She making up all sorts of rubbish for the clicks now, what a sad little life Jane.

The second one is basically this viral tweet from the other day, there’s not an original thought in her head.

Big Choc had privilege due to wealth before his jobs - his wealth largely comes from being left property by his dad who appears to have been an absolutely scummy landlord 🤷‍♀️ He worked his way to a tiny portion of it, that’s all.

ETA: obviously I don’t know what Big D specifically made in the army and fire service but based on publicly available pay scales for those types of job and the public records around his inheritance, the above is correct. Big D could have been an aberration and paid way more than everyone else for his time in the army and fire service, who knows.

To be fair, Ma E should have had a big payout as her accident at work ended her career as a nurse. I know, I know, it was the NHS so she'll have got less than she should - but it will still have been a decent lump sum at a very handy moment for them. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that it paid for the giant extension to their house.

And Jack has had multiple such windfalls - the book advances & royalties for very little actual work, a number of sponsorship/advertising deals, the Patreon cash, the various grifts. But unlike her parents, she seems to have wasted them all.

Oh I’m sure, I was addressing big Choc’s wealth specifically as Mama E’s deserved payout isn’t to do with him “working himself there” (though I can imagine him taking credit for her nursing career somehow).

I wouldn’t be surprised if she still got less than Big Choc inherited by quite some way though.
 
As the fella said about choc, he's a bleep but you can't knock what he's done.
People don't join the army if they are millionaire families or the fire service. Self grandiose certainly, his daughter being a lying ponce, deffo.
I'll let him just push his bad column into good.

I mean… how many of the royals have joined the army? They’re millionaires.

Big Choc is an enabler and he’s as bad as her in my view. He could have stopped it all in every sense of the word - he could have stopped the poverty, and he could have stopped the grift in its tracks back in the Southend echo days. He didn’t, and it says it all about him and E.

ETA: and we know he and E have been around when she’s been abusing animals and again, no sign of him attempting to stop that. Similarly the lies and oversharing about SB. Narc daughter or not, if you stay in contact with her throughout and seem to support her at various intervals then you shoulder some of the responsibility for standing by and doing nothing while innocents are hurt.

And the ones who ring on a bank holiday and say I rang because I didn't think you would be open. 🤦‍♂️. Just feck off, if no one rang on a bank holiday scheduling would mean no one needed to cover bank Holidays you simpleton.

Agreed. It's one of the things that annoys me most about Jack - her refusal to acknowledge how lucky she is in terms of her family background. It's not just her failure to acknowledge her own relative privilege, it's her continued pretence that Chocco worked himself up to being a millionaire landlord by yomping to work in humiliating trousers.

I'd call her a Tory, but pretty much every Tory-ish person I know does at least admit to having been lucky in life. Jack claims to be the most impoverished urchin that ever was, and yet has had some amazing opportunities, a number of very substantial windfalls... and despite having pissed all of that away still stands to inherit enough to live on. Not just a second chance, but a fourth or fifth or sixth chance.

With the housing situation in London and the South East as it is, you can work as hard as you like but it turns out that your parents' wealth will almost always be the dominant factor in how wealthy you become yourself.

Insofar as Jack does ever talk about this, she does so in a way that makes her seem like she's entirely self-made, as are her parents. But that's just not true, is it? There shouldn't be any shame in admitting it - pretty much everyone who's been able to think of buying a house in the SE in the past decade has a similar story to tell.

Jack wants to pretend that she's pulled herself up by her bootstraps, but if she ever does succeed in doing so it'll only have been because Big D has given her a helping hand. She really should be honest about that.

Yes!

She always, always looks better in the 'before' pic. Yes, even the Burglar Bill one. Sure, she might look a bit grumpier in them, but the 'after' pictures always feature an over-filtered dead-eyed grin that's enough to give anyone nightmares.

I know it's all too easy to get lost when you've been staring at the same picture for minutes on end in a Facetune-type app. But Jack is trying to prove a point, and, as a result, ends up going even further off the path of reality.

As others have said, there's likely a huge dose of dysmorphia there - but it often seems like Jack is weaponising it, daring people to call her out for her over-filtering.

I heard William Sitwell (Eton educated, heir presumptive to the Sitwell baronetcy) describe himself as working class today 🤣🤣🤣

She’s totally a Tory. She just understands so little about politics that she doesn’t understand why she is.

And the schools as well. They may not be private but given there is a very active alumni association that big D is clearly part of for the boys school and at least two of his children followed in his footsteps going there (Jack and RAF brother) that’s a massive privilege. Both in terms of the cachet of a good school (and the tbh the brownie points of it having been state!) and the access through the alumni association and family history ties to people that appear to be high up in Southend society and in industry.

Both she and big Choc came from a background of sheer privilege. Big Choc appears to have actually put the graft in at certain points fair enough (though given he seems to take 100% of the credit for the fostering while it seems Mama E was the one there day in day out) but the Jack Apple doesn’t seem to have fallen far from the big D tree at all.
 
Multiple Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were observed leaving the Sun between 08 and 09 May. Due to the differing speed of the various CMEs many are expected to combine into a single larger arrival towards the end of the UTC day on Friday 10th May or early Saturday 11th May. Where skies are clear and provided dark enough skies, sightings are expected to develop following the CME arrival across the northern half of the UK, with a chance that aurora may become visible to all parts of the UK and similar geomagnetic latitudes. Enhanced activity is expected to persist, but at reduced levels through the night 11th into 12th May (Saturday into Sunday). Aurora activity may remain enhanced after this given the potential for further Earth-directed CMEs in the coming days.

Aurorae may be visible even in Southern England tonight, the skies are going to be clear, and we're only just beyond the new moon! Possibly the strongest aurorae for 20 years!

Jack, of course, will have been glued to Solar Weather reports and will already be on her way with SB to a dark sky park somewhere in Northern Scotland for a spot of wild camping.... won't she?

PS. Jack, if you are reading I can recommend the Galloway Forest Park near Newtown Stewart. SW Scotland, rather than up north, but it's a dark sky park and is accessible by train + bus. Leave by 10.06pm tonight to get there tomorrow morning: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zvDGh7r34ZpFz2AW9
