Considering that the Pratchett estate went in hard on small independent yarn companies using Discworld colour names (while donating a percentage to Alzheimer's charities) I sincerely hope it will do the same to JackI know Rhianna Pratchett has retweeted her, but isn't she going to hit some serious legal problems with the Pratchett estate if she continues to call it the Vimes Boots Index?
I have no idea who toothpaste man is but 'but Thankyou for your kind heart' is driving me towards opening a bottle of whisky.
I’m afraid they can, it’s an opinion piece the bar is very, very low for fact checking op-ed. As the Graun thinks itself above moderation by its peers it chooses to moderate itself. There is nothing more dangerous than a self moderating press.They still can’t publish lies- the first paragraph may be her opinion but there is other stuff that is not true.
Yes I agree. It’ll all be spun as PTSD/alcoholism meant I couldn’t do it etc.I dunno guys, I think at this point if it came to mass attention about her unpaid taxes, the idiot squigs would have a go fund her set up and donations rolling in within seconds.
We are not the fake newsCan’t believe I’ve just had to have a conversation with what’s essentially a JOB induced squiggle - and even worse we’re married.
I said don’t you think if that (the savings comment) was true we’d be fucking hemmorhaging money? Don’t you think we’d have noticed?! And he said no because we can afford it it’s worse for poor people - like this shit is insane? Jack is creating this idea that you’ve got poor poor Dickensian urchins of people or billionaires, *everyone* has a finite amount of cash that price fluctuations eat into??? Every budget is harmed by inflation, obviously it’s worse when it’s heating or eating and not heating or a city break but nevertheless this isn’t some conspiracy as she pushes!!
I also asked the price of some household goods and he told me what I assume was the 1999 prices of them - so in the nicest way this is someone who can’t even do a fag packet fact check re: the 344%.
I said look it’s okay if you agree with her but please do the research eg King Chris, academic peer reviewed research and he goes “oh I’m not reading all that”. This is who Jack’s content is for - lazy but well intentioned liberals who don’t get it but desperately wish they did. And Jack’s spreading misinformation to them!!!
I honestly don’t know what to do with the de-programming, I feel like an anti vaxxer? Like are we insane?!!! This is so clearly bollocks she’s not substantiated ANY of these claims, how has this been given the legs it has?!?!?!
So it wouldn’t be worth me doing a forensic FOI to track them all down? I’d be happy to but I know they are a massive pain in the arse.Ha, it used to be Mr Terrible’s job to commission government reports - I once asked him if they’d commission a cookbook writer with three and a half O levels. He looked at me like I were a bit simple.
Anyone remember that report she reckons she was part of, that strangely had her name omitted?
I’m looking forward to this report. It’ll be out of date (if it ever was in) the very minute it’s finished.
So true - she’s elated because she thought MR had finished her for-profit activism & this is a second chance. But one viral thread maketh a living not, the next few weeks/months of content is going to be like when a real housewife launches a skincare or wine brand…... If it gets beyond Monday in the media I’ll be unpleasantly surprised
He doesn’t exist.

I think it's because it's in the Observer rather than the Guardian, the Obs never seems to allow comments.It's always infuriating when an opinion piece is published with no right of reply below the line. Seems in poor spirit.
Agreed. It's so subtle too, it's her biggest talent - on a funnier note though, she considers herself *the sharpest* of economists and mathematicians... Bloody hell, she genuinely believes that she is an authority on economics. Her ego really does know no bounds...See how she uses the words to not only place herself in the middle of everything but also reinforce that she’s ‘one of the poors’. Utter charlatan.

Maybe people will care enough to @ her on twitter.It's always infuriating when an opinion piece is published with no right of reply below the line. Seems in poor spirit.
Everything she ever does seems to have no area for any feedback. Magazine articles, podcasts, social media posts with comments turned off. She can't hack an actual back and forth conversation and neither can her doting squigs!It's always infuriating when an opinion piece is published with no right of reply below the line. Seems in poor spirit.
