I’m grunking, but have just been listening to a Women’s Hour article on gossip on R4, where Tattle got a mention. We apparently really are quite popular with the media types. Anyway, as you were. You mendacious ninnies have given me bloody pages and pages to grunk this morning. Now absolutely get fucked etc.
 
The sex thing actually makes me feel a bit sad for her?

I mean, I know she is fully reaping what she’s sown on Twitter and I’m sure in her general relationships in life too but it makes it sound like the only person in her RL who has noticed has pretended they care and bought her a burger in order to get a shag then disappeared in the dark. And she’s presenting that as if it’s the height of romance and people should all be falling over themselves with jealousy at her six hour bonking “honeymoon” session.


Even if it’s not true, I think she really thinks it sounds amazing and romantic and honeymoon like and there’s something really telling in that that makes me feel quite sad.

Julie Bindel steps up. Now whatever your thoughts on Julie, it’s hard to deny her campaigning chops. Even Grace Lavery begrudgingly acknowledged the work she’s done for incarcerated women.

I’m pretty sure Julie, or at least her pal Suzanne Moore, has stuck up for Jack in the past. That she’s reaching out publicly is pretty damning for Jack, I think.

And of course, FMs will use it to perpetuate culture war narrative, but I’d be pretty worried about behind the scenes stuff if I were Jack. That’s where she does all her best work, after all (/s).

Suzanne Moore has certainly stood up for Jack more than once and quite forcefully as I recall. Not sure JB has shown much interest before in public, at least but if there's a shift happening there that could be quite significant.

No Jack, you’re crying because your own stupidity is biting your arse. Also, how does it help the real victims to cry rather than be professional? All you do is rage and talk.

I heard it, there wasn’t much in what she said, as usual. She went on about the “literally “ hundreds of people who contact her daily and how one of them feared this will be their last summer. She then made sniffing noises and the presenter shut her down. She contributed nothing.
 
Grunting through the night sex tweets

That R4 interview, fooooofff. When her mike was on I could hear her breath wheezing, she’s clearly had a couple dozen post coital fags overnight. And so nasal she was literally talking from her sinuses.

The presenter asked for tips of food that could be cooked in a microwave and Jack just boasted about a collab she did with BBC Food a few years ago, no tips at all. The other lady gave a quick recipe for microwave gunpowder potatoes and also talked about how a rice cooker is a great way to cook efficiently and well.

Jack really misjudged the tone of the interview, it was clearly meant to be a lighthearted piece and she started talking about people she interacts with on Twitter who are on the verge of imminent suicide, even if true it’s not appropriate. Also we saw for ourselves that someone desperate contacted her on Twitter and she basically dismissed them so I sure hope that wasn’t the person she had in mind, otherwise she’s guilty of milking the experience of someone who she dismissed when she was in a position to give comfort.

then her voice started wobbling out of control and she started to sound on the verge of hysterical ranting and that’s when the presenter quickly shut the segment down.

Terrible terrible terrible, shame on you Jack you were in no fit state to go on air and you should’ve said so when they called you.

Wow, thanks for the update, Jack’s really lost it. Jack is clearly a mess and actually dangerous with her advice. Surely even the BBC, who pander to her middle class poverty porn cosplay should look at that interview, say enough is enough and drop her now. It’s clear she has no idea how to counter the COL crisis, is in fact making matters worse, and coming across as totally unprofessional in interviews. Gee BBC wake up !

This. And part of me hates myself for even going there because it feels dangerously close to the classic Tory bullshit about young WC girls getting pregnant to get a council house. I'd never assume it of anyone else, but there's a clear pattern of calculated behaviour with Jack. She can feel SB slipping away from her as he matures and becomes ever more aware of her narcissism and selfishness, so that's her main manipulation tool gone. What better way to rekindle her rapidly dwindling career/media profile than engineering a rerun of the situation that brought her to prominence in the first place? A new baby, with a partner who'll no doubt run for the hills in a matter of months like all the others, in the midst of a cost of living crisis. The pound signs will be blinding her.

She is definitely trying to bring about The Poverty II.

Her grift and her identity is based on being a single mum. She’s losing that now that her son is nearly a teenager. She wants to get back on the gravy train, and she wants the sense of victimhood.

If she succeeds, motherhood won’t be as easy this time around. SB’s dad is unusually good; most men, even those still with the mother, aren’t that involved. She would be hard pressed to find a man like that again, and she definitely won’t find it with Mr. Pump N. Dump.

Also she will be a lot older, it’s much harder physically to handle birth in your mid 30’s than early 20’s. There’s a much higher risk of congenital abnormalities too, especially as she goes for middle aged men.

Not an expert but I think it would blur the boundaries between professional and personal, and risk giving the patient the wrong idea, and that's probably not a good idea?

and any even remotely skilled therapist would immediately recognise jack as someone who lacks boundaries and requires treading very cautiously. Someone like jack is my actual nightmare client.

ps i don’t think i’ve ever laughed and cringed so much at a thread - this is a vintage one fraus

She really has no idea just how much of an arsehole she really is. Quite the skill

Which makes me think she can't possibly have have worked the steps. Steps 4 and 5 make or break those in recovery in my experience, not many actually get through them, I've known dozens of people to relapse around then and I've not even been in for two years. Going to a couple of meetings a week is a very different thing to actually working a program.

Even worse than that, I think she terrifies people. I’m fortunate enough not to be at risk from these price rises but if I was, the last thing I’d be wanting to hear is people being scared, doom and gloom and stories of suicide. She’s downright dangerous-imagine some depressed people really worried about the future hearing that? It’s worse than no help at all ffs.

It was literally just a mention about the site. I missed the earlier part and was hoping it might be regarding Jack, as I noticed she was trending on Twitter last night, but I doubt it was. I’m still grunking and cannot get over the six hour shag tweet. Fucking hilarious given that she was tweeting for hours as well.
Why on earth would she think her getting laid would make us angry? Mr A woke me up very nicely this morning actually Jack.😊Soz if TMI.
She really is under the delusion that we’re all single, unattractive trolls with no love life isn’t she?
