Jack's thirsty because when you keep spouting diarrhea you lose more fluid than you'd think (I know it's verbal diarrhea in her case, but still)

Most writers except really bad ones like Jack have their own voice and style. Jack seems to just decide she wants to sound all sensuous like Nigella and then tries and fails to write in that style. With Nigella's writing you're getting part of her personality, Jack is just bad cosplay who can't find her own style because she doesn't know who she is. She'd be better just writing and proofreading functional recipes that don't leave the reader wondering where the hell the hitherto unmentioned chickpeas came from.That Nigella piece. The gap between Jack’s writing and her speaking when interviewed is, erm, pretty big. Most writers are fairly articulate when speaking, even if their writing is more concise or beautiful etc, which makes sense as writing is their main skill. Or like with Nigella you can hear her voice when you’re reading her book. Whereas with Jack it’s more-
Recipe: flowery prose and gently, lovingly written as if Jack lives peripatetically in a previous century, with lots of commas and the soft inclusion of words, to which it’s just forensically possible she doesn’t quite understand the mendacious meaning of.
Interview: <something incoherent and quavering> then MY GRANDAD IS DEAD!
I'm honestly not sure. Though no doubt a certain smol pixie is encouraging her to take everything personally.
So I read Roadside’s thread. She says Charwells knew it was her hamper, her school etc early last week. But have been slating her behind her back. Not interested in change/feeding kids. At the end she reposts the Jack tweet with the private school letter.
Her grandmother is June Whitfield sure!
She must miss the days when her popularity was at its peak. That cheers me up a bit.
Thank you lovely Fraus for the continued hilarious commentary on this despicable human being. I lurk lots and often hoot up a lung in the dead of night whilst feeding a VSB. You all rock. X

The very first time I cringed at het writing was Self-love stew. Not sure if I didn't read her as much before, or if she then still sometimes had some (Allegra influenced) decent recipes/suggestions. (I also never liked her verbs for putting it adding things to a pot, e.g. popping or tipping, but assumed that was just me being a foreigner not appreciating the English language 
)
Now everything is like self-love stew or worse.

Roadsides thread ends with Jack
In other words Jack finally got someone to bite. She's been desperate to find another angle on it for her own self- aggrandisement since the issue broke and this is what she's come up with. That letter just looks like a bland "ooops sorry, now nothing to see here" PR job to placate any parents who might have complained. It's Jack that inferred it was gaslighting and written with the intent of discrediting Roadside Mum. No wonder the grown ups on the campaign want nothing to do with her. Bloody snake.
ETA: I'm assuming this nonsense has derailed the call Roadside was meant to have with Chartwells today.

Jack is an absolute snake 
she has absolutely stirred up discord there. She NEEDS the drama
Marcus Rashford & Tom Kerridge are doing the right thing by just ignoring her

Yep. It's very telling that today she has completely backed off the topic and is posting cattos and sleeping pics, leaving others to pick up the pieces of the chaos she instigated.Jack is an absolute snake

Jack gets paid and that's what matters.
I just feel so sorry for everyone she damages.
I was nosing around the Chartwells twitter account and they're still being sent pictures of food parcels of a poor standard. The problem is many of them haven't come from Chartwells but one of the other private suppliers who must be delighted to see their rival getting the blame for everything. I am surprised our FORENSIC pixie hasn't been exposing the other firms involved today because I know she cares passionately about this issue.
Honestly if the 5/10 days was the cause of the upset there are a million different ways to deal with that which are not this way!
I really don’t get the “they don’t care about kids” I really wouldn’t expect them to. I expect most corporate capitalist companies to generate profit and do a bit of pr on the side to make out like they care (and get a tax break) chuck out the old pride rainbow logo once a year...it’s all just marketing.
And this all stinks of #gifted fish and tinned fruit
Edit to add- alright @Switchstreetz shark eyes

Ah I hadn’t seen this, but it fits my theory. It sounds like on the original phone call Chartwells did explain to her it was a 5 day package and unacceptable so it’s coming across a bit like she’s chasing them expecting them to be hugely apologetic about a mistake her school made which I doubt will happen.
I’m not judging her for that as I can understand why she’s upset and why the letter felt like a dig, it must feel really crappy to have found out you’ve been misled after the tweet has gone completely viral - but it does seem a bit pointless which is why MSM didn’t pick it up. It would all be incredibly frustrating for her, especially with JM manipulating in the background.
She really is an unforgivable tit, isn't she?
Ooh shark eyes, youre doomed CL, quick send dogs and cats or a pic of you pretending to sleep( that of course you have set up yourself) that will divert it.
It shite I think Roadside Mum might have got a bit further with them today if she'd kept her powder dry instead of letting Jack wind her up. Jack is bloody toxic.
The woman was on top of the world that she had a voice of her own and Jack shouting about that private school letter on Twitter has humiliated her and made her feel lied to.
Hi interesting take from this squiggle- I have not fact checked
My partner is re-watching GOT and jack reminds me of little finger right now...... or should I say smol finger....
