This is totally it, her 'niche' is about spending less for FOOD (which is always a bit of a dodgy message in itself, even at the best of times). She doesn't suffer from being low-waged so she has absolutely no decent, usable advice for anyone who is already living on the poverty line. I mean, her paid-for Octopus energy 'advice' was to know what you're paying for, rather than, say, finding out if you're eligible for a warm home discount, just as an example. She's not on benefits so she has no freaking idea about such things which is why her little media appearances and 'viral' twitter threads have no purpose other than muddying the already-muddy waters and positioning herself some sort of pov champion.I’m sick of Jack continually piping up with this “look what I can buy for £20” angle. It’s so reductive and depressing and stupid.
Politics isn’t my strong suit but I believe that everybody has a right to a certain standard of living. If someone qualifies for extra money they should have it and it’s nobody else’s affair how it is spent.
£20 could be internet access for children to keep up with homework or for a disabled person to work from home, fuel or fare for someone to get to work or school or just out of the house, heating which not only keeps the house warm but also enables someone to dry their washing in winter , or simply an upgrade from yellow stickers to a nutritious meal that everyone will like.
Oh to hell with you Jack. Im away for a piss and a sandwich.
