I think the only thing that could make the last couple of days any worse would be a double dip weekend of Guardian/Observer articles.

Yel, quick question, did she ever get back to you with evidence of how Louisa Compton was hounded off the thread in spring 2020? I believe she promised to give you the info in a DM about 16 months ago.

Awaiting your reply with baited breath.
Nope. Still waiting. Maybe she's still working on it along with the vegan version of her chicken pineapple thing? I'm assuming that never showed up

Unfortunately for vegans she did that recipe.

Thereā€™s a whole other issue about the provision of GP services which she couldā€™ve picked up, but hasnā€™t. That is that GP surgeries tend to be run as companies which then provide their services to the NHS (and the NHS pays the GP company for these services). The GP surgery partners are therefore, in legal terms, private contractors. They donā€™t take a salary from the NHS (because theyā€™re not NHS employees), but instead take dividends/share of profits from the company - and surgery staff are employed by the company too. I assume company tax breaks will apply too.
Thereā€™s been a bit of controversy in London lately because some US-based companies have been buying up some GP surgeries. Which would rather suggest that there are profits to be creamed off (profits ultimately derived from money which has come from the NHS), because I doubt these US companies are doing this for philanthropic reasons. I do think this raises some questions.
(My own GP is one of those which was bought by a US company - although as it happens my surgery is fully open and doing face-to-face appointments as usual).

You couldn't write better satire than this šŸ˜†

That looks like a filling and complete meal, I guess vegans don't need any protein or substance šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Hm, I guess these people must have missed what 'empathetic' Jack did to that poor kitten then?
There's that quote about being able to judge a person's true character by the way they treat animals. I think it's so true.
Mr D agrees with that one. I maintain that I'm an utter knob with zero redeeming features. He reckons that the neverending trail of cats, dogs, horse, birds, bees, butterflies, concussed sparrows, blue tits and the like that cross my path and get looked after/spoiled rotten/rescued/etc prove that he is right about me being amazing.


He then spoils the effect by pointing out that this was the reason why he kept coming back. 'Why, because you thought I was a kind person underneath?' 'Nah, you kept on feeding me'. Git.

American Jack is 100% cursed audio. I can just imagine her trying to go for the accent full on but not quite having the confidence to commit so it turns into an awful blend of middle-class Essex with a vague cowboy tang mixed with street slang, complete with awkward hand gestures for emphasis. The thought of her actually saying 'y'all' out loud makes me cringe so much my intestines feel like they're on a wash cycle.

Has LJC got herself into a new relationship or something whatā€™s todays give me attention show about?
Does she not realise how bleeping dangerous it is basically tweeting out that GPs and their advice is useless? There could be someone thatā€™s plucked up the courage to ask for help, seen her tweets and changed their mind.
I have no words on how infuriating she is.
You basically just put into one sentence what I was trying to convey in my long ramble earlier. She is dangerous. Thank (space) you @Shesaidwhat? you are 100% right.

A private ADHD diagnosis is more like a grand.


Me. I've got them on speed dial.
I questioned the Ā£300. A friend paid Ā£1500 for her son's diagnosis. Because it's private, it's not 'officially' accepted, but it's allowed her to put measures in place for him, and thankfully his school is quite supportive too. He's thriving as a result, but she's put in loads of work to get him to that point and recognises her financial situation is different to many others.

Jack doesn't want to put in any effort full stop. Be it cooking, activism, TV work, her mental health. She just wants it. And life isn't like that. You have to put in the effort to get the proper result. I know a lot of GPs can be absolutely awful, but at the same time, if you're just expecting a tablet is going to fix you, than you're wrong too. They help, obviously, but you need to put some effort in as well if you truly want to change.

Living your life on Twitter isn't healthy, but it's certainly lucrative, isn't it Jack? Absolutely vile creature.

"a mouthful of arse" sounds even more horrid than a mouthful of ass. Unless jack is talking about a donkey/horse type of ass but that's a whole new rabbit hole šŸ“

What is the dr supposed to say? They Medicate in the hope it helps as they arenā€™t MH specialists. They suggest walks etcā€¦. But they arent qualified to go into specifics, hence the name ā€œgeneral practitionerā€

Dear Jack,

Please stop having your mental health crises in public. I'm saying this from the perspective of someone who has had severe mental health struggles myself (to the point of being hospitalised) so I do understand.

If you are at risk of harming yourself or are in mental health crisis then you phone your GP practice and get an emergency appointment. I completely understand secondary mental health services are overstretched but publicly having a crisis won't get you seen any quicker.

What did you want to accomplish with your thread? Guilt tripping people to send you money? Look, folks, I've traumatised myself so much rehashing the poverty for the sake of the poors that I am harming myself.

Actually, I have just had a thought. The people she knows in real life (parents, siblings, parents at her kid's school, neighbours, partner or ex partners etc) will also be reading this. It could have bad implications.

This is bleeping painful to watch.
