Election blind dates: Toff and Jack Monroe - BBC News

What happens when two strong-minded individuals from opposite sides of the political debate sit down for dinner? The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme sent Made in Chelsea star Toff on an election blind date with food blogger Jack Monroe.
Toff, real name Georgia Toffolo, says she had a privileged background and is a Conservative Party member, while Jack Monroe, who at one time was unemployed and unable to afford food, is a member of three parties, including the Labour Party.
But did they get on?

Does she know what it is like to work 40-50 hours on minimum wage? Are they fairly paid for their work? Does Toff think she works harder than a full time nurse/policeman/fireman/shop worker/teacher? If rate of work was fairly paid in this country (I've seen Made in Chelsea), Toff would be paid roughly £2 an episode.

Train drivers earn a lot of money actually. Im not a left wing voter, but I don't particularly agree with Toff. she is wrong about working your arse off (what would she know anyway really). The hospitality industry for example is appalling, so is nursing and even my field of healthcare doesn't pay that much to begin with. The UK currently has regions that have the lowest salaries in Europe, to the extent that it is matching places like Italy for similar jobs, and my italian friends have now gone home again because it really is no better. And these people, along with Brits, are bloody hardworking but you'll be waiting a long time to go up the career ladder. Also there are nicer British traditions than Fox hunting. Eugh god these two both spout a pile of rubbish.

[@dantaylor7344]

Toff? jes you couldn't even satirize this.

[@ShizelMaNizel]

Jack Monroe is like a lesbian Lily Allen.

[@wafflemakerx7652]

James S im here for it,what a girl. SHE was the one who worked hard, toff was born on a country estate reciting latin to her oxford taught tutor, she has no ability to form a balanced opinion

[@olliespink288]

Ugh, a load of left wing people in the comments...

[@tomgibson6801]

Makes a change from the right wing cucks that litter every political video.

[@andrewd9037]

Wow, that was embarrassing. The way Toff jumped in when she was tying to explain the other side of austerity. She also relays her points as if they are obvious. That same facial expression every time. Ideologically shackled. This shower her true self.

[@blase057]

Fox hunting is a great British tradition? Lol

[@crazyforcoffee5950]

Zahida we fox hunt in Australia because foxes are feral

[@TheGeorge2277]

Yes, incase you hadn’t realised.

[@TheGeorge2277]

LifeAsShan the fact it being for the upper class is a myth. Fox hunting unites both the working and upper class

[@charliep5731]

You’re not even british though?

[@jamesdrake2431]

When she says people who drive trains she should actauly now train drivers earn over 45 grand and on the tube up to 70k

"Trying to top myself in my bathroom because i didnt want to carry on " answer "yar" onto what she wants to say ? FFS!

[@ridew3072]

I’d like to say that it isn’t Toffs fault she’s ignorant to the struggles of the working classes but it is her fault. It definitely is.

[@xzclaire]

Toff in her bubble for 16 mins

[@lyricleaf1251]

Slavery wasn't a British tradition

[@betrousaltaweel]

lyricleaf it was a global human tradition

[@Hfoxcat]

lyricleaf expansion of the British empire was largely funded by the transportation and sale of slaves to America.

[@danielaanne3678]

Politics makes people so mad, left wing or right wing were all human beings with different minds and we should appreciate people views and differences

Can't believe she didn't pay

You can feel the privilege in her voice

[@loverace3785]

I was born into privilege and money and I still want a labour government in. I can’t believe that the conservatives are taking money from benefits, that’s bad

[@BenWillock]

I'm guessing this was taped prior to the GE campaign... I'm sure "Toff" isn't laughing so hard at Jeremy now.

[@orangetack1099]

For two people who are politically opposite I'm glad they managed to create some sort of friendship

[@tadc345fan]

She is talking like a...

[@Njoofene]

Notice the working class lady (Jack) was always polite to the waiting staff whilst Toff failed to acknowledge their existence. Notice Jack was the one who paid whilst the so called rich kept her money.

[@colinglen4505]

oh my god .. she says that thatcher is a hero of hers.

