What the hell is "laid back in a slightly exhausting way"?
Cringe,cringe and more cringe reading that.

I love how everyone just calls him Shattenstone now. Makes me laugh every time.
I don’t even want to google what his real name is now!

btw I was fully in the mither like dither camp until I was on a teams call last may with a north of England chap And he said my-thering and I had a light bulb moment as I had never heard the word in real life before!

I’ll forgive Jack if she provides a recipe for leftover chippy chips

I won't go on about Scamanda but she was also heavily loved by the church and most of her donations were from there. They are easy pickings I imagine if you are a grifting piece of cack.

I do find their press release very telling. They are trying to be Christian but it comes across more passive aggressive to me , but also patronising. A tent for povs. How splendid. Get the pork scratchings and potted meat sandwiches ready, I hear they like that sort of stuff Mavis.
It’s very typical in that they’re more keen on a nice rousing Testimony and Forgiveness Arc than actually enabling a system where people can eat. I bet people are only listening to this nonsense because they were promised cake when it’s all over.

It’s like the local soup kitchen where denizens have to thank the lord for their good fortune and go through an absurd song-and- dance before being invited to actually eat something tangible.

I lasted 43 seconds. She laughed at her own tit joke and that was me done.

I used to be an active member of DS many years ago and had a little following at one time (because outrageous, but sadly they changed)
There’s many a DS exile here…✋

You had a following? OMG you’re Mr Blonde aren’t you?!

I just clocked your avatar and nearly fell out of bed laughing!

God, her singing...for someone so average she fully rates herself.
It seemed suitable to be such a judgemental-looking animule. (Albeit fuzzley and no doubt chill about being used as an animate sofa ).

Her last Greenbelt talk is still up, if anyone can stomach it https://www.greenbelt.org.uk/talks/i-was-hungry-and-thirsty-were-you-there/

If not, here's Greenbelt's description of it -

That has to be the most nauseating spaff I have ever read in my entire life. And I was a teenage Goff who wrote "Poetry" FFS.

If Jack wants peace she should maybe start the by repentance for being a liar and a fraud. I'd imagine a tortured conscience could sting like heck.

The Greenbelt statement says “she deserves a chance to do better”. FFS - she’s been on the scam for years. YEARS. What about the Kickstarter, for example? The endless begging. The compulsive lying about every damn thing. She’s had more than enough chances to do better. And yet I’ve never heard anything resembling contrition, or even sincerity, from her. She’s not sorry.
Did she sound contrite in that Guardian article? Or did she just sound like it was all a bit of a giggle? After all, she’s been getting away with it for years, aided and abetted by her blue tick mates and sponsors like Trussell Trust and Greenbelt, who never held her to account. Why should she change now?
That's an important element, for sure - the blithe "lol what can I say? I'm a chaos! Tee-hee! Just a wee smol adorable chaos! You wouldn't be so cruel as to hold me accountable, would you?" act. It's an extension of the "not my fault because bad mentals/ADHD/etc, my actions are not only beyond my control but also completely excused" thing with an added gloss of "look at me" twee. 🤢

I've come round to the view that Simon thingy absolutely stitched her up in a brilliantly subtle way.

this just reads like Jack herself wrote it 😭😭😭
Jack or her agents probably write all the publicity blurb bits for appearances.

I don't know how it works really.
Greenbelt probably just organise to have a festival and call people to see who would like to come Agents book their clients into those spots and provide the blurb.
I don't think Greenbelt or other festivals necessarily contact people directly to invite them.

Be like me saying we're having a Tattle Festival, and then saying who wants to come? And the first 10-15 replies get a spot. As opposed to me contacting the individual posters I'd want to come.

(Imagine a Tattle festival... Loads of people huddled in gazebos taking the piss out of celebs... Yel would be the security guard checking your bags and booting you out if you tried to bring in a bottle of gin)

I think the best possible outcome in this whole debacle would be for Jack to give back the money (unlikely) and be adopted like an expensive pet by some nice but dim reclusive landed gentry person in the back of beyond, for her Twitter presence to continue on its path to disappear from public consciousness and as a bonus no-one else needs to have her 'help' or 'cooking' or 'writing' or 'singing' or 'work' inflicted on them ever again.

And all the books recalled and pulped. Lifetime train ban. No more pets.

Yes, you nailed her act. Like when she started the patreon & anyone who questioned it ‘well you’re just not very nice’. The eternal child who mistakes irresponsibility & selfishness for cutesy characteristics. She’s not like the rest of the human race y’all.

Greenbelt have finally issued a statement about Jack. TL;dr we like Jack, we’ve all made mistakes, we’re getting some actual povs along too and we think this cancels out her cosplay.

From the statement:

Jack’s is not the only or most important voice

As a thread title suggestion.

Oh my goodness, I've been listening to the Greenbelt thing again (god knows why, I just like to punish myself I guess???) and I've got to the bit (23 mins in) where the man in Budapest sidles up to Jack in the swimming pool to tell her how great she is. But .... Jack can't swim!!!! What was she doing in the swimming pool?????

Jan 2013. Can you believe this was her actual newspaper column?! Southend Echo has a lot to answer for indulging her in all her nonsensical tit, way before the Guardian came calling View attachment 2283619View attachment 2283614
ETA here also is a very early precursor to ONS changing the way they measure inflation where Jack (writes yet another tedious letter “to the newspaper” in which she) attempts to take all the credit for something that’s duck all to do with her.

Grunking but I seem to recall someone else giving her credit for this - (was it get cape wear cape fly they've interacted before but I can't find the tweet I'm thinking of?)
The tweet said something like "I remember how you're responsible for them putting cameras in the council chambers"

I wondered at the time about the origin, but if it was literally her musing over something in her paper column, that's ridiculous. I'm guessing she heard someone talking about it who was actually campaigning to make it happen...wrote about it, then it happened.

Found it!

Cretinous fool. Does she understand why the three companies failed, especially Jessop? (Hint - it happened at the time when buying online started to become popular because it was cheaper. And her a 'photographer' and all).
Get a job, guest. A real one.
Morning/evening, Vali.😊
The quality of cameras on mobile phones (the irony) was also a big factor!
