I hope she suggests that excellent budgeting tip - go through you bank account and cancel everything unnecessary, for example unfulfilled patreons.

I'm in agony listening to the radio right now. I'm about to tap out if she doesn't show up soon.

I have an acquaintance with a wall full of acoustic guitars in different colours in their home, which is frequently featured in their social media. They can't play a single chord.

They once posted a picture of themselves 'playing' one of the guitars and quickly deleted it when someone pointed out the position of their hands didn't make any fucking sense

Well...

Fuck off very much.

Podcast launch but it's paid for sub,
Jackie's name still turning to mud.
Bbc Scotland can't get her on the line,
All because her Mas tater tin didnt shine.

I am on break, just checking it in. Is she a no show? Honestly!

I might not leave the staff room after break. When my boss asks i will just say i didnt fancy it.

I think she's going to be a no-show on BBC Scotland. They've not mentioned her at all in the past half hour and seem to be pushing other items up in the schedule.

She’s now broken into America, Canada and other international territories, so there’s something for her to celebrate
The UK Poverty Tour could become a World Tour at long last. Really hope she breaks the Asian and African markets. A deserved chance to do her greatest hits, Hunger Hurts, Pasta, Potatoes and the rest in front of a wider audience.

Works 100-120 hours a week. Keeps not showing up to radio interviews.

I hate to say it but I'm enjoying BBC Scotland. Rafa and Roger was cute.

I am not for a second suggesting she has, but you can buy sobriety chips on eBay. As many as you like.

Hoping the podcast leads to bigger things. Hope Patreon boots her off their platform. She’s not a creator. Teemill is gone, as is the cash I suspect. If she gets a living wage off PayPal well more fool the people giving her money but she’ll find it hard to waggle the collection tin via Insta. Maybe she’ll do paid content. That, I barely care about. I don’t much care what she does, I wish her no harm, I just want her to stop taking money under false pretences, stop lying and (not gonna happen but) apologise.

Anyone who books her as a poverty expert or money saving cook is a place I’ll avoid as they clearly don’t do their due diligence.

Ironically it’s cosplaying a poor which will likely be a considerable financial hit to her where once it was a licence to print money. She’ll always have her hardcore followers but they’re not her bread and butter they’re just her attention club. If the middle classes suspect something doesn’t add up they will donate to more worthy causes. Let’s face it Jack’s books are for bookcase hubris not cooking. If she’s out of favour they’ll be in the bin and another coffee table cookbook with charitable connections in its place.

Most days I'd rather listen to music. Imagine if Jack appeared on BBC Radio Scotland to sing though. What a start to everyone's morning.

an American podcast I enjoy did a UK tour and their descriptions of British food were hilarious - they were baffled by Greggs sausage rolls and described them as "sort of a pureed meat wrapped in pastry"

She might do if her sexy voice has came back. She might warble out some 'running up that hill' or 'it aint easy being green'

Awh, A-Dallin, must you be so cruel with your words, you utter troll, Jack SHAN'T be eating butter again now she's destined to be actually poor. Mean.
The good ol’ days when she pretended she couldn’t afford butter and used lard with everything while swimming in Cotswold furniture and Smeg fridges with weeks of food
