That was when guest had scampered adorably into Leggy’s big London townhouse and her cash was burning a hole in the pocket of her urchin smock so she went on a designer checked trousers, leather jackets, blazers, Burberry scarves, shirts, waistcoats, leather brogues and ties rampage. The creepy lil’ Skinwalker.

I am about 80% confident those shoes Jack’s wearing are Westwood.
 
I wonder if she still fumes about THAT MAN at all. I mean they’re no longer in anything like the same sector. Any cooking orientated ‘gig’ for her would at this stage be a comeback. Was there really a time when both their names were being discussed (if only by her twitter neckbeards and rage nanas) for the same job? What a weird time lockdown was…

I bet she now wishes she'd said yes to Strictly all those times they asked her (joking of course Jack, we know they never asked you). Although I would love to see her on there. You know she would be all "completed it, mate" to whichever poor pro she was paired with, she did study over 18 months of ballet with Madame Linda who had a studio above a charity shop on Southend high street.

bleeping hell, Jack. From the Waulking Songs in the Hebrides to the Hop-Pickers' Dances in Kent, every single part of the UK has a long tradition of spontaneous communal song and dance.

That whole Tanzania trip was such a patronising tit-show. Jack should have been more aware, but a large part of the blame has to go to Oxfam for facilitating it. They seem to have dropped her almost immediately afterwards, but have never publicly disowned her - and, ten years later, her agent continues to claim that she is an 'Oxfam Ambassador' and uses that to drum up work on her behalf.

I actually contacted Oxfam about this, pointing out that she had done nothing for then in a decade, and they were useless.

She just can't resist being a patronising bore, can she? It's either wholesome Africans singing to welcome their white saviours, or a Dickensian accordion player, mournful that he's never thought to rinse his hoops. I'm so glad she's fucked off, she's a bleeping liability every time she opens her gob.

According to the news reports I've read, he asked for a sensitivity reader and that didn't happen, and his publisher are taking the blame for that.

Yes I saw that, he specified a read through with a community representative group. Publishers couldn’t be arsed, clearly. It’s like Jamie was trying to do some “due diligence” almost like he didn’t want it to be Jollof rice all over again….

So did I - if anything, their answer was actually worse than useless as it referred to a website which has a list of Oxfam Ambassadors in the USA, but which obviously didn't mention Jack (and, according to the Internet Archive, never has).

That was almost exactly two years ago, and Jack's biggest gigs since then (Greenbelt and Question Time, both in mid-2023) both specifically mentioned the Oxfam link when talking about her.

I assume they have a policy of not publicly disagreeing with people they've worked with in the past, but Oxfam UK have a whole team dedicated to managing their relationship with celebrity partners and ambassadors - so I find it astonishing that they don't seem to have any procedure for dealing with dormant, inactive, or abandoned partnerships with people who might put their reputation at risk.

And here’s where she nicked the idea to call her tit (imaginary) book the Hunger Names. Didn’t even manage to think up that shite all by her grim thicko ownself.

Lol reworks it ever so slightly for her blog to remove the Daily Mirror and (literally) center herself.

This lengthy piece of utter bilge sums her up more than any other for me. Pomposity, stupidity, grandiosity, idiocy, just pure, pure unadulterated guest from start to finish. (If anyone hasn’t read it or wants to re-read and can’t open the link let me know and will ss it for you.)

Dear Mr Farrington, The Mail believes oral sex and Pringles give you cancer. Maybe you shouldn't believe what they write about me either.

Dear Editor, It appears that your correspondent P. Farrington in Tuesdays Letters page has fallen foul of the first rule of Common Sense and Decency that is, do not believe a word that...

She proceeds to number her responses; but doesn’t answer the question until number four. This whole article could have been one sentence!

“To answer Mr Farrington’s questions in turn, as the only person who reasonably can:

1. ‘How can blogger call herself Dr?’ I am a twice-published author with a best selling book. I am a campaigner for Oxfam and the Trussell Trust and have raised over £50,000 for Street Child United, the Trussell Trust, the YMCA, Stonewall, The Food Chain and Oxfam through various fundraisers, mostly involving me starving myself for a week for charity, sleeping on a cardboard box on the floor of a car park, or catering large and complex events free of charge. I am an ambassador for Oxfam and a patron of The Food Chain. I am a mother. I am a journalist. I am a campaigner, forcing a debate on food banks in the House of Commons by getting 140,000 signatures on a petition in a matter of days, and travelling to Tanzania to interview female farmers in the rice fields of Morogoro. I have attended the G8 summit, spoken at Conservative Party conference, and Labour, and the Greens, and the Peoples Assembly. I have been on BBC Question Time. I have cooked dinner for Claudia Roden, Mary Portas, Clare Balding, Sue Perkins and dessert for Bill Nighy (but not all at once). I do write a blog, yes, but it is a fraction of what I do.”

what has this got to do with the question? 0/1 guest

To be fair, I think guest and Russell Brand were the perfect fit. So much in common:

tit trousers
Think they are some kind of genius but are actually as thick as a whale omelette
Hair that looks like something will come crawling out at any second
Should be behind bars pronto
Smell of arses
Dog gums.

I totally agree!!
