I originally came across her on Facebook around the time she had given up her job/ was looking for work. IIRC she was trying to earn money by sewing/ crafting and umpteen people told her to just go on benefits for the sake of her son as it would be much less complicated in terms of claiming. She wouldn't listen and I remember the 'Mummy work' scenario. Of course that Facebook account disappeared!

I
think we are witnessing the beginning of the end. She’s acted too bonkers over the last few days that people will be thinking something is up. And she’s managed to upset some internet factions who will never be placated and will bring up that she’s a liar. She managed to simultaneously annoy both sides of the Labour Party in the momentum/progress faction AND offend Jewish people.

I’ll bet she’s earned not miles off of £145,000 this year herself. She’s had huge deals which have mostly consisted of them ticking a box, and her providing a crappy product from the comfort of her own massive home. Her sponsors have paid money for old rope, is Jack worth 350 kids? Is anyone worth 350 kids? No. That’s why that’s not how we measure things, Jack. Get the wooden essential calculator out.
So what is she suggesting then, just scrap the role that person does so the salary can be used for the children? It's always her way of arguing isn't it, as she can't seem to look any deeper. Pick out a politician, state how much they earn, and act all outraged. It's such basic thinking, and no better than the dramatics you'd get from a DM article. In fact you'd probably get better critical analysis from a DM article.
Am I being thick or has this literally not come into effect yet? Also, isn’t it something that councils control? I thought that was the whole point?
Wouldn't people be better contacting their local authority rather than Jack given that the money has been given to them to administer? Quite apart from anything else I don't know how she'll get to these messages when she had 500+ to get through yesterday.
Her 350 patreons give her min £5 a month tax free for her to voluntarily pay Caroline Whohashands to not work.
I think the post should be scrapped and Vicky Mate forced to hand over all her savings and assets to buy Jack her Forever Home and if there's any change left buy a couple of pov kids a Pokemon or whatever they're into these days.
This is bleeping glorious.
Get your pitchfork quick, Jack has unearthed a scandal at Sarfend Caaannncil
Or she’s lookiñg at the wrong bit of the website
FML she’s got a google doc open, thoughts and prayers it’s not “Potatoes- the school dinners years”

Attachments
Good morning, night/morning hours cabal,
I was grunkaing when the attachments disappeared (which helped with the speed) and now I can't find the receipts showing she had meanwhile managed to offend parts of the Jewish community? What on earth has she done???!!!

Yeah I've missed this too. She's chaosing too fast to keep up.
What Jack doesn't know is that tomorrow there will be a knock at the door. On her doorstep will be a man from Sarfend Caaannncil holding a giant novelty cheque and hoping to secure the services of the People's Urchin to make some proper grub for the little kiddies. What the man from the Caaannncil doesn't know is that Jack howls and claws the carpet when she hears the door before curling up into a ball and rolling about like a wild marble. The sad little faces of the children when the realise the beautiful princess urchin Jack of farts won't be feeding them after all is sure to be heartbreaking.
I *think* it is to do with her recent love and support of Corbyn, so this has annoyed some of the Jewish community due to the allegations of Corbyn's anti semitism.
Jack being excluded from that letter and JO taking her place is just bleeping brilliant.
She seriously can't keep claiming she is working with MR can she? When he literally never acknowledges her. Never. It is just getting so mortifying
She tried to appease the Corbyn supporters that were criticising her by sharing a ss of a cringey, apologetic DM she had sent him. Signed it off with "your comrade" etc. The anti Corbyn part of the left got cross, and she upset some of the Jewish community too as a result. So she managed to piss off two opposing groups of people in the end, with her flakiness and attempt to be universally liked.
I have managed to grunk my way through thread 133 as all the attatchments are back (thank you mods 
) and came across this gem. Those geese had Jack's number. Well done Charlie and Geraldine. It's a bit Beatrix Potter, were Jemima puddle duck and Timothy Willie there too?

Thank space you @Jelly Bean and @Nottonightbabe , suits her, that kind of behaviour. Sensitivity and tact is not really her forte. It was an area she had not touched yet, so very overdue.
