Call the Jouker a cynic, but Theresa May's latest attempt to show herself as "one of the people" reveals a lot about what she thinks of us.
The Prime Minister, with a comradely grin, revealed during a meeting with top ministers that she regularly scrapes mould off her jam and eats what's left below.
The Jouker, like most people, is appalled at the very thought of this.
We're left wondering if this little home tip from May intends to show off her common touch (in which case, she must have a very low opinion of most Brits) or if it's meant to instill a sense of wartime perseverance ahead of leaving the EU.
Regardless, given the nightmare of delivering a fantasy-driven Brexit, we're not sure this was the best time to discuss how to deal with jam today and jam tomorrow.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
