Jack Monroe #150 Haven’t you got peas to discuss?

[Begborrowsteal]

Yes, I remember we said at the time that whoever gave the kitten to Jack was completely out of order too.

100%. One of them mass breeders innit.

I cant believe she documented what was essentially animal cruelty and she got away with it. And that bleep Vix.

 

[Captainmouse]

Oh my god, I've never been on her website before! That's where the recipes are hiding?!?! Prawn cocktail with caramelized grapefruit?! Is she extremely low output or is my expectation of food bloggers wrong, I got to the second page and I've already hit pancake day last year (and been summarily put off pancake day this year....)

But they are not free as all visits, clicks on her website generate income

I’ve done a miso aubergine thing of his as it was recommended on here. Was very nice.

Oh that’ll go down nicely - we love Japanese style flavours here. And hot/spicy, obviously...the kids are pretty good at trying new things. Thank you, I’ll have a go at that one.

The other one looked really good, too...and I’m now down a vegan rabbit hole, looking at sticky spiced tofu and fifty shades of yum! Cheers for this, really appreciate it.

 

[Captainmouse]

Wonder if the viggles know about the abandoned rabbit in the Baltic garage?

Look what is linked to underneath the aubergine recipe!

Is it good web design practice to not be able to see any of the content when you first land on it? And I STILL can’t find out how to get to the next page!

 

[Mogmog]

Exactly! This is why it’s all so wild. She chose to take a paid partnership, and couldn’t even be bothered to even pretend to be vegan for a month. Not saying that would have been a good idea, but it just shows how arrogant she is that she thought suddenly saying too much about veganism too late would be enough.

ETA. Forgot to add my point, which is that somehow she’s become victim in this, then you remember she’s howling and clawing over a job that she happily accepted and would have been well paid for.

I have a feeling she might try to say something to try and guilt trip us more. I hope I‘m wrong, but she’s lashing out everywhere. If she dials up the pity party, everyone just remember your reasons to not feel sorry for her.

Exactly. She could have said "I'll working with Linda McC for veganuary and so in honour of that, I'll be taking part in veganuary myself'

 

[Tabitha D]

I’ve not been on the website for ages as I try not to give her the clicks but I’ve just had a look; there are SO many adverts and I’ve looked 3 times but I can’t see how to get to the next page

It’s also impossible to find the search engine (which should be right at the top of the page), and the text is too small. It’s a bit of a mess.

I left the house for the first time in a week and found a fallen one

Goooood Morning, Canal,

100% vegan Brian Butterfield reporting for duty!

Just checking in to say that Jackfruit is 100% rank and Jackie is a 100% bleep.

As you were

xxxx

 

[bladiesla]

Exactly. She could have said "I'll working with Linda McC for veganuary and so in honour of that, I'll be taking part in veganuary myself'

She's just so used to 100s of followers applauding her for the most basic or random things that that kind of professionalism would not occur to her. Even when she was awful to the kitten (or anything really, like non-essential travel to Scotland), she got plenty of applause.

She should have social media manager for her professional account, but ironically might be to vain for that, or her ego too big for admitting this is something she can't handle herself.

Anyway, she weaved (wove?) this tangled web herself.

 

[Emmapism]

Ah Monday. Rain. Dread.

Not really loving the new job all that much if I'm honest but that's one of the advantages of short freelance contracts. 6-8 weeks normally for me so if I don't like them, they're soon over!

Catch ya later canal

 

[Winthropp Tuesday]

I'm fuming..

Autistic behaviours that are generally discriminated against,despite being harmless and just how we are?

So she's hiding behind that again and at the same time making huge generalisations about autistic people?
I'd love to know for example what does autistic behaviour mean?
It is a spectrum after all and everyone is different and should be treated as an individual?
Not just as a walking cluster of symptoms or behaviours!
Stop with the lazy stereotyping!

Wolf in sheeps clothing she is playing on people's sympathies by invoking in her case imaginary discrimination?
She isn't talking on behalf of the autistic community (as if she cares) she is just using that label yet again to try and silence any criticism?

Note her use of harmless (little ol smol pixie) and just how we are....
So basically jack just can't help it?
After all what do you expect she is autistic and therefore discriminated against or an easy target?

Sorry but she is just manipulative full stop also i don't know any autistic people who go around broadcasting that fact (thats a red flag to me).
Also using that as an excuse for shoddy or irresponsible behaviour?
No again i have never come across that?
Which makes it all seem very performative?
Sorry if i'm chomping at the bit but she is really pissing me off.
Its because of people like her perpetuating lazy stereotypes that autistic people actually do get discriminated about?
This victim mantra this lack of accountability the idea that all autistic people are prisoners of their own behaviour?
Its deplorable jack its not a get out of jail free card nor is it used as such (only by you jack) and its doing a huge disservice to all the autistic men and women who have with support blossomed and become very much valued members of society.
Sorry for the long post but she really makes me angry with this bullshit.

No need for you to apologise at all. I wholeheartedly agree with all of this. Her weaponising of autism really does upset me.

It’s like “Oh I’ve done something bad, I’ll blame it on my autism and everyone will have to back off” that paints a dreadful picture of folks who genuinely have autism.

If I duck up. I own it. I own it because it’s better to be honest and try and put things right, than fight fire with fire like she does.

The sort of behaviour she exhibits is cold, calculating and dishonest. It makes me so angry she gets away with it.

For anyone who wasn't around at the time, or is starting to doubt what happened, don't let Jack gaslight you. Here is what happened to the kitten in her own words (images collected by various frauen from Jack's Twitter & Insta):

Spoiler: distressing

25/06/20: Pre-kitten

30/06/20: Kitten adopted

01/07/20: Vet question arises

07/07/20: Claims of a positive vet visit

09/07/20: Furthet claims of positive vet feedback, now from her friend Vix

09/07/20: Sudden change of tune

next few days (sorry I didn't get timestamp): visibly sick kitten is kept alone in bathroom at night

13/07/20: kitten dies

That's the basic story. I focused on lies about the vet and medical treatment, rather than the weird videos, monetised tribute, and other strange issues. Anyone who stumbles across this: Jack Monroe repeatedly lied about taking her disabled kitten to the vet. Despite being told "it's not advised to do nothing", she did nothing until the animal died. She is a bleeping monster.

Note: compiling this post was not fun. But if Jack is lying about it over at Linda McCartney's Insta, people should know the truth.

 

[TriviaNewtonJohn]

Exactly. She could have said "I'll working with Linda McC for veganuary and so in honour of that, I'll be taking part in veganuary myself'

B-but she could only be vegan for 2 years (with a heavy caveat that there's no real evidence of these apparent 2 years) She's too poorly/poor to do it more than 90% for any longer than that!!!

Seeing it all together like that is horrible. How can she claim that she did the right thing?!

Will get the morning calls done - obligatory video calls to make sure you are alive, sober, working - then dive in. Fuming about work already so can't actually get more annoyed!
