Yes, Zac lost. So isn’t it time to stop bashing him?

It’s easy to see the allure of ongoing Zac bashing. Can there be a pleasure more satisfying for all of us, stuck in our daily work-home, bread-butter routine, than watching a public humiliation of a wealthy tree-hugger, son of a billionaire with ‘a face carved out of caramel by angels’. Let’s kick him while he’s down, and again, and again. What? His brother Ben described him as ‘unstoppable’? Does it mean Zac still wants a career? Let’s kick him so that he never forgets, and never gets back into the public life.

Leading the gang of detractors is a wealthy Guardian journalist: Owen Jones. It remains unclear what exactly drives Owen to be so vicious towards Zac. Could it be Owen’s socialist genes? But Zac is remarkably the opposite of how people of his background normally are… Which invites a new criticism: he is so arrogant that he refuses to be as obnoxious as posh people are meant to be.
