Jack Monroe #230 Black-ish

I don't think she claimed furlough from the government, i’m sure she said she was paying Caroline “furlough” out of her own pocket?

She also said a lot of untrue things if they got her positive attention …saying that you’re likely right not sure she’s clever enough to have worked out how to claim the real thing.

How long have her taxes been overdue? Would this affect claiming furlough?

Because duck it, anyone who sees the words cod roe crumbles and thinks "oooh, let's crowdfund a restaurant to eat that!" is beyons help.

I've just woken Mr F up snorting with laughter at that!

Yes, if HMRC think there's something fishy going on (sorry, couldn't resist) then they'll pursue it to the ends of the earth and beyond. They're trying to get a friend of mine at the moment, it's been going on for about 5 years now and every time it goes through another bit of legal process they get ruled against, but they're still gunning for him.

It probably would have you know…??!

I'm sure someone found her in the government data, didn't they? I can't open it on my phone and don'twant to disturb sleeping dogs by going back downstairs, but if you download the file at https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme and search for On A Bootstrap you can check.

She did claim furlough, there was a screenshot showing a list of companies claiming and Cooking on a Bootstrap was listed.

Sorry to hear you're poorly @Jay-cloth Cow @Rekyavikgirl and @Fruitjack may you be well soon. Wee girl is feeling rotten so we're away for a PCR today. Hoping it's negative.

Mumsnet feels like its playing with fire with those posts. Can't believe they're still up.

Lol I remember years ago on that site someone posting live from a party with Liz Jones of daily fail infamy that they were watching her have a party snort !
There was a photo shared of LJ at said party too. The post was removed but I think it's cos the poster got the jitters.
Being a huge LJ antifan it was quite a spectacular late night reveal

I hope Caroline if she is real does an exposé one day. My life as the hands of fack conroe

Also the nose fluctuations??? No experience with c use, is this a thing? I just remember being shocked at the appearance of her nose sometimes. I can picture it being a thing in the circles she used to move in during Allegra times.

I wondered this too but wasn't sure as no personal experience. Does the old J1g cause loss of sense of taste too? Could explain the rank grub.

Thank-space-you! It's helluva job keeping up with Jack.

Can you imagine a restaurant with Jack at the helm?! It would open days late, everyone would be left waiting around for her to show up, the food - doesn't even need mentioning, then two days later she'd never speak of it again and it would cease to exist! Just lonely little squig voices tweeting into the abyss "Jack, is your restaurant open? I tried to book but there's no answer..."

Those poor squigs who get taken in by her and look up to her and buy her crap from her (or try to). She's The Pauper's Prince/Princess

I’m not sure I like speculation on Christmas powder. Can we get back to talking about slop and off black clothes? I think it would be a better idea?

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

Spoiler: That other site

Can't believe the mods haven't come down hard on this. I really think it could be true, things make more sense if you factor that potential habit in.

 

[Shawads]

Where go the dough?
We wish to know
Was cooked low and slow
Or in bin throw?

So many reasons for loving this cabal. Making me laugh out loud in bed at 2320 is one of them.
Nobody , no
in my actual life
would understand
why
i cry
And laugh so

Might be a good idea. There’s no ‘proof’ apart from circumstantial speculation and we can’t take a gossipy post on Mumsnet as truth. At least when we talk about stuff here it’s as a reaction to things / ‘food’ that Jack herself has tweeted or historical things she has said or written.

 

[kachoochoo]

ugh, Taxes Jack always feels like a gcse business studies module (I got an A in it, i did not FAIL SECONDARY SCHOOL, EDWINA) in that it sounds kinda interesting to begin with, but you're nodding off by Christmas

 

[Shawads]

A ‘hint’ of sourdough? Prune butter? Soft of course, lest anyone try to use hard prune butter. A few extras. All topped with plenty of a hot spice. Parsley free from the garden no doubt. duck my old boots.

I wonder if I'll ever get a chance to try prune butter, soft or hard ?
it feels very niche but of course I run in very different circles to jack , it's probably de rigeur with the groucho club set

 

[colouredlines]

A Christmas treat for the cabal: the infamous gorgonzola semifreddo that Jack STILL brings up, almost 7 years later, to prove her gourmet credentials.

(yes there is a powdery white substance sprinkled on top, but I'm almost certain it's cheese. Or possibly dandruff.)

Jack must have grunked as it’s been removed now anyway.

Back to normal service and I think Vlad is trolling me with fish as a direct response to Jack’s seafood abominations. I did not ask anyone to send more fishos .
