Man it’s all bollocks, again. No way is a national tv presenter, author blah blah blah … struggling to pay for home insurance. It’s like what, according to Google, on average a little over a tenner a month. She’s either totally irresponsible or is just after some fresh donations.
The lack of insurance also points towards how naive and unprepared someone could be in even wanting the so-called utopia that is owning a home. The big thing she goes on and on about. It betrays the child like assumption that one buys a house and everything must therefore be amazing - of course, if she did have a home then insurance would be imperative, the expense of which factored in. If she can’t afford insurance now, after 10 years of opportunity (and the apparent need to seek anonymity in the Lake District from time to time) then she’s either lying or is stupendously bad with money. .
