I don't quite know what body fascism is, but they definitely contained lots of classism and racism, along with lots of the other kids/adult books from that era (as sent up in five go mad in Dorset etc). I wouldn't want any kids of mine to be influenced that sort of shite without understanding a bit of the true social/political context personally. But yeah, Baddiel's a dick
