Aldi has 12 veg stock cubes for 35p. If only she could walk or cycle or ask for lift. The #VBPI would be over.

Alot food prices especially food prices in regards to animals have increased because due to the withdrawal of EU legislation in regards to keeping animals we now have to make sure the animal and their products sold in the UK market are top quality and kept by the standards of the UK law. She hasn't mentioned this in her price index.

The farming husbandry in the UK is very high and comes with increased costs to the farmer which in turn is passed into shop and consumer.
An essay I did at uni covered alot of animal Uk and EU laws. They are out of date now due to it being ten years ago and due to the withdrawal of Europe, bur the backbone of the UK laws are the same if not stricter.

i see she’s using words like ‘our’ and ‘we’ when talking about people with very little. of course all poor people have at least once stayed in a london aparthotel for 16 weeks of rehab, right?

No below the line - I wonder why..

At the bottom of the article, Jack states that the issue isn't going anywhere, and neither is she.

Well if the issue isn't going anywhere, what is the point in her campaign? Surely the point of any anti poverty campaign should be to work towards eradicating poverty, i.e. make the issue go away.

BUT Jack doesn't want the issue to go away, it is her only reason for existing within the media bubble that she loves to be included in, despite her protestations to the contrary.

Seems like she just had a problem with what her local shop had in stock. I mean, I guess 'Local Asda out of vegetable stock cubes and pasta' should be headline news I guess.

Seriously behind but just had to share - talking about money/investing to husband (an avid JOB listener) and he goes

“If you put £100 in a savings account last year it’s only worth £78 now, how fucked up is that?”

I am on the edge of my seat in anticipation of Dr. Monroe's scathing essay and power point* presentation on how she will single-handedly solve poverty in the UK via the Asda website and some 10-year old receipts.

I’m lolzing that you actually phoned them and possibly said I’m doing FORENSIC snack research and I put it to you that you no longer sell maize snacks despite what’s being claimed by the champion of the poor Mx JiG Monroe

I think this was when the £20 UC was taken away, as soon as that bandwagon approached she was on it. I was fewmin because I liked the maize snacks and hadn’t been able to get them.

This was the crux in my rant just now. Mrs T has just left to go and get something. I hope it is Pepsi Max but I feel it may be a sponge or something to grip so when I am angry again nothing gets ruined.

Not sure she fully grasped the points I was making about “we” “so many Cotswolds” “she has blue DMs” and “ASDA has the pasta ffs.”

So cross.

I know that it’s Tory to commend the good work of volunteers and charities but people here and that I know IRL use social supermarkets. Will they be in the WASPcentric index?
