But Jack won't do that.
Best she will do is yet another Me a culpa where she explains it isn't actually her fault.
I think 10k is the firm rules for a thread of their own but I thought it was 10k or public figure (blue tick used to be the standard but now Elon’s borked that!) for posting the uncensored screenshots.
She will absolutely show up at Greenmelt.
She knows support is fading. She's shown up at everything she's been booked at this year because she knows she can't afford to do a no-show. In the years when she was riding high, she could not turn up and people would just be concerned. Now she knows it looks bad and bar these low-end festival bookings and QT, what work has she actually had in the last twelve months?
Also, I was watching the Jimmy Saville documentary (bear with me) on Netflix last week and there was a psychologist on there who said that people like him who do bad stuff in plain sight have an undeveloped sense of shame. It made me think of guest because lots of people have said that had they been caught out doing the twattery she's done, they'd never leave the house. Even if the need to continue the grift is the driving force behind her showing her stupid face at these things, if she was a "normal" person, the absolute shame of knowing that people know what she's done would stop her. She's got no shame, hence the cringey hair dye post hot on the heels of the CCJ lies. She's just a terminal bleep.
I can't imagine any festivals booking her next year. She isn't worth the hassle.

"Ethos of accountability"
Oh, dear, oh dear me
*reaches for hanky as tears of uncontrollable mirth pour down cheeks*
*holds aching sides*
I must write that one down.
Oh Head in a Jar, you are back! I have missed you (both!) so!
I think your head in a jar space-portrait mode must have broken since last year though. Or you’ve been through a couple of very hard and stressful space millennia and space dust
since last we saw you. Something is different, anyway. (Apart from the dead shark eyes which look exactly the same)
Yeah, I wondered about the "couple of weeks ago" thing too - it suggests that they drafted the statement way back when the initial fuss was being made, and the delay in publishing it was the result of protracted negotiations with Adrian & Jack rather than being ostraching or laziness on Greenbelt's part.This bit in that Greenbelt statement:
That’s all they can find to praise her for? She won a couple of awards voted for by a random number of middle class people? Talk about being damned by faint praise. And ‘a couple of weeks ago’ was actually December. Like six months ago.
And welcome new frauen! May a chaos be granted to you soon
But since this final version still contains a bunch of backhanded compliments... what must the original have been like? If there's been months of wrangling over it, doesn't that suggest that it must have been much more strongly-worded to start with?
And if that's true then maybe there is a chance of further action being taken if there's continued pushback.
I wish this could be a thread title
And Jack couldn't wait to 'accidentally' inform the whole of Twitter of their break up.

And still can't find the apostrophe key.
I missed that - being a Twitter leper as I am, condemned to live beyond the TwitterPale and ring a bell every time I approach. Sometimes I'm grateful that I can't get back on, other times I want to rage against the machine . . .
I can just imagine how bliddy gleeful she will have been.
She's an absolute sh1tstain!

I’m actually curious about what she’ll come out with at Greenbelt this year. Last time she was there (DRAMATIC PAUSE), she exaggerated THE POV beyond anything she’d done up to that point and claimed for the first time to have been evicted. From that point on, THE POVERTY just became more and more luridly exaggerated- stealing food to survive! Sex work to survive! Metro sanny pads! Huddling on a mattress on cold floors (despite never selling the beds)! Eating out of bins! Multiple evictions!
It would’t surprise me in the slightest if she’s trying to decide whether to come out with the inaugural version of an even more lurid claim in an effort to drum up sympathy (see also Shattenstone and the 40 Trammies). Then she’s probably hoping she’ll get to warble another song and lay hands on someone in the audience again while the entire place goes into raptures.
It had better be good, guest!

Yeah, she does an awful lot of hiding in plain sight.
She relies so heavily on well-meaning supporters glossing over the contradictions and putting their own positive spin on the things she says and does. See all the squigs who still earnestly peddle the idea that she 'changed the way the ONS measures inflation' and 'got ASDA to bring back their value range'.
It's why her enablers in the media must take such a large share of the blame for her actions. If they were just a little less credulous, she wouldn't be able to get away with behaving so badly in public.
It's a direct quote lifted from the Shattenstone article, I think.
I’m going to be honest and say Greenbelt sounds as boring as duck. I can’t imagine anyone other than white, middle class, middle England frumps going to that.
The only times in my life I’ve had sex dreams about people who repel me were during my pregnancies, just saying.
What I want:
- Pausing the Patreon until she moves to entirely or predominantly digital rewards (higher rate subscribers could maybe get a physical birthday card/copy of her latests book on publication - stuff that can be fulfilled by external agents more easily than a poor smol pixie whose post office hates her). I've posted on here about how she can make patreon work for her in a way that doesn't involve her massively over-promising and failing to deliver.
- Refunds for everyone who asks.
- A forensic accountant to go through her income to identify the Sue Lee money and offer those people a direct refund.
- A full accounting for the teemill debacle.
- A full and frank apology that lays out, in detail, an accurate timeline from the start of The Pov™ and identifies the Sliding Doors moments - the points where she got so captivated by the beg/pound signs in her eyes that everything started slipping out of control.
- Separate twitter accounts for her "activism" and her thirst shots
- all fundraising to only go through legitimate platforms, keep her payPal and patreon for people donating to her personally, not because they think she'll donate it onwards/use it for legal activities.
- confirmation that her taxes have been paid, in full, (the forensic accountant can assist with this).
- either for her to actually start doing the work that people think she does. You know - activism, recipes, signposting towards help and support, speaking in parliament, or to step down and stop taking a space away from someone who can speak from lived experience of a life on benefits in precarious housing.
She'll show alright, precisely because of that. Don't forget, it was at Greenbelt they were practically calling for Jack to be sainted.
I'm pleased to have been mentioned here as a squig on my now deleted Twitter,Hello, new frau here, almost broke my keyboard in my haste to sign up when I saw registrations were open.
Have refrained from posting an origin story so far as I've been BUSY, but wanted to say hello, as I've been grunking here for about a year now.
I was a fan of Jack until I tweeted something about the Katie Hopkins case (cos duck KH) and someone told me to Google for Tattle and Jack, and Teemill. I got distracted by the Vonny threads as a friend used to work with herbut then back here I came to grunk for eternity.
I'm pleased to have been mentioned here as a squig on my now deleted Twitter, and this place has kept me sane when Jacko made me cross.
I'm an actual WC, ex pov, diagnosed ADHD and CPTSD having leftie, and having this pulsating buttmunch cosplaying makes me very cross indeed.
Thankspaceyou for all you do. I'll dip back out now and make sure my contributions are meaningful.
I am in AWE!
