Some birdie at the Independent REALLY doesn't like us

Hard-working families will not be found with the smug mums

"Reasons why the internet is a waste of time, part 74. Apparently the main political parties are taking their campaigns online to target, well, people like me. I'm a mum, you see, and mumsnet.com, the website for middle-class parents who want to know whether Steiner is better than Montessori, or how to get that fiddly fifth daily portion of veggies into their little darling, is the latest battleground between the Tories and Labour."

"Both are running adverts claiming that only (insert name of party here) is behind the hard-working family. The only problem is, I'm too busy actually being a hard-working parent (both at home and in an office) to sit poring over worthy book-group forums and advice on how to do a weekend break to New York en famille... If Dave or Gordon wants my vote, they can tell me to my face, not hide behind the skirts of the smug mums."

Rather jolly cheeky

Did the journo actually read the first part of her article before rattling off the last?

What a little Miss Sunshine she is, it would seem someone has perhaps been on here and been "parped."

I love that being on here means I am a smug, middle-class whatever because that is so far from the truth. Oh Lisa, silly girl.

Well it's not bloody surprising we always get slagged off by journo tits writing in the national newspapers. The national press is dying on its arse, has been for years. Sites like MN are a big threat because they take away ad revenue-generating readers who would otherwise presumably be worshipping at the feet of columnists like Lisa Markwell.
