Haven’t caught up so sorry if this has been posted but some squig has suggested buying a photograph of some soaked beans. Give me strength.
Such bullshit arselicking.
Being one of her faithful squigs / jackolites must be like being a royalist or a fan of the Tories (or the church but I'm going to try and play it safe here).
At first your love bordering on obsession seems quite harmless, they are much loved by many and saying you don't like them is akin to kicking a dog or saying all babies are ugly.
as time goes by you see them do a few heinous things, have affairs, misappropriate funds, have some questionable connections, but it's all quite easily excused 'they do such good for the country/ tourism/ The Poors®' or 'they're under so much pressure, you try doing their job and not having an off day' 'theyre born to this they didn't choose it, it's not their fault'.
Eventually theyre caught out doing things so shocking and vile that to defend them paints you the same colour as them.
This is the point where no matter how much you once loved them, you should throw in the towel, admit you were wrong.
(I have personal experience of reaching this stage with much loved icons such as : my parents, John Lennon, god, David Bowie, and many other music legends of my youth)
At this stage you may even consider educating others about what you have learned in order to help others avoid falling into the same trap (see The Tinder Swindler and other such sensational exposés)
If you have been hurt by them in any way you might look down the legal route, especially in terms of assault, fraud and general all round nasty behaviour.
If you continue to fight their corner, defend them, attack others for acknowledging their bad behaviour then you either become complicit in their wrongdoing or you have been conned or brainwashed.
I'm thinking sunk costs fallacy for her squigs, at some point they have likely funded her in some way or promoted her and any naysaying about jack reflects poorly on them, but they still have a chance to change, come out relatively unscathed and informed enough that they can support others to see the (gas)light.
Have been chuckling about that abomination of a dinner she produced earlier, the mistaken identity of the decanted beans and the 'white fish' , the fish so called because it has come from the mega freezer of donated fish and she has not labelled it as she once claimed, and has absolutely no idea what fish it is.
I love that she argues to the death every single point that people raise, the squig telling her right name for the beans after her original claim she didn't know what beans she had soaked and her insistence that the name was on the bag all along killed me.
Plus all her Billy Big Balls response about the cooking times, different answer to each squig depending on what they said first 'overnight, yeah for thirty minutes or 12 anyway
duck off I'm having a bluesy bit and can't move my arms look at this sheet of A4 where I've handwritten the recipe for this horrendous meal which I shall reheat later'.
As an activist she does nothing positive or productive to promote the understanding of invisible illnesses/ disabilities/ neurodiversity / addiction / mental health. I'm surprised she isn't lobbied by more people to use her platform to effectively raise awareness of all the conditions she has.
