Weird. It was on 691 when she stopped and now says 695. Must be my eye patch getting in the way.
ETA - Now 6966! Could it be she’s replying to private people?
There's five replies between 14:50 and 15:02. Do you have those?
The basic point is fine, CPI isn't a great measure for every circumstance/income level etc. But it's not supposed to be. It's an average. And that price increases hit the poorest the most. But as I said before, it's not food prices. It's housing costs and lack of pay/benefits increases for years and years.
Sadly I don't think this is due to 3188 people calling out the blatant hypocrisy of spaffing £100 on cutlery then bleating about poverty, more's the pity!
No my last is 14.49. How odd. I’ll turn on and off again.
Love this take down of her childish maths.
I realise today after seeing another misleading nonsense news headline (that I have expertise in) how much of the news and data we are fed really is absolute bullshit. Especially from people like Jack.
Sorry, but this poverty top trumps that she's playing on twitter - complete with the equally boring comments - it just doesn't land in the way they all would like to imagine. It all just sounds performative.
My family were poor when I was growing up. I then had a period of relative affluence, then lost it all. So, no Jack, I won't sit down and listen to YOU, everyone's experiences are individual. Not everyone experiences poverty in the way you did (if you ever did).
Not everyone shops at ASDA, in fact it is the only store that isn't really convenient for me. And if their prices have risen by 344% I am so glad it is not my local store. Though how ASDA can raise it's prices so dramatically and still stay in business, while others keep them down is beyond me.
Unless of course it is all hyperbolic nonsense.
Yes exactly. She had her parents and her son's father on hand. According to her all loving and kind people. But she chose to subject her child to hunger. Not his choice. Her's.
Other people don't even have that choice.
Can someone point me in the direction? If I search for Jack Monroe trifle will she appear?
I think the clues we normally give are Scottish First Minister + children's TV character Windy ******.
(Sorted now)
I have been with you fraus und herren every step of the way since just before DKL. You have kept me going through the madness of the last couple of years.
I finally snapped and made an account because...SHE LITERALLY BOUGHT A NEW TV LAST YEAR, right?! She mentioned it was left on the doorstep and she was surprised it wasn't stolen??
Argh, there is (obviously) SO much more to say but I couldn't put it better than you dear hearts have already.
Now duck off xxxx
