She won’t though, unless she chooses to reject her family’s help if she found herself struggling (again, allegedly). I do wonder if that’s part of it, the fact she is Pulp’s Common People personified. Say she did destroy her career - what’s the absolute worst that could happen? She’d work in a supermarket (her own claim), maybe qualify for some benefits, have her family to help out if necessary. Eventually get a tidy inheritance. That’s better than how a lot of people live

When you see #Walliams is trending on Twitter and run straight over here to see what was happening!

Also - yes he's trending, but the top tweet is her original with just 7.1k likes & scrolling through 'top' there aren't any other big ones that I'm seeing, it seems to have largely just opened up a lot of debate? It's not been a huge viral take off, I think it's more indicative of a quiet news day than any real scandal breaking for him tbh. Twitter as a whole is very left leaning & obviously BLM has risen public consciousness anyway so people are discussing it, I don't think this will have any real world repercussions for him.

Personally - before she brands us all right wing trolls rooting for Walliams as I'm certainly not - I don't like the idea of classism/racism/stereotyping in any children's books, obvs. But I also think it's incredibly hard to avoid the inevitable classist/racist/everything-ist socialisation that your children will undergo as part of growing up in Britain, especially if they grow up white, unless you take extreme action and home school/completely 'other' them. Knowledge is compounding and builds layer by layer, kids are gonna be exposed to shit but it's about sitting with them and taking the time to explain the wider social context, why it happens, and why it's not acceptable/in line with your family's values, and your actions as a fam to stop perpetuating those wrongs urselves?

I'd argue that it'd be far more productive to discuss the inclusivity (and authenticity, as she's on it...) of the national curriculum and making swaps for celeb books like his with BAME & other minority group authors to expose kids to a wider range of world views. But again it's JM, why do a Marcus Rashford when you can amplify & criticise images of food parcels with no provenance and say you'll fix it in a sec, but never bother loool.

Ok so this morning we were complaining DW is a bad children's author, and now

Feel sorry for the abuse this poster is going to get.
Hey, that’s me. Don’t worry about me. It’s just words on a screen. I used to have a wee read through this thread when my little one was up all night feeding so had to come and check how this shit storms going down. It’s water off a ducks back, no one AT ALL is interested in me apart from the people who just had to tell me that. I’ll be fine.

At least she has a shitload of stuff to sell. Even 2nd hand Vivenne Westwood (RIP) would fetch a decent amount.

The other lady, Emma, who challenged her this morning got shredded. She handled it really well but my God they were viscious to her
It's That Man-gate all over again. Any dissenting voice is absolutely eviscerated by her cabal.

At least she will be able to use her own books.

It doesn't even make sense. So she's suggesting that Walliams doesn't write his books, but also snorts coke while writing his books. Well, which is it?

Or is there a third scenario where he snorts coke from Bobby Brown's ass while the ghostwriter is busy writing?

My new hero is this nice lady, who answered one of Jack's fans with receipts and calmness.




"That's not what happened!"

"Yes it is"

"Ok, I hadn't seen that, but where was the other thing!"

"Here's a screenshot of the other thing happening"

"...oh well I haven't read everything"

I despair at Jack's fans. Why were you jumping in like ~thats not what happened~ when you clearly didn't know what you were talking about, frog tree lady?!

Sinister is the word. The way she acted when she popped up here properly gave me the heebie jeebies. Something about that "shant". There really is a possessed feeling about it. Hateful spiteful triumphalism.
Yes, she straight up gives me the creeps. One of the reasons I would never engage with her directly.

It’s a bloody good job this hausfrau is currently unemployed at the moment. Jack is keeping me hella busy with her libellous bullshit today! I really hope DW sues her and if any journalists need any info on Ms Jack ‘Be Kind’ Monroe, we have all the receipts and then some on her right here!!
