That’s fine for them to “highlight” the poors, but how do these people justify the donations to them? That’s the truly deplorable part

That is Jack's dining room, yes.

Why would you 'carry' the largest sideboard out and down the alley then back into the house? Firstly, you couldn't do it by yourself without damaging it. Secondly, there's ample space in your hallway to swing a sideboard anyway so no leaving the house is needed. Thirdly, who has the bloody time to be dragging that much shit around the house every couple of months??

Is it normal for children to have double beds these days? No shade as times move on kids are glam now, I’m just a Victorian relic who had my first double bed at 22 and I wouldn’t have deemed myself a POOR from the age of 18+ as I was working full time in holidays whilst maxing out all the low income family student loans/grants!

How big are playstations now that you can't fit them in a bedroom if it has a double bed in it?

They are fucking tiny. Either SB has a parade of consoles/big TV that takes up space, or she's talking nonsense, as per usual.

Owen will be planning ANOTHER of his podcasts where middle class 30 somethings endlessly go over the same crap about poverty.

To be fair, when I was 30 I thought I knew it all. I couldn't understand why older people had such a different take on a situation, or why they thought everything was so difficult to address.

Guess what? Now I am that "older man" I no longer think I know it all. I now realise that nothing in government (or life to be honest) is simple or easy. Everything is complex, people are complex. And people are on the whole selfish, after all, who wouldn't put their own family first?

I have lived long enough to know crises come and go. They are all over the news, people fearful and panicking, but it ends up being dealt with, either successfully or sometimes less so. Eventually people look back and despair at what happened, promising it will never happen again, but it does. They then just carry on with life until the next crisis.

I could go on but I think you lovely Fraus are on the same page, so I'd be preaching to the converted.

Anyhow, on topic. Jack and Owen can talk until the cows come home, the country will still be up shit creak without a paddle. Nothing they say will make the slightest bit of difference, because nobody that matters is listening.

Long post, sorry/not sorry (delete as applicable)

I don't know what's being dredged up in 15mins, nor do I particularly care but I'm willing to bet my left tit that it's brown.

wondering if Jack has a cellar now. They were always used for hiding things( so much so that son1 went through a phase of peering in everyone we walked passed to look for disguised racehorses. This is a bit embarrassing in a town full of Edwardian terraces).
