I reckon he will just ignore her, like he did during the DKL pile on. His SM is very well run (I expect he has staff to do it for him) and he doesn’t get drawn into petty squabbles. He is very professional about protecting his brand.
Also, to put it into perspective, Jamie has 9 million followers on IG and just over 6 million on Twitter. Why on earth would he bother with a minnow like Jack.

She is dreadful at producing SM content. Except for belching out every brain fart on the twatters. JO is excellent across all platforms.

I absolutely wish her long life so she can spend a long time reaping what she's sown.

Going to put that one in the 'worst of times' lever arch file.
Also while we are on the subject of filing, my post of 17:25 today is a reference to tit-sloganed t-shirts and no-one's literal demise, your honour.

Is that possible? Can an author actually 'make sure' their books are in libraries? I would assume this was possible if donating but 1)i find it hardcto beleive Jack would actually cover the costs if this and 2) surely libraries would have some kind of process to select books

At the risk of triangulating myself yet again, we have a member of staff whose job is to deal with unsolicited donations.

We certainly don't just accept any old toot... there are strict criteria, forms to fill in, thank you letters to write.

We hardly take anything. Shelf space is at a premium, and a lot of the stuff we get is ghastly self published fantasy fiction.

If someone said..."I insist that my book goes into your library", we'd pop it on the pulp pile.

From what I can gather Kitchen was published in March 2015 (hardback) - was Jack on benefits in 2015 and buying fancy hardback cook books after selling all her lightbulbs 🧐

The may have occurred in the Second Poverty. There was the Great Poverty, then the inter-poverty years followed by the Second Poverty.

Or could be Jack is lying.

I think this may have been lost in the chaos of last night/this morning but I am DYING at Jack talking about pitching shows to her 'industry friends' that she has 'scripted' and 'assembled cast and crew'.

Have ye, aye?

First off, no. That isn't how it works. You don't do the scripting. And you definitely don't start scripting alongside a pitch. The pitch is the hook. Why would you start writing something that hadn't been signed off by the channel? Stop trying to pretend you know how TV works Jack. You're embarrassing yourself. If they said they liked it and it went nowhere.......it's because you've no idea and they know their jobs better than you do.

You would have almost nothing to do with the scripting, cast or crew. Who do you think you are?

But she spoke to friends in the industry (she bored LJC and latterly, the Lorraine sound tech) they said it was great!

I was listening to Samantha Morton on Radio 4 PM talking about being in care and couldn’t help contrast her with Jack. She spoke clearly and powerfully about the care system. She acknowledged her privilege in where she ended up compared to what others experience. And she kept bringing it back to changes needed and the lives of those who weren’t as lucky as her. Rather than it just being 10 minutes of “and another thing that happened to ME”. Someone ought to take notes…

She's deleted her 'post-covid' tweet too. Loser.

There wasn’t really anything wrong with the post covid tweet. It was clearly a jokey tweet. Reminds me of the time she joked about making a giant creme egg and someone came on saying how terrible it was that people were enjoying chocolate when he was a diabetic. Obviously she deserves to have people criticise her so I don’t care but sometimes people are determined to suck everyone else’s joy.

I don't think the average Superdrug shopper will know who she is tbh. If it was Boots they'd be more likely to I reckon. Jack's actual demographic vs her perceived demographic are two very different things.

They do a lot of Pride rainbow marketing
