Bob the Builder accused of spreading Net Zero propaganda in woke advert

Bob the Builder has been accused of spreading Net Zero propaganda in a woke advert promoting solar panel installation, according to GB News. The famous animation returns after a 15-year absence in a campaign for German-owned energy company E.On.

The iconic children’s character can be seen swapping his traditional building tools for solar panels and low-carbon heating equipment in a new eco-focused campaign. It marks the character’s first screen appearance in 15 years, with the original stop-motion version once again voiced by actor Neil Morrissey.

During the new commercial, Bob can be seen encouraging viewers to join a Net Zero train. The advert has already sparked debate over the integration of environmental messaging into classic children’s programming.
