It is like people live in a vacuum with absolutely no concept of food production or any issues surrounding it.
In Jackworld she would be perfectly happy for poors to eat offal and foodwaste (as she has demonstrated) as long as it is 20p.

It's going to be very interesting to see how quickly they drop off. The faster they climb and all that.

She might have been happy with pulling in 1-2k a month on Patreon alone with fewer eyes on her than rather than her new income of 3-6k and drawing in far more scrutiny to her slacktivism.



Edited figures as was a tad over in usd

Fucking hell I hadn't even seen the patreon tip jar rattling.

Looking at twitter though it is noticeable that there are a lot more people asking questions about her dubious tales than there used to be.

It would be interesting to track the previous periods of high sign-ups to see what she was tweeting about at the time.

I think this will increase. A lot of people have been aware of her grifting and flexibility with the truth for a while. But probably held back as she was 'poor' and it felt mean.
But she isn't now, so will be seen as fair game.

Did anyone ever establish how Mom knows Jack and how friendly they are?

In the past I followed NL on Twitter and Insta and her accounts were very professional, although I did see her as a guest on some TV show, possibly in the past 12 months, really can’t remember and although perfectly polite, she had a strange air of detachment about her, a lack of engagement and warmth somehow.

I always get the vibe that she's playing the Nigella character whenever she's on TV. Don't mean that as a negative, but I don't think she's ever really revealed much of herself.

Very interesting reading replies to an article about the meal planning mum on Facebook. It seems a world away to the congratulatory, arse licking stuff that Jack gets (although some are mentioning Jack and 'how she has been doing this for years) but mostly they are saying:

1) where is the nutrional value?
2) why on earth do people have to eat bollock sausages in 2022?
3) calls for home economics to be brought back as a means of helping people

And many comments like this:


Jack needs to change the record. 10 years of campaigning heft, and for what? People are still having to eat bollock sausages out of necessity. Because she's shown that they can make a "nice" meal out of it on the pittance they have been given.

Nigella’s face Like she’s being held at gun point. Meanwhile I’m getting more Buffy the Vampire Slayer ‘Gentleman’ vibes from her number one fan. Bit scary.

From Mumsnet:



Where do they get this shit from? Jack's entire career is a game of broken telephone.
