No words to fully respond, but when I was in Iceland (not the country as some people on another thread thought- they don’t know me yet 😏) the other day, the yellow stickered items were going free at the end of the day.

It is obviously being done to reduce food waste and assist those in most need. The bread could have been frozen and the fruit didn’t look as bad as some of the stuff I see being sold for full price in (one of the 3 🤬) Tesco expresses.

For Jack to think that she is in the same position as those who need to rely on the free yellow stickered food in Iceland is just horrific. Her house is filled with stuff that, if you tot it up is worth a fortune. If she has chosen spend her money on that and hats and spoons rather than food then that is entirely up to her. But she should not be sad fishing about it on the internet for money.

Finally, I just cannot put up with her trivialising mental health conditions anymore. When you are really struggling with any kind of MH condition, you do not make light of it. It is systematically ruining your life. It is making you reevaluate what you thought you would be capable of doing. It is making you think and behave differently . You cannot reduce these disorders to a simple cause as she so often does, you cannot make light of them and imply they can be alleviated by “fuel tank theory” and doing 5 out of 9 things each day.

She had no idea and continues to do more and more damage.

❤

This was meant to be a short post. I apologise. We have a slight smoke alarm issue similar to phoebs going on and I am stressed.

Are we to expect her in an hour?

ETA- sorry for the delayed thank you for the thread sidey B.

Im hearing you on the MH, dear heart. I remember once being in a crisis and my partner forcing me to come out for a walk with the dog just to get away from the four walls that were closing in on me. About half way along our road, in the dark and heavy rain I could not walk any further and sat on the pavement, I felt in crisis, I didn’t know what to do or how to move on from those feelings. A police car passed and I just wanted it to stop and for them to help me in one way or another. Thankful that I was able to have some kind of recovery and grateful for the support of others.
At no time during those dark periods did I ever contemplate making light of the situation for the fake sympathy of strangers on the internet. Nor have I chosen to revisit it (mining your own trauma as Jack called it for her Guardian piece that never happened) for any other reason.
It was a horrible time in my life and many others have experienced much, much worse than me.
She is shameless. There are many comparisons between her behaviour and some of the gaslighting I witnessed when watching the Savile doc on Netflix.

I used to work in the NHS and deceased patients have the same data protection rules as living patients. So, how is she allowed to use their details for this book? Clinicians have to have excellent reasons for gathering information and then no identifiable information is allowed. Inquest rules may be different as I know they are made public.

Sheesh, our Jacksie is turning into the Burke and Hare for the digital age isn't she?

Shame, shame, shame (see what I did there?) on anymore buying this ghoulish book. If it ever appears.

I expect she'll just repeat information that's already been published in the press, and think she's been really clever. She won't be capable of analysing data or presenting a coherent argument, because she doesn't have the background knowledge.
 
I’m still horrified at what she did to that poor woman yesterday. I thought posting the pictures of the food and mocking them was bad enough without the follow-up.

She’ll lie low until this afternoon, come back on and ask everyone what their favourite advert from their childhood was and on it goes. I don’t agree with cancel culture but I’m struggling to understand how she keeps getting away with it. She’s cockier, more arrogant than ever and I think that’s because nobody holds her to account.

I believe in her latest ranting blog she referenced something quite specific ? I wonder if it was personal info shared to her when she was collecting experiences for one of the books she has been writing for 2 years….. I couldn’t bear to read the blog but if anyone is able to expand would be appreciated.

This is the worst I’ve ever seen her. She is disgusting and spectacularly horrible. She is rancid. In real life I don’t know anyone with autism but a girl I talk to on twitter has a son with autism. He’s 17 and at uni and they’ve just moved to where his uni is as he needs his family around him. I bet you he doesn’t behave like her.

Like. Have I been a twit on twitter in the past and in real life. Yes. The difference between Jack and me is that if I’m a twit I own it and I say sorry.

I know lots of autistic people - have produced a couple and probably married one and as a result am surrounded!! And none act like this and it’s insulting she uses it at as excuse.


So to confirm a silly twit posted that cheap pasta would help feed those struggling and other than a list that included giving food to food banks …. What practical advice or changes has Jack made over the past two days to be worshipped as the saviour of the POORS? Oh no she just seems to have once again made it about her…..

I mean Johnson was Mayor of London in 2014, when Jack first gained popularity. Not sure how being pictured with a Southend cookiery book writer would have been an attractive or useful PR opportunity for him? What's the source for this claim anyway? Could it be....JM herself?

Aaaanyway I've just realised that JM has a Wikipedia page, which gives a sanitised version of the timeline which on the surface, seems to make relative sense....I wonder if it was constructed to provide an alternative narrative to here....

I know, I wish I'd paid more attention. There were a series of weird tweets from her account roughly around 2018 that bothered me as I felt she was intentionally trying to give the impression she had a drink problem in a way that didn't ring true, so I muted her but kept following. Then, of course she came out as an addict and I felt really bad for doubting her. Still didn't unmute her as I was beginning to find her a bit whiny. I have a vague recollection about her making a big song and dance about someone IRL saying she'd put on weight (which tbf was quite crappy) but I remember starting off sympathetic and then just wishing she'd shut up because she was really kicking the arse out it. It was only really when she started kicking off about THAT MAN and demanding her own show that I really started to get suspicious about her.

ETA: There's nothing very interesting here but these are the oldest archived tweets of Jack's I can find.

Boring and harmless.

But I did like the bit where Jack admitted she had no friends '- only 7(ish) people had her address..

"thoughts and prayers" is more useful than Jack
 
How can over 1500 like this tweet?

How is her thinking that being out of garlic, ginger, curry powder and frozen spinach is serious?

We can all think of serious situations that people are in right now, we don’t need to list them.

I know she will come back with “I was joking, my trolls ss every word I say and place it out of context.” But the issue is, when someone tweets 200 times a day, their is no context. There is no broad vision to her SM, it is a mishmash of absolute bollocks. She is meant to be all these things to all these people, but actually is doing none of it well at all.
 
Nigella gets a big chunk of blame from me. Jack has at least £2.5k (probably more like £4k) a month coming in and highly likely it'll continue for a long time with a 1-2% drop off each month. Her tip jar probably makes a fortune and she has regular other work. All this enabling is making her worse and worse.

Jack isn't facing any financial hardship but she is still pitching herself to the I'm broke, I struggle in supermarkets, I've only had one holiday in a caravan in years but people attack me for it, because she's no clue how what else to do.

Sorry I see @Brian Butterfield already posted this - I’m here with my hot take.

This has got me raging 😡 maybe this is my aneurysm. Laura is supposed to be a journalist, this tit is why Jack keeps getting BBC gigs

It's a parody account of course so we perhaps should treat this tweet as such.

Phew 😥 thanks didn’t even realise that Jesus best just go have a cig
