So it's never just a selfless tweet reminding people they can donate to TT* via method x y z, they always need the support, now more than ever etc. There's always something in it for her attached, ulterior motive(s). Very charitable indeed.

*Other charities are available.

I genuinely don’t see how this could be classed as libel. She promoted it. Has got her followers supporting her even more and attempting to increase the potential amount she gets paid.

accusations
-probably earns more than prime minister. No one knows as she doesn’t do her business taxes
- takes from poor people. Plenty of receipts to show people who say they are skint donate

I’m sure George useless is sitting smoking a cigar that he didn’t get the promised blog post!

I told someone today (alright, stop asking me, it’s my OH) that she claims to be working class despite having a Seamaster watch for her 18/21st. He said, ‘Surely anyone with one of those is from a rich family?’ YES??!?!!!? That’s literally what we’ve been saying for 303 effing threads. That’s all it took, a mention of THAT watch. How are there so many nubbins who can’t use Google (but can use Twitter?!)? These threads have taught me a lot but one thing I’m genuinely better at is critical thinking. People spewing the same slogans over and over ‘I rent/I’m working class/I need a forever home/my rent bounces/no butter/£34 in the bank’ just won’t cut it anymore. I don’t believe anyone anymore without some proof and I’m much happier for it.

And one of the reason I really enjoy this thread is the views from all side being discussed amicably - it’s really broadened my understanding. Rather than this two sides fight which is what this libel thing is all about
Critical Thinking is a skill that seems to have been lost somewhere along the way. I’m a naturally deeply cynical and suspicious person, so that helps. When the welcome speech at University consisted of the opening line “You must question everything” I knew I’d picked the correct course

I think the North have a really raw deal on things like this, as Scotland at least have devolution and more powers allowing things like the child payment in addition to child benefit to lower income families or free travel for kids.

All the headlines focus constantly on London, projects to help poverty are designed based on the situation there (eg - we get nationally distributed things referencing that kids travel free on buses - this is only true for under 5s here) and the lions share of all funding goes to London and the south. It was especially evident over COVID when various (generally very working class) areas were locked down for much longer than London with no extra funding yet as soon as London was approaching that the government went "Well we can't hurt businesses, we'll do this this and this." There is a massive, massive disparity and Jack is blissfully unaware of this.

just to query, I think someone said that anyone can go in and amend the wiki. Do we have it backed up/archived in case a sneaky smol pixie was to try to delete it @Yel @Pocahontas ?
I just looked and went into 'edit' so it looks like anyone can. However, there is a record of last edit, who edited it and what the edit was so I'm guessing this means the previous version can be restored if there is a chaos (malicious or not)?

Don’t forget to add that Jack only donated the Teemill money after a journalist started investigating her! And she wasn’t actually transparent, we saw the end amount donated, but not how much had actually been raised.
Good point, thank you, I’ve added that too!

You should see the shite Nicola gets tweeted. At one point on twitter there was a twitter account dedicated to the hate and the lies and the death threats she gets. I’m not suggesting for a minute that anyone should ignore death threats but Jack said last week that she gets rape and death threats every day yet she’s focusing on someone saying she earns more than the PM?

She is a compulsive liar and I don’t believe a single word that comes out of her mouth

I wonder which of her many sock accounts she's beavering away on tonight?

FYI - that's another thing that will come out if this gets to court, Jack

England is basically London and that’s it. I’d rather like to bring the Scottish border right down, I mean, may as well, with the attitude that’s taken

I'm 5'3" now, both my sister and my daughter are around 5'1". It is noticeable how many younger women are quite tall now.

Nothing actually happened, a woman was holding her hand in the playground walking towards the gate. I highly doubt a kid would understand that or be traumatised.
Thanks so much for clarifying, I just figured it was a straight up lie. I can see she’s exaggerated it but it is maybe a case of a lucky escape which is still dreadful situation to have happened and could have ended up a lot worse .I’ll be more mindful of checking things before I post.

Hopefully Elon hurries up and buys the hellsite and I’m sure he will happily link all sock accounts in the interest of free speech or something

How many of us have had these conversations over this weekend it’s like jollof rice the 344% all over again!

Also used the watch and said it’s published in her first book so she’s told on herself there. Explained everything on tattle has solid evidence behind it so this court case will only generate a podcast running through it all. Husband can’t understand why there isn’t already a podcast, tbh me neither?! The hello fresh and square space ads would be so apt as Jack needs desperate help both cooking solids and maintaining a website.

I don't have sm apart from here.

It's the attention seekers dream.

I have a mate who has two separate accounts and she uses one to like other stuff on her other account.

The thing that always kills me is her profile pics from both accounts are practically the same and of her... I find it so weird and if she doesn't get enough love she writes posts asking people to like her stuff. My other mate sees her at it all the time. I find it so odd.
