Not just insulting to front line workers, but to the millions who experience poverty, deprivation, social inequalities and injustice....the way these influencers bang on, gormelessly, about all they've achieved blows my mind. The staggering lack of empathy or understanding of how privileged they are, and of the realities faced by the many who don't have that privilege. I'm a frontline worker in one of the most deprived parts of the country and I spend so much time incensed that politicians oversee health/social care/public health/education/leveling the duck up or whatever the rest of those departments are called with ZERO idea or experience or empathy for what the people who work in and use all these services face. So I suppose its overly ambitious to expect an influencer to manage it but. It's so frustrating that these are the role models/mouthpieces/faces of neoliberalism capitalism. Ugh. Why is everyone a twitI've just been on Twitter to check out the Molly Mae thing. People are calling influencer culture right wing (at last) and in no way comparable to jobs such as nursing , emergency services etc. Also transpires MM took 500k from the sweatshop outfit PLT whilst their workers were forced to work through Lockdown 1 and they only earn £3.35 an hour. Like Jack, MM does not recognise her privilege and she has a pretend job (influencer) but thinks that she got rich due to 'hard work'. It's pretty insulting to the front line workers. But I'm so glad people are seeing it at last. I would love to see influencers become extinct, they are all out for money and the grift.
I thought 2020 was going to be the year, I thought we would have no appetite for boss babe insta huns in a pandemic but they all blooming flourished it does feel like there is a lot more discontent and backlash going around at the moment. I also hope the tide is turning....There’s been a few influencers-backlash stories lately and I think the media is loving it, great for click bait, influencers are ten a penny and all do or say dumb tit. Everything is about to go a bit recessionary this year and nobody will have time for boss babe insta huns. This could be the year....
Those lentils have the same 24 hours in a day as molly mae and they choose to spend half of that turning into turgid cement at a cost of 29p + the gas/electric = £7.57 now that’s working harder than other lentilsI don't wanna be a dick, but I can't help but feel that if you saddle your poor kid with a name like Molly-Mae...she's not gonna grow up to be a doctor, is she? Not even an honourary double doctor like Jack.
On topic: throwback to the time Jack told readers to cook lentils for 12 hours. Tinned lentils. AKA lentils that have already been cooked, and are ready to eat.
An eye made up with Quality Street red eye shadow for me…Funnily enough, all Vlad keeps showing me is a plethora of vegan cheese.
Don’t worry, she’ll be eating herself.Bagsy not eating Jack
Ooooo soooo early, bookmarkAnyway MMH is about 22, she’s had a backlash for not understanding her privilege because she reckons she’s worked her arse off to get where she is now. It’s a curious concept that people with little life experience who haven’t experienced any setbacks are encouraged to think of themselves as deserving due to “hard work” rather than “pure luck” or “structural racism and inequality working in their favour”. Oh well, MollyMae has years ahead of her to learn. Fack, meanwhile, at this big age and still wanting applause for doing a widdle in the potty.

I'm sorry but how does selling crap to strangers hardwork they are no better tha. Door to door sales ( And they don't even have to yomp from door to door) selling complete crap. Can proudly say I've never bought a think from an insta Hun, wouldn't waste my cash!I've just been on Twitter to check out the Molly Mae thing.

12 hours! They would become a congealed and sentient pulse monster, ready to take over Southend and pollute the sea.I don't wanna be a dick, but I can't help but feel that if you saddle your poor kid with a name like Molly-Mae...she's not gonna grow up to be a doctor, is she?

maybe this is the real cause of covid!12 hours! They would become a congealed and sentient pulse monster, ready to take over Southend and pollute the sea.
This reminded me of Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes. I wonder if Jack remembers that cartoon (from looking it up it was early 90s in the US, I'd have seen it mid 90s, most likely).12 hours! They would become a congealed and sentient pulse monster, ready to take over Southend and pollute the sea.
The word influencer just makes me think of the cult guy who got loads of people to drink poisoned kool aid and they all died. Forgotten his name and have no idea how to use google.I think we should stop calling them influencers and bring back peer pressurers, snake oil salespeople, flim flam people, manipulators and good ole con artists as the appropriate terminology. When you think about it, influencers is a pretty ropey term anyway.
Jim Jones. There's a brilliant 2 part Storyville documentary on him called Terror in the Jungle, which is more like a horror film.The word influencer just makes me think of the cult guy who got loads of people to drink poisoned kool aid and they all died.
