I don't think she ever had anorexia. There are too many holes, as always - in one version of events, she walked a 14-mile roundtrip to school because she had an ED and was overexercising, in another she did it to save her bus money to buy coronation chicken.

She likes to sad fish about having an ED, but there's always something inauthentic there. I was bulimic and it took me fucking DECADES to recover, reading a Nigella Lawson book didn't magically cure me so yeah, sensitive here too.

Knew they would say that it was reporting what Jack said.
This is the kind of thing that would enrage adopted/fostered children’s rights advocates
She should apologise
I haven't had a reply but will challenge it if a similar one comes my way.
Just popping in to say I haven't replied to it but will plan on doing so.
Also - insert big red alarming triangle (or essential fancy wooden one) but my line of work is actually in upholding rights and voices including those of children so I'll certainly be bringing that into future correspondence.

OT: but I had a thought the other night that the cabal are some of the people I would most like to sit around a table with, and unless we really do end up in court, it will never happen and sometimes it makes me wistful. You're all so insightful and everyones experiences e.g @colouredlines and her time in SA and all the other countless heartfelt responses just make me *feel* things. Not in a pants way, but in a unified way. Also, one of the few places were people can have differing opinions without all hell breaking loose and I really respect that.

She tweets 75 thousand times a day. Ages the hands.

My favourite moment was @TheDragonWithAFlagon suggesting Jack grow a herb garden

And then the speculation over which ex Tattler Mrs J was.

I think part of it is genuinely her arthritis, but it’s not at all improved by whatever filter/editing she uses to make her food look “good”, but would make anyone’s hands look odd - and the dirty nails just

I wonder if Brexit tin thief Louisa Compton from channel 4 news really was on Tattle or if she just said it to shut up Jack who was banging on about the ninnies. “Yes Jack I went there and said some really good things about you but they banned me and deleted the receipts so you won’t see it”

Is it bad that I saw that one of my daughters has decorated her son's bedroom and I thought of you?
(I have no idea what your teeth look like, rest assured, dear heart).
Also, when Ms. Monroe was talking about looking at corporate pages on Instagram etc etc, has she cast her shark eyes over the Linda McCartney one recently, only 62 comments and most of them are scathing. Lots of squiggles joining the dots.

It's the Oliver Twist 'please sir, can I have some more?' vibe that does it for me. It's such an unnatural way to hold a bowl. I've honestly never seen anyone hold a bowl or plate in that way and I've seen some sights.

I’ve got my emergency questions™️ ready if she ever comes back. I wish I’d been here but I think I would die of second hand embarrassment- I can hardly watch the YouTube singing.

She claims EDS and the appearance of her particular hands would support that

You’re going to ask her whether she wants a hand made of ham or an armpit which dispenses sun cream?

I hope someday the cabal can have a meetup, whether on an assigned bench by the sea, in our second home of Edinburgh, picking lemons in a Cypriot grove, or in the Groucho craning our necks at Redcar. Someday!

@discokebab thank you. I think the “feral” label was emotive because in the context of the information it was “blaming” the child for behaviours which are known to be related to either neglect or disability.
It is not the child’s fault if they have not been previously adequately cared for. That does not make them a hilarious oddity.

I’m now reminded of a customer in a restaurant I used to work in years ago coming in with business cards with her list of food allergies one day (which isn’t the worst thing), however when she ordered a lamb dish once we then served it without the sauce as it contained peppers and paprika and she got really huffy about it as she seemed to forget previously giving us the card which made me think some of the allergies were self diagnosed.

I'm keen to find out if Caroline (who has hands) is actually the Broccoli Casserole thief who is friends with Doris.

I wonder if you served one of my former colleagues. Made a big fuss about going to a particular Indian because it was trusted for nut free as she had a peanut allergy, which was fair enough until someone from her department told us all she frequently sat at her desk eating a snickers(!).

I refuse to meet anywhere less clean and organised than the home of @MancBee
