More Middle Class Bullshit

What would I do without G2 to bring me some fresh source of irritation every morning? Probably not spend a few minutes seething with annoyance, that’s what. There’s not a celeb in sight today though, unusually. Oh no, it’s the Guardian’s very own “star” writer Zoe Williams quacking on (again) about babies. She’s a childcare expert since baby Thurston (for eff’s sake) escaped from her organs apparently.

The hook is that some US firms allow employees to take their babies to work, cutting down on child care “issues”. So what does Zoe do? She tests it out by taking her baby to work and regales us with the “hilarity” that ensues through the course of the day! Hoho!

Jeezus! What is the point? The Mirror did a similar story a couple of days ago. However, they used a working class hairdresser as their case study. Meanwhile Zoe reflects that it’s difficult to go to a meeting full of 27 newspaper execs with a crying baby. Who’d have thought it?!

Well done G2! Another real-world expose of no use to anyone except middle class women who’ve left their kids at home with a Polish nanny (cost: £25 per month) – there’s no need to feel guilty now!

It’s the newspaper equivalent of those terrible BBC3 Dawn Porter shows, where the plummy pouter pretends to be a lesbian / stripper / alcoholic for an hour. Gah!!
