I cannot get passed this Patreon thing. No one (unless you’re Royalty or mega rich) is financially secure.
Why is it allowed? Not just for her mind. There are others.

I imagine that a lot of the people subscribing to patreon are sycophantic enough to be like the Superfan person and tip toe round her. 'I'm so sorry, I know you're so busy, but I was just wondering when you might be able to send some of those postcards as I haven't had any yet. No worries if you aren't up to it though, I can wait!'

I said a few threads back that I had a really bad time a few years ago when I was doing poorly paid, short contract work trying to break into an industry and it really screwed with my mental health and I worry a lot about ending up in such a situation again. But what I've done about that is access counselling and religiously save to make sure if something does happen, then I have a cushion. Not fleece and guilt trip my friends.

I don’t believe she’s a Tory plant but she’d make a bloody good one. Imagine the field day the ‘you could afford a house if only you stopped buying takeaway coffees and meal deals, you wasteful millennial’ brigade would have with her!

Do we think she also tops up her ‘living wage’ with benefits? Most 3 bed bungalows in TB seem to start at about £1400 per month to rent. Impossible to do on her ‘salary’!
She wouldn’t qualify, and if she was fraudulently claiming they would be on to her straight away because she posts the evidence of her wealth

I think even claiming to still be on benefits would be a step too far for JM. Surely no one would believe that?

Ah right! Odd that for someone who's very photo heavy on social media I haven't seen any Caroline pictures.....even a back of head shot, or lurking in the background, etc
However, if you're struggling financially but paying an assistant who's organisation skills were just as bad as yours wouldn't you question their ability, and whether you can really justify the cost. Certainly if they were crap 2 years ago why would you still be employing them?

That Patreon thing. Boy. She is fucking scum, mate. Not financially secure? Are you taking the piss? Most people arent, you fucking clown.

She is a middle class, spoilt, self entitled little runt who is insanely blind to her privilege.

That has fucked me off so much. How can anyone be so fucking insensitive yet act like a saviour!? YOU ARE NOT A WHITE KNIGHT FOR THE POOR. Fuck off. Cunt.

That’s typical. She can’t stick at anything. How many 5-minute projects has she had since lockdown? All uncompleted and forgotten.

I'd reckon it's probably a little cheaper if it needs a bit of updating, it does look a little dated. Still not shitty though, by most people's definition of shitty!

She doesn’t know what it’s like being in poverty. We know she is a compulsive liar. I would guess that her siblings are furious at her “barefoot & starving” attention seeking story that makes her parents & extended family look like monsters.

Three words: The Gaily Mail

In hindsight that gaily mail thing was clearly a message to Louisa as it was around the time they broke up: Louisa works in ‘serious’ news so Jack of course tried to set up something to rival that...didn’t she literally say she set it up in response to all the negativity of the news? She is so pathetic it makes me physically cringe!

Noooo, not a chance. Most self employed take minimum/living wage and top up the rest with dividends which is all above board and allowed. She’ll almost certainly be doing that, as well as putting ££ goods through the company as an allowable expense (cameras, tech, fridges) which again is 100% allowable! If she was just on the living wage that Hellman’s money would last half the year...

When we were looking for an accountant we met with a real.... array.... of the market, some of them were SO dodgy I was legit scared being there!! But even the nutters proposing illegal ways to minimise ur tax liabilities weren’t suggesting benefits fraud

The Local housing allowance is around £800 per month, so she'd still have a huge shortfall to make up. I suspect that Louisa, if her name was on the tenancy, has been or is still paying towards the rent. If the rent doesn't get paid, and Louisa's name is on the tenancy agreement it will be her that come after.

That Patrron is just so bad. People wouldn't mind her making money from shows, online (Patreon)content, books and speaking events if it wasn't for the constant 'I'm scraping by in my shitty bungalow, here's a link to my tip jar' chat.

Proof she’s a bloody con artist. I have a Patreon account for something else and so went on to look up Jack. Here are a couple of examples of what you get from her....
didn’t even know about this 60000k she got for no product ?!!? This just gets worse ! I joined recently here after slowly becoming aware of Jacks manipulative attention seeking over the last 18months or had no idea about all this other stuff how it’s been going on years ! It’s shocking and infuriating, she literally is a con artist

Googled a little more on her Patreon. Surprise, surprise her monthly revenue is hidden, but is approximated between £200-1500 a month We can see how much her subscribers shot up around lockdown time when she had the begging bowl out (plus PayPal tip jar )

She’s lost a few this past month, however I bet she picks up some more after her MH / relationship / Kitty crisis Twitter posts and re-posting the Patreon link

It's certainly a mystery. I think she said that Caroline was a longstanding friend.
