What they are doing is advancing the politicizing of everything and driving an agenda of divisiveness.
Why is an artist is not allowed to be an artist anymore but needs to be an political activist?
Even worse, because TS doesn't follow the Guardian's absurd logic, they are trying to shame her with their imaginative interpretation.
That's not journalism, that is a 6-year old's fantasy world, who dreams up stories about celebrities and why they are their imaginary friends/enemies.
