thanks for the new thread! I wonder what jolly japes Jack gets up to next!
Also that photo- surely it’s just Jack’s shopping list?! Doesn’t look forensic to me tbh

That’s just a shopping list.

‘List’ and ‘index’ are not interchangeable.
Is this what the ONS does?

ETA where is the knowledgeable frau who has done research with them? Before using their super secure system did you all… scribble illegible shopping lists?

I think we have a contender for one of the best Jack Monroe thread titles evvvvvveeeeerrrrrr!

Can I ask as a bit of an odd question as I guess I am not a knowledgeable Frau about this and I really don’t want to offend. Jack described herself yesterday as Trans. I thought Jack was non-binary and that this was different to being trans. Can someone enlighten me and sorry for what feels like a really obtuse question. Thanks.

Fraus, I just don't know what to say. A second thread title! I'm HONOURED. And she totally is (as well as being a whelksplat) Delighted. Thank(space)you @PuritySpiral

I don't know the difference - I thought non-binary meant you didn't identify as male or female, so there would be no transitioning from one to the other, and so no 'trans', but Jack clearly said she wanted to transition to be male (full whack) but later said she had never said she wanted to transition. I think the takeaway is Jack is a bandwagon hopping liar.

this thread title's amazing. can't believe we've not had something like it before!

so she's filled a side of a4 with the names of tinned foods and called it a day? great work, much activism

anyway, she can't possibly have a tea break now. it's 2pm - school run time!

I love how she makes a massive deal of doing the school run for a secondary-aged child who doesn’t live with her.

I can’t remember who it was who pointed out that she uses her Twitter meltdowns as a passive-aggressive way to punish the people in her life but it now makes such sense why she was having a full-on episode at the beginning of lockdown: SB’s dad had to work through it so it made sense for SB to move in with her full time. Cue horror that she had to think of someone who wasn’t her.

Well, it is confusing - according to Jack ‘she’s just a woman with a biro’

But where are the eleventy billion % price increases on her list?

I’m in the virtual audience tonight for the closest thing we have to Newsnight
The producer rang yesterday to talk me through it and she said that one of the discussion points will be inflation and the rising costs of food shopping. Glad I’ve opted to be a silent participant

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

Brilliant title. Jack is just horrendous just now. There is no escape and her brown nosing is off the charts. Fingers crossed it will be her downfall.

Is mayo really an essential for the Vain bothersome index Jack? There are some people in the world without running water and you're worrying about the cost increase of condiments now.

And marvellous, all varieties of sardines.
