Thought I'd leave this here whilst it's semi quiet, has it ever been discussed before? It's erm. . Interesting. Some 'highlights':

-Has a thing for men in uniform which is 'surprising for a lesbian' 🙄.
-Some army blokes outside the venue of the talk assumed her walking stick use was a result of military injury 🙄.
-How we are all silenced by the worry that if we call out a racist uncle he might not talk to us at the next family wedding 🙄
- champagne socialists- 'who doesn't want a glass of bubbly and universal health care?! Guffaw guffaw🙄
- ooh a whole 3.38 seconds before we get on to The Poverty 🙄

There is a long 10 more minutes of extremely cringy nonsensical rants after this but there are only so many eye roll emojis a girl can use. (recommend watching on 1.25x speed if you do wish to subject yourself).

She wants Hettie to be on the stage instead of her?

Um.... think not... you LOVE telling your story Jack.

Banging on about ‘post referendum, Brexit means Brexit Britain.’ In the referendum that you didn’t vote in then?

Gav is winning lads.
 
Phwoar, you lot – I want pie NOW! Potato, butter, cheese, let’s be havin’ you! 😋 Yielding pastry with a hot, luscious filling that makes a satisfying warm spot in your tummy.

I’m gonna cry – got no pie.:cry:

ETA
If you want the filling without the pastry try a Northumberland pan haggerty. I think the Irish have a similar dish but with added bacon. (y)

Can I make a suggestion for using venison? Dice it up and put it in the slow cooker with onion, garlic, tinned tomatoes, big blob of tomato puree, diced sweet potato and a tin of kidney or black beans in chilli sauce. Plus some salt and pepper. Leave it on low and then take the lid off for the last bit so it reduces down a bit. If it's still not quite 'there' add some redcurrant jelly/cranberry sauce and some fresh Thyme (or Coriander, they aren't the same, but both work well with the other flavours).

Thank you will try this tomorrow.

Whaaaa... I may misunderstand what fighting front line means so pls correct me, but women could only “fight” in war in 2016. This video was published November 2016. How could she possibly have had time to acquire & recover from a war injury...... why does her origin story never stop getting more and more ridiculous?

If the people asking about war injuries actually existed, they were taking the piss out of her.

Hahahaha... at 4:30 "this is nothing nostalgic about(...)" (begins long rendition of The Poverty)

At 6:30ish - fears about her son being taken into care. Lies.

At 6:40ish - long dramatic monologue about how she had nothing at all and her son was the only thing left in her whole world. Yeah, except your entire middle class family five minutes away. And your son's father. And his father. And all your friends. And all your friends at the local Labour party, where you were a committed activist and local press secretary.

You know what my lovely Frau & Herron, I’m not a negative person, I’m very live & let live, I look at some of the threads on here about influencers etc and I honestly feel sorry for them because it seems they can’t do right for doing wrong. For some (many, many) reason, every single thing Jack does, says, EVERYTHING gets right on my tits. She really is the most irritating, disingenuous, self centred, self serving, f**king twit I’ve ever come across. And I’m 51. And met a lot of twats. I live in hope that she will either finally get ‘found out’ for her total horse tit or disappear from public view. If it was t for you lot I don’t know what if do. You make me feel seen.

It’s from Blackpool’s neighbour so I’m supposed to hate it on principle but it’s very good. Even better if you crumble some crumbly Lancashire cheese in.



I think butter pie came from Catholics not eating meat on a Friday, probably in the same era - cheese pies like that are also v common up here (and Marks and Sparks sell a good version of the cheese, don’t tell Jack!)

ETA: I just looked it up on wiki and apparently Linda Mc did a song with Paul that mentioned Butter Pie!! 🤣

Wait, cheese pies aren't normal everywhere? That's my favourite pie, mam makes a great one!
 
Butter pie...also know as Catholic pie to add further misery to our lives on a Friday 😭 Nail me to a cross ffs rather than eat another of my mother’s cheese and potato pies of misery 😂
Might make one this week see if I can get the right amount of misery and sacrifice for that authentic catholic childhood experience. 😂😂😂

That TED talk 😖 funny how that fake quivering voice always makes its appearance when she starts on about The Poverty™️. I’m sure most people assume that it’s because she’s overcome with emotion, rather than put on for maximum ‘More Jam Mummy’ effect. She makes me shiver.

Please, it's a TED X talk. That X makes all the difference.

Next TED X organised in my town, I'm going to give a talk about the cabal.

Someone probably saw her with the stick, said "have you been in the wars?" and Jack took it literally 🙄.

ETA - snap @MancBee 😂
 
oh, I got about 3 mins into the tedx talk and I can't bear it!

"the admiring little sister of an raf officer" yet you claim you decked him due to political differences!

"who wants to be a hand-wringing liberal lefty?" erm, plenty of us who didn't spoil our ballots and actually fell out with friends who voted leave!

god, I wish I could make piles of money out of making up any old tit!
