I have a theory about the (
debaitable?) sock account. I think it was originally OHs account.
I'll preface this by saying I have gone full-blown mithering ninnying haus frau on this one. Spent far too much time today thinking about it. If I have gone full tin foil hat, please let me know. Although, you should note I have ADHD and it is therefore genetically impossible for me to be wrong, or something.
Thanks to
@Marmalade Atkins for the OH timeline in thread 326, v helpful!
The first tweet on the account is from June 2020. This tweeter shares some interests with Jack, but does not sound like her at all. The tweeter has a measured tone, doesn't like political tribalism or polarised debate, doesn't use personal attacks. References to a local MP strongly suggest they live in Southend. They have some interests and areas of knowledge that we know Jack doesn't have, including IT and video games. They tweet infrequently.
Jack first mentions OH on 24th March
The sock account tweets from 30th April - 2nd May have a different tone, and imo sound like Jack. On 3rd May Jack tweeted that she and OH had just returned from a mini break in Venice. I reckon, for some reason, she got OH to let her use his twitter while they were away. Now she has access to his account.
May 6th - May 11th I think this is OH again. Return of the more measured tone.
May 14th - 16th May The sock account goes bonkers defending Jack left, right and centre about the Lee Anderson mess. The tone is angrier, the language more divisive, there's a huge uptick in tweets (exclusively about Jack), mentions Katie Hopkins. It seems clear to me that this is Jack tweeting. The sock describes Jack as working class, says she grew up in poverty, says £2,200 a month isn't "crazy" money, says Jack was on benefits for 18 months raising son single-handedly. Sock gets particularly pissed off about the winter fuel allowance squig who donated money to Jack.
Another tweeter suggests the account is a sock.
17th May - 24th May no tweets
25th May - 26th July I think this is OH again. Reverted to a calmer, more considered tone. There are some Jack-adjacent topics of discussion - Lozza Fox. Quite a lot of tweets about abortion rights in the US, one comment implies the tweeter is a man. Some comments suggesting the tweeter is not a Christian/religious. Some more comments on video games, internet culture. Jack tweeted about break up on 19th June. Interestingly (or not, if this is just the wild ramblings of a hyperfocused pumble-frau), the sock account re-tweets a Jack tweet about taking down Katie Hopkins on 25th June.
2nd August onwards - all Jack, all about Jack, attempting to defend herself from this reckoning.
Disclaimer:
Assuming I am correct, and the account belonged to another person (whether or not that person is OH) and is now being used by Jack as a sock account: I don't believe there is any way to identify the other person. To be clear, this is a GOOD thing - our focus is Jack. We joke about OH but I don't think anyone here has made any serious attempt to identify him - he's just someone who has been caught up in Jack's orbit, and his life is none of our business. I would not have brought further attention to this account if I thought it contained any identifying information. I have tested this by googling key words and info to try and find the person. I don't think it can be done, so I'm sharing my theory. I hope that's all clear.
This is my fave tweet from the possible sock, it's just so Classic Jack:
