I would be tempted but I'm terrified of confrontation and a whole band of FMs wrecking my book reviews and thus writing career...am positive this would actually happen!Has anyone ever left here to go over there and tell the truth of her lies and nonsense?
I've mentioned on the early days of these threads that I've had the misfortune of meeting Camilla Batmangelidgh many times.It might have already been mentioned in one of the other 200 threads but Jack reminds me, especially with the riot comment of Camila Batmengelidh who ran kids company. A history of lying including from disabilities to childhood to secret work without their name attached. Being the only person with the solution, wildly overstating their impact and asking for money for projects which don't seem to have the promised outcomes. Kids Co and Batmangeligh were also loved by people who wanted to show how much they cared without actually getting their hands dirty or looking too closely at what was being done but wanting to be seen as doing the right thing. Both making wild claims of riots and deaths if they don't get their money.
Kids Company did actually exist however despite dreadful management. Other people benefited from money, whereas Jack's projects are entirely meretricious. (Go Jackie, we know you love a big word. Use that one to describe the Price Index!)
You won't find much via Twitter searches because she deletes her entire history regularly. Last time was December 2020. From thousands to zero.So I searched her Twitter to see if she does this food price comparison exercise every year as she claims (sPoiLeR aLeRt! She hasn't.) It turned out a lot longer and more boring that I intended but I, unlike Jack, believe in showing my work so I am posting the evidence anyway. I apologise for length.
- Account: @BootstrapCook / Date Range: 5 years (unnecessary lol, there is so few tweets with these words I actually thought my Twitter was broken.) -
Word: INFLATION
April 30, 2021: “light-hearted tweet about inflation” (fruit salad thread)
Jan 16, 2021: price comparison tweet found! 2 pictures of garlic. Interestingly another accusation of ASDA price gouging…careful now, they have lawyers too.
Word: RISING
Nothing in relation. Ironically comes up in a bean dad thread with Jack replying in agreement to someone saying “feeding your child is not content” LOL.
Word: COST/S
Feb 13, 2021: piece in House Magazine. MACRO PHILANTHROPY ALERT! (What does this phrase even mean?!) Atrociously exaggerated naval gazing, 80% banging on about her pov but with added inexplicable pop at Sir Mo Farah. Calls herself unlucky rather than workshy and I lolled.
Jan 16, 2021: dead link to a piece on her website, think it’s potatoes.
Sep 25, 2021: used in reference to removal of £20 UC. Maize snacks. Picture of what £20 can buy but no comparison to what it could buy the year before….
Feb 26, 2021: “the total costs of all my tattoos combined is cheaper than a Mulberry handbang – got one of those with my first book royalties” HAHA she actually bought something for herself! A Mulberry bag is approx. £1000+. Wow she later on claims SB doodled on it and thats why she can't post a pic of it…
Word: PRICES
I’m very bored at this point. Lots of hits but no food price comparison tweets.
100% - perhaps if people used their real social accounts to call her out rather thanI don't think it helps when it's such a one-issue twitter account - it sadly does feed into her narrative that we are obsessive trolls. Even though the points may be valid and are ones which we discuss here, twitter doesn't exactly lend itself to nuance, so it's hard to make any inroads.

Jack in a nutshell: the same daytime TV she looks down on, she is more than willing to trouser appearance fees from. 'Brought up on benefits' - every child of her generation was entitled to non means tested child benefit, and I'm sure even back whenever there was additional local authority help for foster parents. Benefits absolutely should not be stigmatised by someone who supposedly has the best interests of 'the poor' at heart.BiB: this exactly. I've posted this before, but this quote from one of her early interviews is telling and probably closer to her actual, unfiltered views of the people she claims to dedicate her life's work to.

Exactly this.I try to keep track of the criticism on Twitter as well, and sadly there’s really not much (well not searchable anyway - for good reason). Sadly, the sick accounts can seem a bit deranged. They’re not going to convince anyone by telling them how much Jack spends on spoons. Maybe evidence of her begging, but it’s really really difficult to convince people they’ve been conned - far easier to con them in the first place.
Milk's a funny one - at my local supermarket (Morrisons) they have the Morrisons milk and then the more expensive 'for farmers' milk, where they say that a certain amount of the money spent goes to the farmers, so when I'm feeling flush I buy that, because I know a lot of the time the farmers are working for next to nothing. I've never looked into it much though, it suggests that the farmers aren't getting any of the money from the Morrisons milk, but that must be wrong.The prices are going up (my 4 pints of milk had gone up from £1.10 to £1.15) but it is not 300%.
Agree, but also look at the mental gymnastics of this fan, re taxI don't think it helps when it's such a one-issue twitter account - it sadly does feed into her narrative that we are obsessive trolls. Even though the points may be valid and are ones which we discuss here, twitter doesn't exactly lend itself to nuance, so it's hard to make any inroads.
I was just writing a reply quoting your comment it was brilliant and far more detailed thank you. That’s v similar to the worst of the shortages in the UK in 2021, there’s one core ingredient the big brands buy in and it failed safety testing meaning supply was paused. As soon as one supermarket run out you start looking elsewhere and buying what you can so all the rest run down their stocks quicker. It’s a horrible situation to be because as you point out - you can’t sub it for anything else. The idea of moving your young infant across to another type of milk is daunting as you don’t want them dropping weight or suffering in any way. It’s a bizarre lie to tell but she also tells horrifically anxiety inducing tales of cold babies which is unforgivable with a multi millionaire father around the corner.Snap @heretoreaditall2019 I should really comment after grunking.
Jack is disgusting, she did not have anything to say about lorry drivers and other crisises. 'I'm alright Jack' is her mentality, screw everything else as long as she has got what she wants.

She was terrifying to be around.@MooBelle
I always thought there was something 'off' about CB. No surprise that her degree was in Drama. Same smug expression. Dupers Delight.
