.@mrjamesob pic.twitter.com/bK1Z88XfUs

Some of those sneaky social media types had spotted a previous Mail article saying the same thing about the wife killing king!

The article was titled: “Henry VIII used his very own ‘stairthrone’ when the steps became too much.”

The article covered historian Dr David Starkey’s research.

One paragraph reads:

Mr Starkey, who found the evidence of the stairlift in a detailed list of the King’s possessions drew attention to the stairlift in a battle of words with a fellow historian that Henry VIII was disabled by his ‘gross obesity.’

Here is another passage from the article!

Mr Starkey said that far from being vigorous, the evidence points to Henry VIII being barely able to walk unaided. ‘It was a terribly misleading story to say the King was able-bodied,’ Mr Starkey said.

Reactions

1.

In fact Henry VIII legs were so infected they had puss streaming out of them with a stench, that even in such times, was unbearable. Henry had his legs bandaged and treated daily as the infection was so bad. This isn’t woke, it’s the truth. Read any good history book 📕

So many bigots throw the word ‘woke’ at anything and clearly don’t know what the word means and use it as a bigots weapon.

They've failed again. They should stay with their specialist subject, which is trying to destroy the lives of H and M, who, as we know, are dragging them through the courts.
