If she'd been describing some incident that couldn't be traced back to specific children, for example "I got off the bus early because a crowd of feral schoolchildren got on and starting wrecking the place" that'd be fair enough but people who lived in that house are able to read themselves being described as feral without any right of reply.

You can bet if Boris Johnson or someone else called foster children 'feral' they would rightly be hauled over the coals for it. Jack gets a free pass as the Guardian's go to 'wheel out the acceptable face of poverty' spokesperson.
God, I hate the slippery, disingenuous (as we know now, a direct synonym for "liar"), pass-ag way she ends her messages with "have a great day!" and "thanks!".
Such a bloody child.
Such a bloody child.
It's so annoying that she criticises other peoples' food! I've never, ever heard of her making a quesadilla despite the fact it would probably be right up in her niche (other than having texture and taste). THAT MAN made them on one of his most recent programmes, though.
Isn't it weird that she can afford cheese, cheese, more cheese, EXTRA cheese but can't afford butter?
So can't afford butter, but in a blink, advocates more cheese!

I actually tried the TikTok version and it was not dry at all.
shs is also on Instagram with the sporefilled rice
So glad she’s finally shared her opinion on the tortilla Tik Tok craze that’s been going round for weeks. Can’t to hear her views on the Harlem Shake and the Mannequin Challenge.

Corporate Instagram accounts? You mean like Linda McCartney? Del Monte? Yours? Pick one.
Maybe the weird sleeping photo was her entry for the Planking Challenge? it was popular in 2011 so seems about right on time for Jack to be catching up now
I'd be more than happy to help her out with the ice bucket challenge when she hits 2013.
Me, laughing along at the jokes about how outdated Jack's references are despite never having seen a quesadilla tiktok myself.
(Babe...same)
I got that reply re feral and also :
Regarding your other concerns about the choice of the interviewee, that is not something the readers' editor's office deals with - our job is to consider corrections and clarifications. That said, the head of features did read your anonymised concerns and acknowledged that Monroe is a person in the public eye about whom many people have strong and divided views. However, she said that didn't make her not worthy of interviewing and that the overwhelming feedback about the interview had been positive. If there is anything in particular within the article that you believe to be incorrect, please provide further details and we can look into it.
We have had a few other complaints about the same issue and will be sending a similar response to them too.

duck off Jack, you bitched about trifle and now you’re having a pop at other people’s creations.
Have a look at some of the stuff you’ve presented as ‘food’ before you tut at others.

I am hooting
Babe, same. I don’t even have Tik Tok. I thought it was some sort of dance app for kids until fairly recently.
May 2019. If only she'd stuck to her guns, we could have been spared her spaghetti hoop pasta e ceci, her halloumi carbonara, her butter sausage curry and now her hot take on quesadillas.

South Indian Inspired Egg Curry, 57p
This recipe is based on one I have eaten many times at a South Indian restaurant in my hometown of Southend on Sea. I have tweaked it a little, to simplify it, while trying to maintain the baseline…

I'm sure the cuisines of the world are so grateful for your circumspection.
Get in the fricking sea.
Maybe instead of such a pathetic response, having had a few other complaints about the same issue, they should get the person who said such a hateful word to apologise.
