She exposes herself so badly. She says she lived at home till she was 20 thought she moved out at 16?

I have transcription software so I could transcribe the Greenbelt talks and add to the media? Will save us having to listen to the honk.

I transcribed edinburgh which is on my laptop somewhere (a doc calls Jack’s lies iirc)

Jack went through a rough patch financially (possibly partly self-inflicted) and used that experience to position herself as an expert on how to make food on a budget and leverage this into an entire career. She did not grow up poor at all (I for example, grew up poorer than Jack and I would imagine half the country did), so doesn’t know how that feels or what it’s really like, and she is not poor now. She experiences the kind of poverty you get when you don’t want to ask your parents (who are able to afford it) for a couple of hundred quid in between jobs, or when you earn good money but it’s spent before the month is up on stuff you don’t need. I think her fans are mostly middle-class types who don’t understand actually being poor as far as I can see.

If in recent years Jack has had no money in the bank at any time, it’s due to her disorganisation and profligate spending (now admitted), rather than lack of income.

Jack describing herself as a reporter and reads seven (SEVEN) newspapers a day. Send pathologistos, for I am

In her head Jack thinks that her turning up is enough for her followers.
She doesn’t have to prepare, she just has to be.

I feel like that record was exceeded on her last flounce but I can’t remember by how much.
Oh my, you are correct! I failed to update the note on my phone. A truly Jack moment, I am so ashamed.

Record broken on 1st Dec when we hit 271 hours. Currently on 84 hours. To break that, it would be Feb 2nd!

Every interview of Jack’s debunks something from a previous interview, and many of her tweets don’t line up with each other. Moving out at 16 is the youngest age possible of course, and can be associated with kids who have been in care environments or had their education or home lives disrupted, or who are young single parents, or who have issues with their own parents. Moving out at 20 is, of course, fairly typical and doesn’t catch the eye quite so much.

She can’t even put in the effort of following her own lies.

She’s so full of shit no enema on earth could empty her.

I couldn't listen to/watch a lot of the Edinburgh talk because she makes my skin crawl, always has I'm such a fucking HIPSTER but the way she says 'twisted trolls' really irritated me. Like why mention trolls? Why stick an adjective before 'trolls'? It's another pity me tacked on for no reason. It didn't illustrate a point, didn't add anything to the 'conversation'.

I cannot understand how she has had the platform she has for so long. If I pulled a hundredth of the crap she pulls my family and friends would call me out on it pretty damn quick.

I remember years ago making a woenis me, no one loves me, my life is the WORST post on Facebook. I was mortified the next day seeing my mother reply "what about me and your dad, dont we count?". Well, that stopped me acting like a fucking spoiled brat and I still feel the shame now.

Please do if you can, this is genuinely painful to listen to and greenbelt seems like an absolute mess.
Got a guy in the audience saying he gets his news from Russia Today as that’s who he can trust

I can't bear to listen to her either. I get so far and I have to call it a day.

I'm so bored I thought I'd check out that Edinburgh video on YouTube itself. 500-odd views (most of them originating from here I'd guess) since it was uploaded two weeks ago, and three lovely comments about Jack.
The limited knowledge of food is very true. Especially when she first started, but she has had lots of time to change that. She hasn't because she's a lazy entitled cow. She really could have a good food knowledge by now- could have learnt from the very best in the business if she'd been humble- and could have carved out a low-level successful career but she did nothing to further her knowledge or understand why the recipes that she was copying ever worked. That's why her substitutions make no sense and often ruin the recipe that she has ripped off from the BBC website.
I don't think she actually likes food at all that much- she went viral for one thing (which wasn't even cookery) and then made that her whole identity. Just because you struggled to eat (maybe) at one point it doesn't make you a good cook. I've been poor, I survived, but I couldn't have made a career out of that.

Lol she’s also said both 17 and 18 in the past.

I wonder if the “Somalian and Italian” will be surprised to learn that that honking dipshit furtively twatting around with their food was actually a 20 year old pretending to be 16?
