If Js agents have indeed booked her for a memoir (HH2.1) next September, and it's not just a mis-categorisation - could all this be a provisional recap of the 10 year torment as a popularity test run? And if she shuts everything else down (because trolls) she can add that in, retire from endless unpaid labours, and have peace and quiet to write it all out longhand in between collecting 5k's for occasional speaking gigs . It all ties up quite neatly.

i think this is probably a large part of the problem. Her ‘friends’ will be saying things like ‘oh my god you wouldn’t believe what they’re doing on tattle now, they’re trying to guess your passwords’. And she’ll head to the bird site, all guns blazing, without actually checking and realising it was a joke. I bet she’s got loads of people fuelling the fire.
Do I want to ask about Grenfell?
I literally was just following an ASDA campaign that was crappy. That was it. THis is a rabbit hole...
Me. 'Why is that advertorial not declared as PR and why is it getting so much coverage'...The internet. 'Holy tit this is what you missed....'.

so here's a slightly OT ramble....
arborio rice IS expensive. but you know what isn't, is similarly starchy, and is much more economical? buying a bag of short-grain or sushi rice at an Asian market. the sort of tip you'd think a "budget cook" would want to pass on, rather than just saying "eh, all rice is the same".
Do we really think a stylist was behind the orange mop slippers? 
Does she have any friends? Can you imagine how absolutely impossible she would be, and as for family, I’m sure they are mightily sick of her and her dreadful food.
maybe they meant quinoa?
She wrote and later deleted a really terrible article placing herself smack bang in the centre of Grenfell and implying a certain level of expertise that she really doesn't have. It's insane and offensive so I'll leave it entirely up to you whether you want to see for yourself but the link is below.
We need to talk about Grenfell, and the corporate manslaughter of the poor.
I wrote this from the top of the church I volunteered in, inside the Police cordon at Grenfell, yesterday afternoon. I served as a Fire Control Operator for Essex Fire and Rescue Service from 2007 …

At a push you can absolutely use short grain rice instead of risotto rice, or vice versa, I make rice pudding with risotto rice all the time. BUt long grain? What? It'll be basmati next. Its the herbs for me. No, basil will taste different to coriander, thyme different to both and rosemary is quite the thing and flat leaf parsley is lovely but if you use sage instead you will duck up your dinner. No they are clearly not interchangeable. In what world are they interchangeable?
I so want to read the whole thing now!
She never recommends things like markets because not everyone has access to them or something. Same for Lidl and Aldi, despite the fact many poorer towns tend to have a branch that’s close to the centre. Personally I think she’s just too lazy to go anywhere except Asda unless she’s driven in a big car.
Oh she knows/cares nothing about food, and the fact she's written cookbooks and is known as any sort of a cook is infuriating.
(I've always just used short-grain rice for risottos and puddings, because I cook more Korean and Chinese food than Italian and tend to have it in the pantry, and don't feel like spending several dollars on a separate kind - sorry to any Italians reading
)
Just having a ponder on how badly she played it from the start-instead of focusing on ‘austerity chic’ as a middle class person she jumped on her misinterpretation of ‘being a poor’. She left out all the aspiration and self assurance of the working class-we don’t share the middle class anxieties about having/doing the ‘right’ things/signalling via brand choices etc. She should’ve stayed in her lane and focused on what she really likes-clothes and ‘things’.
Grayson Perry did an excellent 3 parter on C4 years ago exploring class-really really great as is Grayson 
We haven’t had a blog in a while. Eagerly awaiting HH3: 2Factor Authentication edition
She did in that Samsung ad from years ago, she went to a greengrocers stall and sniffed things.
Hope they made her purchase all the fruits she molested with her grubby hands.
Sending you love Jenny numbers xxx
No, I think coke was
I had a flick thru... It's a bit ... Wordy. There are a few more bits about JM.... Dull stuffI so want to read the whole thing now!
Like I said … (sorry they’re out of order, my phone is a twit)
Again, nobody is trying do you in, Jack. If someone with real skill has taken it upon themselves to do this, was successful, you will find what they want you to find.
And what they found will be made public. She wouldn’t be the first grifter/internet bully/liar this has happened to.

We have a few easter european shops and an asian supermarket within walking distance they really cheap. You'd think she would do more to promote them.
