Sorry, I have just Googled this vile specimen and can just imagine him thinking he's on to a good thing with interviewing Jack.I don't know what a Stig Abell is or anything about his radio show, is it important?
They might not have heard her origin story. Will she dust it off again?Times Radio - there’s a demographic
Stephen (Stig) Abell is exactly the sort of person that Jack derides on Twitter, but fawns over as soon as they give her a platform. Privileged upbringing, shoe in to the media set, newspaper editor, radio presenter, TV personality, Islington dweller.I don't know what a Stig Abell is or anything about his radio show, is it important?
I knew I recognised his name from somewhere - Front Row on R4.Sorry, I have just Googled this vile specimen and can just imagine him thinking he's on to a good thing with interviewing Jack.
Stig for clues: Solving the mystery of Mr Abell and the upwards fall...
It was Stephen in the dining room with the Katie Hopkins column…brokenbottleboy.substack.com
Every time she opens her mouth it's more and more obvious that she does not have even the faintest idea of what it's like to be in actual poverty. From her recipes that require hours of cooking, her blasé "I live on £20 a week except for all the extra shite", her safety nets with her parents and SB's dad, the way she waffles on about selling bloody lightbulbs... I work in one of the most deprived areas of the country and part of me would love her to come here and see her get a massive reality check.“How we’re doing?”
WTAF. She went to an all girls’ grammar school. How many times do I have to say this?
Shall I explain the stuff I saw at the RI academy where I last taught? About the homes with no carpets where we did home visits? Where we paid for breakfasts and bus fares and uniforms? Because the poverty that was highlighted on C4 last night is real and never-ending up here. She isn’t part of that. She went to a lovely school and now lives in a lovely house and thinks she is speaking for those who are living on the edge.
Do you know what the edge actually is Jack? That the edge has been here for so long that it is no longer the edge, but life. So piss off with your chip about independent schools and oxbridge. You were mixing with the media set 5 years ago. Sell the Burberry jacket, pay your taxes and polish your spoons.
https://giphy.com/KBx7fQoLxuV7GWhy can’t anyone see that she’s choosing the products to suit her narrative? Even the most basic of research would show that there are products available in the same price bracket as before. She wants to hope to God she doesn’t get picked up by tv because she will make an absolute weapon of herself on national tv spouting this shite. The tweets pointing out what we can all see will be off the scale.

They were locked securely away in her safe (or one of them - she likely has three), while all the precious, personal accoutrements of her life were relegated to the garage.How lucky that they weren't stolen in the recent burglary...

Plus she never seems tied to term dates or school hours or anything like that. Getting up at 8am when SB would've had breakfast and be heading off to school. Just so many things don't make any sense. Least of all the way she never seems to go anywhere or do anything with him.I refuse to believe SB spends much time at Jack's as we haven't had her hot takes on mask wearing in classrooms or the constantly changing rules for Covid. No recipes for the bottomless pit that is a child who's been at secondary school all day and how much they change in that first term . Silly me SB can't change he must always be the tiny Dicken's character asking for more jam
This just makes me think about how sheltered a life she really has had. It seems to me she's always lived in these really nice flats and houses in prosperous areas, and when she's in London she just seems to hang out in Soho or whatever - heck, *I've* probably been to worse parts of London than she has and I live hundreds of miles away. Obviously in Edinburgh she stays within a half mile radius of St Andrews Square and I bet if she's ever come to Glasgow she hasn't ventured outside the Merchant City. Some of the most successful people I know went down to London and started out in terrible, mouldy houseshares in fairly scary areas, but Jack's never, ever known that, even for a short while. And yet she wants to lecture the country about poverty from her privileged little Thorpe Bay bubble. It's so messed up.I work in one of the most deprived areas of the country and part of me would love her to come here and see her get a massive reality check.
I'd love Jack to visit Jaywick...it's one of the most mocked and saddest places in the UK.This just makes me think about how sheltered a life she really has had.
