Her whole approach to cooking and food shopping summed up perfectly in that 2013 Nazi shitrag article. Bought all the random foods then thought “right what can I make out of this”. Cos that’s exactly how you shop when you’re on a tight budget. Cosseted cosplaying bleep.

Never, ever changed or learned anything.

Maybe her and Daddy hate the Nazi shitrag because in that 2013 article they immortalized this pic and caption
View attachment 2719427 qWhich prove that she’s a MASSIVE bleeping LIAR when she posted this in Potatoes 2020 claiming it’s how she ate all the time
View attachment 2719430 qOh and here’s a random “I bought one of everything in the value range” also from Potatoes
View attachment 2719431 qBetter eat those yogurts up right away, Jack! Your fridge being unplugged and all that.

I've eaten some weird combinations in my life, but lemon curd in savoury rice is just stupid. It's not going to add anything beyond a weird taste that means it's more likely to go to waste. And I do like lemon curd, just with crumpets, not peas.

Not to mention the entire can of hairspray she's used - it's probably opened up another hole in the ozone layer.

I got round to watching Saltburn earlier. Jack has far too many similarities with Ollie Quick. Lying, envy, class preoccupation, slavishly wanting to be other people she's been around, glomming on to people very quickly and even the dining room nudity.

"I'm sure someone would have told me by now if I didn't smell great"

But, guest, that's the textbook example of an issue that people avoid raising in conversation at all costs. Sure, you can do it as a parent. Or maybe as a long-term partner. But other than that, there's a real taboo around it - people will try to find literally any other excuse, no matter how implausible, to avoid sitting downwind of you. And they'll never ever tell you the real reason why.

It's something that I had to deal with it at work in my very first week of managing other people . Looking back on it now, I strongly suspect that the only reason why I was made a manager of my little teamlet was that my boss didn't want to deal with it herself - but I was young and keen and naive, so just went ahead and did it, thinking it was an opportunity to prove myself. And it turned to be probably the most awkward conversation I've had in my life.

I was fairly straightforward about it - "would you mind using deodorant before coming in to work?" - but the guy in question was really surprised. And he stank, really really stank. People would walk to another floor to use the toilets or the kitchen if he'd been in them within the last hour, they'd avoid inviting him to meetings so they wouldn't risk being in an enclosed room with him, and the office had been re-arranged to effectively give him his own cubicle down a dead-end corridor next to the printers and spare computer bits. Needless to say, that office went almost entirely paperless, and no-one ever needed a replacement mouse.

He was 27 years old and no-one had ever told him. No-one.

I got away with it - he wasn't upset, just surprised. I moved to a new job 6 months later - but I just looked him up, and it seems he's still with the current incarnation of that original company, almost 20 years on. But thinking about it now, I can see just how fraught with danger it was - a constructive dismissal lawsuit waiting to happen. I should have refused and demanded that HR deal with it.

And here's the thing: Jack is self employed, she doesn't have an HR team. As a freelancer, her clients would be free to avoid the problem by just not giving her any more work.

Who would dare tell her?

I used to work with new starters and trainees and for some reason, part of the induction included a short unit on personal hygiene, with a corporate video presentation entitled 'Some Of Your Bits Ain't Nice' - I kid you not.

We had to watch that video at school and even in the 90s it was dated and we took the piss out of it.

You’ll be thrilled to hear some of it is on YouTube.

I have been thinking about Jack’s short lived “activism” for BLM recently, so serendipitous you should post her awkward video…
Do we remember when she made big promises about handing her platform over to black creators and this “wouldn’t be the only time she was doing it!” I don’t think she ever actually did this once let alone as a continual thing??
