I hardly think I can speak for the cabal but I have witnessed no one ever sneering at low cost cooking. It’s a vital part of getting nutrition to people who are cash poor, time poor and who haven’t had a an education in home cooking and now want to feed their family. It’s part of the fury at Jack because she hijacks (ha) a really important resource for people and fills it with inedible slop. It’s so sad to think of people spending their money on her recipes and ending up with nothing good to feed anyone. I know I’ve done it - and have enough food in the house to be able to make something else when her recipe failed.I discovered JM via the Martin Lewis forum. I followed username Weezl as she put together a plan with veggie/vegan options to feed a family of 4 on £1 a day. Her plans archived on “cheap family recipes” website. JM was active as the bootstrap blogger at the time so was referred to on Weezl’s thread as another cheap recipe genre cook. Have to say, you can sneer all you like at Weezls sincere effort at very low cost family meals and the limited choices, but the ingredients are better quality, more varied and better tested than JM’s body of work. There were already better low cost cooks and bloggers than JM when she started out, and I cannot see any improvement in her work over the years. I found Tattle through Mumsnet. I’ve stayed for the entertainment from you thoughtful, witty, entertaining and caring posters. The vegans here plus the passionate viggle from LM Instagram have turned me vegan too, so if that’s what hanging out with a bunch of trolls does, it’s fine by me

Everybody loved Weezl on MSE.
It's JM that's making a fortune out of being so tit instead of people like Weezl who should have been making a comfortable living out of it.
Is that a waxwork of her?
I'd love to create my own recipe book. It would contain some really bizarre and out there concoctions. Like beans on toast 
once a week treat meal of cooked vegetables with a side of meat and topped with plain gravy peaches....on their own!!! No curry powder required
I'd call it poor not desperate, and I'm sure it would become the new modern way of cooking once people got over the shock of not having to eat mushy slop.

The kitten brought me the first time because I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. Then I mainly lurked because I’m invested in a couple of other threads but when she jumped on the coattails of Roadside Mum/Marcus Rashford and the school lunches stuff I realised exactly how bad she was and have started watching her in disbelief and commenting more. Never have I seen someone play the professional victim so well.
Weezl was so lovely and dedicated to it all. I was sad when she vanished. She did get a lot of criticism though, which, unlike Jack, she took very much to heart.
Bridge era Jack.
Some of the squiggles deserve what they get.
This from Facebook about the hoops nonsense, "love the fact you make something outta nothing...just like my mum".
Can I use tomato instead of tomato? How do you even manage to breathe?

How long before Bridge Jack starts howling and wailing about the trolls that traditionally live under them?
Isn't this the recipe she once threatened to sue her current brand partner over? Awks.
Hasn’t she got an overdue book she’s supposed to be working on? 
Who is her target audience with the bridge chat? Why isn’t she writing her tit book? This is even worse than the naked snow chat from yesterday. Does she understand that her agent/ employers/ clients can see this omg.
Spotted this on another thread and the idea it could be Jack herself who occasionally posts on this thread and has forgotten her username has entertained me no end (sorry op 
)
ETA for context it’s a response to someone saying they view recipes on an app that strips out ads (still, sorry op)

20 hour working days. No-one works as hard as Jack.
There was a picture of a loo on the forth bridge yesterday doing the rounds on twitter so she’s late as always.
ETA - As @Marmalade Atkins has just pointed out.
