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

[encore]

Oh no!

I was going to post in support, but wasn't sure if it was breaking any rules.

Thought it was quite a clear, factual post imo, don't think any of it would take too long to verify. Not sure I understand the mod's argument, but there we go. I follow r/discworld but haven't posted, so seems I wouldn't be welcome to the debate either.

I'm just hoping people saw the info before it was taken down and it shifted some people's minds

What they need is a 'Jack Monroe Value Range'

She will make horrendous dishes from it and never eat any.

Wonder what her loss leaders and best sellers would be.

Grunking from 3 threads ago - what a week it's been a while since we were at a thread a day.
Can everyone slow down now though - I've been BUSY and can't keep up!

It's a bit late but I have the perfect tree for Jack.

May not be the first with this but the potatoes are just 🧑‍

I didn’t watch GMB at the time either, the link to the interview is here (2:19 in total.) No mention of toothpaste but it does seem part of a slightly longer feature…

I’m sure she mentioned toothpaste in a different talking head though. I want to try find it

I did see that clip but not the full piece. So it was the same day as the Twitter screeshot but still before it.

what an absolute dickhead reply.
Re: her tattoos have they ever been costed up? Couple of grand on those arms at least.

So it wouldn’t be worth me doing a forensic FOI to track them all down? I’d be happy to but I know they are a massive pain in the arse.

Would an FOI be against the rules @Pocahontas? I feel I want to submit it just so I know she’s definitely Novak Nailing it.

Roadsidemum really wanted to read this. She became impatient so had to "commission" her own zine

Kapow is the sound of

Mod edit: Roadside Mum has her own thread.

Imagine my surprise upon finding out that Jack is actually Salad Fingers

And yet despite this, in the complete absence of any evidence to the contrary, her fans continue to promote the idea that she's working every hour God sends to eradicate poverty

Because she encourages the lie - when she's got their full attention, after the prolonged break, she's very clever to come out with all the "haven't slept, been awake for 36 hours" etc..

 

[TraceyJacks]

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

Haha yeah should have known it was buy one get 2 sleeves free at the parlour that day. Hope she disinfected that puddle muck off the tattoo needles.

Anecdata, but when I got my first sheep in 2016, a 20kg sack of ewe rolls was £5.70. It's now £9.50. Other farming costs have gone up similarly and wool is down to about 30p a kg, so we lose about £1.20 for every sheep shorn.

Silly question if the price of wool has dropped, why hasn’t the cost of wool products dropped also?

 

[TraceyJacks]

Newbie to Jack tbh but out of curiosity (have read the wiki) is there a reason she still pretends to live in poverty?

Something to do innit.

I fear that once I start I’ll get a bit carried away and scare her off

Just a casual…. I saw she hasn’t paid tax and hopefully your sister has a Google!

 

[HansThatDoDishes]

Tax Fraus - apologies if this has been mentioned before but would money she rakes in from her various tip jars be given to 'Jack Monroe' or 'On a Bootstrap' - i.e. are they two separate entities tax-wise? (Jack as an individual/employee/freelancer vs Jack as a company) And would she be able to get away with not declaring any of these (e.g. if it comes through F&F on PayPal etc)? I know there'll be a rule about how you should pay over a certain threshold, but would anyone actually check? If it's already been answered could you link me... funnily enough it's hard to search here for tax, tip jar etc with Jackie!

 

[StringyMango]

I'm trying not to laugh at someone using words like visceral and rage whilst she's dressed as Mary fucking Poppins. We are not a cod fish, Michael.

@Django
Exactly!!

You gotta squiggle the squigs, @Wooh!
