Jack Monroe #244 Why has she turned this into supermarket sweep?

[karenina]

"Enjoy the visceral seething rage"

She is obviously revelling in it to an obscene degree. We should be grateful she stuck to just the two adjectives. Whether it is any use to anyone to enjoy the rage - I think not in this case. She gets off on being righteous and getting attention and hey, why not go big. But it is pretty disquieting, people who like talking this way. I don't mean unseemly I mean disquieting. Not right. Just like her face in that picture is not right.

I don't think I've ever been more grateful to have a safe place like this, with you all feeling the same way about Jack's doings as I do. And she's every-bloody-where, some of groups I belong to on Facebook posting this tit since yesterday. I've unfollowed at least three I used to enjoy...

 

[DinosaurSenior]

I'm happy to see quite a few new members here today

 

[Flash123]

Do you think she will be on any of those Sunday morning politics shows?

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

duck me she's the front page of the People tomorrow!

What a smug phizzog.

Oh I do hope so! I'd love love love to see her make an absolute tit of herself.

Someone needs to get her on Hardtalk, Stephen Sacker would rip her to pieces.

 

[Hollaaa]

I suppose now we know why the email address changed to 'diary'. All those lovely bookings rolling in.

I am way back on page 18 but just jumping ahead to post what I think gave her the toothpaste idea:

 

[anon12300]

What infuriates me is that she appropriates other people's poverty stories and experiences so that people who have actually lived that awful life fawn over her. A lot of poorer people want to be heard and so rarely are, so when she starts speaking for them, they feel listened to and validated... and then she uses that to talk about herself, get bookings, take money out of the mouths of vulnerable people. It's sick.

Case in point screenshot below. This is someone I've followed for a long time who I really like and it takes everything in me not to message her about Jack. I just want her to see the light. It's so frustrating. I can't imagine how fraus here feel with family and friends fawning over her.

 

[PoorPatrol]

I just want someone to ask her, on live TV, how much she knows about Terry Pratchett

It seems there’s no hope for anyone asking her why she’s bleeping slandering poor ole Shoeburyness Asda. FYI Jack, my kids had a proper slow-cooked, home made, flavorful (I know this is wild!), organic bolognese today. With 20p Asda smart price spaghetti….. bought about a week ago. I don’t think “they” are trying to kill me with these prices. Gas and water prices, council tax, lack of reliable/affordable wrap-around childcare are my biggest concerns TBH.

 

[Ninch55]

For you, Jack….

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

I don't know what is worse, the fact that this ghoul is thoroughly enjoying herself whilst perpetuating fear and misery or the fact that she is getting paid for it. Any bets on what the money will be spunked on? A sideboard, a toaster, a new black eye palette, snowflake snuff powder, spicy pringles? Definitely a uselessness luxury item though. Jack you should donate all your fees to the TT or an independent food bank.

Please don't anyone pity her btw. She is acting a part, quite possibly using make up to aid that part (she has form). It's all fake, if she stayed up all night then it was self inflicted, with or without the aid of you know what. She is sick, she has had the audacity to lie in print about the poor man and the toothpaste. And if he was real, she is preventing him from getting much needed help from squiggles. Plus promoting a very sick and triggering headine while smiling smugly about the prospect of people dying. She is loving all of this. It's horrible and I cannot wait for eventual fall. I hope there are pics of her doing a Henry Hoover and I hope they get published in the DM. And HMRC need to serve her her arse.

 

[Cookiecookie]

I'm thinking there's going to be the beginnings of a backlash* after the "Poor will starve to death" headline.

It's inflammatory and panic provoking, and her smug chops on the front page don't help either.

I wish they'd used the kumquat pic

*jacklash

She's loving it, isn't she? That smug road like smirk on face.

I think you're right though, that's a very, very inflammatory thing to be saying, and will expose her considerably more than what she might be wanting (hopefully!)

 

[Itchy of Itchington]

It might have already been mentioned in one of the other 200 threads but Jack reminds me, especially with the riot comment of Camila Batmengelidh who ran kids company. A history of lying including from disabilities to childhood to secret work without their name attached. Being the only person with the solution, wildly overstating their impact and asking for money for projects which don't seem to have the promised outcomes. Kids Co and Batmangeligh were also loved by people who wanted to show how much they cared without actually getting their hands dirty or looking too closely at what was being done but wanting to be seen as doing the right thing. Both making wild claims of riots and deaths if they don't get their money.
Kids Company did actually exist however despite dreadful management. Other people benefited from money, whereas Jack's projects are entirely meretricious. (Go Jackie, we know you love a big word. Use that one to describe the Price Index!)

I think pity is reasonable. It's incredibly galling that she's used her minor experience of poverty (one food bank visit I believe she claimed on the sophie ellis bextor podcast) to blag her way into a media career but I don't think anyone could reasonably claim that she seems to have benefited in a way that makes her seem happy or even content. Like, much as I loathe the way she makes everything about herself and total misery porn (that article in the US where she claimed she slept rough ffs) she still is surrounded by expensive sideboards and smeg fridges and comes across as just deeply deeply unhappy.

 

[PermanentEyeRolls]

When I saw this pic I genuinely thought there was a person it it... the burberry scarf is giving off Grudge vibes!

(Also as someone with epilepsy she can duck off with her cavalier attitude to "convulsions")

(Also Also... I adore Terry Pratchett. His books got me into reading. He would see her for what she is)

Right, back of to the past....

 

[Mel Donte]

I misunderstood this at first and got all excited

Yes, her mate did them cheap and she had a job before and they’re tit anyway
Its on her insta

And you took a lot of convincing in the beginning!
