In the Radio 4 bit, I'm sure she said she goes into foodbanks to teach people how to budget? And in, like, the next sentence she's saying all the poors are experts in budgeting #makeitmakesenseAnd if the Poors were so fucking great at budgeting why would they need cooking lessons?
I remember when she got angry at someone saying she portrayed an enid blyton (I think?) cosy poverty. Now she's doing exactly the same - painting everyone in poverty with the same brush.And people living in poverty, as Jack has started to call them, are not some homogeneous group who are great at budgeting.
Some are great, others are ok, others are dreadful. some poor people you will cross the street to avoid.
I hate this prettification of poverty.
How she can make such a statement when she's constantly claiming her rent bounces and she's got CCJs! I'd rather not take budgeting advice off someone who clearly can't budget themselves.In the Radio 4 bit, I'm sure she said she goes into foodbanks to teach people how to budget?

She said they were fakes on Twitter tho so she’s covered. The arrogance.There’s something not the full ticket with her to feel nothing about wearing £2k earrings to do paid media work in a foodbank she’s used to build her monetised brand. It’s a sickness.
Like even when the Kardashian Jenners or any real housewives franchise goes to do charitable work they’ll largely dress down in Nike-level brand athleisure because the alternative is grotesque.
She also said she's developed courses for the trusell trust on budgeting - why if poor people are so good at budgeting?!In the Radio 4 bit, I'm sure she said she goes into foodbanks to teach people how to budget?

There's a definite need to teach people these things (and not just the Poors either) It's a skill that's been largely lost with time and the wider availability of credit and Afterpay. Jack is most definitely not the person to be doing that thoughI remember when she got angry at someone saying she portrayed an enid blyton (I think?) cosy poverty. Now she's doing exactly the same - painting everyone in poverty with the same brush.
Young homeless/vulnerably housed people I've worked with in the past were mostly useless at budgeting because no one had ever taught them. And they had a community who would chuck them a couple of quid for the chicken shop or they'd know which places did a lunch (only a couple a week here as we're in a small town). In some cases they knew which mate would give them some weed to sell so they could make a few quid. They had skills, they got by. But budgeting was often not one of those skills.
Noon - get up and immediately log into Twitter1% of her hundred hour working week is tweeting.
Jack - do a day in the life of. A real one . Not made up (difficult). Because this doesnt quite make sense
There is a song called the Urban Spaceman but I'm sure that's not what is in the box from the space squig.Surely Jack is a wasteman by urban standards?
Bib thread title nom nom nom
A lot seemed to pop up after her collab with twitter, but I'm sure that's just a massive co-inky-dink.I've noticed this too with accounts fanatically defending her. There's been a few I've spotted that joined Twitter this month, and have the same OTT way of writing about her. Definitely suspicious.
Just throwing in a reminder that her food suggestions are often convoluted and wasteful too. We don’t joke about rinsing beans for nothing.She also said she's developed courses for the trusell trust on budgeting - why if poor people are so good at budgeting?!
Hi everyone, what’s your favourite hour of the day? Mine is 2am, as that’s when the JG1 is really kicking in“Thumbed off the carcass”
.
That’s it. I’m off.
ETA- tell me you are a privileged POS without telling me you are a privileged POS.

Yeah, that pisses me off. That's the current line from the privileged left isn't it - the poor are virtuous and organised and hard working! Such a basic take made solely in to position themselves against the Tories and the feckless poor narrative. Of course it's bullshit. Intergenerational poverty is increasing. Families lack knowledge and have nothing - nothing material AND no knowledge - to pass to on to their children. Many young people especially need practical help with cooking, budgeting, basic life admin. Somehow saying that out loud makes you a Tory these days though, and so we're stuck with Jack Splatt on Radio 4 and nothing changes.Also sick of her ‘people on poverty are excellent at budgeting’ claims. Some aren’t. It’s not a case of poor = good, organised, and not poor = bad, frivolous.
It’s almost like you can’t make sweeping generalisations about an entire group of people.
Does Jack even know anyone who is poor these days? On a close, personal level?
she's the urban wasteman baby,She’s the urban wasteman, baby
She’s got slop
She grifts everything she needs
She’s the urban wasteman, baby
She can’t write
She claims she’s no wi-fi
