"Wind the bobbin up originated in the cotton mill towns of the north of England in Victorian times. As anyone who knows a bit about a bit history can tell you, the cotton mills were horrendous places which horrifically exploited women and children, forcing them to do dangerous work in appalling conditions for little pay. How can it be right to trivialise these horrors by getting children to sing a light-hearted ditty about it... It’s offensive to the memory of all those who suffered these horrendous conditions and experienced serious injury or even death as a result of hideously exploitative working practices."Some people aren't holding back in the comments:
"Jesus Christ. Honestly? You need to get out more." "I think you might be over thinking it!" "I think you might be looking a little too hard for something to be offended by..." "Nobody tell her about 3 blind mice – abuse of disabled animals." "Let's not get started on Humpty Dumpty. Outrageously eggist."
