I tangentially had positive context of her as a cookbook author. Perhaps I should dig into the 5k works on the wiki
no, it was my own vanity google searching "sardine advent calendar"
Speaking of children and therapy I'm fairly sure as a child I would need it myself after
my mother completely wallowed after her pet of a few weeks had died. And took herself off on holiday all the while declaring things like she would never be happy again, the kitten had been her only source of joy and she had nothing to live for.
Will you be #kindlygifting her one tho
Many many moons ago, someone here said that they had no idea where any other celebrity “chef” lived. Not a clue. I think this sums up everything about our issue here. Her addiction is as much to social media and the internet as it is to substance. We, the people, don’t need her location details (even obliquely, such as the collecting tennis balls story - we aren’t stalkers but a real one would be at her door about two hours after that post). We don’t need her awful singing, we definitely don’t need saviour Jack monetising BLM posts and the sorry saga of the kitten. We don’t need gay/straight/gay/trans/gay/NB Jack hijacking an issue and podcasts and mainstream media articles, when other, genuine voices have no outlet.
To be fair, we don’t need her mangled recipes either but at least that was/is her “job” and plenty of people do seem to like her food content. Look at the crowd funder started yesterday.
Anyway - if she was drinking as much as she professes, then it would absolutely stink and be coming out of her pores. Her son may have mentioned in passing that she was not well or some such thing. It is 100% likely that any referral to social services has come from a close personal contact or from an educational setting.
The article is self serving nonsense. Her problems stem with her, not here. We didn’t make three fiancés leave. We didn’t make her rubbish at live presenting - as has been said, her pre-records are better so why torture yourself with Insta lives? We didn’t pretend to be working class and have a poor or deprived upbringing. We didn’t pretend to be a struggling single mum when the supportive father was very much there in the background all along.
I won’t beat myself up over her poor behaviour and excuse making. It’s been years in the making. I supported her with her food bank scheme and I tried her recipes along with (and still) supporting much of her political output. But I cannot support her real, unsanitised behaviour. I won’t excuse her taking money off vulnerable people with sympathy posts, when she has sock puppet accounts bemoaning Ocado deliveries after the M&S takeover. Or pretending to live off £20 a week whilst eating asparagus and posh cheese. I cannot agree with rocking up at the Tory party conference for any amount of money/expenses, joining a Tory think tank, then be deriding them with every given opportunity.
In short (because, let’s face it, we could all write three thousand word essays on this sort of nonsense) - there is way too much water under the bridge for one pity party article to make me sympathetic now. That ship has sailed.

One thing it seems Jack can do, at least, is write flowery bollocks for magazine articles. There's decent money in that to be honest.
Your advent calendar is a thing of beauty.
Props for admissions of vanity google searches: we’ve all been there.
I'm sure she's very smug and on a narc high at the moment with her article attacking us. But this could backfire spectacularly for her. Send people here for starters, and it will. And now thread #217 is turning into a beautifully explained condensed collection, of all her behaviours and lies. Which will remain permanently for all to see.
In future we can refer new members to the wiki and this thread!

tbh this thing was super easy to make: i've posted the PDF, the boxes I used, and the rest is buying sardines and packing tape. she can get to work like anybody elseWill you be #kindlygifting her one tho
Grunking, so not sure where this will land, but am very cross with Jack about this, it's a classic 'look at me doing a BIG THING' when it might actually be useful to signpost the route to a degree for people who don't have much in the way of formal qualifications to start. I love Kerry Hudson's memoir Lowborn for a lot of reasons, but not least because of the way it highlights the possibility of change through small steps. B Tecs are hardly ever mentioned in discussions about education, but they can be life changing / life saving. A lot of people will not be in the position of thinking that they could do a '5 year degree' - why not highlight the first step, the one you're actually on, because it could be seen as accessible?
ALSO: as the Trifle Defender pointed out at the time of that godawful New Statesman article, anyone who spends a lot of time on Twitter can't really complain about dreadful online bullying sites and the trolls who lurk there.
Thats the thing,
i know alcoholics cannot help lit but i hate to think of her son being surrounded by her drunk or pilled up all the time. It was really unfair to him.
I rarely drink when my kids are around and will only have a few glasses as i feel they dont need too see me drunk.
The report doesnt show any remorse for what she put the kid through it just says he was happy to have his mum back and bless him i bet he he was but she doesnt say, im sorry i was like this and wasnt there for him or something to that regard. That breaks my heart tbh!

Just been having a nosey into sardine twitter. No wonder Jack likes it there.
That is very grim indeed.
Da fuq is that?
You’re really not very aware of her body of work, are you?
Well, she’s got the sardines!
Completely OT (we need it sometimes, sorry Poca), but Miguel was making scrambled eggs yesterday and apparently his wife likes them undercooked. Hers looked like that.
Needless to say his son’s and his were “proper” scrambled eggs.
No tinned fish were opened in Miguel’s breakfast.
Will you be branching out other advent calendars in the future or just sardine ones?
I like the concept but unfortunately not a fan of fish. Sorry.
For any potential new members wondering why the saintly anti poverty slayer of the Hopkins dragon has 217 threads on Tattle, just check this thread because everyone is putting it perfectly!
