Thank you for what you do. It’s an amazing resource.
Tonight’s live has really got under my skin, Mark pontificating again on things he has no knowledge or experience of. There was a definite undertone of privilege and judgment when he spoke about free school meals. Some of his phrases suggesting that people on low incomes waste their money or buy things they ‘shouldn’t’ and that’s why they can’t then afford to buy food. As someone who is disabled and can’t work I rely on benefits and I already feel like a lower class citizen without other people’s incorrect assumptions and judgments. He may have just alienated a lot of his vulnerable subs who might also be in this category. He has no idea about real life struggles, budgeting etc!
Sorry! Rant over
