I admit to shouting it aloud in the supermarket carpark and doing a large lol.

And in Ukraine ordinary people of all ages are meeting up and making Molotov cocktails to stop the Russians taking over their country. Think we need to think about that squigs instead of calling a feckless grifter a legend

My feeling with Jack is that she is still the pretty and acceptable face of poverty for the middle classes who like to talk about poverty but who do t really understand it.
This includes notable names …some of who should know better.
it’s for this reason that when they need a quick nod to their credentials they dig out Jack and so her followers increase. …for a while.
Those of us who have suspected BS a for years can only stand back and watch while shaking our heads at the madness if it all.

Oh my, I seem to have missed a good old singalong today. And possibly the stickiest, most mawkish, claggiest hagiographical LinkedIn claptrap in the history of social media. To think that people actually put this pustulent oligosaccharide under their own names in conjunction with seeking work? It's worse than all the 'oh, my boss is sooooo fantastic, I can't wait to go in for another 194 hours' long meeting regarding the procuration of paperclips and the curious incident of the Turd in the Decaf Coffee Jar because we are so happy in our Tosspots and Petit Napoleons plc Family and Getting It Done' shite that's been spewed up on the site.
Unfortunatelyfor grifters it doesn't appear that it can be used to offset previous debts to HMRC, though. But it might write off a Racist Mayonnaise or Slaver Pineapple Company's payments from the past financial year. And you do actually have to make the full donation and evidence it.
Interesting. NB: I am not a tax frau.
Unfortunately
Plot twist: squig with the pasta bowls is one of the burglars.
A higher rate taxpayer can use it because they get the extra 20% tax relief. The charity would claim 20% as gift aid but higher rate taxpayers pay 40% so can claim the additional 20%. So it would only benefit her in that way.
She reminds me of Patrick Moore as the GamesMaster here (for younger Frauen, it was a gaming show back in the 90s where gamers who were stuck on their latest game and didn't have WiFi had to write in and ask for help from the GamesMaster, who had quite obviously never played a game in his life and had no idea what he was talking about). Imagine the Jack version!
"Hi JackMaster, I'm stuck on level 7 of Super Grifter Gal. Can you give me some tips to beat the Taxman boss?"
"It's a kilowatt hour! I love facts! Just chop it teeny tiny smally small smol and bung it in a curry or fold into a casserole, chilli, soup, stew or daal."
"Um...thank you so much, JackMaster, but that wasn't really the tip I was looking for..."
"Right, that's my work day done. Speaking of tips, if you want to help me to continue giving my expert advice, my PayPal details are on the screen. Thankyou."

I've just watched Boiling Point with Stephen Graham playing a chef. It opened with an Environmental Health inspection and I'm imagining Jack in that situation 
Please don't feel bad! The open house sale really did happen (covered in local press), but, well, not as Jack tells it. She had amassed a load of fancy stuff - she has mentioned Wedgewood and Denby - and was selling that.
Of course it would be grotesque to buy someone's half-used lightbulbs, children's toys, or second-hand Asda plates, but it wasn't like that at all.
(As a sidenote, she apparently sold her smartphone and had to go back to using a Nokia or whatever. Her first Instagram account was opened a couple of weeks later. How she managed to take the photos remains a mystery...)
ETA: Jack apparently made 3000£ from the sale, which is a good indication of how much expensive stuff she had - look around your house and try to guess what you'd have to sell to make that much. It's a lot of money for second-hand things.
Pretty sure I could replace my entire house contents brand new for that. Resale value of my entire life would be only a fraction of that
I thought the cabal might enjoy this article. Whilst it is a tad OT, It’s lovely and the conclusion perfectly sums up just why Southends finest will NEVER be able to produce a nice plate of food - like a proper chef would. It’s the exact opposite of her “one and done” bollocks and is like an antidote to Miss Little England’s nonsense. Plus, whilst our Slop Queen is quiet, we can read something nice for the soul.

I'm common as muck and spent £150 on Michelin star food to see if it's worth it
I went to Adams in the city centre and the food had me in tears
I reacted to this with a
- in part due to everything you’ve said, but also at a young woman in her early 20s buying Wedgwood and Denby 
She’s a young fogey.
I've just checked my household insurance and it's 27,000€ for a three bedroomed house (yes, I'm weird and like having stuff like insurance). If I can replace the entire contents of my house for this in 2022 what the duck was Jack selling 10 years ago?
Have you seen the reboot with Trevor McDonald as The GamesMaster? It's unsettling.
Also head in a jar Jack is my absolute favourite thing to come out of these threads in a while, it's just hilariously absurd.
I like how, with each airing, jack in a jar looks more and more like distortbot's had a go at her
It’s even more insane as wasn’t she living in a flat at the time? And obviously in her early 20s? Idk if things have changed from THEN but NOW reselling stuff is tough, outside of electronics or things that appreciate in value (quality classic “luxury” fashion items not Diesel scribble pleather jackets, old or limited edition records/books/whatever but even then it’s a small market for it) you’re really talking a few quid per item if that? Even furniture is so hard to sell as you need access to a van to shift it & it’s so cheap new, with cheap/free delivery!
Please check you're not under insured, that seems a very low figure.
Why did I read this as Patrick Stewart
It's fine, I have a small non-UK house. But I could have replaced everything in my last house in the south of England for that amount, Jack must have sold so much stuff to raise 3k that I don't believe it was true.
@colouredlines , can you find the article from the Southend Echo, I had a look but couldn't see it?
Potential tax/charity fraud Jack is one I am eagerly looking forward to this week.
obviously I hope she proves us all wrong and the trussell trust get their £10k cheque along with the other charities as even though I think the shirts were horrible the people who donated did with the best intentions.
She seems to have become emboldened lately to call out various tories and their potential tax affairs and I think this is because even if she does get caught out there will be squiggs who will say it is ok that she doesn’t pay tax etc because she “does good”
