Jack Monroe #133 Neither a celebrity or a chef

[Chablis1]

Maybe her bungalow is situated on a fault line? Thorpe bay earthquakes?

Lolz. I hope not as I live in the same area

The audacity of the woman putting out an official statement

She wants to talk to the pm. I think she was raging that old bojo phoned MR yesterday.
Oi bojo where's my phonecall? This is my life work and all?!

Has Jack killed anyone yet?

By the time she posted, The Guardian had the story - and did she create a fake Boris Johnston account rather than tag him properly? It has 26 followers - would expect the blue tick one to show before a fake one.

ETA - though that account has been around over 10 years, no likes or posts

One of the symptoms of a certain personality disorder is having an unstable sense of self and trying on new identities.

She does know that she's middle class at least, which is why she argues so hard to defend herself. In the following link found by @colouredlines a day or two ago, Jack wrote a song about herself in 2012 in which she explicitly refers to herself as middle class. In my opinion this shows the "working class" shtick is a conscious grift rather than a sad delusion. Maybe she impulsively lied some time after publishing these lyrics, found that she liked portraying herself that way, and soon found that this working class identity and persona was very beneficial to her brand.

A wonderful find.

Oh my GOD, that's toe-curling.

She hasn't even tagged the right account? It's all just such a massive cringe.

 

[Emmapism]

So professional and forensic

 

[Miss Anne Thrope]

Oh God that’s appalling.

On so many levels. (a) This implies strongly that the entire (albeit wobbly) working class persona is put on, and (b) her lyrics are laughably teenage. And she was doing this in 2012 at age 25? Sheesh!

Oh gosh it’s probably some poor guy with the same name. Like that John Lewis guy who’s a computer scientist in Virginia!

This really gives me the impression that she isn't working along with this. I mean surely you would get one spokesperson and use them to voice the messages. It just looks like alot of mumble Jumble otherwise and the wrong things get highlighted. Too many cooks and all that.

i mean this kindly softly gently, let it go and let them sort it, it's ok. It can still be you're life's work but you don't own all of poverty. It looks like it's sorted enough, I don't think MR will let this lie, so I doubt any child will go hungry. Go work on your other work.

 

[jeezlouise]

It makes me feel quite uncomfortable TBH. There are powerful politicians of many different religions, so "we're a Christian country, let's be good Christians" feels crass and inappropriate. Politics should not stem from religion.

Agree completely, making a political or religious point around this isn't helpful at all.

A child on Junior Bake Off just called trifle slop

 

[bowiethesdmn]

I'm hoping she'll enrage the K-pop stans. They seem pretty relentless when their dander is up.

I would (probably) kill to see this, K-pop stans are hilarious when they aren't being absolutely terrifying.

 

[Cariad]

Why does everything she cooks look and sound so unappealing....this looks like coffee beans or sultanas

[Geetbo]

Cannot wait till the government announce they’re giving all the kids an extra malt loaf so Jack can return to being the UK’s chief slop-peddler.

I’ve got lots of screenshots, I think admin are trying to fix things but they’re ready to post again if needed.
