It was like verbal diorrheoa last night , once she started there was no stopping her; anecdotes about Jarvis Cocker, meals and drinks at The Ivy and a ‘I was soooooooo poor, I know poverty more than anyone else’ pity essay chucked in to keep herself relevant .

To top it all Paul Heaton told her to ‘keep writing’, silly arse that he is , I hope Jackie Abbott gives him a verbal slap for that!

She can’t let the poverty slide despite being currently well off because she can’t do anything else other than cling onto the initiatives started by others or slag off people who don’t care who she is, whilst insisting she’s the voice of Britain’s poor, fuck right off love!

Let’s not make children’s poverty stricken lives worse by inflicting Horse Spunk Lassgne or overnight Carrots on them .

Jack , you’re a rubbish cook and so full of self pitying historical shit but keep it up , the thread missed you .

Nahhh


If it makes you feel better, this will totally screw with her SEO and google rankings and probably help all the stuff she doesnt want coming up on the first search page

Just read the blog. TL;DR - I rent my house. Me me me me me me.
Have skim read/GL the last few pages but my thoughts are that she knew this report was coming out, spent the last few days “being off Twitter” to compose her latest rant and the ARM tweet fell into her lap. That blog was always going to be posted one way or another.

Whilst she may have deleted Hunger Hurts it is in her first book and the Omega is referenced there

I do feel like a lot of that was a response to Tattle. Particularly the interlude where she starts ranting about royalties and the number of rooms in her dorma bungalow. But seriously, what a load of self indulgent shit. Food poverty has transformed since the months where you experienced poverty. Frame the debate at least partially around someone else ffs.

Still need to catch up on the last 5 pages but I’ve learnt a lesson...don’t read about JM before going to sleep otherwise you have eff’d up dreams...will put behind spoiler as a bit weird!

So in said dream I was on a school trip (assume my subconscious regressed back to then as it can only make sense of JM’s behaviour that way?!). Anyway I was on a bus (that was also a plane, fancy) and ended up sat next to her. She was a pain in the backside and harassed me so much both physically/verbally, let alone invading my space that other people asked for her to be moved which she was. Of course she played the victim and didn’t go quietly. We finally get to our destination and the scene changes and she’s chasing MOD (I swear I had no cheese last night) and suddenly it becomes a slasher movie and she attacks MOD?!?!?! It then turns into a scene from Greys Anatomy where MOD is saved in dramatic scenes while JM is hunted down and found back at the scene of the crime taking pictures!!! By which point I’m like ‘get me the f out of here’ and I end up at an apartment, unlock the door and lo and behold who has broken into my home - JM - and she’s pulling stuff apart to sell and inspecting my tinned goods. Thankfully I then woke up. Obviously m’lud it was all a dream.

I feel quite emotional after reading through this thread. She’s a bully and a horrible person. I wish blue tickers would stop egging her on.

I’m thinking her new book will be a memoir so she can reinvent her timeline, mashing it all together to make it fit after being called out so many times for inconsistencies.

Gosh I’m drained, there really isn’t anything else I can add apart from that I hope SB is at his Dads since she was up all night.

Well, Jack has summed it all up: thanking twitter for the 'fight and the fury.'

I won't give her the satisfaction of reading her blog.

This is so true. Who starts off on the property ladder in the dream house? Often you have to buy somewhere small in a cheap area. And if she can't afford a house on the living wage, why doesn't she pay herself a bit more? Lots of people are on the living wage because that's what they get paid, not through choice like Jack.

Why does she call them essays that last time I used the words essay I was at uni,. Now if I write something it's just something I have written. If someone told me now I have written an essay, would you read it. I'd imagine having to get my big red pen out like I did when my mates used to get me to proof read there's before hand in.

To be honest here next book sounds dull, I read alot and something so miserable would never appeal to me.


As I have said earlier people in poverty don't need books written about them or to them, they need voices so they can be given the chance to get out of it. She should be petitioning parliament in aid of poverty, she should be working alongside charities ( helping them raising their voices) so they can do more to help three people. Fair enough write your books but also and I mean this sincerely HELP them.

My brother is in his forties and rents, he's just had to give up a place he loves because it's costing him too much to live there. He's moving to a less nicer place, but affordable. Like everyone my brother would love to be able to afford to buy his own house and almost had the opportunity a few years back but again struggled to get a decent deposit even though the mortgage payments on the house were much less than he is paying now in rent. It's messed up. If you want a house missy lower your standards. I'd love a bloody great mansion but alas I am unable to afford one.
