Has nobody else on the Internet noticed her tirade of abuse about Jamie Oliver? She’s like some bitter ex or something - she can’t keep any goodwill up for long, and turns back to nasty abuse when riled. Whatever anyone thinks of Jamie, he’s done more for the vulnerable of this country in terms of food and eating habits, than she keeps pretending to have done. He’s made a tonne of money, but he has managed to consistently campaign for change to the way people supply, eat, and grow food for years without making himself into a sad little victim. That’s why Jack is so incredibly bitter, because he’s done more, and he seems to actually be happy.

Only Pans has a basis: a sleb chef offers a video call where you cook along with them. Wouldn't work for Jack, as she would rarely turn up and if she did there would be salmonella from raw chicken. I use sleb to mean anyone remotely famous on Twitter or Insta.

Valentine's Day card: my guess it was from SB or her dad. I'll.sound judgemental, but I don't believe you should send them to family. It's creepy to me.

And HTRIA, I look forward to the update in March. The grift is real. Also, great interview on Colin Murray pod with the hubby!

Good gravy, that recipe is horrifying. Does this person not have functioning taste buds???

(Hi! I’m new here!)
Hi and hello! What brought you here? We always like to know when the scales from all the fish fell from peoples eyes regarding our smol pixie...

AND his recipes taste nice.... even if they don't take 15 minutes, there's no rinsing of tinned meats or beans...

Would Jack not have been paid for her Mirror guest column bit?

Also; she really has pissed away all that sub and interview money already. She's a disgrace.

Thing is, squig, she makes a living. A very good one, at that, for doing the very occasional bit of work and spending the rest of her time leeching off the followers she dupes into believing she's working 80 hour unpaid working weeks. She earns more through Patreon alone than many people get for doing full time jobs, gives her donors nothing in return, lives a life of luxury yet somehow can't pay her rent. Can you honestly say this adds up at all?

But I'm not sure why I'm bothering to explain, considering you're a trainee grifter who's desperate for their own thread on here and is probably hoping the Panhandler Queen throws you a bone at some point.

At least there's always someone who sees through the grift:

Also have to share these, because she's pissed me off with her Friday night beg and I'm feeling petty:

Is there anything more to Jack’s hatred of JO than him getting the C4 lockdown cooking show? It seems odd how she fawns over the overtly posho Nigella, who as far as I know hasn’t been involved in any kind of food campaigning, yet hates Jamie, whose background is much closer to hers and who has actually achieved some good.

Yes!!! I usually hope Jack doesn’t read here, for her own sake, but I really hope she reads this. There’s no disputing anything you‘ve said, and you would hope it would make her rethink some things. Unfortunately that would only be the alternative universe Jack.

Without wanting to go too off topic, I 100% agree about how people who do caring and manual work deserve so much more. The lack of respect and recognition alone is so wrong. I wish Jack would think about people in those roles next time she says “tweeting doesn’t pay the bills”

Ooh I am very, very tempted!

I think she appeared on his YouTube channel once and was never asked back because his whole thing is trying to get ordinary people cooking decent food and she's a baw hair off frying her own shit.

Why does she harp on about the totally free recipes on her defunct website? The Internet is full of websites with free recipes. I follow some fab Instagram accounts with tons of free recipes. If you look closely on some websites you find there is a way of contributing if you want but the people aren't shouting about it.

I don't think it's just the lockdown show, I think it's jealousy all round. She doesn't like seeing others campaign successfully, which is why she never supports others' campaigns in any way, even when they align with her supposed causes. She hates the fact that he's male, successful and now more well off than she'll ever be. He left school with less GCSEs than Jack did but has done 1000 times better. She hates seeing others do well basically.

These threads deterred her more blatant poverty display and lies for a while but it seems that she is now back to thinking that she is invincible and unaccountable. All the blatant lies - the £34 in the account, having to wear boots that are falling apart, the arthirtis stuff- and the begging and scamming is back on full display and now she's confident enough to take aim at JO again. Which is where these threads all started. Bit depressing but hey, maybe we'll get another DKL out of it for the laughs

Just went on their site to check out the data module(s) and there doesn’t appear to be a dedicated module on it?? Which is a shame but not surprising seeing as no journo can even use Google or companies house beta. Maybe Louisa could make use of the Patreon tracking script/database/analysis for her lil course x

I do wonder if all the idiots who fawn over her are people who have ...no one in their lives to love, so they give attention to Jack. That makes the begging even worse. Her "fans" are vulnerable arseholes
