Jack is still keeping a vow of silence on the socials but her alter ego, Aunty Pat, threw a
pumble pie at Michael O'Leary in Brussels today. She's very angry about the rising costs of budget flights to Marbella.

In other news, the Guardian News and Media group is doing very well, financially. There was speculation on the last thread about this so I went looking for evidence that they were about to fold or being bought up by a large conglomerate.
Um, no
Revenues are up and have been for several years in a row. See below.
Also, to discount two other bits of fake news:
They did move offices in London over a decade ago, from Farringdon to Kings Cross. But this was a step up into a much, much larger premises which forms part of the Kings Cross regeneration. Very smart offices, fit for purpose for the digital age and accommodating more staff, but also with venues for events, training and concerts.
Also, they are not owned by a proprietor, unlike the Telegraph, Evening Standard, Independent or Daily Mail. Their sole shareholder is the Scott Trust which issues no dividends but reinvests profits back into the operation. So they are not up for sale at this moment, also unlike The Spectator and The Telegraph.
OT: it's completely fair to take a pop at the Graun for the way they boosted Jack's grift without so much as an investigative whisper. They fucked up on that. badly. But let's keep our criticisms based in evidence.

On her way to Brussels, Aunty Pat stopped for a loo break in Lincolnshire and witnessed the most terrible crime. Always on the look out for ne'er-do-wells, she felt it was her civic duty to peer in the windows of the cafe, even though it was closed, and she was horrified by what she saw.
No amount of comfort from the nice, burly PC who responded to her 999 call made up for the belly laughs that followed her down the road and out of town. Luckily, no-one she knows witnessed her embarassment and she soon hopped onto the Eurostar to confront the RyanAir boss geezer with her defrosted mackerel, pickled onion and whipped cream pie.
Police say the call was made with "good intentions" after students were mistaken for bodies.
