@Khaddrell1 @timolarch I'm trying to show you why she's on the recieving end. She gave really bad advice two days ago that's already cost one poor sap an extra ยฃ50 a year.
She's a clueless twat that should stick to recipes for slop.
@Kevin_Ashton@verycentrist@BootstrapCook Where are you getting 600 calories from? The full tin (with sauce is no more than 200) and she's washed that away.
Oil, butter, black pepper.
At best, this contains about 150 calories and realistically about 100. It also looks like something the dog has vomited up.
#facts.
@BootstrapCook@macjay72 Because, that's NOT what you said. I genuinely pity you, you've changed upon this platform of "voice of the poors" and the best advice you can give, is okay what you can afford??!?
You don't deserve this platform.
Because, that's not what you said before you deleted the tweet, you said "pay what you can ACTUALLY afford" which is downright irresponsible for a public figure.
I may well be wrong, but if you do this and the standing order doesn't cover what the supplier says you owe, isn't there the possibility that they can make you go onto a meter?
Not good advice. Paying a little now means you'll be paying an astronomical amount in the winter. While I understand how much it vexes people having energy co's sitting on your credit, check if your direct debit discount is worth more than any interest you'd earn if you kept it.
Okay but this isn't actually how Direct Debits or standing orders work ๐ I do find all of this (well-intentioned) "just stop paying" advice a little worrying tbh. it's relying on individual action when people are *really* vulnerable, without setting up mutual aid networks
