Sorry, but Lady Jenkin said that one of the reasons the poor are going hungry is that they can't

I thought it was basic maths, but obviously my opinion only counts if I matriculated from than the School of Hard Knocks.

At least down to a greater extent of interpretation than what Jenkin said.

Point being, it's solely down to the perception of what has been said rather than the content.

I don't see what she said here that's snobbish.

I mean, she's obviously some very sharp and able PR person and has in no way got where she has purely on the basis she's from a good family.

Everyone knows exactly what she meant by that image - including Ed Miliband, which is why he forced her out for it. You are simply being disingenuous to pretend you don't understand the meaning.

What precisely has she done to qualify her views? I'm interested to know

Maybe it's the act of someone who thinks like that, maybe it's the act of someone who doesn't give a f**k as they know they can't be sacked, maybe she made a genuine mistake.

I don't know. I do know that it's played terribly though.

However, you are studiously avoiding the question of precisely why she needs to have been poor to make pronouncements on how to save money.

or been briefed on, but I suspect that she has taken these perfectly valid steps to learning about the issue. She may just have spent 20 minutes perusing The Guardian; this would give her a deep understanding of how everyone except posh people is starving in the gutter, dressed in rags.
