Letting a known scammer and fake pov have a slot on the program to tell lies about their experience is NOT the same as working with groups that allegedly help real povs (Trussell Trust, ugh) to help economically disadvantaged people attend the festival. What a load of sanctimonious BS this is.

Slightly OT, but the book about influencers that I mentioned earlier has a very good chapter on exploiting children as part of an online persona. Namely that since things on the Internet are forever, things that might embarrass children later in their life shouldn't be posted. If the children are old enough to decide whether they want to participate in the parent's influencing activities, they should be given that choice, and not have to participate if they don't want to. And if the parent is receiving payment or freebies for online posts involving their children, the children should get a percentage of whatever the parent/influencer is getting. Take heed, guest.
It’s so incomprehensible, especially as they’ve just barred someone for dodgy dealings. I wonder how many people’ll be put off attending as it just makes them seem like corrupt sycophants. I wonder if they hope the notoriety will attract sales.

It actually made me feel stupidly anxious seeing how often she referenced it! Partly ‘oh hell, everyone’ll think we’re all like that with this constant publicity’ and wondering if I’d be the same in that position.

But although I’m basically the incarnation of chaos I don’t think ND people are typically deliberately deceitful, and at this stage it seems very disingenuous of her to claim it was all an innocent mistake.

It’s also odd for a hyperfocus to be done so badly! I’m not sure if her recipies started well and then just fell off a cliff, but given what she does after years of practise I’m not keep on sampling the earlier work!

It puzzles me a lot, as you say we’re super aware of our weak points and incessantly apologising for them! It just feels like some other issue is in play for her to never express any remorse…
Totally agree, raising awareness is one thing, but giving us all a bad name is another.

I really appreciate it when other people with ADHD bring their views on how Jack talks about ADHD. I feel like it’s too personal to me, like I can’t distance myself enough to say if she’s lying about it. So I’m really glad when others can!

Jack's bio for Greenbelt reads like it was lifted straight from Kruger Cowne, which I imagine it was. Oxfam ambassadorship is mentioned in connection with events in 2013 and 2014, and the cringe-making 19th most important lesbian in 2014 is trotted out again. Numerous awards are listed, which I shan't date, but descriptions of what she has been involved in seem to stop at 2014 and reappear in 2023 with reference to her latest book.

Can no-one promoting her find anything to say about what Jack has been doing between 2014 and 2023? She has won numerous awards in that time, even if it might be difficult to find something to say about what they were awarded for.

I have been trying to find out in more detail what The Trussell Trust is doing at Greenbelt this year. In 2019 they collaborated with Jack, and one other person. There is a photo of her on the Trussell page from that year. This year they are collaborating with the other person from 2019, but not her. I wonder if she will be welcomed into the Trussell tent or if they will be emulating the 'I don't know her' Mariah Carey gif I see here so often.

I googled guest and greenbelt and a Facebook post popped up in the search results about guest and how much they love her, from 2020. But when you click through it seems to be gone. Have they cleansed all mentions of guest from their socials? Can anyone confirm?

I personally haven't had the time to experience that particular pleasure yet, although I did enjoy Honourable Frau Andy's slopalong of sorts when he was trying to review Grifty Kitchen (thankspaceyou for the screengrabs on here).
@People-huv-tae-know i was going to post a link to the sloppies but it displays my email when I click 🍉 the link.

for recent arrivals there is a link to all the sloppies in the wiki, well worth a visit.

Totally agree! It’s really hard to articulate clearly, but although I do believe she may have it, I feel instinctively that there is also a weird layer of falseness to how she presents it and frames it and that makes it feel very confusing.

It’s not like someone saying ‘I ducked up because of X’, it’s more like there’s an inherent dishonesty/lack of humility that uses it as an excuse to further itself, which is what people are reacting to?

Just for the newbies (used to have newbie Tuesday on one forum as that's when they could post)
She was caught wearing a watch that was released in March 2022, the year of summers then HH2 beg. No light bulbs, no hot water, boiled soap.
£7400 , bet she is furious about this
As I said I'll post this once a thread as it's abhorrent.
Do you have its recent sibling arrival breightling?