[@colinbaldwin8769]

Love these two. Great friendships have always been possible across a political divide. Winston Churchill had many great friends in the Labour Party. Being able to say what you think is right but listening with respect to opposing views. Everyone learns.

[@ectz7219]

Toff needs to work a proper job for a week that would be a good show

[@wafflemakerx7652]

ECTz YES! A zero hours contract, so she has no idea what hours she’ll work and throw in trying to pay the expensive rent when you dont have some far flung scholars inheritance in your bank and a bunch of rich family friends with a lust for champagne and monaco. Add nasty housemates, expensive transport and a boss who just like toff’s family is an utter FAT CAT. politics is not a cat walk, but toff is so childlike and ditsy she cant understand

[@tbilbeisi9251]

The 'conservative' here is not really representative of the current Conservative Party or most prospective or dedicated conservative voters. Her poorly articulated but clear Thatcherite ideological leanings have pretty much been eroded out of the party since Cameron's premiership and are now totally obsolete because its current leader is the ultimate Blairite centrist. Grassroots conservative voters like myself with perhaps more similar views to Toff's reluctantly vote for the Conservative Party because there isn't an established right-leaning opposition that appeals to us after UKIP's demise.

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Thamer B- I wish your assessment were true but a large proportion of Tory voters I come across really do look down on anyone who is struggling as having either brought it on themselves or being insincere. You claim Cameron and May are centrist but there is nothing moderate about hounding people to their deaths with work capability assessments! And Tory voters can hardly complain about a negative image when their attitude amounts to survival of the fittest. The average Tory voter for instance regards all welfare claimants as 'lazy dole scroungers' without considering the soul-destroying experience many claimants go through. If unemployment results in 'free money' as Tory voters believe how does that explain the far higher rate of suicides among the unemployed if their life is supposedly so easy? Many people who sign on would rather not precisely because of the social stigma it brings. You are treated as a criminal in everything but name. And the real something for nothing here is forcing people into workfare programmes for a fraction of the minimum wage. Sure there are claimants who abuse the system and that is clearly wrong, but it is not an excuse to vilify everyone whose life circumstances lead them with no choice but to sign on. But Tory voters are so ideologically blinded by their superior and callous attitudes they seem incapable of trying to consider being in someone else's shoes. There are things I agree with the Conservative Party on. I trust them more on crime, national identity and defence but on other social areas, they have a long way to go to shed the image of a 'survival of the fittest' ideology. From my perspective the entire mindset of Tory voters is 'I am a taxpayer, why should my money help x, y or z?' It is a vindictive and selfish attitude stirred up by the likes of the Daily Mail and the Sun. These rags take the worst cases of welfare abuse and present it as the norm. And unfortunately Conservative voters are very influenced by this. I am not saying all Conservative voters think this way, but most do.

[@tomgibson6801]

cameron was a thatcherite. cuts and no compassion. the basis of a thatcherite

[@MichaelScott261]

This is probably the first working class person she's ever met?

[@Victoria-iu5sb]

Jack Monroe is solidly middle class, went to grammar school like her dad and brother, both her parents are University -educated. Both her dad and her late paternal grandad (who she was close to) are/were multi-property landlords. Her grandad also owned guest houses and a restaurant. Her grandad left £1.8 million of 12 properties in his will and he died in 2012. Jack’s dad was also a very senior manager in the Essex fire service.

[@Billsbyjoe]

If wiping arses (a noble and worthy occupation imv) paid £25 an hour then the whole approach to hard work paying well would be transformed into one of integrity. Instead its quite the opposite, which only points to the reality that those who run the country and its finances do not care one jot about those who really need to be looked after properly by those around them that are rewarded justly.

[@youruniquestyle]

But I agree with Toff (the blonde girl) on how we shouldn’t be punished for earning more money by working hard. You’re not going to want to work harder only to have a lot if taken away from you.

[@praveeshachapman677]

But people who have a lot of money but get taxed more still have far more wealth than someone who is working class and doesn't earn a lot.
