I don't think Jack is left wing at all despite her saying she is. She's all about herself and her lifestyle which is all about the individual (her) which is quite a Tory mentality really.Thank fuck Marcus Rashford didn’t just whine on twitter that paying your taxes should be enough.
The day after the election last December I still followed Jack (up until about May this year I eye-rolled at her but had no huge opinions). That day she tweeted a lovely thing saying how terrible it was but that we’d all look after each other. At the time I eye-rolled that her main suggestion was that she’d sign every petition possible but she was also loosely saying donate to charities, food-banks, look after your community etc. It was obviously a version of what everyone was saying that day (probably copied and pasted from a comment someone with an ounce of intelligence made).
I remember it because I, like most left-leaning people, was absolutely fucking devastated by that Tory majority. I’d never really considered myself to be an activist before that day. I’d campaigned at most elections & I donated, signed petitions etc but so many did (and do) so much more. I kind of presumed that Jack was one of those people. As I cried (and made as many donations as possible to food banks and homeless charities) that day I made the decision to try and be more active politically by engaging with local politics/politicians, attending meetings etc & I’ve done it. It’s not much but it’s all I can do with the time that I have. All seemed lost that day and on many days it still seems lost. But the one thing it made me realise was that, whilst you may be powerless nationally, you’re not necessarily powerless locally.
I’m sorry that was long and a bit self-indulgent (if only I had 3 therapists on speed dial). It just really frustrates me. In the space of under a year Jack has gone from effectively telling people to mobilise locally to telling people it’s all the government’s responsibility. Of course it’s the government’s fucking responsibility! But this government don’t give a shit. Of course we need to highlight this constantly. We need to shout it from the rooftops. But at the same time we need to feed the kids.
Unlike the majority of us (including me), Jack has a platform. People without a platform can donate/volunteer (obviously only if they have the means/ability to do) & might be able to mobilise a few other people. But they’re limited. Those without a platform that also live in poverty and/or have chronic health problems that mean they can’t give time probably feel even more powerless. Jack has the time & possibly the money to help locally but she also has the platform to help both locally and nationally. She could easily mobilise people to volunteer/donate to places.
Saying that the government should be doing it and not providing real information about how people can actively help isn't good enough. Actively ridiculing people who try to do this is beyond deplorable. She’s gone past the point of futility and into the realms of dangerous.
Yep. She's not been asked back on tv to do cooking things (rest easy, Eamonn, Ruth and Matt), nor has she been asked back to do political things. She's just not going to be asked back, is she? And it's all her own doing.
The brazenness of these tweets back in March though...

This is why people were taken in initially. I remember seeing her on Sky right at the beginning, talking about how she was poor and writing her blog, and I took her at face value. But then she became uber-political and then changed her image all the time, and jumped onto every bandwagon. Even when she was with Allegra people realised she was a fraud and full of lies - and her reaction was to block everyone.Jack seems plausible if you don't look too closely, and then if you scratch the surface, the whole thing falls apart.
I am pretty sure that it is true, that certainly once it became clear to ManU that he was going to become a good player (from the age of 11 or so) that they would have helped with his family situation. However, he had the years before the team got involved with him.It’s crazy but there are apparently people commenting on social media (I haven’t seen it) that he wasn’t as poor as he’s making out, because the Man Utd academy took him earlier than they should have given his family’s financial situation. I don’t know if that’s true but so what if it is? That’s so typical isn’t it, rather than certain quarters giving the boy the credit he deserves, they’d rather discredit him!
Im so impressed he’s seeing the big picture and doing everything he can to help. That is appropriate use of a platform. That is caring. That is helping.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.Yep. She's not been asked back on tv to do cooking things (rest easy, Eamonn, Ruth and Matt), nor has she been asked back to do political things. She's just not going to be asked back, is she? And it's all her own doing.

That was what put me off her initially, the constant image changing. I just thought it was a weird thing to keep doing. Every change seemed to be just that bit more outrageous, and I got a bit sick of itThis is why people were taken in initially. I remember seeing her on Sky right at the beginning, talking about how she was poor and writing her blog, and I took her at face value. But then she became uber-political and then changed her image all the time, and jumped onto every bandwagon.

Totally off-topic, but it's like Devi Sridhar and Covid. She's constantly on TV but she isn't what she says she is. She has no medical/scientific background, comes from privilege, got her position through the Clintons, but she talks a really good game. And when she is questioned she blocks everyone on Twitter. It's a real eye-opener. That's why I google everyone I see on TV. I am pathetic......
Maybe she is restocking the puddle?I am happy to be called a conspiracy wanker, but I can also look on Strava and see in 2 minutes that LC started and ended her bike ride on Saturday within a couple of hundred yards of Jack's house.
eta: Louisa if you are lurking here, perhaps you need to lock down your Strava a bit.
Yes it's the hypocrisy I can't stand! David Cameron can't use a 'misty eyed rhetoric' over his late son (aka talk emotionally about his impact and passing) yet Jack "more jam, Mamma?" can?Oh my lord I had never seen those niche tweets as I just dived in without a Grunka!
I love how she refers to cooking with canned goods as 'her thing'. It just shows what a gimmick this poor me cooking on a budget schtick is for her.
She hates people calling their experiences 'a story' but it's okay to refer to it as her niche or her thing? Get to absolute fuck.
Reading this again, it’s actually more embarrassing now than it was then. This toddler tantrum got her DKL and she fucked it up so much with her endless “tech issues”, lack of basic food knowledge and passive aggressive lemon juggling.Yep. She's not been asked back on tv to do cooking things (rest easy, Eamonn, Ruth and Matt), nor has she been asked back to do political things. She's just not going to be asked back, is she? And it's all her own doing.

I'm actually a bit disappointed Louisa's been sucked back into Jack's life. She has a really good, interesting job, meets interesting people, etc. Maybe she's too nice and Jack has manipulated her and exploited her good nature.I am happy to be called a conspiracy wanker, but I can also look on Strava and see in 2 minutes that LC started and ended her bike ride on Saturday within a couple of hundred yards of Jack's house.

This was the beginning of the end for her. What an absolute idiot. Plus didn’t it come out that it was actually Jamie’s idea that he pitched to channel 4? therefore her name would never have come up.Yep. She's not been asked back on tv to do cooking things (rest easy, Eamonn, Ruth and Matt), nor has she been asked back to do political things. She's just not going to be asked back, is she? And it's all her own doing.
