Houses in her road are worth up to £800k.
It is a very 'nice' area. Affluent and middle class commuter belt.
The 'crappy bungalow' is neither crappy nor a bungalow. It is a very nice 3 bedroom detached Victorian/Edwardian property with lots of original features like stained glass windows and fireplaces.
It is has two bathrooms and a huge garden.
This is apparently still all beneath her as it is 'only' rented at approx £1500-£2k a month.

I can't be the only person who thinks this is incredibly offensive to the thousands of her followers who don't live in expensive areas? It's like she's implying her luxury lifestyle is somehow shitter than the lives of those who live in average homes?

If she was only lying to her family and friends, and they just rolled their eyes and ignored her, it would be one thing.

But, and it's a big but, she is lying to a wider audience to obtain money by deception. Journalists are enabling her by not investigating her back story adequately. This in turn has been enabled by her contacts in Parliament, the media, charities, celebrity friends and chef partner.

Because of her connections, journalists don't see the need to verify her statements and accept them at face value. After all, if she has the backing of MP's, charities and celebrities, et al, what possible reason do they have to doubt her?

Let's not sugar coat it, she is defrauding people out of money, some of whome can barely afford it. Those enabling this are equally culpable.

What she is doing is criminal, and one way or another, one day she will pay dearly for that criminal behaviour.

And HMRC will get her if she is in any way not being transparent with her finances.

Reading this it makes me wonder how she can beg for cash given her target audience is people living on a budget. 'Yes, you're poor, but so was I several millenia ago and one day I may well suffer poverty again, so give me your fuckin' money'.

And if she just doesn't realise, well...

I think some people believe the easiest version of the “truth “. Look at Trump, he’s bleating on about the election being “stolen” from him because his ego cannot cope with losing the election. His attitude and ego resulted in his inflammatory speech, which goaded idiots into storming the government building and people dying.

Some people are just genuinely deluded by their own lies. A former close friend of mine made up some appalling tit about his health, stuff he had said about me and him to my colleagues (final straw), all sorts, and when I called him out and fucked him off for good he was still maintaining it was all true. It is exhausting and I should have got shot of him years before I did. Glad I grew a pair eventually.
 
The viggle's comments are still on the Metro article, search the comments by "newest" and they should appear. Also a new viggle has appeared, commenting below one of the first viggle's comments:

:D LOL yet she modestly states that she makes a cracking yorkie?:LOL:.
The photo however tells a different story?
Aunt bessie would not be amused?
Compare and contrast?
So here we have it yet again Jack (imo) putting people off home cooking?
When the shop bought ones look and probably taste much better?
Way to go jack.
Own goal scored yet again?

 
Afternoon you lot. Took the bowl back to my neighbour. Told her how many people had liked the photo of her food and she looked pleased as punch 😊

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? I worked 7 to 12 but now my brain is away with the faeries. Working from home isn't even in the same league as front line work and I am very lucky but tough one today.

A woman has been imprisoned for pretending she had cancer and conning people out of thousands of pounds, she needs to watch out.

Oops sorry for the mistake - mine invites me to be the first to leave a comment! x

Mine says the same. It doesn’t have an option to show newest comments either

Edit - just looked on my work phone and it’s showing on there. Doesn’t come up on my iPad or iPhone though, weird!

Edit 2 - I feel like Jack with my THREE bits of technology. They aren’t all on charge in the hallway tbough!

What happened to the squiggle on Instagram that was a new vegan and didn’t understand what the fuss was about Jack?!?

Ooo I’ve been watching that account with interest ( because I have assignments due, and am queen procrastinator
)
Quite a few posts, definitely someone with SM knowledge, but I’m thinking it’s someone who Jack asked to set up account and post on her behalf,
Edit - auto carrot
