This exactly - Gary, very publicly calls out people who bully and intimidate his staff - not sure why he feels it's ok for Jack to bully others and to set the FMs off to bully on her behalf too.
This exactly - Gary, very publicly calls out people who bully and intimidate his staff - not sure why he feels it's ok for Jack to bully others and to set the FMs off to bully on her behalf too.Hang on, she’s a public figure with a large public account/following who deliberately posts provocative, inciteful, triggering (and incompetent) shit. By that rationale, on a much larger scale are Trump parody accounts also bullying?
Maybe Gary could also call Jack out on her “on line bullying” in a very calculated way of people with tiny accounts who haven’t even directly interacted with her?! That’s a fucking weird double standard you have there, Usher. And your message might have more resonance if you weren’t being so coy about the “certain stuff” too.
Edited cos I’m a tit and called him Tom.
It's giving me serial killer vibes, "it wasn't me, it was GRANDDAD"."...the reason I wear a boiler suit and say fuck a lot and smoke licorice rollups from time to time." What?! So Jack channels her dead grandad by donning a boiler suit and puffing on rollies? Sounds...normal.
I personally would be delighted if Jack could send pizza or curry to my house. No one delivers here. The royal mail even goes through phases of not being arsed to deliver and invites us to collect from the sorting office instead.She'll beour IP addresses and sending pizzas, taxis and curries to our houses in a fit of rage & revenge, which is good, cos I actually did order a Chinese. Might hurry it up a bit.
Also, is this the first in the long line of the personalities and stories she stole??"...the reason I wear a boiler suit and say fuck a lot and smoke licorice rollups from time to time." What?! So Jack channels her dead grandad by donning a boiler suit and puffing on rollies? Sounds...normal.
Every time I read about her grandad, Carter USM's 'Sheriff Fatman' starts playing in my head...This is Jack's letter to Edwina Currie because she was too thick and cowardly to say this at the time. It reads like Grandad was a bit of a miser tbh. Jack must take after him a bit in terms of chasing every penny and not spending on necessities like repairs, rent, dog grooming.

Also a Facebook post from 2020 with a sad exchange between Jack and her mum who I've squigged. Jack couldn't just be nice and say, yes of course I'll bring some round mum.
She was clearly desperate for paternal approval from grandad and Big Dave.

I was going to say her writing gives me the cringe, but then I thought about it and realised her everything gives me the cringe.I know this will have been said a million times before but her writing reeks of like GCSE English coursework. Not everything needs a million adjectives Jack. It's like, in her desperation to paint a picture she's somehow managed to paint nothing at all.
Cheap wet ham
Next line checks out.Every time I read about her grandad, Carter USM's 'Sheriff Fatman' starts playing in my head...
Have you found any evidence of him being 'six foot six and a hundred tonnes'?
That is the ghostly apparition of Toothpaste Man. Haunting us all through the medium of awful gravy. Poor old bugger.
It looks like something a disinterested year 7 would make in textiles. I think the top part is just a bog standard multi pack girl’s vest stitched onto a very badly made skirt.
Now you mention it…It's giving me serial killer vibes, "it wasn't me, it was GRANDDAD".
I am urging all canal members to remain vigilant around boiler suits and take precautions should you smell liquorice rollies unexpectedly.

That Guardian article is nuts. She wants people to believe that she didn't know her grandad rented another three houses out on top of the four guest houses? Maybe as a kid, but in her twenties? Yet Edwina fucking Currie knew?This is Jack's letter to Edwina Currie because she was too thick and cowardly to say this at the time. It reads like Grandad was a bit of a miser tbh.

2013 was apparently when she was stealing food and became a prostitute to survive. But she was working at the Southend Echo, and while junior reporter pay is shit, she should not have been that badly off. There would have been tax credits etc at the time. That was a great opportunity for her that she threw away.Bread and Jam was never intended to be an extra income stream though. She quit a job (retail IIRC) to start it - not even testing the waters by doing it on the side for a while first.
2012 employment off the top of my head, although I'm sure I posted the receipts somewhere:
Nov '11: quits fire service
spring '12: gets job in bar/cafe. Quits about a month(?) later
later spring '12: gets another job. Fired after a week
summer '12: no paid employment but lots of volunteering
autumn '12: gets job, I think retail. Quits after 1 - 2 months to become full-time crafter.
around the same time: starts writing weekly column for the Southend Echo (quite poorly paid - she didn't start working there as a full-time reporter until early '13. Then she quit that 6 months later.)
It's amazing how much of the Poverty was just Jack being too lazy to stick to a job.
She was also - and I say this as a sewing frau - trying to sell handmade clothes, while being unable to sew for shit. This is not just a little bad, this is horrendous:

I actually think her sewing may be worse than her cooking?
PS @Valiofthedolls when you get to the one about how she doesn't need to be on a 10£ budget but she sticks to it because it's so much fun, and she and SB are healthy and chubby etc, you're in for a treat. Those old blogs are a goldmine.
Surprised to see Jack say her family weren't poor in the Edwina tantrum article. What of the parents having to skip dinner because they couldn't afford food for themselves and most heartbreaking of all Big Dave hitchhiking in his humiliating trousers?This is Jack's letter to Edwina Currie because she was too thick and cowardly to say this at the time. It reads like Grandad was a bit of a miser tbh. Jack must take after him a bit in terms of chasing every penny and not spending on necessities like repairs, rent, dog grooming.
