The Mirror article and "Jackie's" fridge, it's just bollocks. Jack comes from a comparatively well-off family.

Jonny's grandparents (mother: nurse; father: fire service, honoured at Buckingham Palace) would not sit back and see him without adequate food and clothes - nor would his father and, possibly, who knows, his parents.

I think we need a timeline of Jack's life, year by year, from leaving school up until she appeared in the public eye. There are gaps of years, and it's all very murky. She has been VERY selective about what she has said.

I think so too. She's linking them to her MH. She's already tweeted about her autism being the cause for her noticing the DETAIL in the DW book illustrations, and it being the reason she must tweet frantically when she notices an injustice. I am absolutely not saying she doesn't have autism, I am simply wondering if I myself and in fact all of us here also have autism as we notice the details and the injustice of the absolute tripe JM comes off with frequently to her very large platform

Way back on the magical Wednesday of thread #31 I pointed out to JM that she often focused on details and expressed some sympathy with this behaviour, because my daughter does the same thing and gets all het up when she sees one that doesn't chime with her understanding. I absolutely did not mean for it to become one of her *reasons' for getting all frantic all the time, I meant it was something that she could work on to help her to calm down and recognise when she was in a spiral.

I'm not arrogant enough to think our brief exchange had much impact on her, but she has mentioned it a few times, specifically, since that Wednesday and I'm feeling all itchy to think I've even vaguely given her a get out. I nearly posted about it before, but thought it was a bit self-obsessed of me to see what I said as having an impact. Anyway, if it did, I just wanted to point out that she completely misunderstood what I meant. I didn't mean it to be an excuse/reason, I meant it to be something that it might be helpful to work on.

I’ve noticed that too and have also been reminded of the (very kind and sympathetic) message you posted to her on here.
 
HH are great to engage kids, I adored them when I was small too. If any of the cabal whose mini-fraus like them are in the London area I'd really recommend visiting the Clink museum near London Bridge - it's almost like a museum version of horrible histories, I'm 32 and went just before lockdown and loved it but more importantly there were plenty of kids around 8-13ish who were enthralled!

I agree.

Anyway, onto the mirror article (Jackie?) and some expert comes on to say sb isn't getting any milk. Plus that's expensive looking cereal and baby milk for a 2 year old? If only she knew how to rinse beans back then eh🙄View attachment 175355 q

To give Jack the benefit of the doubt, the cereal may have come from the food bank (many, many threads ago someone posted about the importance of donating something nice as it could make someone’s day)

Same for the formula (though Aptamil is ~fancy~ formula 😂 ). Pure speculation but would food banks give it to a 2 year old in (allegedly) dire poverty, as it provides more calories and nutrients than normal milk? That’s a sad thought

Everything else looks to be value range - genuinely a bit of poverty or just greater dedication to the cosplay at the start? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why would he not pay child support? And why would she not go through the CMS to forcibly claim it?

He obviously was not a deadbeat if he was having him two nights a week and buying him things. Why would he draw the line at making sure he had enough food? That makes no sense
