The random Debbie McGee thing has got me HOOTING. Wonder if Jack likes alsatians? (If you know, you know)
Co-signing on the alsatians.
My second favourite 80s celebrity wife is Cheryl Barrymore, her autobiography is 🔥🔥🔥.

I wish someone in the Jackosphere would do an autobiography. If views on the lives and votes on the polls are accurate, that would sell more than 3000 just between the cabal I reckon.

My final dive into the archives (can you tell I've had very little to do the last couple of days?).

Context: one of the many reasons why Jack sucks professionally is her failure to establish a consistent brand. Her Twitter handle has changed several times, and her appearance changes drastically between book covers.

Her website has changed, too. She shot to "fame" with agirlcalledjack.com and is now cookingonabootstrap.com and sometimes jackmonroe.com, but that doesn't always work.

But between them, she had a brief period (literally a couple of months) as jackatapinch.com. This was right after she came out as trans, and the heady blend of rinsed beans and gender issues is quite something.

I mean no disrespect to any members of the cabal who have experience of gender dysphoria. It's hard to see this without being reminded of her vegan period. Jack threw herself headfirst into something, positioned herself as an expert voice, then went back on it and now only brings it up when there's money or kudos involved. This seems extremely far from most trans people's experience, and I'm sorry that Jack is still seen by some as a spokesperson for your community.

Jack is profiled by The Times: https://web.archive.org/web/2015111...mation-of-jack-monroe-the-times-november-2015

Here we learn that Jack likes both sharks and Disney princesses, which is unfathomable. How can such a thing be true? As a laydee, I must be surrounded by pink florals at all times, and Jack's edginess scares me. Interestingly, when this article takes place she is both currently taking testosterone and awaiting her first appointment at the gender clinic, which is...odd medical practice.

Bonus points: reference to a chaos in which she broke her foot and couldn't work; retelling of the Poverty; claims that model agencies (plural) told her she had the perfect face but was too short and should lose weight. Would the weight loss make her a foot taller? She also rails against the sexualisation of women, saying that Deliciously Ella and the Hemsley sisters, like other women in the public eye, "look identical" (#BeKind) but that Nigella Lawson does her own thing and is not sexualised at all. Right then.

Jack fights back against a troll letter in the Southend Echo:

I am a twice-published author with a best selling book. I am a campaigner for Oxfam and the Trussell Trust and have raised over £50,000 for Street Child United, the Trussell Trust, the YMCA, Stonewall, The Food Chain and Oxfam through various fundraisers, mostly involving me starving myself for a week for charity, sleeping on a cardboard box on the floor of a car park, or catering large and complex events free of charge. I am an ambassador for Oxfam and a patron of The Food Chain. I am a mother. I am a journalist. I am a campaigner, forcing a debate on food banks in the House of Commons by getting 140,000 signatures on a petition in a matter of days, and travelling to Tanzania to interview female farmers in the rice fields of Morogoro. I have attended the G8 summit, spoken at Conservative Party conference, and Labour, and the Greens, and the Peoples Assembly. I have been on BBC Question Time. I have cooked dinner for Claudia Roden, Mary Portas, Clare Balding, Sue Perkins and dessert for Bill Nighy (but not all at once). I do write a blog, yes, but it is a fraction of what I do.

Shame it's too long for a thread title.

Here she lashes out against people who use Twitter too much. Interestingly, the letter writer has the same name - Peter - as the troll this January who emailed her to tell her how much he hates single mothers at the height of free school meals.

Jack gives up her smartphone: https://web.archive.org/web/2018012...r-a-nokia-3310-and-radically-changed-my-life/

WARNING: This opens with all-caps messages Jack claims to have received. They include a very strong racial slur, as well as other disgusting ableist and sexist language.

Basically the same as her vegan article but with tweets instead of meats.

Jack was poor, if you've forgotten:

She had to choose between heating and eating "almost constantly" in 2012 and 2013. The timeline disagrees.

Jack launches a Kickstarter:

Historic! Book 3 "is nearly written". It would only take two more years to see the light of day...

There are a few other posts feuding with the Daily Mail or offering recipes (slop has no gender), but these were my highlights. I hope you enjoy picking over them like Jack on a pile of ribs at the height of her meat addiction.
Something that I’ve noticed from the various articles on her (not just these) is that SBs name seems to either be spelt with or without the H seemingly randomly. If I were going to name my son in articles, I’d make sure they had the right spelling so you’d think she would.

I think that's just shoddy journalism, not Jack's doing. I have a name in the Clare/Claire, Kathy/Cathy family and people will consistently misspell it even when writing on my social media or responding to emails when the correct spelling is literally right in front of them. I could walk around in a Carrie Bradshaw-style name necklace and it wouldn't help!

Sounds like something people say to let you down gently..

I do too and also get that, but I bet if any article had spelt Jack as Jac or Monroe as Munroe, even one where she was mentioned in passing, she’d have been straight on Twitter kicking off about it. So I’m a bit surprised none of the ones with the wrong spelling have been amended and she doesn’t seem to care.

It's surprising for someone with narc tendencies, who sees everyone through a lens of 'what are they in relation to me/what is their use to me?' - fanny cakes being a prime example of this.

'Don't suggest the Dentist please'

Why the duck not mate you've got some serious teef issues, apparently.

At least now there's a sideboard hold up you might finally go and get said teef sorted.

Genuinely here for all the references in this group. I'm in a couple of FB groups, and they just never make any, ever, and I think they'd be wtf if you tried.

If anything could bring Jack and Debbie McGhee together as BFFs it’s Strictly. C’mon Strictly Producers, take Jack up on her offer!

Saturday morning fun fact, Mr Lenny and I were in the audience when Debbie McGhee did her rumba!
I will be raging if the beeb wastes more of my money on this charlatan! 😡 I have let them know.

The ouchy mouth tit annoys the hell out of me!!!

I think it's incredibly offensive actually, so many people can't afford dental treatment, not just people in poverty, but, a lot of people would forgo going to a dentist because of the costs. Jack, a person who only cosplays The Poverty TM acting like a brat and refusing to go is once again bleeping nonsense. She could probably afford to go private, let alone NHS, but acts like she can't or is too scared to. (It's most likely because there's nothing wrong to begin with). It's a metaphorical kick in the teeth to the people she claims she is the queen of.

I don’t think it’ll happen. I genuinely never thought Strictly would turn people down but it gave me hope that they turned Jack down!

I was a bit 😬 about her turning up last year, what with the roaring success of DKL and the announcement there would be a same sex couple. But alas.

That response is classic Jack. "Don't suggest the one thing that is actually guaranteed to help, I just want lots and lots of sympathy comments and the opportunity to snap at well-meaning people because I've already TRIED EVERYTHING."

It's astonishing how she's been pulling the same old tit since 2014 and the squiggles are still blind to it.

Christ. Can you imagine it? First nip from a Brambly Mouse and she'd be claiming to be more injured than Nutkin.


ETA: I was always a fan of Derek Griffiths. I think the theme tune had something to do with it. But my school were taken to a musical event that had Johnny Morris compering and he was very nice to us.
