I think we have a new mantra.....


...although, to be fair, that’s been her mantra on everything for such a long time.

To be fair I thought it was some sort of horseshoe.
A nod to her Traveller heritage or whatever she claims she is today.

ETA.. But now she is with The Express, that'll be sanitised from her timelines.

I mentioned Bethany Black a few posts ago. She features on the National Autistic Society website. I wonder if the NAS are aware of Jack’s work?

I find it a bit embarasing for someone with her following to be angling for compliments for a knitted square. If you are just on social media with friends and you're getting into knitting or whatever, sure. But why this? Can she not live without digital applause?

Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, Omega is the last. You often see them in Greek Orthodox Church icons because God is the beginning and end? I think it’s a bit ropey to have an omega on it’s own but I’m not Greek.
Probably pass ag she sold her omega watch tbh.

For the last week my arse had only seen a seat at mealtimes. I have been run ragged. She doesn't know she's born with her dinosaur naps and whatnot.

Yep. I know this.
It's just that tattoo is so shit.

ETA.. I think they are some sort of Methodist/Baptist family though.
I remember reading something about it when she was a "Sunday School" teacher.
Edited to add that her grandfather's obit mentions the church.

"Ideas she says sprang from her autism" lol wtf.

And a working-class socialist dad with an MBE and politics and philosophy books. Hmmm. I know all different types of people can have all different types of interest but I'd hazard a guess that the main demographic who peruse politics and philosophy books are pretentious twats middle class.

The worst thing is her pretense at being frugal due to saving for a house, when she splurges thousands and thousands on luxury items and about 2000 pounds a month for several years renting her expensive house.

Poverty-baiting by pretending to her followers that she must skrimp and save about two quid a month not buying butter or any replacement, when she has been spunking an extra 12000 quid a year for however long she's lived there by renting somewhere unnecessarily luxurious. Say she's lived there 4 years (I don't actually know), that's like 48000 pounds down the drain if she's really hellbent on not renting. Some of that rent would have probably been paid by Louisa. Then add on her 8000 or so on triangulated cotswold etc, then her Patreon earnings of 1000 a month, and her 10000 from Hellman's and 25000 from DKL. If she's only paying herself a living wage, and if she had rented a less FANCY house all this time, she could have easily afforded a modest house outright by now, or be paying her own mortgage on a luxury house rather than renting.

She acts like renting is so beneath her.

(By the way I don't have a working pound sign on my laptop!)

As far as I can tell from today's article it's looking at limited ingredients and coming up with recipe ideas. A bit like they used to Ready Steady Cook only their stuff was usually edible.
Oh ready steady cook your bringing back the after school feels for me imagine what jack could do with a pear lard and a pip form

She says her veggie option of breadcrumbs, nut grit and vegetable waste means "you don't have to worry about making a vegetarian or vegan option" as if they're just an annoying afterthought and not worthy of a proper Christmas dinner. It's almost as if she was never really 90% vegan.

The 35p she could have saved from not buying her fancy DelMonte fruit could surely have gone halfway towards spread or butter in stead of disgusting lard that not even meat eaters want to eat?

Plus all normal people except Jack have butter or spread. What's the point in literally ruining vegetables by suggesting they spend an extra 40p on lard that most people won't have when they will already have a superior product to hand?

Within six months she'll be hanging about the coast terrorising vulnerable migrants with slop.

Thank you. That sounds delicious and very similar to something I have as an evening snack when I’m craving prawns except mine isn’t anywhere near as fancy looking. Served with brown bread to dip in the butter

Tom Yum soup? I like to do prawns in a pan, turn off the heat and then drizzle on a dressing made of fish sauce, palm sugar, and lime. Add chilli if you like, finely sliced shallots, coriander
Thankyou, dear heart. I’ve never tried Tom Yum soup. Your dressing sounds so good and definitely one I’m going to try. I’ll have to get some palm sugar but I have the rest.

To keep on topic, Jack’s nails

God I love pate so much. I have to go to tescos soon (been putting it off all day) and you've influenced me to get some now - thank(space)you
I ordered some chicken livers today to make pate for Christmas. It's the only time of the year I can be bothered to make it, but is totally lush xx

I know, slinging a fews tins together is not quantum physics.

it's not a gift, even my 80 year reluctant cook dad can put together a meal out of a bit of fridge gravel/tins.
