It's horrible in the article I've linked below where Jack states 'I should really stop allowing myself to be so vulnerable' after being sexually assaulted multiple times - it reeks of victim blamingFreaky Friday (Sali Hughes played a blinder there)
On discovering educated discourse on her thread, I then noticed another Guardian contributor in the form of Jack. I had previously tried a recipe of hers, and it didn’t work despite my bean rinsing.
One of the main flags for me though was that god awful and quite frankly irresponsible article the guardian printed regarding how fabulous she felt after one weeks sobriety, a few years back. As someone who does struggle with alcohol, it was confusing. I now see it for what it is, thanks to Tattle. Others will still take her on face value
The fact she continues to be given platforms to spout her nonsense, really pisses me off.
However, I do love to read about it on here
I remember @Begborrowsteal telling her to go away as she was making a show of herselfI remember it at the time, it was the “gotcha” moment not hitting the mark at all for meand no one popping up to go “leave Jack alone actually!”
Every time I read that article, I find some sentence that makes me despise her that little bit more. Everything in it is just a bit too overwrought, reminds one a little bit too much of a scene in a film or a book, feels just a bit too constructed.It's horrible in the article I've linked below where Jack states 'I should really stop allowing myself to be so vulnerable' after being sexually assaulted multiple times - it reeks of victim blaming

ETA oh my Vienetta fascinator really suits me, if I do say so myself! Happy thread 300, everyone.
Thanks Hela, this is the article that caught my attention. I couldn’t find it a couple of threads ago and I was wondering if I’d been in a fugue state and imagined her saying she’d been assaulted by male journalists plural.It's horrible in the article I've linked below where Jack states 'I should really stop allowing myself to be so vulnerable' after being sexually assaulted multiple times - it reeks of victim blaming

Yes. This is partly how I came to realise she is a fraud, all her “autobiographical” writings are just wrong: a little bit too turned up, camp, telenovela. In writing parlance, she’s making the Creative Writing 101 mistake of using the wrong POV: rather than writing from her own POV, she’s writing through the POV of an audience watching her through a camera lens. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.Every time I read that article, I find some sentence that makes me despise her that little bit more.

Sorry to all those fraus that struggle with issues relating to this. Sorry to all those fraus who don’t have a local shop owner who has nodded understandingly and prevented them from buying certain items.
She really has no shame.
As an alkie in recovery, I can also say it’s bullshit. When you’re in relapse you’re gonna buy the bottle. You’re not gonna fuck up your chances of a drunk by presenting the server with a bit of paper telling them not to serve you.Perhaps it’s just mean of me, but I just don‘t believe her about the note in the passport thing. I just don‘t think she’d be ID’d, covered in tats Etc. And if you really wanted a drink, you just wouldn’t use a passport with a note in it saying you’re an alcoholic. Besides, there’ll be another shop on the same road most likely, so this strategy just wouldn’t work. On the other hand, it is very attention seeking behavior, so maybe she did really do it.
ahahahaaaaa you’re on the ball this morning yes!!The pov POV?
Is this a euphemism?Bet she puts on her best weekend socks though...
This made me genuinely hoot, fizz and howl because I used to make that condensed soup pasta sauce when I was a student (I think it was in a student cookbook we all had in the early 90s). And Jack didn't realize it has to be condensed soup! This made my day.I've been celebrating 300 today by having a little nosy through tin can cook. I am a library frau so I do not have to buy it. I even refuse to borrow it officially. And by the way in very very many years of being a library frau I can count the times on one hand I've seen any of Jack's books on the return trolley.
Anyway I was reading this little delight where she waters down a tin of mushroom soup with 2 of water and I suddenly realised she did not know her mum used Campbells condensed soup. Oh my god can you imagine the flavour of that monstrosity swimming in 2 cans of water?
Completed it mate. I mean, Jack’s already claimed PTSD from the Pov pov. In fact she wrote a particularly nasty piece in which she equated herself with a victim of CSA in a police interview.If (and it is a big if) Jack’s book of political essays is ever published I can see her going full Laurie Penny and claiming PTSD when the reviews are less than the glowing endorsements across the board that she’ll be expecting.
I don’t get that? Can a clever Frau explain it?

I had to get viennetta to recover from the thought.
