## Summary

A campaign group called Strapline has put up posters urging people to avoid Gail’s new Brixton bakery, depicting one of its loaves wrapped in an explosive device. The protests cite concerns about gentrification, corporate expansion and the company’s alleged links to Israel, while the article identifies graphic designer Marlo Swann McNair Plowden as a figure behind the campaign.

The article says the 28-year-old studied graphic design and has taken part in pro-Palestinian and other political demonstrations. Strapline described Gail’s as a threat to local communities and linked it to Israel; Gail’s denies links to any country outside the UK. The text also notes that other branches have faced attacks, including smashed windows at its Archway shop.
