Oh, Yes, Indeed So, Jack…

Jack Monroe opines:
Poverty can happen to anyone.
Indeed so, but it happens a lot more easily to people who drop out of school with not enough GCSEs to take A-levels and go to work in a shop at the age of 16, then become unmarried mothers and throw in their job when their employer won’t accede to their demands for ‘family-friendly’ shifts.

And sorry, Tim, but the State didn't knock her up, did it?

"and go to work in a shop at the age of 16, "

There are 16 year old school leavers who actually go and get some form of paid employment before getting pregnant??! Joolz, I fear you're living behind the times. This is 2013 not 1993! Any young woman (I refuse to say 'lady' in this regard) KNOWS that the only way to get a flat and an income these days is for her to turn the stick a different colour ,with her piss, the morning after the night of her 16th birthday party.

Very true, although it could be argued that she was responding to incentives!

Surely this foul-mouthed spite-bag has had her 15 minutes?

Did she become a lesbian before or after conceiving, or was having a child and being a single mother just part of the lesbian/feminist agenda of not needing men in their lives other than (until they can find another way) for procreation.

Indeed so! *sighs*

"Surely this foul-mouthed spite-bag has had her 15 minutes?"

When it comes to the modern chav, that's clearly a huge underestimation on Warhol's part...
