Someone asked in an earlier thread about Jacks blunders popping in your head at random times.......well everytime my autistic kids now tell me they've brushed their teeth when I know damn well they haven't I have to laugh at their inability to lie! !

She knows she's due to inherit property, she doesn't give a toss about saving for a mortgage. It would be bad for her "brand" to buy, unless it was the type of starter home most first time buyers are happy to settle for. Obviously that wouldn't do for her Maj.
Her parents are relatively young, there's no indication the inheritance will be forthcoming anytime soon

Why feel smug at making what looks like cauliflower with dirt still attached? Strange squigs
That looks rancid. She could have made cauliflower pakora or a cauliflower curry but thats like an object you need to identify as in what the actual duck is that.

I've just watched a lawyer react to the Depp/Heard defamation case (as Amber said it was difficult to prove on work not yet received or something) and thought it would be useful to keep track of things that have still happened despite the alleged libel:

No loss of an award for campaigner of the year
An increase in twitter followers in the thousands
Increase in Patreons
A planned Think in talk went ahead
No loss of a BBC interview at a local Foodbank (as well as a congratulatory tweet from that FB)
No known loss of blue ticker support
No loss of support from the ONS for the Vimes Boot Index

What she has stated is:

She turns down 97% of TV work due to shyness
She is an Industry WhatsApp chat that alleges to contain spicy chat about another well known Chef

I’d be genuinely embarrassed to have such smug, patronising, self righteous dickheads defending me. I guess it suits though. I don’t think I can read anymore, it’s so depressing that she just keeps getting away with being so so vile.

It’s a terrible financial strategy to assume you’ll inherit. Her parents are what, early 60s? Nowadays they could live another 30 years. That would mean Jack would almost be a pensioner herself before she gets her orangery. And that’s if there’s anything left after care costs and taxes. Or they don’t leave a massive duck you in the will and leave it all to her brother/the local cats home.

Of course, there’s always the possibility her dad would help with a house while alive. But I get the sense her family are pretty sick of her tit. And if they were going to do that, it probably would have been when SB was small.
Maybe they've put something in a trust for SB. I bet Jack could find it within her to be jealous of her own child. I'd also bet she definitely will inherit one day. Or maybe her Pa is as "tax efficient" as she is and has promised to gift Jack a house at some point. OMG.....maybe Jack is already a landlord!!!!

Pure flight of fancy there, m'lud!

Haven't properly grunked yet and misread this and thought "Why is Paxman getting involved?" Now I think about it: just the one interview! Please!

I have only made it through half of the Tortoise interview. The cringe is strong! 😂
I guess I feel a bit weird about the whole class discussion! My dad went to grammar school and then university, but in the 70s when apparently only the top percent of the country went because it was paid through grants. He worked his way up in his industry and was earning about 100K by the time he retired. My mum was a nurse like Jack’s mum. We didn’t live a flash life by any means though! He saved a lot of money so he can help my brother and I if we need it and doesn’t have to worry about money himself. No property portfolio though! Even though I don’t like asking for anything. But he worked 12 to 14 hour days and has never been a nurturing parent so money is not everything.
Back on topic! I like Jamie Oliver especially as he annoys Jack! 😂 I do think that he needs to read the room though. Is childhood obesity a huge issue when people don’t have enough money to heat their homes and eat?
I can’t work out if Jack is getting found out or not. The sycophants will defend her no matter what evidence the enlightened have.
No-one should feel bad about whichever class they happen to be born into. I whole heartedly agree with a wise Frau who said earlier that Jack's pov play is taking space from actual working class women, who are indeed some of the most marginalised voices in the country. And as a genuine povva, I find her performance of "working class" ludicrous and offensive. I wouldn't care if she said she was middle class and wished to use her experience and privilege her help others, even if her efforts were misguided and sloppy. But no, she's the poorest of the poor, and poors don't mind eating tit, apparently.

Edited for sloppy spells

Can you imagine Jack being your landlord?! Boiler goes, you make her aware, and just get her whining that she's only one person with £34 in the bank 😂. I'd sooner camp out in the park.

Doing a bit of a Twitter grunk
1. Wonder why this fair point got no response from someone who used to have a wheelchair in their Twitter bio?

Why? We’ll never see a recipe for this.

Although perhaps not seeing the recipe will be our Christmas gift from ole Santa Jack!

(and please stop with “riff on…” just sets my teeth on edge)

There’s nothing wrong with being middle-class, and it doesn’t invalidate hard work. There are also many middle class people on this thread.

Jack gets criticised because despite being thoroughly, unequivocally middle class in every possible way, she fakes being working class, uses it as part of her grift, makes a mockery of poverty and talks over and in place of actual working class or impoverished people. She can also barely conceal her and her family’s snobbery, she’s like a comedy caricature of a middle class person.

I feel like there should be a section in the wiki for Spicy libel observations. Like to make the judge’s job easier.
