Samantha Cameron didn't say she was on the breadline.
During the interview, amongst other things,she said(was probably asked), she can't afford to go out and buy all sorts of designer clothes,she has a family & big mortgage. Like lots of other people! She has to budget. Her budget is bigger than many, smaller than some.
Her own line of clothing,Cefinn, is excellent! It's been well received so far &I hope it goes on to be a great success. I admire independent women.
No, she didn't say she was on the breadline, that was me using irony. The reason for doing so is that S Cameron isn't just any woman and her comments show a jaw dropping lack if awareness, empathy and humility. Now we have to be careful that this is obviously a reported conversation but it is essentially a puff piece in a paper sympathetic to her position and that of her husband. Now, she is not responsible for all the actions of her husband but she has never spoken out against the actions of the govt he led, which voted for the paycap on public sector workers, for people who save lives.
For her then to talk about not how she 'didn’t have disposable income, with childcare and mortgage etc, to buy designer clothes', when people affected by those policies didn't have disposable income to put food on the table for their kids is echoing Marie Antoinette. I an sure she worked hard at her venture and,good luck to her, but I bet it's a tad easier being the wife of someone who was PM. Throughout a lit of the scandals we have seen recently, there is a mephitic stink of corruption. Murdoch has just been approved to take over SKY completely not long after Leveson. His former editors were a close friend of Cameron and another an employee.
We are in the midst of the repercussions of Grenfell, in walking distance from one of the 2 homes the Cameron's use, the one which is worth 2 million that thet rent out, not the one where Dave has just spent 25,000 on a shed, so I would expect her to think that this doesn't reflect well on her thoughts. If she had any awareness, she could easily have avoided what sounds like a whinge about not having enough disposable income when her husband can earn 100,000 from a single speech.
I don't begrudge anyone making money or spending it in ways I might think frivolous but I think the wife of the ex PM shows a complete lack of humility in not underlining just how lucky she is.
