Jack Monroe #241 Average level lies and lard gravy

[Pavlova]

Jack isn’t famous enough for people to pay enough attention to notice the inconsistencies in her stories. To most people, she’s just that poverty food writer who sued Katie Hopkins, so she can’t be that bad really. That’s if they’ve even heard of her at all.

Jack has moaned about not getting opportunities in the past but this relative obscurity actually works in her favour. If she was famous she couldn’t use the tip jar and would be expected to actually work and create a decent output.

When you think about how much space all the various terrestrial and satellite TV, radio, online channels have to fill (ya know, 24 hours), it's a damning indictment on Jack herself, that she isn't booked and is working regularly. Believe it or not, film and TV is a small place where people do know of each other, have informal networks of mates and you're often referred by word of mouth. Word about her attitude has got around, believe me...
(Keeping it vague cos 🔺️ innit...)

Found some exciting tweets.

This is a Guardian food writer (have covered tho as no blue tick and think it might be a private version of their account)

And in the responses helpfully colour coded: blue is someone who has recently tweeted about the grift, red is a really well known Guardian food writer, don't know who green is and black is the original tweeter again

I saw tweets from well known tweeter last night and, dear reader, they are definitely aimed at our Jack.

I'm trying not to go to bed angry. Thinking about the donations that some Fraus made yesterday to the Trussell Trust. The warm jumpers I took to the winter shelter drop off this morning -should have left my name in big bold letters so they could thank me really!

There will be a reckoning for Jack Monroe and people like her, who profit from the misfortunes of a group they never belonged to in the first place (and definitely don't now).

She can 'we we WE' all she likes but she's a liar and a grifter and an awful human. And she has to live with that every single day.

Another great find, thank(space)you! These people (well, the Guardian ones anyway) are followed by Jack. They're talking about her right in front of her!! I love it.

 

[HotesTilaire]

I’m still laughing at the arthritis tweet from a few year back, that a Frau unearthed the other day, where Jack said she “lost the full use of my hands at age 29” glad the tinned fish has cured them and you can still tweet n grift, ya prune!

This has been added to the Insta caption.

I had gremlins in my back end once. That was a wild night.

 

[Ispyabudgetbeanblogger]

Dear reader, I live near Aldi. It's because my neighbourhood isn't as fancy as Thorpe Bay.

 

[NomDeGuerre]

As an IBS Frau, the idea of broccoli and wholewheat pasta as the first meal of the day (almost literally) turns my stomach. She must have the constitution of a docker.

100g of lentils and 2 pitta breads. Serves 4

Fuck's sake.

Spoiler: ED

DP has a fucking ED and has done for years. He's just eaten two pittas with ham and cheese. Her 'portions' (less than an ounce of lentils when a portion is 2-3oz) make it sound as though he's overeating

CUNT

 

[Raver_Bear]

what a grunk.
I can’t really believe what I read. So Jack wrote a long winded and inaccurate tweet, which lead to blue ticks fawning over here, three writing commissions and a radio feature.. and then claimed to have a migraine and convulsions, continued to tweet and changed her profile picture to her dressed up as Mary Poppins.. if this is being a maverick I would rather stay the bear that I am.
I am lost for words and how shameless, heartless, and disgusting her lies and grifting is.

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

Do you think Jack ever thinks ‘when people donate to me, they’re taking away the money they’d have donated somewhere else’. How does she even sleep at night knowing this?

She must have a dissociative personality to be able to even compartmentalise the guilt and shame of grifting and going about everyday life.

 

[Notmycat]

I just want to jump back on something posted on the first page of this thread. I think we can expect diabetic friendly food (that's probably not but that's a different story) in the near future. The person who asked to DM her about his national role. He Is co-lead for Diabetes for NHS England.

Yep, she’s waited for maximum engagement time. Shameless.

Oh eff off! But for many people it isn't! BBC Breaking News Alert: the people who this is most relevant to don't spunk £100 on some tetanus filled cutlery. They probably do live nearer an Aldi than you, someone who rents in the most expensive area of Southend, because Aldi and Lidl tend to put their shops in areas where people are low income. And she's not in a food desert either seing as she can scamper to Asda.

 

[traumatised sideboard]

Why would you repost the sideboard thot shots, you know that's why I'm traumatised

Sounds like Jack has tectonic plates now so we need to start keeping track of dramatic shifts in those as well as the status of the lights. I'm hoping that Sardine Jack is going to get subducted beneath Paying Taxes Jack.

 

[MancBee]

I can only imagine the scenes in TD house right now. She must be apoplectic. I feel for her, she was doing so well yesterday to highlight the grift, but now blue tickers are kissing Jack's arse. The blue tickers from the very media bubble that Jack was berating this morning (even though Jack was once and still wants to be part of that bubble). It is sickening.

 

[traumatised sideboard]

She couldn't possibly euthanise her old website, those political prisoners need access to the jacket beetato from February 2018 and Christmas present shopping for £25 in 2015. Can you imagine all her coolinary masterpieces gone forever? The loss to humanity as a whole would be unbearable.

 

[BlendedSlop]

I have never wanted her grift to be exposed so badly.

 

[Veronicaaa]

Jack has liked both these tweets.
