Awwww, I’ve just found Aunty Pat’s first ever passport photo, back when her and Uncle Dennis took their first trip abroad (to the Costa Brava by coach in 1973)

Where the hell did you find this? I need context.

I’m really disturbed by the 70s floral arrangement growing out of the back of her head like she’s time warped.

The darker pit-adjacent panel in that top looks like a giant sweat patch, and yet somehow isn't the least appealing thing about these photos.

Imagine taking those pictures of yourself and posting them publicly. I assume she took about 200 and chose the "best" ones, so I won't speculate what the worst ones look like.

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.

She's got those dead eyes off to a tee even back then.

Imagine trying to seduce your ex into coming back by wearing their grotty sports bra and an unidentifiable piece of shapewear. All while donning a hairstyle that looks like something Shia LeBouef would have when he plays a drug dealer in an indie film.

She really makes quite the effort when she goes on tv doesn’t she?

Yes! This was the free school meals chaos wasn’t it? She turned up in that Lady Di black sheep jumper at one point on breakfast tv, I thought I’d been in a time slip coz Anne Diamond was on TV-AM and I was late for school…

When she was on Lorraine doing the cookery slot took the usb cake for me. She looked properly stinking, like she'd rolled off a mattress on the floor of a crack den and into ITV studios 😬 and the nails! Oh God, the nails.

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 🖕

Most people who got the COL payments work. Over 50% of the UK are in receipt of universal credit/,tax credits and the vsst majority are in work benefits. Unfortunately rather than forcing companies to pay people a living wage, the government would rather top up with in work benefits and sell the lie that benefits claimants are spongers.

Also, giving something to everyone and budgeting for a certain amount of piss taking is easier (and possibly cheaper) than means testing it.
 
My issue with the COL payment for those on UC is it's a short term fix for a long term issue which is that UC isn't enough to live on. By handing out small amounts of cash in lump sums they deflect from the fact that the basic living standards cannot be covered by rates of UC as they are now. That will cost them more to address than chucking £300 at people randomly.
