This is how you know Jack is middle class. Imagine what would be said about a working class woman who introduced new partners to her children at the drop of her drawers. The middle classes always get the benefit of the doubt.

I was just about to say this! Autistic people often take things literally, but it’s not a conscious thing that is pointed out when it’s happening. It falls within the rigidity side of the ‘triad of impairments’ used for autism diagnosis. She’s using a stereotype to reinforce her (IMO fake) diagnosis. I’ve never known a person with autism , to refer to their rigid thought processes while in the middle of doing something like she does.

The way literal thinking works is subconscious. It would be more likely to occur in a scenario where somebody says to a person with autism “I’ve got a pie here with your name on it” and they are then ~expecting~ a pie with their name literally on it. With someone who is ‘high functioning’ enough to dash here and there at a moments notice, has no routine, uses idioms and convoluted metaphors all day on Twitter - I would expect them to have learnt and filed away ‘with your name on it’ and not taken it literally. Especially in advance of saying it. Fucking hell what am I even trying to explain here?? I must be touched in the Pumble, she’s talking shit and I’m sitting here trying to explain why it’s shit. Maybe I am a sad little haus frau with nothing better to do on the Sabbath 🥹

Imagine the sinking feeling of dread you'd get if you were out, then someone informed you there was a black pudding and prune pie waiting for you at home. How ominous.

I would immediately text back "Really sorry, just ran into a mate and we've gone for a bite to eat". Then I would go missing for a week or two until I was sure she'd had to bin it.

yeah. It’s a weak play on words. It’s the sort of thing Lewis Carroll might have tossed off into one of the ALICE books on a bad day with a hangover. She is such a hokey old phoney. And here we are putting far more work into analysing her stupid words than she ever puts into anything she writes.

See also: leaving your children in a Portuguese hotel room whilst you go out for tapas with your equally middle class friends of an evening versus leaving your child in a caravan at Butlins whilst you go to play bingo and eat sausage rolls with your pals.

The pie thing isn't Autistic literalness, Jack ffs.

That would be something like... you get a text saying "There's a pie here with your name on it" then you get home and are surprised to see there is actually no name on your pie, because you took the text LITERALLY.

What you did is called "making a joke".

Let us defer to the Observer for a brief explanation of how Jack versus Lee Anderson, Martin Daubney, Laurence Fox and a bloke called Pat
…The row began after deputy leader of the Reclaim Party, Martin Daubney, posted a clip of an interview he had conducted with Anderson.
At the start of the clip, Daubney refers to Monroe as the “self-appointed representative of the impoverished”, adding she has “sold loads of books. Done quite well out of it. No doubt, probably earns more than the prime minister”. Anderson responds by stating: “She’s taking money off some of the most vulnerable people in society and making an absolute fortune on [sic] the back of people.”…
( Observer 15 May 2022)
Jack immediately leapt into action. At 5.25 on the 13th May she retweeted the offending video, tagging the lawyer who represented her when she successfully sued Katie Hopkins.

Interestingly, as I write this, the vile video with its career wrecking accusations is still on our heroines timeline, softly, gently ticking up views. All part of her cunning legal strategy I am sure.
At 18.02 Jack tweeted this. It was obvious she meant business.

Jack continued to tag her lawyer throughout the evening of the 13th, keeping him up to date with the fast moving situation

Not perhaps quite as often as she counted the number of views of the video

And she did make time to let us know this interesting fact

At 7.31 however our heroine seemed to become unsure whether her lawyer had the capacity to accommodate her and, possibly sensitive to the accusations laid against her, she added an important rider to her tweet. She would donate the cash if it wasn’t needed and anyone who couldn’t afford it was to donate. A huge relief to me in particular, mid month is always a difficult time.
Unfortunately, no doubt caught up in heat of the moment and keen to help the peoples poverty Princess, not everyone listened

We will take up the story later that night when Jack returned to our screens.
