A Foul Taste

I was listening idly to Five Live last weekned and unfortunately caught Edwina Currie talking about her footling existence.
She was a bit down following her eviction from Strictly Come Dancing but confessed to consoling herself with lashings of smoked salmon and champers.
However, she showed she has lost none of her brass neck by querying the sincerity of a carer who dared to say some people in Britain are going hungry. It seemed amazing to much of the public who then phoned in, that a senior Conservative had no idea that many people are forced to chose between heating and food. It must be a long time since Edwina worried about the size of a gas bill, if se ever did.
"No-one is starving in the UK," she said so shifting the question. The Government who doubts the genuineness of the poverty it is responsible for is doomed to look heartless. Unemployment is already up to 1994 levels when La Currie last clutched a Ministerial brief. The Guardian report from Consett yesterday was a graphic portrayal of a desperate life on the edge. www.tinyurl.com/24tz5vw.

The calls continued into the next evening and like a damned fool Currie rang in to continue her ill-advised judgement on the working classes.
"Presumably you own a phone as you are using it to phone this show, "she deducted with her familiar Victorian spite. "You should spend the money on buying food."
Those unable to provide for their families must feel a deep sense of shame and despair and should be spared the icy pontification of this wealthy Matriarch.
