In fairness, many people I know go mad for exactly this and save fruit cake especially.

This fundraiser was started by a fan who donated £1. Overall funds raised were £1. Final update by the person who started the fundraiser:So 2017 yields £68,000 from Kickstarter and in 2018 she's at it again. I don't believe that she had no idea about it.
Jack does not deserve it.
Help Jack Monroe, Jack deserves it.
Jack Monroe, who I admire posted this: https://cookingonabootstrap.com/2018/05/29/poverty-lingers-in-a-septic-wound/ I think we should all chip in for Jack’s rent deposit as for years we have had the benefit of free recipes at https://cookingonabootstrap.com/ So I estimated 10 weeks rent at avgogetfunding.com

Poverty lingers a septic wound, choleric, stenching, bursting rancid all over your Sunday best.
You jest at scars, that never felt a wound, I muttered to my phone screen as an avatar of a sneering man stared back, his grainy face positioned just to the left of his barbed jab about why a ‘best…cookingonabootstrap.com
Seems to have gone AWOL so I dunno, I thought I was doing something positive but maybe the road to hell really is paved with good intentions.[\QUOTE]

Could this be the sleeping rough origin story?

She said she spent two years rough sleeping to the US interview
How did she have time for all this prostitution and rough sleeping? #1978truther
I clicked on the link and just got a 404 error but did notice that at the top, in the headings, there’s “TIP JAR” and “DONATE”, both of which take you to a PayPal page! Two bloody identical, outright begging links on the front page!
lest we forget
I’d love, if Jack was ever exposed for there to be a screen wipe type sketch of the expose and Philomena to assess it:
‘It turned out she really liked to play dress up. But instead of using costumes Jack used made up diagnoses. The only condition she actually had was chronic lying’.
ETA: damn, wish I’d seen @Vanelope post before I posted - could imagine Cunk saying liabetes!
Behind the scenes? Nobody knew? Had to dive under the sleeping bag, snatching the grubby paper cup and “please help I’m too smol to get a job” sign up if the parents passed by, scampering away and losing her begging pitch for the day.
Omg the magic faraway tree . How I loved that as a wee kid . Magic .
Narcs.
Currently rewatching Black Books where Bernard is behind on his tax return, cue much

and Just found a classic Jack contradiction while looking for something else (a Jackradiction?)

I don’t believe Jack ever took testosterone, it would have made very noticeable and irreversible changes if she had.
I’m nervous to say this but I quite liked that poem when I first saw it years ago . I know these things can be cringey and I wouldn’t have it on the fkn wall but I remember thinking that you do get people who have very fixed ideas about what ‘their ‘ (like they’re a possession ) children would be like and what sort of jobs they should have and what kind of lives they should lead . I’m not suggesting for a minute that reading that would be some sort of wake up call to people like that or that anyone would need it as an actual reminder . I just liked that it showed children as individuals and not extensions of their parents . FS-what if I’m the narc and I don’t know it because I’m a narc
