Jack Monroe #183 Someone's fewmmin'

[Powershower]

I don’t think there is a friend to be honest, either it’s a made up scenario in which she is using AA/NA to cover up all the tweets about the Marcus Rashford/Tom Kerridge collab so that people feel sorry for her. OR “the friend” is her and she’s drop drop dropping breadcrumbs. Her partner (I think it safe to assume she’s BACK) is in TV and a lot of TV work can be found in Manchester. Lord Jesus Compton might be moving there for a bit and as Jack has just started her treatment, the treatment providers may be keen for her to find a sponsor (real not bot) there.
This is of course only speculation m’lord.

She is in FUCKING MANCHESTER isn't she?

@MancBee putting a tent up for you in my garden right now. Get on the first train south. I'll send further instructions soon. LEAVE NOW FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!

No experience in AA/NA but really why on Earth would she do this on behalf of someone else?

She has no shame.

I guess she wants to reaffirm to herself how important she is and what a large platform she has, after today’s ego bruising experience

Jack has no shame.

If she is not asking for herself then she is doing it for engagement and to make herself look good especially after the shark attack earlier.

ETA that was meant to be shark attack but shark seems apt.

Ffs SNARK attack. I am now officially a victim of

I’ve just put on Martin and Roman’s morning thing. Chef Shivi is apparently their resident chef. She’s teaching them, very nicely, how to chop onions. She hasn’t said anything inappropriate, is friendly and warm, and has great rapport with M&R. Aghghhh, she’s about to make a proper roux

Scenes from Parsley, Manchester:

Essential travel (medical purposes).

MEDICAL PURPOSES. Did you hear that at the back? I'm here for medical purposes.

Was it kompromat? We've had a few, to be fair, might start keeping a log.

Yes! I knew it started with kom, but it's been driving me crazy trying to remember the word. Thank(space)you!

Could be people reading but not a maven?

I reckon so. We have a LOT of lurkers, and particularly people who've had a run-in with Jack - during BLM, McCartneygate, or whatever else - will google and end up reading here!

Why though I thought his star had waned somewhat. Aside from what Jack hinted about him, he’s always given me the creeps. I’m wary of his motives.

Russell Brand has made a career out of being what stupid people think a genius sounds like. I remember years ago, people being convinced he was going to lead some kind of political revolution? WTF?

This is one of the few times I'm with Jack (until she started following him again a week ago).

Again this goes back to ‘just open a tin of tomato soup FFS’. I love tomato soup on those sort of days...

I thought perhaps it was to double the portion of the tinned soup. But THEN I thought, surely it's cheaper to just buy two cans of tinned soup than it is to buy one tin of soup, one tin of chopped tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, oil and balsamic (plus you need to put it through a blender). In conclusion, I'm obviously putting way too much thought into it.

JW Marriotts have those glass carafes. It would have to be fancy to be stocking those high-end drinks.

Can’t afford butter, though. Surely even her most hardcore Jackolytes must find this bread crumbing about “treatment” infuriating? Nobody is forced to mention treatment that they also want to keep private. The attention seeking is what Jack needs ‘treatment’ for.

If you look closely at the picture of the fridge door you can see at the top right hand corner what appears to be a picture rail. The shitty bungalow has a picture rail in the dining room. We know the massive fridge isn't in the kitchen, apparently it wouldn't fit.

Just saying.

 

[Pocahontas]

No, I really don't.

Off to bed, to paraphrase crimewatch "Hope I don't have nightmares"

You’re going to wake up tomorrow with a new neighbour.
Don’t accept any soup.

 

[moosesauna]

Probably irrelevant but NotJack's been having delivery grub for the past few days...

 

[SarcasticEllis]

What gets me about the ‘friends of Bill’ tweets from last night is that, if Jack is asking all this for a friend (presumably someone they’ve met within their treatment) and the friend has agreed, Jack is going into this space still with that ‘I’m famous, let me sort it for you’ mentality.
I thought it was about checking those labels and trappings at the door. Thinking if Jack wants to make a go of this treatment, they need to step away from social media.

Reddit...

 

[LennyBriscoe]

Of course we shall speculate where you are Jack but it SHAN’T cover the fact that you, so called activist for people in poverty, cannot even bring yourself to shout out to an amazing project - part of what should be everyone’s fight. Shame on you.

And fair dos, you don’t want to let people know where you are now but once you check out it would be a nice touch to give them a mention since they’ve gone above and beyond. It’s nice to be nice

@HotesTilaire Mother of God, please change your avatar. It's terrifying.

Shan’t!
You asked for that Harry, now fuck off and shag Hislop

Grunkola, but looked what popped up...

Well I, for one, cannot wait for 'Parsley, Manchester'.
