Fixed it for her, the way she writes about leaving it to thicken and looking at what is under the black mess convinces me it is packet pasta in sauce, nothing wrong with it but at least be honest
Haven’t we heard “it’ll thicken in the oven” before?
<hums White Horses for some reason…>

and Vlad, Vlad — keeping up with the internet, or influencing it?

I'm kind of disappointed that more didn't come of that tweet by British Gas saying they don't take standing orders. (I'm presuming because of the issues one other Frau talked about a few threads back with people failing to set them up correctly)

The talking head on GMB just noted how ML and some other bloke are the true opposition. No mention of Jackie. A new enemy has been made.

Jack's vegan era is now known as the Fairytale of No Pork.
I'm sorry, I'll see myself out...

Just hopping on to say that I'm on Jury Service and was watching Jack on BBC in the waiting room on Monday morning as I sat bored out of my mind.I genuinely can't bear her nasally voice, and would usually turn over.

One of the other juries filed past slowly to the main desk, and as they stood waiting in line a woman said "Well she's guilty ain't she- look at her- dunno what it's about but she just looks guilty." I mean she was obvs just joking with the person next to her, but I felt so SEEN

I don’t think there’s a rule but to the best of my knowledge - and there were a few months I didn’t read these threads - she hasn’t said she takes/has taken drugs. And I guess that until she does confirm, we can’t say for definite that she does.

But I think there have been a lot of hints - the mentions of snow, the Henry gif etc - which spawned from the J1g tweet so it’s not being avoided completely.

Maybe she's got another segment on BBC Breakfast?

Instead of the rolled out of bed look, we're going to get clown make up Jack.
I don’t think she’s going on GMB, earlier on they said Martin Lewis and Mick Lynch were the opposition to the Government…I’m sure they meant to add Jack to that list but probs just forgot

I read an interesting piece exploring the unlikly pairing of extreme right folks and yoga mums during the anti-vax protests in different countries the last years, taking into account particular phychological traits (can't remember them all but as you can guess 'mistrust of authorities' was an important factor, as was trauma). It also mentioned how after WWII some ex-nazi agents 'happily' became Stasi agents, which was not exactly the same political ideology, and it was more the attraction to the job type and again psychological traits that explained that, rather than a change in beliefs about values. (Having said that, I do think that the most normal kind of empathy and caring for vulnerable groups is nowadays portrayed in the tabloids as 'the terror of woke' and 'extreme left'. I also think the mainstream right-wing politics of today is much more influenced by extreme right ideas, like the Rwanda plans to name one, than that the mainstream left-wing politics is even remotely influenced by the extreme left ideas. But that;s not what this thread is for).

As for Jack, she just jumps on any ol' bandwagon that comes along.

I would imagine if this is true, the system is to ensure people are getting the right help and meds not to stop people abusing the system, not everyone has the same dubious thought processes as you Jack

and far left activist who didn’t support or vote for Corbyn *insert sure Jan gif here *

Isn’t it funny how each time she says she’s going to cook every day the main reason is to help her out of her depressive funk, rather than it being to help the POORS or because it’s her job. Gives her the perfect excuse when she doesn’t do it though I guess.

Llike her lips, it's just filler. I think another person here mentioned that it's a matter of quickly filling in a spot on the show before a deadline. Lil Miss Always Available will fill it up when the phone her.

I fully agree btw, get a Citizen's Advice Bureau person on there, or from a debt charity of affordable warmth service. Not rent-a-filled-gob Monroe.

Yeah she’s a centrist at ‘best’ there’s nothing far left about her. I’m Corbyn left and voted for him to be Labour leader (when I was a member of the Labour Party). I knew deep down he would never be PM but the alternatives were a bit meh, we’ll never have a truly socialist PM as we’re too conservative as a county overall. Starmer is very Blair-like so stands a good chance of being PM (considering how shockingly bad the Tories have been, one of my cats could be) but even he’s meh.
Edited to add: the only thing I don’t agree with Corbyn about is Brexit, worse thing we ever did was leaving the EU.

Sorry, I proper went off on one there. Jack is a twat etc.

Your perspective is really interesting. Do you recognise much of the person you knew growing up in her current persona on Twitter?
She was always a bit chaotic, quite up and down in her moods, but I remember her being a lot more fun! Had a great laugh. Sadly seems to be very angry and bitter now...

I don't live in Southend anymore but my family do. My sibling actually worked for a charity who helped set her and boy up in a flat and provide furniture etc they never received any thanks since she's become famous, no acknowledgement or suggestion to others to access this service...
