Didn't a frau offer to send her the money too?
Are there many food banks in Southend? Say if a reporter wanted to go round them all, chat to the organisers and establish if there a regular volunteer called Jackie?

Plus she is subversivly saying that all parents who buy cheap food must feel guilt too. bleep.
So that's who bought Big Dave's!
Sooooo I have been out on a work night out. I may be a bit tipsy.
But can I just say;
I fuccccccccking hate Jack! Soooooo much!
Donāt know how to spoiler. Sorry.

He's dodgy as duck. If he's one of Jack's speed dial therapists it would certainly explain a lot.
God I despise Kyle & Hartley Brewer. And wtf was the point of having Jack on?
^^^this. IME a lot of publishers are now asking reviewers and/or media outlets to accept advance PDFs of books, not sending out physical copies (because Ā£ Ā£ Ā£ Ā£ ) unless they have to, or unless it's important for the reviewer to see a print copy of the book, like for art or photography. They certainly aren't shipping cartons of print books to "published authors" just because.
Ahem, I would like to claim
Why you sob

As my original comment @
If you don't agree I'll see you in the car park later behind the bins x
Apparently so JK could be āhandsyā so said Jack
Key thing to remember is that Jack loves books, all her books are gifted free, and because sheām moving to a one bed flat she is giving them away.
We can decode this as - look at me Iām so smart and popular, I didnāt spunk money in books, Iām forced to generously give them away now I have a smol home.
so bloody, ruddy kind.
Yes, there are quite a few. The Trussell Trust operates some out of a variety of locations across the borough (ten or so I think?), but there are also independent ones or some linked to other charities - the Storehouse (Vineyard church) is probably the best known, but thereās also the St Vincentās (VDP) one and the Sally Army too.
And thereās a lot of other community-led non-food-bank food provision for households in need - some of the churches do free hot meals for kids who are on their free holiday activity programmes (basically a week of mild Sunday school with arts and crafts and PE/team games/dancing) or go to some of the term-time after school and evening activity sessions. I know of other groups that use church venues who have group meals for the kids, and some of the mums get quietly given a bag of stuff to take home when they come and pick their kids up. And the community group leaders and the people who keep the church running also know which people are likely to be in need but wonāt ask for help (older widowed men, or single middle-aged men usually) so they get looked after too.
Thatās one of the very worst things about Jack. She doesnāt give the slightest tit about promoting the genuinely wonderful work other people do for free, out of the goodness of their hearts, using money from their own pockets, and with no expectation of reward or even acknowledgment, to make life a bit less tit for people who are having a tit time. Sheās had half a million people she could have been telling about how great people can be to one another. Thatās half a million potential donors to causes that she should be close to and care about. But sheās promoted herself, and asked people for money for herself. Greedy selfish grifter.
That was really interesting. There is a lot of anger online, and it does seem to come from a certain class of people. Look at the pile on today on Honey M (which she handled absolutely brilliantly), horrible to watch and horrible angry people. Iām sure they think theyāre all liberal, caring types who should be doing better than they actually are.They're both damaging in different ways IMO. People like Frau Andy send the curious onlookers to Tattle, and serious reviewers get the people who'd never be on Tattle to think twice about buying her book.
Sort of unrelated, Freddie deBoer posted this essay the other day that I think is really good. It's long, but the gist is that a lot of the toxicity and rage online is coming from frustrated would-be creatives who think they deserve more from life than they're getting. I was thinking about it yesterday while catching up, and then @Lucy Aeroplane wrote about how Jack had been really desperate to get in with the Southend creative scene... makes you think.
The Creative Underclass is Still Raging
Fifteen years ago, New York magazine published a piece called āGawker and the Rage of the Creative Underclass.ā (Alternative headline: āEverybody Sucks.ā) The piece argued that Gawker, then still a niche publication beloved of insiders, was powered fundamentally by the resentment of those...freddiedeboer.substack.com
Any clues for a clueless frau?Glad you were able to confirm as I can close a couple of chrome pages Iāve had open for a couple of months. Iāve absolutelythe flat and itās really such a beauty. Iād be happy to move there so if thatās where she goes Iām going to be rather perturbed as to how a pov such as Cack has managed to secure such a lovely home.
Get on Rightmove, look for properties in Thorpe Bay, specifically flats and make sure you are searching for ones that are STC. Thereās a really nice one listed at Ā£450,000
PS Where is Cooper? š„¹

And who describes themselves as "supervisor"? That's like me saying " exempt worker" in my Twitter bio.
Already discussed Iām sure but I feel I should report this for total fantasy. Sounds like the reporter has been in her new place, has she actually moved then?
That is eerily accurate
BIB possible thread title?
