Why does she even bother in the first place? What a prune.

This white-wingers thing is fascinating.
Jack's world must be very small if she thinks race and political viewpoint always correlate so neatly.

Or is she making a subtle observation about racial bias within the positioning of professional footballers? I would check this claim with granular maths but sadly I can't because I'm BUSY.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, the suggestion that white people have a range of political views but people of colour all hold the same view is well…a bit racist I feel. And demonstrably untrue when you look at the people who currently hold two of highest government positions, the chancellor and the Home Secretary

So she couldn’t just send her thoughts and prayers to the people of Ukraine today then? She had to make it about her. She is a bleeping ghoul.

This is bleeping it exactly. I'm no geopolitical expert (forgot the location of Poland at GCSE, got a D) but my god I feel for these people. It's horrible, and Jack just sees it as another bandwagon to keyboard warrior at.

Dear God, not only is Jack the saviour of the poors, she will be the saviour of Ukraine.

In what way would looking up to Saint Jack be of any use to the Ukrainian people? Give me strength.

From the stuff I've seen on the news recently, Ukrainians are hard as nails and Jack would tit herself given she wore a stab vest to Glasto. bleep.

That's just it though, her world is very small. A little cushy bubble with Jack at the centre. She tries to speak with knowledge and authority about bigger issues, but gets it wrong everytime. She has no idea what she's talking about, no lived experience, and is incapable of reading the room and knowing when to shut the hell up for once.

Aw, she was probably in the last stages of transforming the dining room into her war room - tactically placed coloured post-its don’t stick themselves. What’s she going to do with her red phone now? Damn those white-wingers.

Command and control centre in the crappy bungalow, big wall of TVs - none of which work.
All the tech tethered through one of the iPhones. JM unrolling a huge map of the conflict area only to find it is wallpaper with random scrawlings on the back. Glorious scenes.

Can just imagine the bust of herself being flipped back to reveal a red button a la Batman

I need a jim'll paint it of this 😂

War Jack shows Jack at her narrow minded, Little Englander, right wing best. No wonder she's deleted those tweets.

She's riled tf out of me this morning. Just imagining her cosy chats with her dad about how we should send in the troops and him reliving his glory days in Northern Ireland in which Britain was somehow victorious in bringing peace to the colonies or whatever. ETA all the while patting themselves on the back for how ~left wing~ they are.
 
I think she might have realised how inappropriate her slogan merchandise was.
I wonder if the people who bought them will feel the same way. I cannot imagine rocking up anywhere with a 'Dead People Can't Riot' t-shirt now.
Re. her meeting with her publisher. She replied to Jacks 'silly me on the train tweet' saying that the meeting was wonderful and it was great to see her, or the meeting was great and it was wonderful to see her - so I take it the slop manual is still on.
What will Jack do now? If she can't find the right tone she faces being quiet all day. What is the likelihood of that happening?

It seems to me, her publisher is just yet another enabler 🙄

Considering how awful her next book is likely to be, I don't understand how publishing her is a sound financial decision.

Her last book did 3.1k units despite us being in the middle of a pandemic & post Brexit so people arguably looking to do that sort of end of the world cooking. It appears her other books have only sold well due to the numerous food bank donation drives she’s instigated for her financial betterment?

How many books sold does it tend to take for a publisher to break even on a project? Surely it must be in the tens of thousands rather than low thousands? She’s in her peak at the mo with 750 Patreon subscribers but that doesn’t mean it’ll be enough for them 😬
