Self promotion is what it's all about for Jack.

AS IF she’s just reposted her shitty essay. I’m actually shocked, what a self-serving cunt. No time to tweet useful information about where and how to donate to feed disadvantaged children, but wants everyone to read her horribly written tripe and tell her she’s the most cleverest even though she’s the most poorest. So inspiring! Much influential!

No replies, just dutiful ‘likes’ from her whipped followers. What does it achieve? Sigh. What a tit.

It's really getting me down today that she is allowed to get away with this shite. I don't mean to sound melodramatic like Jack, but she's driven me to tears today.

Would she like it if KGM retweeted her £20 a week shop bullcrap pointing out that she is feeding into a Tory pro austerity benefit slashing dumb poor people don't know how to cook narrative?

(He wouldn't though because he has decency and doesn't incite pile ons for clout.)

Someone tell MR that JM's view is that his mum was simply not maverick enough to feed him £20's worth of nutritionally empty tasteless beige slop every week.

"I was being sarcastic, Krish is a mate, here's a picture of my arse with the crack shopped out and four thousand tweets about Ribena"

Getting into Oxbridge was amazing. But that family member peaked at 17.
When I used to date a lot, for my own amusement, I would message men whose profiles started with 'Oxbridge educated' to ask if they felt it was sad that they still defined themselves by a decades old achievement.

Always went down well

Yes, remind them of the misleading picture that you took while doing the live below the line challenge while making out it was all you could afford currently, if I remember correctly?
And while you've been batch cooking up a storm for weeks with your 30 however many freezer boxes?
Stop it, Jack. Stop lying, stop grifting and stop making everything about you.

Just had a quick look on twitter. Found these tweets. I am so fucking angry right now. How can she not see how dangerous she is?

To be fair to these horror squiggles it's the logical conclusion to everything Jack has been funding her middle class lifestyle with for years, after she's currently feeding herself and her son on just £20 per week with plenty left over to do experiment with new recipes. The ability to eat well on a budget is a skill but not one that's of much use when you literally have no money. As anti poverty campaigners go Jack is worse than a man down.

I stand by what I said yesterday that "what uni did you go to" comment was a sarky response to her probably being a know it all and the person in question was thinking "who the fuck is this twit" and therefore asked and was "shocked" to hear she was only secondary school educated.

I know lots of very clever secondary ( only)educated people, they just dont go off on one about stuff they know very little about.
I am university educated and I have never been asked did I go to one or not because it has honestly never came up.

Especially since her annual income is so low that she'd qualify for full maintenance and would never earn enough to pay the loans back <SURE JAN>

To the best of my knowledge (1984 Culture Cmub concert Sydney, Australia!) it's Helen Terry on backing vocals

See, now I’ve got “Muy importante!” from Family Guy stuck in my head, alongside Mackie’s face and a printout of Potatoes!!

Krishnan is a national treasure. She’s a fucking fool.
I enjoyed listening to the episode of Fortunately where Fi and Jane interviewed him. It’s on the BBC Sounds App from 31 July 2020.

Yes exactly this. When your food budget is restricted you need reliability. Back in my skint years, I tended to avoid fresh fruit to an extent for the simple reason that you don't know when you're going to get something sour. Veg is more reliable, similarly you know a tin of beans will taste the same as the last one as will your basic pasta sauce recipe. I'm not suggesting fruit dodging is a healthy approach btw but it does highlight how a tight budget will adversely affect your nutritional intake over time- you can have a good basic diet but not an excellent one.
