| Comment | I think there is a risk of this whole situation crossing the lines in terms of misinformation, even though I dislike Pink Peacock.
What has started the anger was that few hours after Sarah Everard's murderer was sentenced, Pink Peacock posted on their social media that they are now selling handcuff keys. From their (what I am assuming) perspective is that they wanted people to be aware that they could protect themselves or others from arrest. However the way they approached this was inappropriate. Given the terrifying and sad news from hours before you would have thought that with the post, they would have offered their deepest condolences to Sarah's family. Instead they captioned an image of a handcuff key which had a pink background (most of their posts on social media follow the colour theme) with some allegedly untrue legal advice, a key emoji and a "and we sell them!" on Instagram.
Over the past year a lot of people have let unpleasant behaviour slide because they were excited about this café project. I think people have now had enough after what they have recently done. |
