I think I need this as my screen saver. I proper belly laugh every time.
Listening to LBC recently, I have heard a presenter talk about his weekly shopping checkup. Each week he checks the price of 12 items in a basket. I think he has milk, bread, apples, cheese etc, basically 12 highly bought items.
He has a snazzy name for this item, so snazzy that I can’t remember it! But he just does a weekly check up on how much that basket will cost.
A simple, effective way to cost check the increase in prices. He has been doing it for a while now. Sometimes there is no increase.
This is something Jack could have done, but it would require persistent and consistent effort and there isn’t a lot of rage to be had as sometimes there is no increase!
Couple more days work should see it done!
See, I had imagined Mr T Roll as Mr T’s lesser known cousin from Georgia
As an aside, Mr T (RIP) grew up in a poor household as one of 12 children. Can imagine him taking fool Jack to task
My SB occasionally needs Melatonin and that must have been what they put in Mr T’s drink to get him on the plane. My son can’t speak but if he could, I’m sure his first words of the day would be “How’d I get here?”
That's the thing exaclty. Every week she focusses on something else, leaving her with nothing really (well, apart from paid appearance gigs it seems)
Oh I thought we were referring to the Penge bungalow murders when Rumpole triumphed as an inexperienced junior barrister. I'll get my coatIt's a reference to Walter Mitty, inspired by Jack's rich fantasy life.

If I'm not mistaken, his profile pic could have been taken in Scotland too.

I see what you did there Lenny!!!
On topic, I think it’s a good thing Jacks‘s been off Twitter for a bit, for her sake and ours.
Jack's platty jubes went like this
Straddling Big Dave's Big gun (so wrong on so many levels).
Getting verbally spanked by Dixon of Dock Green.

Oh poverty solved then? Hooray!
This page is having a chaos, looks like it's channeling Jack's website
Sound pretty much like what the ONS do
All this reinventing the wheel.
A work of genius.
I'm still completely mystified by the Violet Bollocks Impulse - help!
Nothing about it makes sense...
Jack's collected thousands of shopping receipts from her insane horde of supporters
She will (presumably) tabulate all these in an excel spreadsheet or similar (or possibly some pink Bratz notebooks using glittery gel pens, when her hurty arthritic fingers allow).
She will then be in possession of loads of prices of things from ages ago.
Which will be used to ... do bleeping what?

The intent is to prove that the price of "value" ranges of foods have increased by more than the published rate of inflation and, therefore, the "true" rate of inflation is higher for the poorest.
Jack really is a lesson in how to waste time doing pointless tit isn’t she? Well she would be if she ever actually did the things she said she would.
All the poors will have starved to death by the time she bothers to finish it. Luckily for her though, the dead can't riot.
It's quite something. She comes up with utterly pointless ideas that for some unfathomable reason sends the squigs into a frenzy then can't be arsed doing the pointless things.
She really is (a) insane
(b) thick as pigshit
(c) both a and b
The public rate of inflation is (by necessity) a rather crude indicator. But this is typical of Jack's extremely limited understanding of how food production, markets, and costings actually work.

Bit off topic but my wife's cat is ridiculous and spends a lot of her time loudly purring combined with a rumble, and so has been renamed...you guessed it! Pumble the Cat. I hope this does not bode ill for any of the household.
Anyone else really looking forward to The Sloppies this year? We've had some excellent lies and chaoses so far and it's still only June
