This is me, I'm that single mother. This is why I despise Jack, because she has no idea about generational poverty. Jack thinks because she willingly went a year with little food on benefits that she's hard done to. Jack try 9 years love. Jack absolutely could have went to her parents or her son’s father. What was all that about being homeless when her parents are wealthy!? Bollox Jack. Go to Middlesbrough speak with the single mothers there, that's what you call inescapable poverty.Plus as most have already mentioned, she had wealthy and *supportive* parents who would have happily looked after her and the kid, helped her get work and given her advice and love when she was in difficult circumstances. A lot of single mothers in that situation would have none of that, and would end up living through genuine poverty without anything to fall back on. I just can't be bothered with idiotic privileged people who put themselves through a parody of the real suffering people go through every day, just to be more 'real' (gag)... or in Jack's case, adolescent stubbornness. It's like her 'poverty period' was a phase for her; a belated teenage rebellion to show her parents she didn't need them??
It's not just Jack, it's practically a part of the culture in some circles now. It's like barely anybody who campaigns to end poverty has actually experienced it, and the people with the power to create change refuse to acknowledge real oppression and inequality. Unless it's going to get them money or a new slot on a show, obviously. In a recession with even high earners starting to feel the bite of inflation, do we really need more rich people swanning about, acting like they know how the majority feel??
OhJM & JHB on the telly box together
Link doesn’t work for me but it’s my fault not yours. My iPad hates Facebook with a g vengeance.
In trying to find it, I found this article: https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/28/toda...e-fight-for-the-world-he-believed-in-8188474/
Which is basically Jack saying that she’s really sorry that she didn’t bother with Harry even though he asked her to. Now he’s dead and she‘s really sad.
Harry's son is another grifter, exploiting his dad while he was alive and now exploiting his memory for sweet, sweet gofundme.Also, whilst it's quiet. Here's a video of Jack reading at a memorial service in 2019, for Harry Leslie Smith. She nearly shared a stage with Jeremy Corbyn but he LEFT that stage before she came marching in at 26.45. She admits she didn't bother writing anything, even though she's a LITERAL writer, so reads a bit of Harry's book instead. Kevin Maguire from The Mirror is presenting the event.
It was meant to be 419 but the apprentice messed up...Thank you. I thought it was a sobriety thing but all I could think was "number of days sober" and I knew even Jack wasn't that daft.
She said recently that she was a retained firefighter at some point and would like to return to it. As far as I'm aware retained firefighters have exactly the same requirements as regulars. Make of that what you willAn environment with compulsory drug and alcohol tests could be good for her. But if she can’t cope with driving and finds it causes panic attacks, is train driver a sensible choice. Incidentally fire officer recruitment requirements include a driving license so no idea how the rumours she was going to be a firefighter have any truth.
I really hope it is true he still sees LJC. I know I would have liked to have kept contact with some of my dad's girlfriends, but that was before social media. Career wise, she went from Three Counties radio to central BBC then to C4. I genuinely feel for her, having been involved in the car crash of JM life. I think she was just naive and got carried away. The rehab / BB eras suggest she did try to do the right thing.LJC is probably SB's favourite among the revolving door of Jack's partners.
Yes, she’s probably applying for barrister jobs this week!I think she just threw it in because train strikes were in the news a lot and everyone was talking about Mick Lynch.
"That's libel. Completed it mate."Yes, she’s probably applying for barrister jobs this week!
Yes, she’s probably applying for barrister jobs this week!
She once announced she would like to work in a pupil referral unit! Can you imagine, Jack who can't stand the mildest bit of criticism?It's such a random job to mention- does Jack think she can do it because she's been on a lot of trains??
She was drafting applications. Never said she sent any.Whatever happened with all those jobs that Jack was applying for? Or am I confused. I thought Jack was applying g for hundreds of jobs.
Hasn't aged well, has it?!OhI did NOT expect her to be on that side of the argument in this interview!
It's awful isn't it? She can do her performative being poor all she likes, I couldn't care less, but she has a child living with her for most of the time, according to her.I’m almost almost at a point where I’m feeling sorry for Jack. The criticism must feel relentless at the moment.
But then I remember either her son is living in a house with no shampoo, hot water or light bulbs; or she’s pretending he is, and I’m all “Nah, she’s just a cunt”
That tricksy wording again...She actually said she had drafted applications. Never said she had sent them or actually applied...
She really does. I've had involvement with an off site school unit (not a PRU) for secondary school kids who are struggling for a wide variety of reasons at the main school site. She would be absolutely torn apart, in all respects (I don't want you dead Jack, it's just reality) in a PRU. I know there are very experienced teacher Fraus of many years here that have said they couldn't do it.She once announced she would like to work in a pupil referral unit! Can you imagine, Jack who can't stand the mildest bit of criticism?
She has such a lack of self awareness.
