It's all about her and full of shite.

This bit doesn't sound like her parents went hungry and calling the foster kids feral again WTF. And that we bit - ugh!

It's amazing isn't it, that while Marcus Rashford springboards his successful campaigning by being honest about his own history of not having enough food, she sees fit to describe hungry children as 'feral'.

As you wish.
Solid gold. Thanknospaceyou very Matt much.



One million dollars says this is her stack of unsent Patreon perks. Waiting for the beleagured post office to give her clearance to send, of course.

Also, if it is a six-year stack of bills, grow the fuck up and pay them.

Sorry if getting bills for services you have used puts the shits up you, but you can damn well afford them. So pay them.

Why has she suddenly stopped being able to spell?? She there’s no “e” at the end of lens... #pedanticlenny

I’ve enjoyed those old blogs so thanks to everyone who’s uncovered those. Very very interesting that she didn’t seem to be claiming the correct benefits (although when she was, she seemed to pin the blame on her LA when they were late/wrong). Pure speculation but I wonder if her parents perhaps looked down their nose at benefit claimants and that’s filtered down. I’ve seen an increase in the amount of people on Facebook lately who are predominantly middle-class saying they don’t see why kids should get FSM when the parents have the latest iPhone etc, so the benefit system clearly doesn’t work blah blah generalised bullshit.

Jack could do so much more good by signposting things like benefits etc as well as foodbanks - sadly people never in this position before are finding they really need this help - but as always, it’s only what benefits her she’s interested in.

I think the email from 'Peter' could well be genuine.

Because as we know, Jack loves to ever so graciously reply to emails like these but might not see DMs from people on Twitter unless they have CHARTWELLS BOX in big letters. Oh and if your email contains the words 'thrifty shades of beige' you've no fucking chance.

Conversely, I am now very invested in eating some of this.

Also lol at Jack selling three grand's worth of tat in her early 20s. My family is aggressively middle class but I've never heard anyone in those sort of circles, especially her age, refer to Denby crockery as 'the Denby' and quite frankly if you're doing that you're probably going to think that you personally being skint is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone ever. And vintage luggage? Get to absolute fuck.

Anyway back to work.

eta: i really want tomato soup now ffs

I hope Jack’s next book is a book of scriptures.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Give Jack a fish and she’ll bung it in the freezer.

‘She is the living embodiment of the suffering that fiscal tightening causes’

‘She doesn’t really look after herself, which makes you feel quite protective’

Out of the mouths of lazy journalists. This article will be read today by thousands, and is a living embodiment of why she’s still seen as the poster girl of poverty.

Here we go gathering receipts etc. I wonder if this will last longer than 5 minutes. Also, I wonder if anything she's done so far has moved the 'eradicating poverty' needle at all?

Again, she’s spoken about as if she’s a teenager. She’s 32!

The piece is no better than the one about her calling Boris a liar in the Express. Zero fact checking. It's embarrassing.

I am sorry to keep going on about it but this article has tipped me over the edge. Just read it to Mrs Tunnel and all she could say was “it is a bit biased.”

Huh?

D.I.V.O.R.C.E.

(Or, in the words of the OTHER forum, I best get my ducks in a row.)

Me too, it was taught as correct when I was at school. Also had to have one before 'because' and never, on pain of red pen, before 'and'!
Haha, I'm not saying it's unheard of, I love a comma, just an interesting coincidence

Not gonna lie though, would love it if you were her in disguise. Faking a life as a sheep wrangler to hang out here? 10/10 commitment.
