Jack strikes me as the type who would just burst into tears upon being confronted in a debate - she’s at her best and most intelligent being a keyboard warrior and that’s really saying something...
She just says she's BUSY if it's something she doesn't want to answer.

It’s so clear that neither Jack nor her fans have any idea about corporate PR or business social media etiquette.

The first rule for businesses is to never engage in a public slanging match with an aggrieved (perceived or otherwise) party, and if potentially brand damaging allegations have been made, you certainly don’t seek to make corrections on such a volatile - and public - platform.

Harper Collins is acting exactly as you’d expect any multinational brand to behave.
Does she have an agent ? I know she claims to but surely they wouldn’t let her behave like this?!

She does. She went head to head with Edwina Currie on some political talk show, and was doing her best bolshie gobby activist shtick, when Edwina calmly reminded Jack that her grandad was a wealthy property owner. The look on her face was priceless and then she burst into tears.

It makes it more dramatic.
I actually find this really upsetting. I waited 13 years to actually marry my wife, converting it from a civil partnership after 6 years. When we were able to call each other wife and wife (🤗😂) it was a momentous occasion and not one to be taken lightly. More to the point, in many countries, some people are not given the freedoms we are and are not able to cement their relationships with their loved ones in the way we are lucky enough to be.

I have a passionfruit plant that has stayed alive for two years now, but is still just one strangly bit that grows tall in summer and dies back down in winter. Can I save it? How?
Haha, should have put a caveat my main experience is house plant related! Have taken up 'proper' gardening in lockdown which has been a baptism of fire tbh! What I have mostly discovered is that you should check if it's in the right place in the garden/roughly the right kind of soil/ the right stuff to hang on to. Def feed it from time to time, and apparently pruning the duck out of things at the right time is essential to enhanced health and growth.

I read this the other day which was quite helpful https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=463

Hankering after an invite to put the real story out there? Made sure they were tit tagged 🙄View attachment 174840
Why is it "important to note here I've not bought a single one", does she not buy her SB books? If it's a childs best seller and all his friends have it, its very easy as a parent to give in, especially if it means they want to read! I've not read every book my child reads, they have school libraries and public libraries to loan books. She could have read it after a library loan. Why say " Important I didn't buy this book"?

I consider myself left wing. A socialist I campaigned for Scottish independence in 2014. While Jack was on twitter with her fake Scottish Indy account. That basically involved tramping the streets in the pissing rain delivering thousands of leaflets. I also manned polling stations at council and general elections. I delivered supporters letters. It is tedious. But you do it because you believe in a cause.

Jack? And don’t say you couldn’t because of your kid. I know of five year olds who delivered leaflets in 2014 with their mum.

I absolutely bleeping hate influencers who call themselves left wing and political and don’t do duck all apart from not vote in referendums and tell Jude law to sit down.

Some of us actually talk the talk, we don’t just walk the walk.

We could all act like a bleep if we had 278k twitter followers

View attachment 174748Jack they don’t give a shiny tit about you.
They said the information she was spouting was inaccurate (never did I ever think I would be siding with The Daily Mail - what has this done to meeeeee?!?!) They replied to one comment and explained the nature of the language used in the book in the same statement, to respond to the rest She really is barking up the wrong tree if she thinks a large publishing company is going to

Does she really think her behaviour is going to do her any favours long term? We have said time and time again why does nobody close to her step in ?? If I was behaving like this my friends and my daughter would tell me to sort my bloody self out in no uncertain terms.
I would love to see this 😂😂
I think it was called "The Big Benefits Debate or Row"

The Dishoom cookbook is so good! (#notanad)
How veggie/vegan is it? I use a lot of meat replacements but it’s nice having some where you don’t have to! I adore Dishoom, used to go at least once a month when I lived near the kings cross one.
