She’s made some comments about being forced into prostitution but she doesn’t elaborate much. Which is her choice.

It’s the fact that she mentions it at all that concerns me. She’s got a kid who is one day going to read her worst and embarrassing moments online
Is there any marginalised identity she won't co-opt to bolster her own victim narrative? What pisses me off is she never advocates for anyone but herself. Never once seen her boost trans rights or sex worker advocacy orgs. It's always "completed it mate" and move on.

Literally doesn't give a tit about showing solidarity in a meaningful way, it's always all about her.

Can someone get the receipt for when she dramatically came out as falling off the wagon once and resetting her sober streak? Because that =/= having multiple slips and glasses of wine whilst being sober.

I can’t take anyone seriously who posts up recipes for peach and chickpea curry

The mere thought of it is beyond disgusting

Just read what she says about it here! https://www.theguardian.com/film/20...ken-loach-director-film-movie-benefits-system

'It was hard to sit and watch that film as a piece of entertainment when it felt more like a documentary on my life.'
This one includes one of my all-time favourite Jack quotes:

The woman beside me, a stranger, squeezed my forearm as I choked on guttural, involuntary sobs. I’m sorry, I whispered, sloping out to punch a wall in the corridor and cry into the blinding, unaware streets of west London. I looked mad. I am mad.

I love that one too!

Her reason for no longer being vegan: 'I've got arthritis and my joints were like 'hello we need some omega 3 and tit''.
I guess the 'tit' bit explains eating the lowest welfare meat you can get.
but 30 seconds on Google would give vegan options for omega 3 &6.

Most of them available in Asda.

Oh my goodness, when she is saying what jobs she's done she says she was a prostitute.
And an explanation for the hair crop was because the undercut was growing out and looked awful. Not a mention of hair loss.
Dear God, she is just awful, or to quote her in this podcast, she's "ridic"
I wouldn't ride her into battle.
(She'd have to supply her own ballgag too, I wouldn't want to hear from her AT ALL!)

Guys! Have we ever listened to this podcast before? Skip the first 20 mins as the hosts just waffle on and on about boring crap but I'm 5 mins into Jack talking and she's already claimed to work 21 hours a day, mentioned that she looks ill and insulted the hosts by saying 'you look how I feel', complained about how stressful lockdown larder is and made a reference to paying the rent...

Adenoids sound REAL swollen

I got as far as "I'm Jack Monroe a food writer and I specialise in making meals out of thin air and dust" This followed on from the bullshit about working 21 hour days and sounding like she's got a mouthful and a half of plums in her goblin gob. I really can not bear to even listen to her any more.

What I could bear to listen to:

1. She doesn’t ignore anyone’s Lockdown Larder requests. (Chip shop chips ...)
2. She’d judge someone for asking about foie gras (stones and glass houses Miss Posh Cheese and Duck Eggs)
3. She doesn’t want anyone to eat jellyfish but if they eat the wrong type they can ‘sue someone if it all goes wrong’.
4. She was vegan ‘for quite some time’ but she is ‘fickle’ and people who have a problem with her not being vegan anymore are ‘pricks’.
5. She really enjoys reading the range of opinions that people have about her - something to do when she’s not working 21-hour days. She loves to read the wild and false conspiracy theories about her and ‘laugh horribly and hollowly’. Hahahahaha.
6. She’s eaten bollocks.
7. She misses the attention and ‘glowing articles’ in The Daily Mail.
8. If Twitter likes were money she’d be able to pay her rent.

I couldn’t get any further as I started to simultaneously dry heave, laugh, and cry hollowly and horribly.

Wasn’t she compiling some files of information from poor people to write a book about 👀
I am also eagerly waiting for the list of artists to be helped in Covid times...but I am very very sure she will do this well in advance before Christmas.
She has defo forgotten about that, too.

On another note: I HATED her biting off that dino sweet thing she was supposed to give to her son. I am struggling to define which aspect exactly is so offensive. It has got an element of aggression to it. A symbolic act that everything needs to be about her, I guess. Food is so fundamental, she should know that. To deprive her son a whole treat is off.
Yes to the holiday situation. She seemed to only ever have gone away without him. I give her the benefit of the doubt but since she is so much into bragging, why would she leave out a situation to prove what lovely things she has done for him, so he wasn't part of it. No theme park days or other nice things you could treat a child to.

Fingergate: if there had been a hole in her finger, we would have seen a pic to prove. Why would she have shown numerous plaster pics but not the gaping hole after she apparently pulled the splinter out. These are the red flags. Oversharing of tit but not the relevant stuff.

As opposed to...voluntary sobs?

what is needed is basic foundations of good cooking, with versatile recipes that can be swapped out easily, not endless World of Pure Imagination and yellow sticker randomosity.
I think this deserves at least a yasss queen with a small 'y'.

I am back from my outdoor exercise. Everything hurts. I'm lying on my sofa staring at some eggs wishing they would luxuriate themselves.

Nobody suffers as I have suffered. Woe is me etc.











Nah just kidding it was great! I will be paying for this tomorrow I expect.

I believe the eating his food is a dominance and control thing. Saves her pissing on his stuff.

It's funny when she complains that the Mail are now her biggest fans - have they changed or have I changed, wonders Jack 🤪. She also admits to having some ~slips~ with alcohol, and says she's had a few glasses of wine with meals - "I'm not perfect" etc 🤨. And is it just me or does she sound really, really posh in it, especially at the start, before her 'character' takes over.
I can't bring myself to listen to it, but when did the daily mail last publish story, either negative or positive about Jack.

I think they are keeping their powder in case channel 4 does anything to piss them off, then they can go for LC 's jugular via Jack. Begging on the internet when you have a very high earnng live in partner is never a good look.

So it’s all pesky Cooper’s fault! Did she not say he came home with fauna etc on his fur after, ahem, “going missing” on Bonfire Night....😱

Well at least she knows he can’t call out her bullshit...
Cooper is currently writing a big tell-it-all book. Got an advance, collected it on bonfire night.
