I bet it’s designer. Can anyone triangulate?
Totally agreed.

We know that most of the squiggles don't follow her all that closely - look at the numbers who would mention Mrs J to her comments months after She Left.

There are also a lot of people who've joined these threads who start out by saying "I always liked Jack Monroe because she helps the poor" or "I have a soft spot for her because she sued Katie Hopkins". This is what she is to the average squiggle, I think - she pops up periodically and they think good on her!

A lot of squiggles never make her recipes because they're not poor, but they like the idea of povs eating healthy. We know that her recipes are tit, but they don't. If they do make a recipe, they'll usually tweak it unthinkingly, so they don't experience the full horror. Or they'll go "ahh she's an uneducated urchin but she's doing her best!"

Plus a lot of people genuinely forget how long ago her "poverty" was, or don't know the backstory - they think she's WC, that her partner beat her or walked out on her when she was pregnant, that she has no support, etc. And she never corrects these misconceptions, of course.

I cringe whenever screenshots are posted here of that small group of Twitter profiles that are always criticising her. They aren't going to unmask her; they just feed into her narrative. What we will see is more squiggles gradually doubting things and investigating, but there will be no grand Scooby Doo villain moment.
Agreed completely. Between the transgender identity & having Mark Lewis on speed dial absolutely no one will want to touch that exposé with a barge pole. This is also why she doesn’t get the JM pours herself into a seductive diamanté denim number whilst popping to Wilkos Southend pap pics she so desperately craves 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh that and the fact she’s so inconsequential, a legacy Twitter profile that yields under 20 replies per tweet 🥴 Honestly tattle are the only ones hanging onto her every word and it’s just so we can make our entertainment.

The thing is we do just watch for a laugh, and it’s cheesy but the lols are truly based in the coven they’re not from her? We’re not Nelson pointing and laughing like LOOK AT HER we’re making our own comedy on these threads and most of the funniest bits are not at her expense (traaazers, Alan, vlad). Yes she’s thieving from people but duped nanas giving £20 out is a tale as old as time, if it wasn’t JM it would be the tissue men on the tube or a bloke who knocks on their door and duped them into paying a grand to have their guttering cleaned. Yes it’s wrong but it’s the way of the world 🤷🏻‍♀️ She’s trash for it and she’s gotta sleep w herself at night (and all day 😉)

... that’s next-level dedication.
Thank you. Took three years as a guard then two long hard years of training but I drove my first train on my 50th birthday. Bloody love it, the railway is a great inclusive friendly place to work. I recommend to anyone.

It’s looking at photos like these which make the work she has had done so glaringly obvious
Agree with this in theory but when looking at old photos, am not knowledgeable enough to identify what type of work it is that has likely been done. Is there any of the cabal who has the knowledge and opportunity to explain?

No sign of ‘Military Jack’ this morning? I would have thought she’d get her Mediterranean a out of bed for Rememberance Sunday but no .....,,,,, an automated tweet with dry oats.
I’m back off to thread 10- I’m catching up on all her tit. It’s exhausting to read, how does she live like that?
She posted her whinge about splinters whilst the last post was still being played. As she is someone who is 'military round the edges', that did surprise me (that didn't surprise me.)

Screenshot as she'll most likely delete:

People are telling her it may need surgical intervention 😂😂😂

Really, with the NHS on its knees, you are advising her to go to hospital with a splinter? Come on squiggles.....

ETA I shouldn’t have put the 😂. I am not 😂. I am furious that people think you should go to hospital for a splinter when operations are being cancelled.

Long post alert! Just like Jack gives gracious permission to photograph her recipe to send to a squiggle, I will permit you to ignore all of this.

I often read posts here (and have possibly posted some myself) which discuss the future downfall of JM. There've been a few posts on Twitter recently to that effect, too.

Dear hearts, I don't think it'll happen. The main reason is that no one cares enough. She's not big enough, she's not known enough, most people wouldn't care about a story about her one way or the other.

The vast majority of people who do know of her and even follow her, still don't see who she truly is. We've discussed this before, but it's so easy to see how the average squiggle misses half her chaoses, because she's so quick to delete. How many times have we had the great @Silver Linings , @xoxo , @Marmalade Atkins and others post a screenshot of something that disappeared within seconds?

The Whiter Than Mayo is a great example. She makes a tone-deaf video. Most people don't view it, some do and praise her, some do and ask questions. She says she'll donate proceeds. The video vanishes. Who (other than us) is really going to keep track of that? If anyone were now to call her out on Twitter or YouTube asking where the video is, whether she's donated the proceeds, etc. it's so easy for her to say 'I deleted it because I was getting abuse for supporting BLM and yes, I've donated the money'. If someone then asks for receipts, I can see how it could come across as bullying (for the record, I don't think it is). But it feeds into the narrative of 'I'm just a poor, single mum on the right side of history and people are constantly trying to bring me down'.

The current butter-gate is another good example. She claims she can't afford butter. Anyone here following her closely, reading each and every thought she posts can see that it's not about butter. It's about claiming she's poor when she isn't, it's about pretending you can't be vegan or veggie on a budget, it's about being so hard up you have to constantly dream up maverick ways to eat and ultimately it's about getting Patreons and filling that tip jar. Two minutes later she's making miso butter aubergine (and abomination of a dish). If you now go and query her use of butter, it's easy to see how that sounds mean and petty to someone who hasn't followed along in detail. I mean, for goodness sake, she's just a poor single mum who is cooking with butter - how can that be wrong? Why would you question that?

And on it goes, I'm sure we can all think of eleventybillion examples.

Reading the comments under this comment from her (CBA to screenshot, it's on here already) is enlightening



It's clear that many people haven't got a clue that she's talking about 'online trolls' or 'tattlers'. Given how many times she talks about here or general trolls, I can only conclude that much of her audience doesn't pay close attention to her. And because of that, they will always think that questioning voices are bullies.
I wonder what the average time someone closely followers her (as in, actually paying attention) is before they see the light? I feel like her followers are dispensable - it doesn't *matter* to her if she loses them because of her lies, because there are always more fish in the sea.

Incidentally, when did she become public again? Is she no longer concerned about security?

Hello all, I have a ton to catch up on-I’ve been BUSY (those sandwiches won’t eat themselves & pissing takes it out of you) but I’ve just seen Jack’s fridge on Twitter.
No doubt someone’s already triangulated it but that’s 100% a massive Smeg-I have the same fridge but I worked to earn the money to buy it & don’t go around pleading poverty and asking for people to donate to fund my life. And we got a discounted one because it has a big dent.
How in the name of god does she get away with it? I didn’t see a single person on Twitter mention the recent poverty claims. Goldfish.
Oh and also will she LEAVE MARCUS ALONE ffs? Hearts on Twitter don’t do Jackshit
