Ah I don't think any of us appreciate *quite* how exhausting it is having to do EVERYTHING to stop poverty and also bring down the government.
Yes it involves tweeting, but also writing very important things down in moleskins with arthritic hands.
All this just fuelled by crisps and a cold burning fury :cry:

Also @Lazarus as a side note (and showing my age here...) everytime I see your avatar I am reminded of the Bay City Rollers, of which Jack seems to be attempting to get a place in....

Interesting article in the Mail: ;)

Selecting a couple of quotes at random:
"grandiose sense of self-importance and the belief that you are special."
"people who exhibit narcissistic traits might tell their sob story on repeat, to anyone that will listen, in order to gain validation and the hope someone will care for them."

It feels like she hasn’t had an original thought in 10 years: Tories bad, tins good; crisps, sweets, cattos, doggos; peach and chickpea “”curry”; MY poverty, MY trauma; encyclopedia of conditions

This is exactly it though - she has the same politics and outlook on life as I did when I was 17 and a 'literal communist' and a goth and so unbelievably quirky and manic pixie and not like the other girls and pick me! PICK ME! Puh-leeeeeaaaaasuh!

Except when it comes to her and her interests and then all of a sudden she's a cash-grabbing, Emin hoarding, sneer-at-the-working-classes thatcherite lite.

What really interests me about Jack is how she seemed to take on the personalities of the people she was in LT relationships with: with Allegra she was super into food (and her recipes at that time were much better, probs cos Allegra was helping) and posh country living; with LJC she was all Groucho Club and inside media stories. The Jack we have now is what Jack is like when she doesn't have someone else's personality to leech and it's.....ya know once I had a squirrel come into my flat through the window by accident and it was horrible, it was panicking and jumping really fast from wall to wall to ceiling to floor and scrabbling and bashing about and breaking things and making an ear-splitting noise....yeah. Freewheeling Jack is like that.

She often has a retort to the various issues, when feeling emboldened, so has she ever answered why she hasn’t filed company accounts?

Me too, the poor woman must be embarrassed enough at being associated with that shitshow, without her bringing it up. Poor old Jack, she's so desperate to seem impressive "look, look I used to live with an important person. I wasn't always a hoop rinsing Harold pumper".

ETA That has ⚰ 👻 me
