The Royal We, Amelia?

Shops don’t simply give us what we want – they make us want it.
Speak for yourself! Nothing that has been advertised or stocked in supermarkets made me buy (or want) Hallowe'en tat. This house was free of pumpkin candles and furry spiders and plastic skeletons. And of trick and treaters, thanks mostly - I suspect - to the bad weather. Not that the sweets will go to waste, the tech guys in the office will make short work of them on Friday!

But if you like that, go to it! Why not? Life’s too short to live it according to misanthropes like ‘Guardian’ columnists.

Sounds like she just wants something banned that she's decided for some reason, she's not fond of

"“Parents have got enough stuff to worry about,” said Newcastle-based TikToker Mandy Charlton"
The fact that she said that and the fact she said it on Tik Tok, tells me a lot about her lack of parenting skills, more than anything else

It seems to me that she hasn't got enough real problems to worry about.

Pretty sure that's the number one submission requirement for the 'Guardian's output these days...

"It seems to me that she hasn't got enough real problems to worry about."

And that's the second submission requirement!
