I totally agree with whoever said that the '£20 shop' is for SB's food because she refuses to spend any more than the £20pw child benefit she gets for him.

Can totally see that. She might even earn too much to get child benefit - at least 25-30k from Patreon plus collabs and ad money? Or perhaps his dad claims it as resident parent. She’s never really gone off on child benefit restrictions recently has she? Probably because it doesn’t affect her. She may have done my memory is DEAD.
 
Was just having a look at twitter and the TD’s timeline. I saw this reply and it was in response to someone discussing that Anna documentary and likening them to Little Mx Poverty. It sums up my feelings perfectly!

I've been thinking about Jack's increasingly worrying obsession with THAT MAN. A big part is just straightforward jealousy but I wonder if a part of it in Jack's mind is a sense of injustice that he can get away with public duck ups (the restaurants going bust), stupid comments (UKIP, big tvs/cheesy chips) whereas she lost her Sainsburys contract because of her comments about David Cameron's child. Of course Jack being incapable of any form of honest self reflection won't acknowledge that there's a world of difference between a stupid comment and a spiteful one. She also fails to realise is that all she does is make stupid comments, throw tantrums, tell lies and churn out slop. In contrast even his detractors acknowledge that JO is a talented chef and has done some good in the world with his youth apprenticeships and improvements in nutritional standards in school meals. The reason he is able to do good campaigning stuff is because he knows about food so can be taken seriously in his lane. Beyond throwing tantrums our ickle smol pixie doesn't really have a lane.

Same babes
 
The problem with compulsive liars like Jack is that they’re not intelligent enough to keep track of their own lies.
I work with a guy who is a compulsive liar and also lazy. He went off sick because he didn’t like the work we were doing and gets a lot of time off because he claims that his partner is chronically ill. He always tells different versions of the same story to people who work together. He got into trouble for telling a load of new staff that the work area they were being trained in made him suicidal. He wriggled out of it. He has since been promoted despite not having a clue about how to do the job properly.
There are plenty of people, this forum is proof, who can keep track of their lies! Unfortunately calling compulsive liars out is deemed as bullying or trolling despite the fact that Jack is a scammer and tax avoider.

I saw it at the time but had blocked it from my brain until now. This is so, so deeply embarrassing, on every level.

How a person can still be cutting about in the world like nothing happened after posting something like this is beyond me*?! And this doesn't even scratch the surface of what she does on the reg.

*This is one of the main things I struggle with when it comes to Jack...there is her constant lying and shameless beggy behaviour which is genuinely sickening, but, after being confronted with and called out on said behaviour in these threads, she STILL continues the grift. It blows my mind. Like, honey (:sick:) your rampant narcissism, compulsive lying, and shady behaviour is SO bleeping obvious to anyone who might actually consider to question your behaviour, and alllll the receipts are here. If it were me (and dear God having all these threads that exposed my behaviour would be my worst nightmare - luckily for me I am not a grifting throbber so there is no risk of that happening) I would be so ashamed that I would disappear, first from public life and then into my own hole forever more.

Yet she continues. And for a while, as someone noted earlier, she did keep the begging on the downlow which, ultimately, is what we all want and why we are here. But now she is doubling down, even starting tit with That Man again, it's...insane?!

It just proves that literally nothing will stop her except proper exposure and full cancellation (hate that term/thing, but am willing to concede that in her case, it's what it was designed for).

I wonder if her therapist, after fighting off the chairs etc. etc. encouraged her to be her "authentic self " and, instead of choosing to look at her own history, behaviours and hoe she can be the beat version of herself, she took that as a licence to be the grifter she always wanted to be.

Rambling now, apologies. But she needs stopping.
 
This Patreon/PayPal stuff is just so immoral. You’ve got someone taking in £3-5k a month and yet still it’s not enough, still she’s asking for more and still grass roots charities are suggesting diverting funds away from them to her?

I really wish there was something we could do. It’s a completely unregulated market place of cash for online activism and it’s sick and perverse, I’m sorry to say it and sorry God but this is the sort of thing you get sent to hell for, it’s truly vile behaviour absolutely terrible.

She got a double bubble of sub payments too, just a fortnight ago, and is back to begging. I think it's sickening. Imagine a genuine person in poverty receiving such a boon. They wouldn't have pissed it away on trinkets and nonsense, they would see it as the actual windfall it is, and use it responsibly.

I'm making something inspired by Jack's "sausage black bean and red wine" idea (it's in the slow cooker now). Although I'm using better sausages than the Basic Bollock Bits range. And I'll be eating it with mash rather than rice. And I wont share pictures of it if it looks like slop (which, given what it is, it may well do). Not going to try and fully cost it because frankly I can't be arsed, but it's not that cheap (very roughly £1.30 per portion).

Quoting myself like a ninny, it actually ended up not looking *that* bad. Still a little bit slop like, so I SHAN'T post it (although I did take a picture to send to my dad, since we sometimes share recipes)

And also like a ninny the above costing is bollocks (unlike the sausages) because 1) it only made 3 portions, not 4 and 2) I forgot about the wine.

A bit late with this, but taking out the small number of ingredients which are used in all three recipes, the total spend for everything listed here (not including fuel/cooking costs) is £38.64. Almost (344%) 193% more than the £20 weekly budget.View attachment 1073424 qView attachment 1073425 q

But she costs the curry powder 🥺
This does highlight that she could be doing so much more for those on a low budget though. Rather than assuming everyone has the same food in Jack has, why doesn’t she put together a £20 a week shopping list and meal plan?
Actually I know the answer, it’s too much like hard work and she can’t be arsed!
