Amazing how her boy can’t remember the incident at school that led to him being excluded, but can remember starving as a toddler.
To be fair, she won't let him forget about "The Poverty" or as it's now known "The Destitution."

Sadly the but n Ben is ‘slightly’ outside of her chosen radius of Edinburgh apartment-rose st Sainsbury’s-dishoom

I find it absolutely mad that she's naming her son all of a sudden in newspapers left right and centre. What is the point of calling him SB for years online 'to protect him' and then calling him by name in several pointless, rehashed, dredging-up-the-past articles in papers at arguably the most critical point in his life where he will need privacy?

I just listened to the Telegraph podcast. Two things:

(a) Jack still sounds like she needs to give her nose a really good blow; and
(b) The interview was conducted by someone who is the "investigations editor" at the Telegraph. Let's just say that her credulousness belies that title somewhat.

Did you know, he was actually featured in her sainsbury's advert? She's never given a single F about protecting him.

Is it me or is she EVERYWHERE at the moment? I feel like I've read and listened to the origin story more times in the past week than in the entire time I'd been aware of her existence beforehand (and the latter wasn't exactly a small number either, considering the story's been retold more times than the Nativity).

Bit of a slow newsweek with lockdown still in action, I think ...

Christ almighty.
It's like she discovered cold fusion and got a Nobel prize for it. For years afterwards people are like 'oh Jack dear hart, tell us again about your gorgonzola monstrosity'

Except she didn't and no one fucking cares.

It's almost like she's contacted every possible outlet to ask if they want an article on her last breakdowns/how she once struggled to juggle work and childcare/how her son copes with a gay parent/what hand she wipes her arse with/ANYTHING please just print me there are dissenters on the Linda collab

This is unrelated to Jack, and I don't want to start a flame-war/off-topic discussion, but I find it a bit odd that 27k vegan uses Heinz vegan mayo, when they're a company who predominantly produces non-vegan products? If they boycotted Linda McCartney products over their use of Jack (for her views on low-welfare meat) then surely that view would cross over to other companies? I know it's a controversial topic in the vegan community, especially as it's great that brands are moving with the times a bit (vegan ranges etc... even though my cynical brain knows that's only because they'd lose a large amount of customers otherwise)...

Yeah, it's scraping around for positive PR. I feel sorry for her agent having to deal with this bullshit and another missed deadline. I bet they can't wait to get shot of her once the contract runs.

And never mentions anything at all to progress/spotlight the actual issues she professes to care about. It’s all just woe is me.

Time she scratched “campaigner” from her bio, honestly.

It's because the "Jackanory Life Story Directors Cut Definitive Edition With Super Special Extras, Deleted Scenes and Cast Interviews" is coming out soon. Available for pre-order from £1 bargain bins exclusive to MIddle of Lidl.

Was she with Allegra 5 years ago? Could SB have been at a ££ prep and sent home to calm down? Which to Jack becomes “suspended” and is a handy reason to move to a =/=££ school when they break up? Might be way off the mark but just wondering.

It's "just" a picture of him in the advert. Still doesn't sit right with me. Let's face it, she would never have got traction without the misty eyed rhetoric of Small Boy.

Still the same awful nasal voice.

@moosesauna I don’t find it odd. The Linda’s brand is based on her ethics, plus not all of their product is vegan, some is veggie.
Heinz is a big brand moving towards vegan, that’s a good thing. And it’s a different kettle of fish, they’re not saying we care about animals + eat factory farm meat.

Edit 100% vegan autocarrot fuck up

He is going to be so confused when one of his peers says to him “You were suspended in reception, haha!”

ETA: I suppose the small blessing on this story is that it’s something his Dad will know for 100% sure is bollocks, unless she tries to claim they wouldn’t inform SBs other parent.

The poverty things will be far murkier for SB to work out the truth behind if she starts claiming she hid it from his dad.

Your mum is a man is a standard kid insult if I remember right.
Did people even still say ****** 5 years ago? Why would you call Jack a ******?
