I mentioned this a couple of threads ago that some of her behaviour reminded me of people I'd worked with in the past, with diagnosis of BPD. Especially shifting sense of identity. Not armchair diagnosing here, wish to make that clear - just making an observation that there appear to be similar traits, from what we see.

Though she will likely deny it, I can't help but feel *something* unrelated to us has happened. When she was on a high from DK, we were briefly a funny bunch of idiots, and now we're back to being unkind, if not dangerous, obsessives and trolls. I can't help but feel, though I appreciate reading uncomplimentary things about you is unpleasant (though, again, A CHOICE) this isn't the main source of her fury.

Speculation m'lud, just idle thoughts, no statement of fact.

I suspect, repeat, *suspect*, I am in no way stating a fact your honour, that her relationship is in trouble and she has decided that it is the fault of the *evil trolls* on here rather than of her own making. Again, pure speculation :censored:

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'd rather eat Jack's lasagne than defend Katie Hopkins BUT... I have been wondering lately how much of that whole legal battle boiled down to Jack being annoyed at being mistaken for Laurie Penny. How much of it was really a 'don't you know who I am?!' tantrum.

I feel like it was a case of neither of them being willing to be seen as backing down.

Also another hint towards the idea she has no money. Priorities really. Can you afford to spend £60 revamping a shed in the midst of a pandemic? Or do you need that £60 to feed your family or pay your Internet bill? Internet that you already knew was shoddy thanks to last weeks endeavours.



Some of these may seem a bit fussy with the steps but they always work. If you ever have the chance to visit the bakery, please do.

Just had to add the hummingbird chocolate and double chocolate cookies there are amazing! Made them loads of times and they are delicious!

The problem with “we’re all on the spectrum somewhere” as a statement is IT ISN’T TRUE 😀 The autism spectrum doesn’t have “non-autistic people” at one end and “very autistic people” at the other. If you’re not autistic then you’re not on the autism spectrum anywhere. Yes, neurotypical people might have one or two traits but that isn’t the same as being autistic. I’m horrified that a paediatrician actually said it to you 🤦‍♀️ As a previous poster said, it’s very damaging to autistic people and their struggles to suggest that everyone is a little bit autistic. Nope.

(There’s a lot of autism in my family so I have skin in the game, as it were).

As for Jack, I agree that she doesn’t look well at all. She looks skinny and exhausted. I really think she’s been quite manic and not taking care of herself.

contentious point. I've known educational psychologists to say that, I've also seen diagnosis of 'mildly autistic' from an EP being slated by another EP as wrong as it is either autism or isn't.

I think one of the side effects of some addh meds is weightloss?

In Jack’s defence, she initially offered Katie Hopkins the option of making a donation to a migrant charity (I think the false comments about JM came shortly after KH had made her appalling comment likening the people who had recently died trying to cross to the UK to cockroaches) and issuing a public apology. KH refused to do either, and so they went to court.

I'm confused. When have we discussed this photo on here before?

Some time ago it was mentioned that Jack had an old instagram account and discussions were had around the things she'd posted on there and how they seemed to be at odds with things she had written on her blog at the same time.
There was a mention of her getting tattoos whilst claiming to have no money.
It transpired that, thanks to Jack's clarification on twitter today, she was not in fact the individual getting said tattoo but instead it was a friend.
I stand corrected m'lud!

She strikes me as a person who collects disability benefit for herself even though there's duck all wrong, she's a con artist.

I think if Hopkins had of just made a public apology and no donation it would have been dropped. It was just a mistaken identity.

Although going back to the court case Monroe was scaled by the judge for deleting so many tweets. Seems odd that a judge doesn't have access to all the "deleted" tweets that surely still exist on the twitter server. It's really encouraged her to be a right keyboard warrior then think she can get away with it by deleting her tweets.

As someone who took Ritalin from the ages of 7 to 18, it does help concentration, but I weighed less than 10 stone when I left school, and had a ridiculous temper throughout most of my teenage years.

This, and also I’m sure I read in one of Jack’s many interviews that she tried to back out at one or more points but couldn’t because she’d signed a ‘no win no fee’ contract with a high profile specialist libel lawyer, so she would have owed them all her legal fees up to that point and she couldn’t afford it so had to press ahead. I think the lawyers exploited her to a degree, of course she’s an adult but I think they saw a profile-raising opportunity and managed to pull it off.

I assume the court could ask Twitter for the deleted tweets, but I don't think a US company would comply with a request for that for a libel case.
