Ha I thought the same when I was browsing that thread last night, especially the bit about the butter.
It seems like the person in question is quite a young journalist too. Not that that should matter in and of itself, but at the start of your career you're probably more concerned with towing the party (media) line, because it's likely to get more shares that way, and you won't want to piss off possible future colleagues.
Yes — her whole life is a permanent performance, The Poverty TM, performed through the medium of SM, living for the Twitter “reviews” — a one woman show running for almost as long as The Mousetrap, with viewers complicit in the secret (it didn’t happen), as The Mousetrap audience don’t give away the ending….
13,000 views and how many of them are Tattlers.
Spoiler that tit lads I beg i accidentally clicked and nearly heard things that would make me cringe an injury (crinjury?) Karaoke box for one and belt it out, don’t put it on the internet.
Paul Merton spoiled it on his show seemingly out of spite and i really was cross about it.
Thank you this is even better than the Eternity Beans I got for the thread title
I had wondered if this was some part of Jacks apparent Teflon feature. If you are aiming to get ahead in journalism, or mix in those circles already, do you really want to write something negative about the partner/fiance of the head of Channel 4 news?
And this is why The Guardian will never get a penny from me..
Busking with Billy Bragg – Jack Monroe's Do Something challenge
When the opportunity came along to busk with one of her musical and political heroes, Jack Monroe couldn't turn it down• Watch Billy and Jack busking in Camden• Billy Bragg's tips on buskingwww.theguardian.com

First sentence “sung in bands, on and off, for years” (perhaps needs adding to the job list)
Second sentence - The Poverty.
She does make it to the third paragraph before The Excuse so not bad doing, I suppose.
I think Grauniad Jack is one of my least favourite Jack incarnations. Her 'articles' are the usual florid whining about The Poverty or some stupid media event which she trembled and quaked through but proudly held her broad cockney head high, had the last laugh etc etc. She is just so smug, I cannot stand her holier-than-thou MEMEMEMEME style amplified for a national newspaper. I do enjoy some of the comments though
+ a lot of them do freelance work for ad agencies or #brands cos journalism work is so sporadic and not gr8ly paid (or some just grift lol). Whilst one article wouldn’t ~blacklist~ them from that work by big AdTM between that and the short turnaround and probably low fee they’re hardly incentivised to undertake a thorough critical analysis on influencer culture and the backlash against it
It’ll be another load of bollocksSweet Jesus. Don’t know if that was brave or look at me. Well I do know.
Was it a bird fighting back?PS all this yoga talk and I'm sitting here with my leg in a cast.How can I monetise this?!