Yes, I have been grunking/lurking in real time as much as I could from first finding Tattle late last year, so saw this when it appeared a few weeks/months back. I was both horrified and disgusted at this blatant flaunt of wealth, when just a year ago she was "too poor for shampoo, hot water and light bulbs". Someone COULD say "well she CAN afford it NOW" but to afford a £7k watch cos funz & savingz you must be absolutely RAKING it in on the regular. Not just one-off. Not just one year. REGULARLY. YEARLY. I have been a genuine pov (won't bore you all with the story now) and even during some of my 'better' years since, I didn't even earn in wages/collect in welfare anything close to £7k within those 12 months.

If she was HONEST about her income/lifestyle (no need to disclose anything, just stop the povplay) I geniunely wouldn't give a tit about what she was sinking her money into. (Maybe slightly irritated that she wasn't giving her Patrons owt for their hard-earned, but that's on them too, if they're still subbed after receiving nowt for months.) It's just the performative stuff, the povplay, that gets on my (large and often in the way) bits when her income is CLEARLY nowhere near as low as even a working class income, let alone a pov one.

It's weird, it opens for me then goes to a spinny wheel. So don't know if Zuck's gone off cage fightin and messed the code or if it's deleted, but I've never opened it before so not like it's cached in my app. Managed to snap it though

I think 'divides public opinion' will absolutely enrage her. It's the sort of thing usually only said about people like Farage. Well meaning people reading that will probably Google Jack Monroe Controversy and find these well searched pages. Hiiiiiiii
let’s annoy her some more

Just had a look on chrono24, and be lucky to get £6000 for that kettle now. That is some forensic investment
You see, a sensible person would have known to get a Rolex Daytona as an investment piece. Breitlings are idiots’ ideas of a posh watch, just as Jack is a middle class person’s idea of a poor person.

It must have all been shoplifted from Superdrug then.
It’s the inexplicable and easily disproved lies isn’t it

and the honking

and the sniffing
Well, is it entirely possible I am you, but to be sure I have devised this maverick little test:

Are you currently sitting in front of a tower fan because nearly all of you is swelteringly hot, except for your feet, which are freezing, so you are wearing a pair of jaunty Greek (Cypriot) pom-pom slippers you bought from a wheelbarrow in Corfu?

If you can answer yes, I am indeed you, and you are me and we are all together. We are the walri.

If not, I'd still like to be your twin sister. We can go to hotels and terrify people.
I love that you have the untitled goose avatar! I took my kids to a gaming exhibition and they had it there and I was laughing, and badly made this when we got home.

All the new members: WELCOME.

But also calm the duck down. I know you’ve waited years to post here. But you’re running the risk of peaking too soon. Reverse pool hustling, if you will.

Welcome though! It’s lovely to have you. Tea, anyone? 🫖

As an autistic frau it's not just her food that makes me want to vomit. I'd hate other people to think we're all like her. I try not to make my neurodivergence my personality. My oh hasn't left, I work(!) and it's not easy but I bumble on

Lol remember clean-shaven-neckbeard John who we briefly and erroneously thought was married to Cathy Newman? He’s sniffing Jack’s moist seat volunteering at Greenbelt. Cranks of a feather godbother together and that.

I think “John” starred in Home and Away. Too much 1990s Aussie lingo there. Was he Tom?

Sorry for the random posts. I’m waiting up for an emergency plumber and passing time with a slug or ten of 🍻

Oh my goodness! I go away for the weekend to have a LOVELY TIME with my WONDERFUL FRIENDS, surrounding myself with LOVE, HUGS and Endless Cups of Tea, and I come back to find I can join the canal!

I've been enjoying watching you all manifest your misery for several months now, and you have had me 🦉🍾 on countless occasions, so thankspaceyou!

I became aware of guest around the time of Hopkins. Initially I thought, "excellent, Hopkins is terrible, this is great news!" and left it there really. Then, her posts started appearing more and more in my timeline, and I thought, "oh, I think that's the person that beat Hopkins in court. Okay, cool!". And then...I don't know really. I felt like the "smugification" just got too much (although admittedly at this point I assumed there was far more good than bad going on).

I got disproportionately annoyed when she told the story of how she said thank you to siri on a train platform and a man collapsed in a fit of laughter, children with tears in their eyes brought her bouquets of flowers, and the train passengers gave her a standing ovation. And then not long after, I read awfullymolly and thought, "...oh...".

I have no time for scammers and grifters whatsoever and I think during covid it really became apparent just how many there were. However, few seem to have this level of public profile, which makes me feel really uneasy about the whole situation.

Anyway, delighted to be here. Toot toot!

As an aside, are we anywhere near breaking the record for the longest twitter lockdown? It feels like it has been quite some time now.
