Hilarious.

Ffs can’t just admit she’s wrong can she? What a dick!

On the restrictions, they aren't as non-sensical if you think about it.

A children's birthday party of 30 people - even outside - is likely to involve far more close, personal interaction than a grouse shoot on a moor (not advocating grouse shooting, just pointing out it's not a close contact sport.)

Similarly, at a wedding people are more likely to mingle with everyone there. The occasion usually involves hugs and dancing, even well intentioned people may let their guard down in the moment. However, if you go to a pub for a meal, you aren't going around and greeting everyone there.

The pubs are probably at their worst when people have drunk too much as reasoning breaks down, so a curfew that stops friday and saturday night drinking is not a bad idea (especially as getting wasted also puts pressure on health services.)

So the rules may seem a bit silly (the pub isn't guaranteed covid free at 9:59pm and a covid hell hole at 10pm), it's just a case of identifying which occasions, activities and places provide the best environments for covid to spread and limiting them.

Whether this will be enough, I don't know, but if you think about it you can understand what the reasoning is.

You know your problem? You are looking at this far too intelligently. Where's the fun in rational reasoning?

Hahahaha when was the last time even a shiterag scraped her tweets?? The David Walliams pile on? Honey, nobody cares about your bland-ass lib dem views

Also interesting she specifically uses the narc term 'flying monkeys'.

At least she acknowledges they are HER monkeys and SHE sends them

She is a political activist!!!

Really, really hope she stays locked on Twitter. I no longer have to see sweet, yet naive people retweeting her desperate attempts to be relevant.
Always taking from others & never giving back-be it recipes, views,experiences, lifestyle.
Someone I follow is about to be homeless right now & tweeting the council. I wish someone would send his tweets to Monroe & ask if she’d donate some of her bleeping patreon earnings.

Type her name into google news & there are articles going back to June on the first page of results <tumble weed.gif>

And don’t her followers cringe? That’s how she sees them-morons who she can manipulate.

I thought that! Then I thought I do hope as siblings that they are close and get on. At least it would give her boy a connection, stability, and a sense of belonging. Especially when he reads online how resentful she is of him.

I’m wondering if she’s a stepsister? I know that his strpmother had a baby some time after JM started blogging, so he’s got at least two siblings.

Completely agree with you. I was a bit flummoxed by the 10pm curfew. But after thinking about it, unlike some people, I realised that it's part of a balancing act. And that it means doors closed at 10pm. So, for example, our local's last orders will now be 9pm. PLUS all pubs/bars/restaurants etc have to move to table service. So may possibly have to have sittings. I know some restaurant/pubs with food service were saying this means they lose the last evening sitting. Which is obviously a blow to business but possibly not as bad as shutting up shop again.

Anyway, I thought Jackamel had a hot line to the government? What with all the committees she's advised. I thought they'd be asking her "What would you advise, Jacko? Give us your marvellous opinions and insight".

Indeed, is there anyone remotely interested,let alone fooled by Jack's lefty larping? In any case should the slowest news day since the press began happen I'm quite sure the tabloids will circumvent her locked account with ease.

Yet she admitted that she doesn’t like her partner to cook because she wants to be indispensable. Power and control with a side of nasty more like.

Twice in one day!

I wonder how that worked with Allegra? They did seem ridiculously in love but that relationship must have been a car crash. What was Allegra thinking?!?

It makes me smile to think of tattlers popping their head into such an active thread only to find pictures of regurgitated vegetables and people telling each other to duck off

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is not a cat in hells chance she'll stay locked down. She needs the attention too much. Next time she's rattling the begging bowl she'll unlock.

ETA Also unlikely she'd send any money to anyone in genuine need. Jack is after all the poorest person who ever lived.

Emmapism · Sep 23, 2020

17 days left until Jack is supposedly handing in her poverty porn opus.

She seems like she's right on track to hand it in on time and I bet her publishers are really looking forward to receiving this book they've heard so much about

Eurgh · Sep 23, 2020

I don’t even eat meat but a wild grouse shot on a hunt by some appalling rich twats has a far better life and death than the poor bastard pigs in those sausages and that bacon she’s feeding her kid. I know what I would prefer.

ETA definitely not defending hunting but how has she got the gall????

Why does she automatically assume that it's Michelin star restaurants everyone went to for EOTHO??? I went to my usual (non-chain) neighbourhood places, as, I'm sure, did most people.

Because when she went out to two in one day they were probs v expensive places (with terrible dress codes)

Jack telling people to wash their hands is hilair.

One of my friends is a Catholic priest. He pops round to ours for wine/coffee/gossip now and then...we watched Fleabag together over a few weeks and his comment was along the lines of “oh for fucks sakes” at the Priest bit.

Mind you Andrew Scott...I would. Sadly he wouldn’t as I gather his bread isn’t buttered that side.

Andrew Scott in my dreams....*sigh*
