What she actually is, dear heart Shawads shawaddys, is a massive grifting 🛎🔚, and it's becoming more obvious to more people by the day, purely because of her own showy offy showing off. Hang in there babe and one day we shall all 🦉🍾 and say "we told you so"
Oh come that beautiful day 🥰 I am here for it 💘

Jack bringing in the offensive tropes about autism again :rolleyes:

Jesus, that offended me and I'm neither autistic nor easily offended. duck offfffff Jack.

Eta: bowiethesdmrs is autistic and is very into stats and such, but she's made that her career and as far as I can tell, her current role does not involve tweeting about monopoly and being a gigantic twunt

I really think she is missing the point of Monopoly.

It's a criticism of wealth hoarding (fun fact it was originally called The Landlord's Game) and Jack's tactic of 'just don't spend money' doesn't work because YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE HOW MUCH YOU SPEND. That's dictated by the other players as they buy up the squares and put properties down and your 'cost of living' on the board goes up with each turn. You quickly get to a point where landing on a single square eclipses whatever amount you earn on your first turn. You win by being lucky and being ruthless. No amount of 'frugality' or saving is going to make you successful at Monopoly. (I'm sure there's a parallel here...no amount of rinsed beans will get you out of poverty?)

TLDR Jack even plays board games like a Tory.

It's actually quite startling how much she's changed. I mean all her negative traits were there but they weren't as prominent and as you say she does look like she's enjoying her work. I suppose she didn't have the squigs to sponge off back then so had to be nice to people so she'd get work. I suspect getting away with that Kickstarter was the worst thing that could have happened.
It is a nice picture of Jack's the smile looks genuine.
But I think Jack was more likely to be enjoying the attention than the actual cooking.

Was this during the Allegra days? When Jack was living the life she thought she deserved.

If we upped the players to 4 who else would we like to see playing Monopoly with Martin Lewis and Jack? Maybe Kirstie Alsop and JKR could join?

I have never been more tempted to set up a Twitter sock and hand in my tattle membership , just to retweet that highly offensive autism tweet and tag in the national autism society etc to ask how they feel about such outdated stereotypes.

i like tattle too much though 😂

I can't think of any other "TV person" who goes on about what they're filming before they've even filmed it. It seems a bit unprofessional. Actually why am I surprised
I have also seen advertised a show called the chef's table where chef's talk about their real life struggles. Now if that show wasn't written for her then none will be. Honestly she can use her quivering voice to talk of the times of yore, when she was nothing but a husk of a street urchin.

I would love for this to happen! It will be amazing and if it does make money for shelter as I’m sure Martin will set things up properly then it would be a good thing

Shut up you silly twit. Food deserts are a thing and Waitrose actually has some really nice and cheap stuff. In fact, calling things essentials first is kind of trailblazing.

Wow! Credit where it's due- That's amazing work from 100% Success Rate Law Jack. Waitrose will be fizzing they wasted all that money on lawyers instead of going straight to the Southend hoop rinser for advice. Let's hope this significant intervention from Jack will save the word Essentials for the poors and Mr Waitrose will stop his nonsense.

Imagine claiming to be as poor as a church mouse in the same thread where you've literally just announced you're filming a TV series for which you will be doubtless paid handsomely. The gaslighting is whiplash-inducing.
And whilst, in that same thread where you claim to be worth no more than 3 figures, posting a picture of yourself wearing jewelry that has a 4 figure value...
