But why does she want to sue everyone.
I used to work with the very well to do in a country known to be highly litigious and they were all suing each other like the rest of us eschew slop, I couldn't keep up. Seriously, it was the one thing they were all into aside from hunting that I could not wrap my head around. So maybe aspirational litigation exists and it's that?

Side note: in that article about her being 'transgender', she says she came out as gay at the age of 15, but then, from the sounds of that blog post, has been pretty much exclusively dating men? I get that she might not have wanted to be out to the entire world, but it does seem a bit odd. Usually (at least in my experience) don't people come out after they've dated a member of the opposite sex (if at all?) ?

I suppose it's a status symbol, as legal costs are pretty damn expensive (plus you can compete over whose lawyer is more forensic, more expensive, more qualified, sexier etc?)

Finished work at half 8 and have just gruntled the last 40 pages in shock. What is actually happening? Someone posted the new moon earlier...., her whole Twitter is a moon phase..... we are coming into the waxing crescent next!!

Just caught up. The problem with following the Jack threads on here is that I start with lots of questions about food hygiene and by the time I have caught up, she’s all about Corbyn. Slow down Jack please

Reading through her old blog, her command of the English language seemed to be a lot better back then. It may still have been self-obsessed claptrap, but she seemed more grounded and her writing was at least coherent.

Been grunking all night because today was something else. I had to mute her on Twitter in the end cos she kept getting retweeted into my timeline and it was raising my blood pressure.

On another note, my granddad was Greek Cypriot (he’s DEAD!) from the occupied side. Ended up as a barber (cliche) then traffic warden though, not slum landlord Can’t bear that’s she’s also of GC heritage.

Though we should add that Jack's was a gift from Puddle Mate for she is a scrappy little working class urchin.

The Southend echo prints any old shite. I should know. Shot off a letter to them as I was enraged at someone on the letters page. They printed my letter. With my address.

Matt tebbutt’s pretending he’s at the Groucho on his insta stories wonder if he’s imagining Jack’s there singing along to the piano or telling Jude to sit the fuck down so she can see Redcar

Coming from a family where my father was a Gunner in the Falklands, and a brother currently serving in the RAF on several tours of Afghanistan, those servicemen are my family. Had things been a little different, I would have been standing shoulder to shoulder with my brother in the Royal Air Force, but Small Boy put paid to that, so instead I buy my poppy every year and visit the Cenotaph to pray for him when he is at war.

"Then I had you, darling, and you dashed all my career plans!" FFS
