Absolutely unconscionable that you were treated so dreadfully. I’m really sorry. This government are such awful turds.
This is all probably in the Wiki and dotted through the threads but my sleep patterns are fucked so I’m gonna write it all out again
however definitely check out the thread summaries at the beginning of each thread because they have receipts of long-deleted tweets.- Jack was brought up by a high-ranking firefighter father and a nurse mother who also fostered (so three incomes). They have a five bed detached house in a nice part of Southend and Jack went to a grammar school. She recently claimed to have been expelled for stealing a scalpel but this is disputed. Various accounts say that she received between 4.5 and 7 GCSEs and then left.
- Jack’s Grandad was Greek-Cypriot and was a landlord with a string of properties and restaurants around Essex. Edwina Currie pointed this out during a televised debate while Jack pretended she was working class and Jack screamed “My Grandfather is DEAD” in place of an actual rebuttal. Then she wrote a whingey open letter as a response a few days later.
- Jack’s mother is Northern Irish. Jack likes to hint at her status as a “second generation immigrant” when she can.
- After some casual work in cafés and bars as a youngster Jack somehow (read: Daddy) got a job in the control room for the fire service. This was a highly paid role for someone in their early twenties with no qualifications - £24-27k.
- Jack managed to get pregnant through a dalliance with a friend and subsequently variously claims that she was dismissed from the fire service or forced to leave because they would not accommodate her request for flexible working to look after her son. Never mind that armies of key worker parents have managed to do shift work forever: Jack didn’t want to so she left her well paid job to Make A Point.
- Despite having well off relatives who could have helped her, and the father of her child being famously supportive (she literally wrote a Guardian article thanking him), she chose to keep her problems with the benefit system quiet and instead allowed herself and her baby son to go hungry for between 6 months and a year. She claims to have sold a piano, a very fancy watch, her son’s cuddly toys, the lightbulbs and last of all her very fancy camera to make ends meet. Never mind that most poor people don’t have access to Omega Seamasters as a matter of course. Jack did.
- Despite being too proud to ask for help from her parents, Jack wasn’t too proud to tell her story on a publicly available blog, or to publicise her situation through a friend who happened to be a local journalist. Her story of woe gained a LOT of traction.
- Increasingly she was given writing work, publishing deals, corporate sponsorships and awards for her work. She became Quite Famous as the palatable face of the poors.
- She moved in with millionaire chef Allegra McEvedy and began to rub shoulders with the West London media set. She fucked this relationship up.
- She moved back to Essex for her son (although this seemed to bother her less when she uprooted him to move in with a millionaire) and not long after got with a C4 news exec. She continued to get TV work, writing jobs and book deals despite her brief stint in poverty being increasingly irrelevant given spreading disadvantage and the rollout of universal credit.
- At the start of lockdown, despite living with a very well paid partner in a large detached property, she posted an extended freak out about loss of income and aggressively posted links to her PayPal and Patreon for donations. She also started a campaign against Jamie Oliver for getting a TV show, leading to being booked for Daily Kitchen Live which she was consistently underprepared for.
- Said partner broke up with her. She had another freak out about the rent on her large property and rattled the tip jar again.
- She threatened to sue Tattle posters for saying she was not very good on the telly.
- She has received more gifts and found more discarded high end items than any person who ever existed. These include: a Burberry scarf, expensive crockery, an Emin (which is hung in her toilet). She spends an inordinate amount of money on expensive furniture, clothes and tech, but then pretends that she has no money for butter.
- She claims that she can feed a family of 3 (her ex came back to ‘bubble’ with her) on £20 per week. This is bullshit as she doesn’t include toiletries, cleaning stuff, pet food or lots of what makes an appearance in her photos. We suspect she actually uses Ocado for fancy deliveries and performs this poverty.
There’s just so much more, including an army of flying Twitter monkies (her phrase) who attack anyone who dares to speak out.
TL;DR - she’s a terrible person and a grifter, and her constant need to insert herself into everything (such as this FSM debate even though her son does not require FSM) does more harm than good.
