The Wombles collaborate with Sir Paul McCartney for Meat Free Monday campaign
Sir Paul McCartney launched the Meat Free Monday campaign back in 2009. Now, The Wombles - already the world's most famous litter-pickers - are joining forces with the star to offer veggie recipes as part of their ongoing work to do their bit for the environment.
I'm not sure, but this campaign comes across as sour grapes to me. It suggests the Wombles were not invited to COP26 so they came up with this idea to grab some publicity of their own. A pity though, the Wombles seemed to be a shoo-in for the main event.

I wonder what wombles taste like.
They were not invited because they are clearly a coded patriarchal slur. "Wombles" = "Womb-less", i.e., men. They are the ones clearing up all the mess, and McCartney's "Meat Free Mondays" is clearly a veiled reference to men having to make a sandwich because their wives are no longer in the kitchen.
Andy - like dining out on an old glove I imagine, but maybe a good long stewing with some seasonal vegetables would work.
Sam - ha ha - that's an analysis worth passing on to the BBC or the Guardian.
