Why does this look like it's been written by Jack herself?
She won’t get away with it if he chooses to call in his lawyers. She openly defamed him on a public platform. The daily mail is just a rag. I wouldn’t line my cats litter trays with it.
If she has the audacity to even attempt to critique one of his books after this pile on she’s got a bigger brass neck than I gave her credit for.

They’ve spelt her name wrong and so much of what they’ve said is out of context and makes her look good. Urgh. Fuming.
To be fair to the DM this seems to be a journalistic tactic for them. Some stories are reported in a neutral or even positive way, knowing that their readers will disagree as you can see in the comments. Their readership generally holds certain views and most of the reporting supports those opinions, but they throw in a wildcard every now and then to keep them sharp. Probably also to do with avoiding legal trouble as some fraus have suggested, but the effect is positive anyway. The DM doesn’t have to say XYZ about Jack - their readers are already ahead of themI am disappointed that the Mail has allowed her the platform of being a hero. I think they jumped at the chance to bash David Walliams to get the clicks on their page.
I have a feeling Jack will get away with this as Walliams is not very popular. And that will reinforce to Jack that she could keep causing hateful pile-ons again and again. I wonder who Jack will choose next. No wonder she struggles to sleep, living with the knowledge that you are a hateful person must be tough.
Edit: However I bet all celeb cooks and writers are taking noteSome might cheer her on at the ring side but surely many will be wary of being associated with her in terms of professional capacity in the future.
I briefly glanced at the journalist’s Twitter, seems he primarily covers sports and may be a little left leaning (or at least critical of the government). Doubtful that he wrote that article expecting woke responses hailing Jack as a hero, though!
I’m the same. I use a coiled hair tie. I twiddle that and it saves my fingers turning into a bloody mess.
Also this. Lets just leave literature alone and accept that not everything is going to be your cup of tea. How boring would art be if it was sanitised

Exactly. Sally Bercow tweeted asking why somebody’s name was trending with a tongue in cheek emoji and was successfully sued for libel, it cost her £50K.
I hope DW and his team sue her bleeping arse. Though she’ll plead poverty and say she’s got nothing to sue for. She rents don’t you know.
Ugh! Genuinely disappointed and actually close to upset that she can be so vile and get away with it. I bet she’s so bleeping pleased with herself.
It would be sweet karmic justice if she got sued for libel and lost. No chance of owning a house when she's got hundreds of thousands of pounds of legal costs to stump up...
If you @ someone on insta, should it show on their page under tagged? Can't see anything on Arena Flowers page.
*sadly* Babe, same.
Without the accusations of drug taking etc it's a bit of non-story. And no mainstream publication is going to go there.
Looks like DW's team can't be arsed to respond to the lit crit.
Could you imagine when small boy gets into his teens and someone gives him a Viz annual?

We are really teetering on edge of censorship here. ( Think china) I think it's actually unfair that kids today are not being trusted enough to read a book( age appropriate) and be allowed to make an informed choice on the themes within the book. How can we educate people of there only seeing one side of the story( the approved side). In my own humble opinion they need to be given both sides and be guided to make the sensible decision. The world is an awful place, full of awful people and they are not going to go away because we keep shoving books about fairies and all things nice under our kids noses. They need educating on the good and the bad and adequate guidance. I worry for my kids. There going to struggle in this new world.
No, the tagged means tagged in a photo, so if she’s just @ them in the caption but not tagged them in the photo it won’t show up
Instagram is a bit confusing
ETA: realised it was a story post not a grid post, so it won’t appear anywhere else
Don't sweat it guys, sit tight and watch her glee over this turn more and more manic, she'll trip over herself eventually, and more and more people will be watching
I don't know how tagging works on Insta, but those flowers are wilting and they're crispy and browning on the edges so they'd probably delete it anyway. They look tit compared to the fresh bouquets on their grid.

My mother also never policed what I read. I was reading Jackie Collins as a young teenager (as were many other teenage girls) and so on. I now have a life long love for reading because it was encouraged and I can also think critically. I'm not damaged by any stereotypes I read in a book or by any whimsical childhood books that didn't include right on characters.
Exactly, the world is not a utopia and it's far more damaging to pretend otherwise
