This is another Tattle myth that keeps getting repeated. Jack claimed benefits. In fact, at the time her story was that delays with her benefits (due to her quitting her first post-fire service job very quickly) caused her to spiral into debt, hence the poverty.

I trust you'll be painstakingly tapping it out on an old Nokia, lit by an indoor solar lamp?
F’kin’ell, @Valiofthedolls . Just….f’kin ‘ell.Speaking of charity fundraising, I discovered something quite interesting the other day looking at her old blog and while piling it together to post here, have just this morning uncovered some MINDBLOWING (to me, apols if this is already widely known) stuff. Like, my mouth hanging open stuff. I am Aghast, flabbergasted and just WOW!
Archiving folk, one of you get ready to archive the heck out of anything here not archived before she catches up and deletes the evidence!
Spoiler cos as always when amassing evidence, it’s long! Apols for any typos
Recall that in 2013 she was in dire straits of “prostitution and stealing food to survive” etc.

Seems odd to me that someone in such abject dire straits would seek to be sponsored to ‘live below the (poverty) line’ on £5 for five days’ food for a charity campaign that April while merrily posting about it.

Let’s see what else she had going on at this time…

Oh, and in March of that same year, despite being in such desperate circumstances herself that she’s resorting to prostitution and stealing food to survive, she selflessly spends a night on the streets, again being sponsored.

MINDBLOWING KLAXON ALERT
Oh, and that manipulative pic of the sad glass of water and toast she included in Potatoes as evidence she was so very, very poor and desperate in 2013?
View attachment 1637857That was actually part of the Live Below the (poverty) Line challenge where she was being sponsored to spend 5 days on less than £5. Check it out, suckas!

You might spot a few other things from potatoes that look familiar but that were actually part of that ‘live on a fiver for five days’ challenge.
Like this for example

Oh, and she has such a lark the first time that she did that challenge again just for fun (and sponsorships) starting on May 19 of that year. Despite being in the dire straits of stealing food, prostitution and suicidal. Selfless, I tell you.

Finally, and less mindblowing cos we all knew this was bollox, but no fridge for “TWO YEARS” but sausages as part of the challenge above and this 2013 pic of her shopping. Looks to me like some other stuff there that needs refrigerating too…

It really fucks me off that these supposed rotten shit holes she lived in were two bedroom places. This riles me right up, and I’ve said this before - When my kids were small I had very little money (exact same era as Jack’s fake pov story), I had cots/toddler beds squashed up against my own bed. It was just whatever, you live within your means. Sure Start, free child places, Healthy Start etc etc etc were brilliant at that time. Nobody skint and single insists their toddler has their own bedroom. If I couldn’t afford lightbulbs or food for my kids, I would have gone for a bedsit, no question.
Why 90s men get make up snarky?
How funny, the print on the curtain behind her disappears right next to her waist.

so would tell me off for buying ‘crap’) but it’s not always viable and takes a lot of time and patience that a lot of people don’t have. I don’t have kids and have usually worked shifts that mean I’m around when the shops are quiet so I can properly browse.The other difference between buying a Jamie book and being a Jack follower is that Jamie manages to refrain from posing thirst shots in his undies with his waist photoshopped to buggery a good 6 inches above where his natural waist should be.
Left the fire service because of shift work then dragged SB around pubs in the rain asking for jobs that would've probably involved shift work.
