But this is what she does as part of her self-mythologising. She takes her parents' experiences and makes out like they're her own. Everything from Big Dave and the picket lines to the fostering to the working class backgrounds and the small house they started out in (which Jack must have spent perhaps the first couple of years of her life in?), even her brother and the whole 'army around the edges' schtick. And also the whole running around the hills with the goats under the lemon trees in Cyprus or whatever her vision of her grandpa's childhood was like. She pilfers people's lives and pretends like she's the one living it. Get your own life, Jack!

You put it so well. I’ve mentioned my cousin on here before who reminds me of Jack in so many ways with her compulsive lying.
she does exactly what you describe in the BiB, which was fairly reminiscent of some parts of my childhood when I went to visit my grandparents in Greece. They lived in a very small village, everyone was ancient and the ones who were my age were my cousins. They couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t speak Greek so I used to go to my grandparents field with my yiayia to pick veg and olives and stroke the donkey. I longed for a trip to Butlins.
my cousin has appropriated this type of scenario for herself even though she’s on my maternal side and it’s my dad who is Greek. She tells people she’s half Greek and it’s so cringe for a woman who’s almost 30. Her and Jack would get on like a house on fire.

I’m really sorry I’m from the past - I’ve spent three years doing a PhD in the prison climate. (Could be more obvious but 🔺) and I’ve read a LOT over three full years. I’ve researched and written book chapters about Covid & prisons et et. Like I’ll be honest there isn’t a lot I haven’t read about the modern prison climate. And is she mentioned in a single bleeping piece? Is she duck. I’m sorry, this is so specific to me and I can’t believe she’s lying about it. So many of work on improving prison conditions (I know it’s a contentious issue!) but she has categorically not been involved.

I totally agree. She would cause bleeping chaos on an acute ward. The splitting behaviours, the manipulation, the tantrums. She'd be really hard to work with and cuts to services and lower staffing levels don't help either

Having been, briefly, an inpatient on an acute ward - agreed. We had a couple of people like her when I was in and it made a traumatic experience even worse.

Tbh even in the specialist long term outpatient stuff I attended you needed to have a relative handle on your stuff otherwise it was just going to be triggering. She doesn't seem like she's at a point where she's likely to be receptive to the Very Hard Work needed to get a personality disorder (which I am confident is what she has going on) under control

PS grunking like mad so no idea where this will land
 
I think of all the people who enable Jack’s behaviour, the flying monkeys are the most repulsive. Inserting themselves in other people’s tweets on behalf of a woman in her 30s. Not only nauseatingly patronising but also just pathetic. I wouldn’t even start shouting at anyone who was debating with Mr B.
