This is my particular area of expertise*…so I’m going to take a stand on this. Jack is neither Alan Partridge nor David Brent. Both characters develop into almost sympathetic figures for all their flaws. Both have a human-side, show elements of empathy and, at their heart, believe they are doing good. Jack has none of that.

Aside: interesting angle:https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/08/15/proof-david-brent-was-stitched-up-by-the-office

Fully take your point.



No coincidence that a group of food writers were discussing this a while back. One of them was Xanthe. Another, TD. The petals really aren't like chicory.

I read practically Jacks exact words really recently, and it’s driving me mad trying to remember where! I can picture the photo that went with it - a dark jar of leaves. I’m going to trawl Instagram for it…
 
I read the MPs statement this morning which deals with the circumstances leading up to them coming out. The potential for Jack to say several awful triggering things today in response is quite high, so those that need to might want to brace themselves. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she has a rare attack of sense and basic decency but you know...
*taps the sign again*
You don’t need to comment on everything you remotely relate to, Jack. Sometimes silence is better.
