Yes, I can understand feeling embarrassed, maybe even delaying, but to make out when you had the most poverty poverty ever when you had a big get out of jail free card you completely undermine and devalue everyone's experience.Her not telling her marvellous parents and SB's amazing dad might be true. What I will never understand ever is her proudly making a career off the back of appallingly selfish choices that made life miserable for a small child. I would cringe with shame and sadness at the memory of dragging a toddler round in the rain when he could've been at his dad's or grandparents. Not recount it for a career move. Or use it an an example of grinding poverty when I had options I chose to ignore.
I reckon stovies will make it south of the border with corned beef and tinned tattiesSurely she has to sample a roll and fritter as well.... and a pickle
Or a pizza crunch. Or a munchie box
Then she can go back to Essex and claim she invented them
Also regarding social services, she could have just asked her 20-year foster carer parents for their advice and they would have put her straight.Yes, I can understand feeling embarrassed, maybe even delaying, but to make out when you had the most poverty poverty ever when you had a big get out of jail free card you completely undermine and devalue everyone's experience.
Also the social services fear is a real one many people have, but it's completely unfounded. Jack should be countering that myth as much as possible as it stops people reaching out for support until it's too late.
She romanticises or catastrophises everything she talks about. Everything has to be the worst case ever, or the best ever or fixed in the shortest time ever, or went on for the longest time ever.Also regarding social services, she could have just asked her 20-year foster carer parents for their advice and they would have put her straight.
Not that I believe a single word of her nonsense. Jack just fetishises and romanticises the pov life, along with struggles with social services, as she may have witnessed in the lives of the foster siblings that she resents so much.
I am really concerned about how you’re going to get the creases out xI normally quite like the Edinburgh book festival, but clutched my linnen tote bag when I saw her announced!
A while ago Limmy had a Twitter post about annoying middle class people with protest signs that had scottish words on them to be funny (like 'Johnson is a bawbag'), and Jack has exactly that kind of annoying vibe. She would totally call a politician (or anyone she is seeking beef with) a bampot, bawbag or absolute roaster whilst visiting.
Oh please take himOh no you don't! I will kick shins! I call bagsy on Simon Pegg.

Had a long walk to do in 30 degree heat earlier - I wondered what on earth could make this walk more exhausting still, so I stuck a Jack podcast on. Unfiltered with J O'B, a pretty old one but a retelling of the life story as per. My goodness, I know we all know this but the story is just so ridiculous. Trying to feed SB with "just enough nutritional value and calories per day to keep social services from the door", and later waxing lyrical about her wonderful parents and SB's wonderful dad and how she simply "didn't tell them". J O'B seemed to just be sitting there like a nodding dog instead of asking her does she not think that was selfish and borderline neglect?
The triggery bath/attempt tale was also just her 'plan' in this retelling, but didn't come to fruition because people started taking notice of her blog. The blog which she was told to start by some media people which I think confirms what we've always suspected - 'a girl called Jack' was a brand-building exercise from the very beginning.
The voice was unbearable from the beginning but my god, throughout it and towards the end she seemed to be so full of snot she could barely get the words out.
is this the quote for Jack’s book cover?Janey Godley..."don't bring food"
Looks like Janey is LITERALLY familiar with Jack's body of work!I am not a JG fan at all, though obviously hope her health issues are resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible but I will say the speed with which she turned down Jack's offer of homecooked food had me
Is there anything other than Jack’s tweet to say the Police even did attend? I mean I know she’s autistic therefore *literally* can’t lie but I’m wondering if they ever were at The Shitty Bungalow or it’s just another episode of JackanoryThe 'welfare check' tweet is oddly worded. We do welfare checks/concerns for welfare in work. Sometimes on behalf of the police if a concerned friend/relative has contacted them. In my experience the police will do everything they can to contact the person concerned/family members/associates etc before they turn up at someone's door.
ETA Also worth noting the type of concern for welfare will dictate which police team will respond eg Neighbourhood Police Team or Response Police Team. Obviously one is less dramatic than the other!
Can someone nominate 'don't bring food' as a title in a few pages?Janey Godley..."don't bring food"
Far, far longer than this.SS have been wonderful with me and my middle kid, and have done far more to help us than CAMHS. Lots of services can only be accessed (in my area anyway) via a referral from Early Help.
Action for Young Carers, sleep support courses, support groups for parents, etc.
How long has she been quiet for now? What’s the longest she’s been AWOL for before?
Last year she spent months staying in a very expensive aparthotel in London while attending rehab, and none of her fans noticed she was off Twitter.SS have been wonderful with me and my middle kid, and have done far more to help us than CAMHS.
