I think she’s going to go for the long con with it. It will be thirst for the next day or so, then peeing a lot, then really tired, then “my breath smells like pear drops anyone know why?”
I think she’s going to go for the long con with it. It will be thirst for the next day or so, then peeing a lot, then really tired, then “my breath smells like pear drops anyone know why?”I have a horrible feeling she's about to diagnose herself as having diabetes.
I’ve recently discovered ketjap manis and wowzers it’s transforms a dishSatay sauce is the best, I love it so much. I make it Indonesian-style with ketjap manis and vary the rest (sometimes I make it with coconut milk, other times I leave it out sometimes with garlic, sometimes with onion etc. There's so many varieties).
I think Jack tries to emulate it sometimes by popping peanutbutter into her weird noodle creations, but she never seems to add any other ingredients like Ketjap to make it taste good/create depth.
She had a green bean /peanut recipe (not sure what the rest of the ingredients were) that tasted of nothing when I tried it. Probably because she doesn't know how/when swapping things is fine and what ingredients are actually essential for the basics of a dish.
(ETA People, get yourself some ketjap manis for the next time you want to add something to your noodles)
They want someone to organise and coherently summarise ALL the receipts? That would take a crack cabal of hausfraus working 57 hours a day for <checks watch> 12.5 months of the year. It'll never happen...please provide further details...
Oh I love ketjap manis. We had it in one of our Hello Fresh meals and I bought a bottle the next daySatay sauce is the best, I love it so much.

The first hand experience thing is a flimsy justification for hate speech, and I'm shocked the Guardian would use it as a defence.Still on previous thread and I'm sure this has already been covered but by others...
But I've just received a response from the ed's team at the Graun. Basically the use of the word 'feral' was justified with 'it makes sense in context of the interview even tho derogatory' but they did agree to remove it from the photo caption as that had no context.
Apparently they received a few complaints so refresh your inboxes, cabal.
ETA - apparently its also OK cos its JM's first hand experience.
Can you imagine us rocking up to the Guardian offices with a suitcase full of bulging ringbinders containing her old blogs and a detailed deposition showing that she’s lying about her time in povertyThey want someone to organise and coherently summarise ALL the receipts? That would take a crack cabal of hausfraus working 57 hours a day for <checks watch> 12.5 months of the year. It'll never happen
Because she is utterly traumatized by it and still has PTSD. Clearly because she never ever thought she would have to stoop so low. It’s a real giveaway of her views about poverty.What kind of saddo must you be, if the first thing you can think of to introduce yourself, is that you once used a food bank, 10 years ago?
Give her a few months and she'll be "on it".
Jack being a 'divisive' figure seems to have actually helped her in this particular instance, as if that's the only reason complaints have been made? they don't even seem to have considered that people could actually find the language she used incredibly upsetting and offensive.The first hand experience thing is a flimsy justification for hate speech, and I'm shocked the Guardian would use it as a defence.
I grew up partly in South Africa. If I were interviewed by the Guardian and I used heinous, dehumanising language to describe the black people I knew as a child, "first hand experience" would be - quite rightly - no defence.
Jack Monroe grew up in a position of extreme privilege over these fostered children. Her use of "feral" is just vile.
Totally - that last line ("We have had a few other complaints about the same issue and will be sending a similar response to them too.") makes it clear they think this is some sort of coordinated attack.Jack being a 'divisive' figure seems to have actually helped her in this particular instance, as if that's the only reason complaints have been made? they don't even seem to have considered that people could actually find the language she used incredibly upsetting and offensive.
argh, the fucking Guardian.
Hopefully it will at least give them pause to consider giving voice to someone else next time, and not doling out exposure to their Groucho Club chums.Totally - that last line ("We have had a few other complaints about the same issue and will be sending a similar response to them too.") makes it clear they think this is some sort of coordinated attack.
Jack just casually dropping that in so you can't tell if she just was a bit competitive about about skipping lunch, but then had a pie 'cause the co op had no ski yoghurt or had to be sectioned into specialist careDid we know she was anorexic? Or more accurately a former grammar-school anorexic
Then she will forget about it until she has done another chaos and needs some TLC from the blinkered squiggles.I think she’s going to go for the long con with it. It will be thirst for the next day or so, then peeing a lot, then really tired, then “my breath smells like pear drops anyone know why?”

I’m so furious about the first hand experience response. I also have first hand experience of care both as a foster child and working with children in care as an adult. I would use the words vulnerable and challenging but never something as dehumanising as the word feral. The use of that word tells me everything that I need to know about how she views her lived experience and the person that she is. Fuck you Monroe and fuck you The Guardian. Recognise your privilege and stop talking down about people less fortunate than yourselves that you really don’t have a fucking clue about.
Would other papers/journalists be interested?Then she will forget about it until she has done another chaos and needs some TLC from the blinkered squiggles.
