Can you imagine that voice doing talking animals!
Can you imagine that voice doing talking animals!I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad I blocked her. Are we anticipating a Johnny Morris phase? (one for the older ones there )
Co-signing on the alsatians.The random Debbie McGee thing has got me HOOTING. Wonder if Jack likes alsatians? (If you know, you know)
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.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.

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:
Dear Mr Farrington, The Mail believes oral sex and Pringles give you cancer. Maybe you shouldn't believe what they write about me either.
Dear Editor, It appears that your correspondent P. Farrington in Tuesdays Letters page has fallen foul of the first rule of Common Sense and Decency that is, do not believe a word that...web.archive.org
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:
Heating or Eating?
Imagine having to choose between having a warm home, or having a meal. Regular readers will know that it is a choice I made almost constantly in 2012 and 2013, unemployed and with benefits frequent…web.archive.org
She had to choose between heating and eating "almost constantly" in 2012 and 2013. The timeline disagrees.
Jack launches a Kickstarter:
Cooking On A Bootstrap: BOOK THREE needs YOUR help!
Well hello my wonderful readers. It's been a year since my last cookbook came out, and I am inundated with messages every day, asking when my next book is coming out. The good news is,...web.archive.org
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.
It can sit in the bin next to SponsorbotCats That Heal Your Depression can absolutely get fucked, thankyou
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!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.
“.....then you smiled and I’d only watched Jaws the night before so......y’know...”Sounds like something people say to let you down gently..
"You've got the perfect face BUT..."
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.I think that's just shoddy journalism, not Jack's doing.

LET THERE BE JUSTICE FOR THE FREEZER FISH!!!!
literally the best thing I have EVER read on here. Can it PLEASE be the next thread title (I know it’s a bit early).I'm looking through the edit history of Jack's wikipedia and found this View attachment 501208
So I looked at the previous version and...

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.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.

'Don't suggest the Dentist please'I know it was on the last thread, but I cannot get over her whinging about her ouchie mouth in 2014! Who has toothache for that long?
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.'Don't suggest the Dentist please'
Why the fuck 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.

I have that quote framed in my house. It always make me laughView attachment 501432
It’s like goldy and bronzey but it’s made of iron.
I will be raging if the beeb wastes more of my money on this charlatan!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 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 will be raging if the beeb wastes more of my money on this charlatan!I have let them know.
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."'Don't suggest the Dentist please'

Hans and Lotte Hass. Armand and Michaela Dennis. That's as far back as I can go. Daktari.I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad I blocked her. Are we anticipating a Johnny Morris phase? (one for the older ones there )
Christ. Can you imagine it? First nip from a Brambly Mouse and she'd be claiming to be more injured than Nutkin.I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad I blocked her. Are we anticipating a Johnny Morris phase? (one for the older ones there )
