I hope something happens soon. Luckily there is massive drama on our community FB pages because someone reckons they saw a Jaguar yesterday morning. I've seen the video it's obviously a cat, but people are going insane and refusing to leave their houses. A full chaos.

Be careful there are videos!

found this though
God, that article is awfu, no wonder she has such a big ego if people are fawning over her like that.

This bit stood out:

One of the benefits of winning the case is that the tabloid press has given her a wider berth since, she says. Walking to the train station she explains, irrepressibly, how much she is enjoying a slightly lower profile, a slightly more measured life.
Is she really claiming she would get papped when out and about or that the Daily Mail were running exclusives about her love life.

Still, it explains why she can't book hotels under her own name!

Weeks in that Aparthotel and not a whiff of press from anywhere. Despite putting highly identifiable photos of her room on the internet and dropping heavy hints she was in rehab.

If you google image “Jack Monroe paparazzi” or “Jack Monroe candid” there’s not a pap single image. They’re all off her own Instagram 😳 Nothing on getty either.

She has literally never, ever, ever been “papped” so it’s absolutely mortifying she’s complaining about it.

not scientific but I've just checked several accounts I follow who are big on "if you like my content, this is my kofi" or similar. accounts that offer real content, eg comedians who are doing viral videos having lost work in the last year. not like, "here's some brown slop and my cat's bum. d'you remember when freddos were 5p?"

anyway, the only account I've seen that includes the tip jar link.........................it's jack monroe's account
Utterly shameless, maybe someone should create a twitter storm highlighting the fact she was first to hit the button the nanosecond it launched!

Me too. Like Ray Quinn - all his gigs were cancelled due to the pandemic so he became a delivery driver and then a carpet fitter. He said, “I didn’t want to sit around and feel sorry for myself.”

Jack could take a leaf out of his book.
🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤢 bet he has a 'Hi, I'm Ray Quinn, Dancing On Ice winner, accidental heart throb and Brookside superstar' intro.

I can only hope we/tattle live long enough to see property owner Jack. The deposit she’s always going on about really is just the start of things, especially if she gets one of these huge houses she seems to think are absolutely essential.
I was going to post that I don't see any way of Jack achieving a huge house from their own earnings. If less than half of their following gives them £10. Jack will have one and a half million 😯 .

I have a cousin. Only child, parents very well off, spoilt indulged. Thirty years ago, at a family christening, she would have been 7 or 8, she insisted everyone gather to be her audience as she had just passed the first stage of her piano lessons. It was insufferable, truly - sat like the Queen of Sheba, entirely unaware of her awfulness, whilst everyone in the room just cringed themselves inside out, then politely clapped. Think Verruca Salt levels of embarrassment. TW - sickness At the same event, she ate so much christening cake, it made her physically ill

That long remembered piano performance was still less embarrassing and less cringeworthy than Jack belting the keys, single handed, and puffed up with her own ego. I haven’t seen that before - I won’t be watching it again.

The same cousin would be great friends with Jack, now. Has indeterminate health issues that stop her being able to work, despite being coached into an Oxbridge degree - that she ended up dropping out of, and completing in an ex-poly. She is actually a bit ruined, by the spoiling - I think the parents thought siblings would help. It didn’t.

It’s been estimated she’s on ~£100k p/a, this year likely quite a bit more. If you use a specialist broker you can get a property based on your last 6 months of earnings plus there are mortgages with higher multipliers than the conventional high street banks offer (and even 100% mortgages). ETA - This is because something like 90% of mortgages have to comply with new stricter regulations but banks are allowed up to 10% of higher risk loans. You pay a significantly higher rate and usually they’re for more expensive property so the bank profits massively from this. There are a tiny handful banks that specialise in ridic mortgages.

Had she had even a 5% deposit together she’d have managed to buy, even better now as they’ve suspended stamp duty up to £500k so that would save her a few grand above her FTB stamp duty free allowance of £300k (I believe? May be wrong!).

The problem is she doesn’t earn enough for how much she spends so will never get there. I feel for poor SB having his trauma and image exploited for tabloids who will have nothing to show for it once he’s grown up 🤷🏻‍♀️

@heretoreaditall2019 .

I don't doubt Jack could have bought if they had been careful with money, and researched options available (though I know I am speculating here and Jack claims court judgements for not getting a mortgage). I would be interested to see what Jack actually earns given the claims of frugality and instability of income. What I meant was that I don't see Jack getting what they want from any future earning potential, given the way current opportunities have worked out. I do wonder what they will do next.

The phrase "a slightly lower profile" has finished me. They make it sound like she went from A List superstar to...A- List.

I mean...I suppose in a way you've got to admire her self-belief, even if it is wholly misguided?
