She's such a hero, posting misinformation on the internet on behalf of an 'extremely vulnerable group'.

I currently deal with sociak care stuff i am not a carer but i help someone who struggles with these things. It the lower amount charged per call and the bigger figure is normally by week.

The lady i help gets help currently pays 482 per month for 4 15 min calls per day.

It is so means tested so if the person is paying that much its because she has the means to do so. I was present when the lady i helped set it up and they went through her finances with a fine tooth comb and came up with that figure. If her savings drops below the threshold the government picks up the difference. Theres really nothing to get.

It actually says on that image - you will pay the maximum charge (£24.74) or the actual cost of your care (£180.81), whichever is the lower amount.

So yeah the person will be paying £24.74.

Paying 13.7% of one's care whilst the council picks up the remaining 86.3% doesn't sound too bad to me. Maybe they're planning on putting it up because it's going to form a massive part of the council's budget (especially with so many elderly in the area), but that's usually taken from the proceeds of selling property.

WTFDidIJustSee

Coming from the last thread with Patreon again, I got it wrong - she will be a Premium account.

You can’t tell me she didn’t go all Billy Big Baws “I’ve got 344% more social media followers than your minimum and TEAM OF EMPLOYEES working at my shitty bungalow/furloughed/not furloughed , give me Premium or DO YOU WANT ME DEAD”

Some Frau smarter than me will be able to figure out the bare minimum she’s actually getting based on this screenshot

apologies, i'm very very VERY far behind, but i can't figure out why, if this is such a huge relief/chance to start over etc etc, she didn't just present it this way to begin with? skip the whole "so poor i'm melting soap scraps woe is me" blog post and just say "gonna be downsizing massively for my mental health, feels so good to cut back to the basics"??? because a couple weeks ago it sure didn't sound like she was feeling in a good place about this.

Why is this person going to Jack and not to their MP/counsellor/CAB? And why isn’t she directing them there. She’s completely irresponsible and sets an example that the way to resolving issues with public funding it through shouting about it on social media.
eta: have now read further through the thread and established neither Jack or the person who received the letter read ANYTHING below the numbers themselves.

Maybe it's her Nan? So she's seeing the inheritance disappearing before her eyes, which is why she didn't stop to read it properly?

Has she jumped in with both feet and misunderstood?
I’m not familiar with the particular benefit but my reading is that they are saying the care costs £180 but they are only being charged £24?

if Jack has got it wrong then people shouldn’t be going to her for advice about benefits

Don't Panic

I’m not sure if it’s from years of making mix tapes for every life event as a young Fraulein, but increasingly I’m finding myself thinking of songs to add to a playlist that celebrates JMs ‘foibles’. Would musical Frauen wish to help with the list, which I will FORENSICALLY compile (at a vague point in the future).

May I offer for starters the obvious ones:-
Goo Goo Muck- The Cramps
Shit Arm Bad Tattoo- Half Man Half Biscuit.
Money For Nothing- Dire Straights
Doctor, Doctor- Thompson Twins
Money- Flying Lizards
Shoplifters of the World Unite- The Smiths
I Touch Myself- The Divinyls (for self love Jack)
Fake- Alexander O Neill
