BH’s (better half 🤢) pie she hasn’t so much as pushed the pastry to the edges. Also not blind baked the pastry, so it’ll have a soggy bottom. Is it just me or do they look less like pies and more like little tartlets? They look about 7-8cms across and maybe 2cms deep…. Either way, the oversharing never fails to make me feel deeply uncomfortable. Poor SB. Constant new lovers 🤢 in and out of his life and his home, it would be seen as disgusting if it was anyone else. Why does nobody who supports her pick up on this?

This is how you know Jack is middle class. Imagine what would be said about a working class woman who introduced new partners to her children at the drop of her drawers. The middle classes always get the benefit of the doubt.

Just a small and trivial point.
“there’s a pie with your name on it. Autistic = incredibly literal”

but this isn’t an example of being incredibly literal is it? It’s knowingly making a play on words. It’s (if it even happened) a self-aware joke, not thinking that if you say “there’s a pie with your name on it” it has to have a name on it, cause you’re autistic and don’t understand idiomatic phrases.

I don’t want to diagnose anyone online and I don’t know a great deal about autism but I am not autistic as far as I know, and I might feasibly, jokingly text someone “there’s a pie with your name on it” if it literally had their name on it, because I’d see it as a pun around the idiom (the pie is meant for you) and the unusual reality (it actually does have your name in pastry)

my point is that this doesn’t seem an autistic thing at all?

I was just about to say this! Autistic people often take things literally, but it’s not a conscious thing that is pointed out when it’s happening. It falls within the rigidity side of the ‘triad of impairments’ used for autism diagnosis. She’s using a stereotype to reinforce her (IMO fake) diagnosis. I’ve never known a person with autism 🔺, to refer to their rigid thought processes while in the middle of doing something like she does.

The way literal thinking works is subconscious. It would be more likely to occur in a scenario where somebody says to a person with autism “I’ve got a pie here with your name on it” and they are then ~expecting~ a pie with their name literally on it. With someone who is ‘high functioning’ enough to dash here and there at a moments notice, has no routine, uses idioms and convoluted metaphors all day on Twitter - I would expect them to have learnt and filed away ‘with your name on it’ and not taken it literally. Especially in advance of saying it. bleeping hell what am I even trying to explain here?? I must be touched in the Pumble, she’s talking tit and I’m sitting here trying to explain why it’s tit. Maybe I am a sad little haus frau with nothing better to do on the Sabbath 🥹

yeah. It’s a weak play on words. It’s the sort of thing Lewis Carroll might have tossed off into one of the ALICE books on a bad day with a hangover. She is such a hokey old phoney. And here we are putting far more work into analysing her stupid words than she ever puts into anything she writes.

Let us defer to the Observer for a brief explanation of how Jack versus Lee Anderson, Martin Daubney, Laurence Fox and a bloke called Pat
…The row began after deputy leader of the Reclaim Party, Martin Daubney, posted a clip of an interview he had conducted with Anderson.
At the start of the clip, Daubney refers to Monroe as the “self-appointed representative of the impoverished”, adding she has “sold loads of books. Done quite well out of it. No doubt, probably earns more than the prime minister”. Anderson responds by stating: “She’s taking money off some of the most vulnerable people in society and making an absolute fortune on [sic] the back of people.”…

Jack immediately leapt into action. At 5.25 on the 13th May she retweeted the offending video, tagging the lawyer who represented her when she successfully sued Katie Hopkins.

Interestingly, as I write this, the vile video with its career wrecking accusations is still on our heroines timeline, softly, gently ticking up views. All part of her cunning legal strategy I am sure.
At 18.02 Jack tweeted this. It was obvious she meant business.

Jack continued to tag her lawyer throughout the evening of the 13th, keeping him up to date with the fast moving situation

Not perhaps quite as often as she counted the number of views of the video

And she did make time to let us know this interesting fact

At 7.31 however our heroine seemed to become unsure whether her lawyer had the capacity to accommodate her and, possibly sensitive to the accusations laid against her, she added an important rider to her tweet. She would donate the cash if it wasn’t needed and anyone who couldn’t afford it was to donate. A huge relief to me in particular, mid month is always a difficult time.

Unfortunately, no doubt caught up in heat of the moment and keen to help the peoples poverty Princess, not everyone listened

We will take up the story later that night when Jack returned to our screens.

Had her son, his dog and his LFC trackie top over for the day.

Took them to Wilco

Breadcrumbed about her lodger who she’s not allowed to have but has been there for 9 months.
