I swear JM and SH are one and the same person.
They're the one two threads I post much on.. though very new to this one. I actually find their behaviour so fascinating. Very bizarre.

This attached tweet. *eyes roll to back of head* just unfollowed (was following from ages ago and never unfollowed). Need to stop noseying on her page its just too irritating.

I did post last week to see if anyone had ever seen SH and JM in the same room at the same time .....

Says in the files she was nearly struck off the register. It was then retracted end of Feb as they were shown reason as to why she shouldn't be struck off...

Also, the hilarious thing is Jack only got the growing Twitter attention from blue ticks and their sycophants because of the constant virtue signalling and butting in to online conversations that had absolutely nothing to do with food.

There has been a pattern of Jack jumping in to whatever is popular in the moment and desperately trying to gain attention, jobs and followers from it and shamefully that’s exactly how Jack is using this coronavirus crises.

I also spotted this when nosing st the companies house page! Can anyone explain what this means, and hypothesise any reasons why she might be struck off?!

I confess I'm not au fait with how companies house works. Though I would imagine it's to do with late accounts. I'm more intrigued as to what reasoning they accepted from her to retract their notice to strike her off! Wonder what pity story she gave

Accounts were due by 16th December 2019 and weren't filed, that will have automatically triggered the notice of compulsory strike-off. Her accountants have then got in touch with Companies House and gone, 'Really sorry, we're doing them, we'll file them shortly,' and got it overturned.

Just realised that the vegan banana bread from A Girl Called Jack (published 2014) that she shared on Twitter yesterday is almost exactly the same as the recipe that was posted on BBC Good Food in 2012
Just noticed this - the sugar content is different and yes she’s added some cardamon but the oil, self raising flour, cinnamon and banana measurements are the same. At the bottom of page, Jack states you can “tip the chef” if you want to, which takes you to her PayPal. But, she’s allowed ads on her blog - so she must be making a small fortune especially with everything going on at the moment. Un freaking believable.

Most recipes are just recycled but the fact that she considers sardines on toast to be "A Recipe" and worthy of a newspaper column is insane. I don't even think I'm cooking when I make stuff on toast because there's no skill or thought involved. Thank God we have Jack to save us from the Corona, one can of sardines or spaghetti hoops at a time.

In past interviews she openly admitted copying or adapting recipes from other chefs/ websites including Jamie Oliver, ironic.

In fairness the basic proportions of scones, banana bread, sponge cake etc are more or less the same across the board, can't reinvent the wheel
This is not a defence of Jack

I've just unfollowed her, again, on Twitter. Cannot stand seeing her self-righteousness tweets, saving us all from hunger, one tin at a time.
I see she's selling pictures of food now. I mean, fucking come on. She'll be the only one of us to come out of this horrific situation richer!!!
