She really is privileged enough to not know how universal credit works.
My husband works full time as a restaurant manager. I am a carer to our disabled son and we private rent. We get universal credit to top up my husbands earnings.



So in theory if Jack earns a low wage, each month her pay would be bumped up by universal credit to pay for her private rent and look after her child. As a one income household


She's a liarrrrrr. She obviously earns over the amount each month to qualify.

But Jack claimed when she got the kitten and people were warning she'd not get care on insurance that she'd checked out everything and she could handle it financially!
Someone, anyone, has got to ask her how she went from doing comfortably enough to be fine with taking on the kitten to more outgoings that incomings and being incredibly stressed about it a few weeks later (after a jolly on the sleeper). Surely this cannot be going unnoticed by many of her followers, particularly the cat obsessed ones of which there were quite a lot. Come on followers, ASK HERRRRRR

Yeah, there was a Radio 4 thing, many years ago. Path of the “15-minute drama” series. No longer available on any platform that I’ve found.
Not noticed “Hollywood” knocking on her door since.

I get the feeling Jack doesn't really like poor people. Like, maybe they're a bit... Common?
People in general, is my guess. Unless they have a blue tick, in which case it’s a quite different story.

Considering she's so down with the "benefits folk" (it's just regular life for those non high earners sometimes, not all a cameo BTW Jack) she really has no idea how it works to NOT be "reasonably well off" ......

I class myself as having a really fortunate life because loads of people have SO little.

Gah.....She's just awful!!

I see from an earlier post that Lily Allen was suggested to play the part of Jack. Anybody got any other suggestions because i am sure Jack would have Meryl Streep in mind.
Actually I think Lily Allen would have been perfect. She’s not an actress, but maybe that is a plus. Lily is from a highly privileged background (very expensive private school, mum a very wealthy and influential TV exec, hugely wealthy stepdad, we are talking multi £m’s, but built her career based on a fake mockney street” persona) - so basically fake. Just like Jack!

I suspect that tweet was aimed at her erstwhile Groucho buddies. Let’s face it, she’s not interested in the povs who want to give her £4 per month. She wants big gifts/donations from the blue-tickers who have more money than sense.

She didn’t give a fuck about that poor kitten. She’s utterly self-centred. Forcing the poor thing to walk on its crippled legs, not recognising that the persistent purring was a sign of pain/distress, posing with the poor thing by thrusting it in the air, slinging it over her shoulder and rubbing it on her tits FFS. It was simply a tool for her own ego. But that’s Jack. No empathy.

@L

She cares not a jot for animal welfare, as the wafer thin mints chicken showed. She was a vegan for 5 minutes. Maybe 6.
TBH I don’t think she was vegan even for that long. It was just a marketing thing, for her “Veganish” book.
Anyone who had any genuine concern about animal welfare at all, and in particular someone who had previously claimed to be vegan, would not be stuffing themselves with repulsive reclaimed chicken meat and low quality pork products stuffed with salt, sugar, starch and additives. She’s a fucking hypocrite. (As if you didn’t already all know that).

Jack's lies have always been astounding but somehow this latest stunt seems even worse. I think it is the sheer gall she has, she can't even wait a decent period for people to forget about her expensive Edinburgh trip before she is on the beg again. Mind you that will be what the mass delete going back three months will be about. All that evidence of expensive furniture, clothes, trips, pets, appliances, rental property and so much more is gone. Such a pity there are receipts eh Jack? She is guilty of fraud now, I always thought the kickstarter was fraud too, am amazed she got away with that. I don't think she is declaring everything to the taxman either. She really needs a harsh life lesson to jolt her into reality. There would be a delicious irony if her family really did disown her and she had to rent a small flat and work a zero hours contract in a real job. Then she would know what burnout feels like, then she would understand why people who have no energy or time want to cook from scratch at the end of a shift let alone rinse beans. She needs to live her fiction for real, only then might she learn some humility and be cured of pathological lying and begging. She might even develop empathy for those in our society without privilege, you know those BLM women writing her book or the genuinely poor people who are stuck in poor housing with a low income and very little chance of progression. Even healthcare and education are a privilege in the UK and Jack has had the full benefit of both. She has no clue but plenty of audacity.

Another thing I forgot to mention for Jack’s suicidal potatoes blog: she claims sadly that it would cost her 37x her living wage to buy the house she lives in, acting like a poor church mouse.

Neglecting to mention that she pays herself a living wage out of her earnings, and hoards the rest!

Lily Allen is sooo like Jack. They even look alike. They even talk in a similar way.

Despite having a famous actor dad, and a wealthy successful mum, Lily went on, and on, and on about how she used to live in a council flat, for about 2 minutes when she was 4 years old. She also makes a big deal of the fact that her mum was a teenage mum (with Lily’s older sister) because Lily obviously thinks it makes her family sound working clarse.

I always believed that Lily and her younger brother Alfie were the inspiration behind Harry Enfield's The Toddlers, he lived with their mum for a good while.

100%. Nothing as bad as an emotionally draining friend who is nowhere to be seen when things are good. She's also a pathological liar so that can't go down well.
I've got a friend who would phone every Friday night and just talk non-stop. She rarely asked about my life or, if she did, would soon go off on a tangent. I'm trying to remember what it was, but I dropped something important and concerning into the conversation (I think it was medical related) and she just moved on like a bulldozer. I don't think she listened, just talked at me.

We don't talk much now but she does have a heart of gold as a friend. I just couldn't cope with the hours of monologue.

By the way, is Tattle mucking about with the rankings again? I'm confused! I was a VIP for a day, then bumped down; earlier today I was Well Known, and now I'm Chatty.

The worst kind of wanker, not giving a shit about where the meat is produced makes me hate her more sadly. This kind of of 'not my circus, not my monkeys' makes me so mad. Fuck, I fucking ate her. If someone is truly starving I could understand. My friend had a farmshop and someone stole a chicken, a free range, highest welfare chicken. His response, if they had come and told me they had no food I would have given it to them.

You have to declare that your business has been affected in a bad way by Covid to get any self employed furlough help. Anyone who claims and then is proved to have falsely claimed will be taxed 100% to grab it back. *shakes the tip jar* also taxable...

@TheDragonWithAFlagon - An excellent uh post. I admire your capability of remaining so calm and constructive.
Recap of the burnout questions:

View attachment 198828
god, she’s so SO dishonest. It’s nuclear level dishonesty. Makes the claim that she hasn’t been able to move for weeks but has to qualify the evidence of activity from a few days ago by talking about it like it was in some way imparted to her from above (more grandiose delusions..) but also, the not so subtle shaking of the tip jar while playing her tiny little violin. It’s transparent. And burnout from what, exactly? Selfies?? Charlatan.
