QT has always been shit. It was shit back in 2014 when Jack was on. Once. As in Saturday Kitchen, I don't think she was invited back.

I think she has scores to settle.

Is this thread starting to remind anyone else of the dying days of the SODs? Maybe Jackie’s been assigned to Grace at Independent Talent.

Giving Farage a near weekly platform has been devastating for this country.

I am certainly not a Farage lover, but he has been on QT 38 times in 19 years. It works out at an average of 1.8 times a year, less than once every six months. Over exaggeration only serves to invalidate a statement.

It is my opinion that it is a dangerous route to go down to no platform people, it just drives extremists underground and they increase in number unseen. Better to have them out in the open and discuss and argue as to why their opinion is wrong. I am not saying that Farage's views were adequately debated, but who's views were on that programme?

I would liken it to Jackie's Twitter account. Jackie is the master of not allowing dissenting voices. It hasn't stopped us having our opinion of her, in fact it has hardened our view, and we are a growing band of dissenters. However it has had the effect of driving us into our version of undergeound, Tattle.

I think all views should be debated openly, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, the lot. They need to be seen to be argued against and their opinions shown to be wrong.

That was deep since I'm completely knackered after having a sleepless night last night. Here's to a more restful night.

ooh, we have tweets! she has white hot fury and is using a punch bag after writing her book for 12 hours, not including happy fun siesta time reading people's stories and then very importantly short listing, fact checking and filing. and she's looking for accessible and approachable solutions to... something but it's not working apparently. what???

oh idgaf, have a screenshot

I’MBUSY!

For a writer and self-proclaimed "scathing essayist", our dear Jackie doesn't half rely on hyperbole to make her point. Every anger is "wild", every rage "white hot", every joy the happiest she's felt "for months", and so on (and on and on and on). I feel this undermines what she says, (though she doesn't need additional help with undermining what she says). This should be of particular concern for the manifesto for change she says she's writing (HOW MANY DAYS LEFT?) - no matter how well intentioned, if it comes across as a GCSE level rant, it will have failed. Gawd bless her editor/fact checkers.

Oh I thought her tweets were public again but just checked and they aren't? I don't want to cause a row or anything but wasn't the consensus not to post them as she could claim we were screen shotting private tweets? I mean tbh she will claim whatever she likes but normally it's all baseless!

Definitely not my intention to tell people what they can and can't post but I'm uncomfortable seeing them if they're private. Anyone else? If I'm the only one I will shut my trap and observe from afar

Jacque c’est tres bellend n’est-ce pas?

I think we were taking the high road then she threw in the lies about pictures of her son being stolen and used for nefarious reasons which simply isn’t happening and the court threats so for me she can get to fuck. Mods confirmed ok to collect receipts so as Wayne & Garth might say: ‘game on’

I wasn’t sure about sharing the ones from earlier that she’d deleted and i’ve felt weird about it all evening so apologies. The one from yesterday that was about us I do think was fair as it was horrible.
