Wait, is she going to that conference too? If she turns up late again; I'll piss myself hooting.
I wonder if she's planning on pulling down anyone's trousers. Didn't she say that's the only way to go about shaming the Tory government last week when she was talking at the Labour Party conference

This’ll be a can of worms so disclaiming with education is really personal to your child & family, and my husband made me do this so pls don’t flame me: having recently looked at a private primary yikes Jack you should be glad for the bottle you didn’t wash and other kids laughing at ur Partridge voice hun x I cannot explain the bad vibes nor how many times they repeat “sports and music” which is clearly a proxy for dw hun she’ll be around thoroughbred poshos all day, cos that’s all there is to offer by nature of your child’s age alone they have nothing more to give them than being isolated away from mainstream / poor kids and they obvs can’t say such a thing, didn’t think it’d be so obvious but it was, grotesque tbh but some ppl thrive off of that shit Imagine Jack would have - in another life she’d have had her private primary school listed on her LinkedIn

OK so suddenly Jack's referring back to her primary school makes sense - it's the only time she was made to integrate with the oiks!

I’m glad you had a positive experience. I had a similar situation. Daughter (life long vegetarian) was a very selective eater. The cook asked me to visit her so I could tell her what my daughter would actually eat. She is 29 now and still fussy.

Ok I’m a bit sleep deprived please someone help me make it make sense…but she’s off to Conference for the Tories having publicly (to a small room of people) lashed out at them for their policies last week at the Labour conference?! As in used a really crude analogy and now is going to sit amongst them giving them the middle class dream pov story?

ETA: How can Labour (or those who booked Jack) not see what a Tory she is?! All she’ll do is perpetuate the myth it’s ok to live on £20/week for food etc.

Wasn't her grammar school state too? Mine was, and we weren't all posh and upper class, being driven in lilac Mercedes vibe. Regular working class kids who just happened to be smart enough to get a higher score on 11+.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I have to admit my knowledge of the English education system is slim to none.

Thank you for voicing my confusion.

That is why I posted the picture of the marmot.

Jack’s current activities are melting my brain.

No offence at all! Some grammars are state some are private. We sit the 11+ in year 6, the grammar schools in my area would have a desirable score set, if you reached it, they offered you a place, there was an equal mix of grammar schools and regular secondary schools in the area.

Jack acts like she went to a paid grammar, but I don't think it was. She would be better telling the truth as the state ones perform better, lol!

So what she thinks is no-one knew of food banks till she wrote about them? Really? Really?

(I have been donating for 14 years - I can tie this in to my job changes. Not a humble brag, just context)

No one knew about…..

1. Veganism (then 90% veganism)
2. Non binary individuals
3. Tattoos
4. Lesbians
5. Cooking from tin cans
6. Single mums

Until Jack wrote/shouted/tweeted/said something to someone in the Groucho about it.

This! Why does it matter whether you went to a "state" or "other" type of primary school? It's the same as her bleating on about how she RENTS. Such a dickhead.
I went to a posh primary school and a shit high school. So i did the opposite. Doesnt matter a jot,. I went all the way through school and many of my mates who went to grammar didnt they now work perfectly decent jobs in retail.
