Adam Rutherford seems to be on again in the evening.
I have never been to Hay Festival but I don't think guest's self indulgent ill informed honking rambles will go down terribly well tbh.
I imagine the audience are used to entertaining (❎) interesting (❎) and informative (❎) discussion. Quite why they signed up to see her in the first place then is a mystery obviously. And it is sold as talking about Grifty Kitchen - so lengthy asides about 'and then the fire service made it impossible for me to stay and then I had to carry my {dramatic pause} crying son to a foodbank and we lived on toothpaste and cardboard for a year' will hopefully just baffle them.

They will all be watching her.......

And surely Tarquin and Taramasalata will be in the pub somewhere drinking cider and braying like donkeys at each others "hilarious" jokes. Well, the ones that aren't at Daddy and Mummy/Mistress* second home in Tuscany

Nobody with a five bed house, big car and two working parents has ever been considered poor by any metric. HTH!

I’m sticking with my estimate of 150 tickets . This is based on the Wye stage having 400 seats, being about twice the size of the hive tent but having a more chair friendly shape- you will get more rows in a squared shape than an oval

Hotes, obviously I would have bought at least 50 tickets like the ebil troll I am but alas I’ve not been paid by my troll farm/pr cover up overloads yet 😂😉😂. That, and I’d rather stick pumble in my ears, down a slow cooker of tea and eat a prune smoothie bowl depicting all my dead childhood pets than my waste time and money

That audience! Look at them. No diversity whatsoever.
White, middle class, middle England, retired teachers taking the concession tickets, looking to save a few pennies and expecting to learn more about poor people by hearing Jack prattle on.
The people in this audience, or audiences of that type have never been poor and are never likely to be.

Poor people don’t have the money to buy a ticket to hear this. They know their lived experience and this isn’t it.

Jack’s basically a media friendly version of what a poor person looked like. None of them have been confronted by poverty and so they can’t tell the difference. This is nothing that hasn’t been said in any the 500-odd threads before, I’m sorry.

Omg, "three" raves Jackie?! And quite clearly aimed only at her detractors. What a life. Also, I'm going to say it - her nose looks bigger... The bridge is indistinguishable now.
