I thought the same tbh…
“I find it unfathomable that someone with the work you’ve done, the books published to acclaim etc, should find herself in such straits”
Well yes quite Nigella, I think we all find it unfathomable.

Going by my own doggy bills...
Insurance is £68 a month. My dog is an old lady so you naturally pay more, however Content is an expensive designer breed so she will be on a higher amount. She's also a big and bouncy breed and they tend to have more accidents because they're more energetic. Therefore she will be charged more and will possibly have a higher excess. She will be paying £60-£80 per month. (Just FYI my excess is £80 which is about normal)
Food can vary greatly. Mine is on just over a kilo of raw meat a day. Normally is more but she's put on a few kilos and isn't moving much because of the heat. Depending on what we give her and where we get it from we pay about £80 a month (which includes treats and the odd bit of scrambled egg from the cafe!)
I think we can all agree Jack will be buying the cheapest, low value kibble available as this is basically the same as she feeds her son. If she's proud of feeding him Bollock sausages, cheap white bread and smart price maize snacks then you get an idea of how unimportant quality is when feeding loved ones. If the pup is on cheap kibble (which is basically grains with a tiny bit of bollocks sausages in it, same as SB'S diet) then no wonder it has continuous diarrhoea.
Then there's the maintenance. Flea treatments , annual jabs and those very expensive grooming appointments Content will need. Easily rounded up to about £50 a month if you add it all up.
Then other things that people just don't think about. Toys, repair/replacement to chewed up and pissed on things, it all adds up.
Then of course there is doggy day care. Obviously Jack can't possibly give the dog the enrichment and exercise it needs, be it through laziness, real/imaginary illnesses and work commitments (stop laughing).
All in all she's looking at a couple of hundred pounds a month, each and every month for the next 15 years.

Even IF the dog was gifted (we all know it's not, but for the sake of argument). Why on EARTH would you countenance the gift of a large breed puppy when you can't afford SHOWER GEL? And we know it was pre-planned, too, because of the photo earlier this year. The lies fall apart so easilyMass delete incoming. She's talked too much shit since the last one in 2020..ish? If she's gonna start claiming the dog was gifted like everything else, having access to such extravagant gifts and generosity makes her richer than most of us put together. These people can gift her Emins, city breaks, pricey curtains, fancy pastas and spices but when they leave poor Jack is scrubbing herself with the dried up ends of a bar of Smartprice soap

This squig makes some interesting points about the people who are still determined to support Jack, especially the last two tweets in the thread.

The I-typed-my-book-on-a-Nokia-3310 fib is one of the most ridiculous. She landed a book contract with Penguin, no less. If she didn't have access to a computer, she could've a) bought one with the advance or b) asked Penguin and they would've bought or lent her one.
When I was still at uni, I did a six-month internship for a small non-fiction / academic publishing house, and they had at least four spare laptops for authors to borrow if their computer broke down, for instance, and wanted to carry on writing. And this was in 2005, even the most simple laptops were still quite expensive then.

Ah. That explains why I get ads for Sun life insurance and Wiltshire Farm Foods

This fucks me off massively to the extent that I've been on there and outed myself pretty much as a non-TERF, non-Tory, previously living in (minor) poverty as a single parent. I'm protected on Twitter but fuck me if I'm going to have squigs suggesting that this thread is anything to do with gender - I don't think it was even mentioned in Molly's take down. The really fucking annoying thing is on an ideological standpoint I absolutely agree and support JM's views.

What about your Patreon subscribers, people who've topped up the tip jar because they think you're on the verge of destitution, and the people who've supported you by buying your books? Are they not funding you?

Same @SmillieKylie sameNah mate, I’m an Ardent Remainer, and was involved in the roll-out process of the vaccine in my local area. I’m also pretty much a leftie and deffo not transphobic. What I do like to do though is call out injustice and such things as grifting when I see it. Wasn’t hard, just some basic research, not following blindly without question. You should try it, not just go along with the idea that anyone who queries Jack is a far-right loon

Knew she'd imply self-harm.
Reckon she's had tabloid bods on the phone.
How can she claim her own words are malicious lies?

Just general people chatting but a couple of corkers for thread title.
"She is a middle class grifter funded by bleeding hearts."
"She's been rumbled. Her grift is over." Probably not true but cute.

She really needed to shine on DKL to justify that tantrum and as we know she was like a competition winner who wished they'd just taken the cash prize instead. Every opportunity she's had since has been similarly half arsed, it comes to a point where word gets round enough and the work starts to dry up. Even if the current chaos hadn't happened, at some point saying the VBI is nearly ready just doesn't cut it any more.
