Wow, I reckon you're right, which is a sad way to feel about one's ex. Is she also having a go at Sir Forearms?

Jamie Oliver - state school.
Gordon Ramsey - state school.
Andi Oliver - state school.
Miguel Barclay ???
Tom Aikens - went to professional Hotel School at 16.

Food-related media is full of success stories of people who worked their bollock (sausages) off to succeed. While there are a few poshos, lots of celebrity chefs didn’t do so well in school, got a job in a kitchen while young and worked their way up. Or they worked what Jack calls ‘menial’ jobs and later in life discovered a real passion which they shared with the world. Jack did neither of these things. Could you imagine her as a pot wash being yelled at by chefs? Or working insane shifts in a kitchen in sweltering heat, without being able to tweet about it or take a Dino nap?
 
Press pls don’t run this story - ok Madonna x she’s forgetting her 100% success rate and that she’s a poor?

It's helpful to provide links, rather than just out-of-context screenshots, so we can get a better picture of where the comments are coming from.

In this case, the text comes from a deeply unpleasant blog here: http://howtobeacompletebastard.blogspot.com In a couple of minutes of browsing, I found plenty of racism and sexism, as well as other fucked-up views.

Not the kind of person I would want to be alongside, and wishing physical harm on Jack - as he does - is abhorrent.
 
Congratulations/Many thanks to the person who posted the "Book stack, book stack, book stack Jack is back" post (I could look back in the threads, but SHAN'T as I'm BUSY).

I randomly remembered that on the train 5 minutes ago and had a good laugh out loud to myself 😄. (Nobody in the carriage clapped or responded of course, it's not one of Jack's anecdotes)

Jack continuing to overestimate press interests in her garden arrangements, then.
In other news, I'm going to get the bramble trimmed tomorrow. It's a good bramble, believe I've mentioned that many times before, but I've had enough of it catching on my clothes. If you're from the press, don't even think about reporting this story, Bender's garden is PRIVATE PROPERTY

I can't post a link on my phone easily, I don't use a desktop (and I have a new phone so I don't know how to do it)

I wasn't trying to suggest that I agree with the last sentence in that statement. I was referring to the comments saying she was manipulative and probably didn't express it well and absolutely he comes across as a complete walloper.

I wouldn't personally wish physical harm on anyone particularly as I was threatened with violence to my face recently and had to give a statement to police, I know how horrible it is from experience.
