I actually came here to mention the Guardian article today In The Heat & Eat series, but then got distracted with how irritating Jack is.

Anyway, it is written by Kerry Hudson who makes a passing mention of her life experience of poverty in a way that is relevant to the point she is making which is about societies demonisation of people in poverty.

It is an excellent article and very well written. The media should really find alternatives to using Jack to speak on poverty, and there are so many excellent voices out there.

I think she thinks that this was a conference aimed at all volunteers rather than a conference for the ‘voluntary sector’ which is actually made up of a massive workforce of paid staff. I would have thought she might have picked this up given she attended the annual awards do😀

I have to say, i commend people for taking trains rather than domestic flights. I won't fault JM for training it rather than flying.

Ooooor, she could have zoomed in - it was only an hour's chat after all and they could've saved the money and be seen to make reasonable adjustments for a guest speaker with a disability 🤷‍♀️

Just reading the tweet again and she actually thinks that "Subservience and blind adherence to ridiculous conventions are key" to *state* schools rather than private schools? She's so, so thick.

She's never actually been in a secondary comp then if she believes there is subservience and slavish adherence to the rules....

Also the same rules often apply to the staff. If the kids have their blazers on then staff also have to have their jackets/blazers on. I know it’s not like that everywhere but I have worked places like that.

"Dead people can’t riot. Dead people can’t vote."

Jack, one of these things is not like the other. Have a little think about it.

"I said it to Ed Milliband's FACE!". Mother of God, she's like a 10 year old regaling fictitious tales of how they stood up to School Bully

Imagine looking down on MENIAL jobs when your whole existence is funded by randos specifically so you don't have to do one.

Most MENIAL jobs, of course, require timekeeping, organisation, consistency, effort both mental and physical, the ability to deal with other people in a normal and respectful fashion and an everyday responsibility for oneself and those around you. All of which would, one imagines, be far beyond the reach of our pretendy princess.

If you're reading, Jack, an eight-hour shift behind the counter in a Subway, for example, is honest work. How you live your life is very much not.
