How does she square the ‘it had a roof’ bollocks with the swanning around in Mum’s Landrover Discovery, Plymouth and Geese in a beautiful garden?

I can picture jack sliding into RM’s dm’s last week. Telling her how terrible it is in the public eye etc while snarfling up all the interviews like a greedy goblin....... for transparency I would like to see the fee and subsequent donation to charity.
Anything donated to charity - she will have written her name on each banknote :ROFLMAO:

I don't know lads, I think the email from Peter was real because you can't possibly fake emails.

Now that we've got that established, here's a lovely email I received from Jack herself:

“Back when food poverty was relatively niche”.
WTF is that supposed to mean?
Food poverty has always been with us in some form. This quote from a squiggle suggests it was some kind of novelty interest. So I think we can assume this squiggle has never actually experienced it.
That person has never read Dickens then?

I was into poverty before it was cool. 😎

'We had a house, it had a roof' reminds me of what someone was saying a while ago about middle-class celebs (I think Emilia Clarke was the example) where their go-to line was 'I/we didn't have much growing up' because they're surrounded by people who have more expensive material goods and assets than they do. I bet this is the case for Jack. From what you can read online, you can deduce without much effort that Jack isn't from a working-class background. It's insulting to people who genuinely do come from those backgrounds. I would say that the upbringing my parents have provided me and my sibling with isn't too dissimilar from Jack's, although my parents do both come from WC backgrounds. They'd be absolutely mortified and, to go even further, furious if I started spouting off in the press about 'not growing up with much' because that isn't my truth.

Oh this is excellent. I'd thought it was just so she could do her pious thing, but what you're saying makes a lot of sense.
I work in a church school

She's a couple of years too late is she wants a faith place, we require parents to be regular attenders for a few years now, plus haven't applicators already gone in for next year?

Nb. We also have foundation places, and I only work there, I don't make the rules of how kids get places

Famines? In ancient times? Didn't they live near an Asda?

Meat reducer? You just made that up, didn't you...at the Linda's? Actually, probably accurate for JM. It's exactly what she'd do to some cheap, indescribable meat product - broil it into submission then sieve and simmer until it resembles nothing more than pond slime. :sick: Come on, that sounds familiar!

That quote was from Zoe Williams!

How very dare you, it was a NAVY BLUE Landrover Discovery! Oh Jack, come back on here for 5, just 5 minutes.

Greetings from the past (Wednesday). Trying to do an epic grunk and suddenly no attachments so I’ve no idea of the context of what you wonderful lot are all commenting on. I hope they’ve fixed it now as it’s no fun at all without screenshots of the chaos.

I’m recovering from Covid so these threads have really helped entertain me through the headaches. (Main symptom and not nice at all)

I may have to just forgo the thread I was on and jump into the present. :)
Edited to add: I don’t really want to as I’ll get massive FOMO. I also thought her Cain Dingle from the 90s in double denim look on BBC was a complete hoot
