Dear Charlotte Metcalf, you poor poverty-stricken woman

Charlotte Metcalf of the Daily Hate wrote this article - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1335550/Merry-Christmas-Along-milli... describing how she's now classing herself to be poor, poverty-stricken, practically on the brink of desolation. This is my thoughts about what she said.

The amount of times I watched you saying 'poor'

Ahhh, your accent :3

@smellmytootsies

Yeah, I think that word is quite prevalent and relevant in that video.

And I'm glad you liked my accent.

Won't lie, I read her article and my first thought was "Either this is satire or I'm not as adept with the English language as I thought ", this woman is ridiculously well off, this woman probably hasn't seen poverty outside of the television screen

As you said, she should go see poverty. Then she may realise that there are people with problems in your country like the choice of heat or food.

Though she's Daily Mail and as such I as a foreigner's opinion is likely worthless in her eyes.

Do you want to know the ironic thing? As part of her televisual work, she did documentaries in Africa! You'd like to think that she would have seen some truly awful poverty there in order to humble her. Evidently not.

@GrouchoMarxist22 If this article is anything to go by she seems the sort of person for whom it would reinforce her feeling of entitlement.

Honestly she wouldn't be able to claim to be poor in my homeland which is notoriously expensive to live in.

@GrouchoMarxist22 The way things are going, civil disobedience will become a criminal act. Vive la revolution

@steelhamster well he is dreamy!!

Good for you. When I was going through a disciplinary hearing at work, the support I got from the head of the union was absolutely pitiful. So terrible was their attitude that our area level union representative resigned in disgust and protest.

At least your RMT are willing to fight the just cause and with these cuts that the ConDem government are imposing on us, i'm at least a bit pleased with the action being taken on the streets by protesters and they need our support.

I'm quite sure that those spoiled children won't be told that Santa didn't come this year and be left to toss a ball outside their house.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be delighted to be in this level of poverty. Especially those that have lost their jobs and unable, through no genuine fault of their own to gain employment and are living hand-to-mouth. Their Christmas, as well as your own, is going to be painfully tight and I have every sympathy for you and them and hope that you have a joyful Christmas with your loving family.
