It says she purchased the fleecy duvet cover in a double. For the boys is it?But Triple S! She’s in pOvErTy!!!!!
I’ve seen poverty, true poverty; I know what it looks like. I can tell you what it does not look like.
It does not look like:
- Trips to Alton Towers + hotel
- A caravan holiday and treats just weeks later
- £4 and £5 coffees out and about
- Hardly eating out - ALL MONTH! (As long as that!)
- Not being able to afford a £30 item of clothing that you want.
- Being able to buy rugs, paints, lampshades, duvet covers etc. for a bedroom makeover.
- Consistent £400 monthly food shops
- The luxury of £700 on taxis
- Nike bags and trainers for school
- A warm, secure home
- Access to sanitary products
- Need I go on?
I’m not disputing that she’s on an incredibly low income and that’s hard to navigate at times and comes with a lot of sacrifice, but the lifestyle she describes is by no means poverty.
She does anyone in real poverty a disservice by promoting her relatively comfortable lifestyle as an example of what poverty looks like. It’s no wonder nobody believes poverty is real in the UK the way she bangs on.
ETA: She claims she’s buying school bags on the 3rd of Oct, then puts a screenshot up of 2 school bags she “just” bought on the 29th of Oct to “prove” she’s spending money she was just given for school uniform on school uniform. Her receipt isn’t dated though… funny that.
