Jack Monroe, who obviously belongs to the same class as Princess Michael of Kent, has been expressing on Twitter her annoyance at my suggestion, inter a great deal of alia, that she was barely in the Labour Party that she has forsworn for the Greens now that the target audience of her Sainsbury's products has migrated from one to the other.
She maintains that she joined it when she was 16. That was in 2004, in the middle of the second Blair term, the zenith of Blairism both domestically and internationally. What, in particular, caused her to sign up? The Iraq War? What?
The adolescent faux-prole act would not have survived attendance at one meeting full of schoolteachers, or full of actual proles, or full of both. That is to say, it would not have survived attendance at any Labour Party meeting, at any level. Therefore, we may only assume that Jack Monroe has never attended any Labour Party meeting, at any level.
That the Green Party is attractive to the likes of her, says all that needs to be said about the Green Party.
