It’s so miserable watching her retweets go up and up. It’s her new pinned tweet now too. How was Mary Poppins only this afternoon?! I’d rather have softly, gently, slowly Jack than activist Jack.

Yeah but the novelty soon wears off for her that's what you have to think, before long she will see something else shiny that she can hook her anchor to.

Look at poor THUNDERCLAP that didnt even last a week!
 
Out with the thunderclaps and in with the Queen of quick chats!

Sorry wanting to add because I feel bad the Jehovah's witnesses I spoke to where lovely and changed my perception of them. I just told them from the start I wasn't converting as I believe the religion you choose is the one you stick with. My own belief. Don't expect anyone else to feel this way.

They taught me alot, how to spot people who claim to be one thing but are the opposite. Etc. Sorry to go off topic I felt bad as I sounded as if I was mocking them and didn't mean it.

Also she's a right twit. I hope this burns the headlines tomorrow but without her or with a slight mention that's she's helping behind the scenes.

The one I broke actually smashed into smithereens. I was quite impressed and it was real pyrex and quite dear as my husband bought it in Debenhams. 🤣

I used to have this amazing Pyrex dish. Just the right size and shape for lasagne. Pies, bakes etc. I had it for years. Then my husband broke it. I've never been able to find a replacement half as good.

I mention it often.

She actually used the same excuse when she backed down from her “black voices” thing. She was spectacularly tone deaf about the whole thing, even saying she would “curate” a book of black women’s writing (edited by herself of course), and would give over her SM platform to black food bloggers an ex cooks. Then when her lack of activity was questioned, it was because she didn’t want to expose those black food bloggers to her trolls.
She’s utterly pathetic.

Perhaps the black food bloggers felt they could do a bit better than a Z list social media circus using them for clout. Poor Jack, even her white privilege is bleeping useless.

I’ve broken loads of Pyrex stuff. She isn’t trying hard enough

My cat when I was 17 nearly amputated one of my fingers with a Pyrex bowl - I was rinsing it under the tap, as I was fending for myself whilst my mother was in hospital for three weeks and she jumped up beside me. I jumped, dinged the inside of the Pyrex bowl on the tap and it shattered into long, scalpel like shards between my fingers. I saw my tendon, said 'tit', and ran out of the house and across the road to my Mum's friend with my hand up in the air. The cut was so deep and surgical, I didn't start bleeding until her friend had brought me inside, seeing my face and my hand held up high, knowing this was obvious An Emergency. And then I bled. Four hours later, after sitting in A&E with my hand up like I was trying not to ask a question in school, wrapped in four expensive linen teatowels and one pristine white hand towel, I was patched up and went to visit my mother in her ward.

I refused to have Pyrex in my own home when I moved out because of it - and, thinking about it, I think my mother got rid of everything as soon as she got home from hospital.

One of my teenage boys opened the cupboard and my best pyrex dish fell onto his foot and the pyrex dish broke, it sliced his toe open and he had to go to hospital and have the wound glued back together.

Tbh obviously I felt bad about his toe but I felt even worse about my pyrex 😂

This jug was the same it was a large one. Ive never seen one since and we miss it. I felt tit the day it broke but it was a complete accident. I hate our floors in the kitchen for this very reason, everything that hits it dies forever.

The founder of the thunderclap has gone from her bio, woe!!

There’s so many people blowing smoke up her arse on Twitter right now, she must be off her tits on all the praise. Like proper gurning, big-fish-little-fish-cardboard-box mashed up raver of excitement because of all the people telling her she’s the best person in the whole of the UK.

All of this crappy food box stuff already happened a few months ago. She said she was going to do something about it then, it never materialised. Suspect the same will happen this time - the attention from the public on this issue will dwindle and her minuscule attention span means she’s onto the next thing. But she’s shouted so much about ‘doing something’ that people become convinced that she has actually done something. She’s centred herself instead once again. It’s infuriating. She’s a narc.

The thing is though with the praise she's getting, it won't be enough to please her. It never is enough, she wants more all the time. More recognition from people of 'higher status', all the praise and credit, more status for herself.

Importantly too, she wants noone critiquing or even questioning her. A narc can have all the praise in the world, but just one person doing that will bring on the rage!

She wants to be the centre, and that hasn't happened for her tonight.

To delve deeper:

She claims to have been consulted many times by govt advisors who insist that she remain anonymous.

She says this is usually "a box-ticking exercise".

Am I thick, or how can it be both? If she IS being consulted to tick a box, fill a quota etc, then surely she would HAVE to be named? "We consulted working class people such as food writer Jack Monroe" etc etc. Nothing makes sense!!

Also, if she was involved in policy and law-making as she has claimed, wouldn't she be named in Hansard documents?
