Not everyone can be expected to be as forensic as we are, dear heart.
The fact this has been peer reviewed and is still littered with errors.
It's the fact that the author clearly knows that Jack's middle class through and through, yet continually lied about being working class, and just ... glosses over that, for me!
It's the fact that she sees Jack's infamous quote about not wearing tracksuits and watching Jeremy Kyle and goes, "Look, she's deconstructing societal myths about poverty!"
Just such a weird, nonsensical interpretation. It really feels like she started her research with a decision already made about what her findings would be, and twisted everything she came across to fit.
Oh dear. I got excited and thought it'd be a critique of the way Jack sets herself up as an anti-austerity campaigner, while also drawing on classist tropes to further her career, and thereby strengthening the media narratives around the 'feckless poor'.
No such luck! We need one of our resident academics (love to see them popping back for this
) to do that paper.

Reading a book about the Arab-Israeli conflict and Yasser Arafat don’t half sound like Our Jackie here

More joy
Ah didn’t think of that because it’s published article. Will
apols if the link wasn’t allowed, assumed it was due to it being published. I can’t remove it now.Guys sorry to be a party pooper but we shouldn’t openly trash her other stuff just cos she deigned to write a paper on Jack.
We also should avoid using / showing her full name and contact details - it doesn’t have to be a takedown of her. The last thing we need is her coming to the thread to defend herself
Still Insta, is the Twitter limit still there?!?
Who picks up blackberries with the palm of your hands? You get messy fingers at a push.And who brings a glass milk bottle out to collect blackberries? So impractical... they already look like theyre fermenting
What the duck is going on, she’s gonna struggle getting those out in one piece
Who the duck uses a milk bottle for collecting blackberries? 
JFC.
JFC.
looks like she seriously manhandled them to get them in the bottle. I guess having stolen the bottles you gotta use themView attachment 721339

LJC?Who the duck uses a milk bottle for collecting blackberries?
There not even ripe, they’re still red. I tried one round here and it was sour AF
She's collecting them in a milk bottle specifically to mirror the Plath poem, it's pathetic.
But the Sylvia Plath poem had a milk bottleView attachment 721339

Jack's £80 worth of Joseph + Joseph* tupperware sat in the draw as she picks out a milk bottle to store food.
*pure speculation m'lord but it's branded and overpriced so I wouldn't be surprised.
Totally impractical as it’ll be a bugger to get the blackberries out of the bottle. She’ll probably do something weirdy with them like bash them around with a twig.
