Hmm… if I were trying to covertly undermine the Green agenda, not sure I’d choose a company with the name “Red Flag”.

Red Flag? The Irish PR company that was just sold for about €45millon (reported in Feb in the Irish Times).
“Red Flag’s document includes, as highlights of the campaign, an article in the UK’s Spectator magazine about plans “to change your diet by force”, and a number of social media posts claiming the report was “dangerous” and told “poor people to eat dirt”…
“Targeted briefings and stakeholder activation ensured” that some framed the Eat-Lancet report, plus a subsequent report, “as radical and out of touch”… In the year following Eat-Lancet’s publication, scientists involved in it were targeted online. ”
