Healthcare assistant Charlotte Day disgracefully moans about panic buying of bread just as homeless people freeze to death
Last week, a homeless man froze to death in Chelmsford, Essex. A week before, another was found dead on the steps of Westminster Tube station in London.
Two stories to keep beside you
Wally of the Week: Jack Monroe
Blogger Jack Monroe returns to our pages Not content with having featured as our Wally of the Week once, the acid tongued food and politics blogger Jack Monroe has again made an utter fool of herself in launching a tirade mocking the death of David Cameron’s son, Ivan.
Wally of the Week – Tim Martin
JD Wetherspoon’s should be punished for spending nearly £100,000 on pro-Brexit beer mats at the behest of Tim Martin Tim Martin is an odious man and he’s also highly irritating. That is for sure, but that he spent £94,856 of his company’s money on nearly two million beer mats sums up how ridiculous this nutjob […]
Meanwhile, yesterday, in Medway, Kent, a moaning Minnie named Charlotte Day contacted the Mail Online to complain about how she’d not been able to nab a loaf of bread in a Tesco Extra store.
24-year-old healthcare assistant Ms Day – no doubt paid for her pathetic non-story by the newspaper – claimed “customers were barging past each other” and ridiculously bleated:
“Shoppers were walking around with a panicked look on their faces. Some people had six or seven loaves in their basket.”
“People were pushing around, they weren’t being polite about it. I went to grab the last loaf and someone who already had six in their trolley took it, the shelves were empty. I couldn’t believe how busy it was.”
That this woman was prepared to go to the press about a bit of bread is bad enough, but that people are expiring their last breaths on the pavements of one of the richest countries in the world is utterly outrageous. Shame on Charlotte Day and shame on all of us.

Well said Matthew. This woman should have bought bread and given it to the homeless. She should not be selling a pathetic story to the Daily Mail.
She plainly needs to see a shrink.
Yes, she does seem to have a firm grasp of the inessential.
It’s just bloody tragic in this day and age, in a modern city like London, homeless people can actually freeze to death. I’m afraid we all just have our priorities wrong.
