Speaking of, here’s 2015. Tradwifing it up with Leggy and then AFTER Leggy. Spot the difference.

Cosplaying bleep. Looking at the pics of her when she was engaged to Louisa in 2019 and Leggy in 2015 it’s amazing how vanilla she gets when she has a rich Sugarmama in the bag.

Never forget Facebook guest. My teeth are knackered but....that conk, that wig, those shark eyes!

Even if the benefits bill was slashed (or wiped out entirely somehow) imo neither this govt nor I suspect the next would use the suddenly available funds to make working people feel any better off.
"Oh but COVID economic shock, Putin's egregious war, fiscal responsibility, Labour said there was no money left, didn't fix roof sun shine blah blah"
I'm also angered by fraudulent claimants (I have examples but 🍕) but I fear that any crackdown would disproportionately impact the genuine ones.

Thank you for saying this. It's one of those things that we're not allowed to talk about as lefties, and I can't speak up about it in other spaces. Socialist values profess fairness and honesty, and the fact is, there are lots of people out there living off the state when they could be working at least part time. I 1000% agree that PIP needs a serious overhaul - I have one friend down South with severe physical disabilities (I've known her since primary school, when her arthritis started) who has to go through annual assessments and appeals - her condition is progressive and she's never going to get better. I have another acquaintance who lives in the same town as me and is claiming PIP mainly for ADHD (has been diagnosed, but has admitted to me that she told the psychologist what she thought they wanted to hear) admits to being a hypochondriac and has somehow managed to claim the top tier of PIP due to physical issues that most of us just get on with (mild asthma, back pain, bladder issues) including higher mobility rate, despite the fact that she can drive, goes on shopping trips to buy clothes and art supplies several times a week, and socialises more than me. :mad:

I know multiple blaggers of this sort. Working class values historically included being proud of not taking handouts. I've got multiple issues I need to see a doctor about but as a working person I can't even get a appointment for the services my NI and tax pay for as it involves phoning for up to an hour or physically waiting outside the surgery.

The non means tested 300 COL payments to everyone on most benefits was pretty fuckin galling too. I know ppl who went to Glasto with that. Are working ppl not experiencing a COL crisis? I know that the answer is to fight for better wages but given that there's no obligation for workplaces to be unionised (mine isn't) you tell me how that works. Hopes and prayers? Although I have left wing values I rarely call myself a leftie these days cos the left has abandoned working ppl. The left thinks it's OK that 2 ppl working full time can only just manage while millions of other homes don't have 1 working person. The left thinks we shouldn't talk about it cos it's divide & conquer. I'm happy to be divided from thieving lazy bums 🖕

Oh God this was SO FUNNY. She got all up in herself for the sake of a comma.

Hopefully she has been cured of her threats to sue all and sundry given the Sue Lee debacle. She doesn't have a 100% success rate anymore and the fundraising for that has bollocksed her up good and proper. Good, the self important pompous little prick. This does make me cackle like a wicked old witch 🧙‍♀️it is nearly Halloween after all.
Hoist by her own petard, bloody brilliant

maybe she'll argue she still has a 100% success rate because she didn't ACTUALLY sue him (she just took the money and ran)

BIB: I'm in the same position - seeing a doctor has become a privilege hasn't it. :( (Friend who claims PIP manages to have regular phone calls with her dr - despite her "severe" phone anxiety :rolleyes:)
 
I’ve just noticed her arm looks a bit bare in this one as our pal Mr Boogly didn’t arrive til later in the year. I’ve added a skeleton and a lovely big wonky bum so we don’t all feel we’re missing out too much

I also put the correct number of fish in the Counting Crows tattoo, covered the wine bottle up with some NON-ALCOHOLIC giant mince pies, and gave Jack a jaunty little hat for the occasion.

Jack must have a lot of dirt on every person that she has had contact with. Those ring binders would make some salacious reading.

Perhaps that's it. She is writing a tell all book, names changed to protect the guilty, with all the nasty things she knows. She can then blackmail people otherwise she will name names.

Sorry if that has given her an idea. But if those around her have enabled her to save their own embarrassment, what do they expect.

Well we all already know thanks to lovely Charles that Nigella did a bit of ❄. Ahem, Jack, has probably offered to draw her in the toilet having a sniff together, like her lovely lady garden x
This could explain the patreon booster from Nigella.
I don't actually care that much as I'M BUSY guarding the bridge and collecting deceased fraus.
Do you want me to STOP BREATHING/MITHERING ❤

2019 Jacks. Bit boring on the whole. She got engaged to her minted Sugarmama so she was tradwifing it a lot and clearly wasn’t trying very hard to be WACKY and OUT THERE (for the most part, but y’know this is Jack we’re talking about).

I'm so confused by her teeth. They seem to change from small chimpanzee teeth to huge horsey ones.

Oh I’m really interested in which recipes you think Nadiya’s ripped off @CabalofBolorneaise!? I’ve found her refreshingly pretty original in whatever I’ve seen her produce. I’d be disappointed if she’s “doing a guest” and just tweaking Good Food recipes 😭
Click to expand...

Some of Nadiya's stuff is original so she's not full guest but I was surprised by my sense of deja vu when I had her books out of the library.

The few off the top of my head that I can find links for are (as pointed out on tattle previously) her brioche wreath is this with chilli added so a change but given how strikingly similar the entire idea and set up is, I'd expect her to mention it? Like Nigella mentioned Nadiya when she did her Fish Finger Bhorta.

Her condensed milk cookies are these, albeit Nadiya's latest version has coconut added also which I suppose is different enough to qualify as a different recipe (as I recall several other of her sweets also are similar to ones on this site published earlier than Nadiya's books/series, across traybakes and a cake but I'd need to get another copy of her book to double check!), and her mustard kale mac and cheese (which also specifies a different pasta than in her picture) is very similar to a Jamie recipe I can't find just now but have been making for ages.

It’s amazing how secretive and manipulative people can be with their compulsions, eg the £300 sideboard vs the actual cost of £1300, the whisky bottle that always looks full because the ones being emptied are hidden away etc but you’d have to be pretty distracted/dim not to realise that there was something awry.

Allegra, Louisa and her parents all had adequate intelligence and opportunity to see through her I think. The extent to which they wanted to/felt obliged to expose her would depend on how protective they felt of their own circumstances and privacy I guess (and how much importance they placed on the impact she’s had). Very glad I wasn’t/am not in their shoes.

I wonder if Jack was convincing LJC all the sideboards were facebook marketplace (or similar) buys? I think they're the sort of thing that if you don't know what they cost, you could easily pass them off as "I got this from Facebook Marketplace/the British heart foundation furniture shop for £50" which while still a bit odd and the sign of a compulsion might not have quite indicated how much money Jack was spunking if she was actually paying for one was what she was telling LJC she'd paid for 6.

I’m willing to bet that her mum thinks next and Debenhams are the epitome of style because I’m sure no one in her life has any clue about fashion. No offense to anyone who shops at either, they have perfectly decent clothes but it’s not high fashion.

Not just her mum. In fact, as she told her beloved “the newspaper”, being trans freed Jack from the TRAUMA of a Debenhams visit.

Luckily the war is over and she can continue to concentrate 100% on being an insufferable bleep.

On this side of the pond, soup casseroles are still very much a thing, especially at faith-based events with large numbers of people. Think Georgian church suppers (the US Georgia, not guest's Georgia) or a meal at the Duggar household.

Jack's next recipe, tater tot casserole only instead of tater tots she'll use prawn cocktail crisps because all potatoes are interchangable?
