A few ideas I found kicking about in my weird little brain that I thought I’d sling together for Jack’s children’s books bestseller list.
James and the Giant Narcissist
The Liar, the Witch and the Sideboard
Charlotte’s (Tangled) Web (of Lies)
Green Eggs and Ham: A Beginner’s Guide to Veganism
The Partial Maine Coone-Cross Who Came to Tea
The Subtle (Bread)Knife
Jack, the Champion of the World

Trigger warning. Talk of sexual abuse.
She changed her name because of "multiple sexual assaults and trauma". I was the subject of childhood sexual grooming. I was assaulted from the age of 11, and raped from the age of 12. It is horrific. I plucked up the courage to go to the police just a couple of years ago, after seeing my abuser, now in his late 80's, in the papers getting married to a man in his 20's. The horror came flooding back and all the repressed emotions resurfaced. What made things worse was finding out that he had spent his whole career as a teacher of primary school children. I won't go into too many details, that may identify me but just to say, it is unlikely he will ever leave prison to hurt another child.
If JM's allegations are true, and I have no reason to doubt them, then I would hope she gets the courage to go to the police. It is to my shame that I allowed this man to go on to abuse others. I have had to have counselling to deal with the guilt I feel for not thinking about those others that were abused after me, that went through the same, and in some cases worse, than me. I comfort myself with the fact that 60's Britain was a different place than now, and hopefully I would have acted sooner had this been going on today. JM will not be able to use such reasoning to excuse her lack of action.
Talking about sexual assaults online, changing her name, threatening to name these perpetrators and not doing so, is not dealing with the problem. Allowing them to carry on with the same behaviour is almost akin to permitting the abuse of others to carry on. She will, like me, forever live with the guilt that she could have stopped the abuser from moving on and abusing others. JM has the chance to do what I failed to do, there is so much more support today.
I could go on, but to be honest I am finding this very difficult. Someone with any sort of following, like JM, who continually references abuse, has a duty to report and see through these allegations with police. They are, like it or not, an example to others. With their fame comes a huge amount responsibility. JM seems to not realise this with her flippant way she just chuckes about allegations.
I am writing this with tears in my eyes, and a feeling as though I am about to vomit, the emotions never diminish. So sorry if this has triggered anyone, but unsure how to hide text behind warning.

Can I just say something please guys?
This is proof.
I didn't start the thread, my name isn't in the title, I didn't comment first.
I am NOT the curse.

Cynical, yet potentially correct observation here. It was all very "Oh Jack, maybe YOUUUU could do better?" wasn't it?

"Does he not have any new material?" She asks, immediately after dragging out the poverty tale for another airing.

She's really going down the route of calling someone out for using a different name? Okay Melissa Hadjicostas

I'm no David Walliams fan but he didn't change his name for 'lolz' but for Equity reasons I thought? There was another David Williams. And so bloody what #bekind Jack (Melissa).
I have got a horrible feeling she is planning a series of children's books featuring Pretzel - the little kitten who found a loving home with a quirky maverick owner. They both confronted their disabilities together and in doing so became better people/kittens.

That's her publisher I think.
"at least we won't shit on anyone on the way." she says, immediately after taking a huge dump all over David Walliams on Twitter.

She's in the course of one evening said far nastier things about David walliams than anyone is thread ever had about her.
Fricking. HYPOCRITE. Mean girl behaviour.
"oH iT HuRtS tO TaLk aBoUt HeRoiN, bEcAuSe oF mY dArK pAsT" but you'll accuse a dude of snorting coke and laugh about it
This is Jack at her worst.
