Jack Monroe #248 Let's face it, she's the Rachel Dolezal of poverty

[Veronicaaa]

I know it's really unlikely to happen, but I would love it if she got banned from her local Asda and had to slum it in Lidl or Aldi like the rest of us!

Jack trying to disguise herself so she can sneak into the Shoebury Asda

Can’t seem to escape the facts Jackie Gal.

Who knew the editor of the Financial Times was going to be the hero we have been waiting for!

Go Chris! My mood is improving already. Jack relies on people taking her statements as fact, but when people who actually work in the field come out to play, she’s not equipped to do anything but snark.

 

[colouredlines]

Just looking at her list, it's full of shit like tinned chicken in white sauce, tinned Irish stew etc. Is this genuinely what she thinks poor people consider weekly essentials? They're poor, they're not preppers ffs!

 

[Emmapism]

This has been a very enjoyable Grunk. 8 out of 10, would Grunk again.

 

[Veronicaaa]

She's not included the prices of those things in her screenshot, so she's not doing a price match, she's just seeing if they still exist as part of the "Smart Price" range - they may have been rebranded and be just as cheap.

 

[Bugger13]

Using your cat to passive aggressively accuse the FT economics editor of ‘wilful misrepresentation’ of facts.
What a petulant, cowardly wanker.

 

[Veronicaaa]

Jack literally none of this can be described as "evidence"

 

[FlirtyThirty]

there should be some sort of german word for the feeling of unease you get when you've done a morning's work and log in here to see there's 13 pages to grunk...

Shitengrunkenagain

 

[Silver Linings]

And because of the aff link, you morons.

 

[Cookiecookie]

Oh she is starting an argument with Sir Chris

I bet he knows even bigger Big Maths

How many times has she said she can’t keep track of her notebooks and that’s why recipes are written on scraps? Jesus christ.

 

[OwlRightsReserved]

Who was it who predicted an accusation of mansplaining? The squigs have gone there. How dare *checks notes* the editor of the FT tweet about economic news?

Also, if I have to read the phrase "lived experience" once more today, I shall perish. Anecdotes =/= data, even in quantity.

 

[jenny2603]

Yeah, about that...

Not Susie Mate as well. We're like the last human survivors in a zombie film.

 

[Veronicaaa]

Chris is definitely onto her. But imagine just meeting with the ONS and then going to post about it on twitter, only for the ONS (and Chris Giles) to get inundated with posts like these. Really screams professionalism, doesn't it?

 

[blurstoftimes]

why didn’t she just say the moleskines were a gift from a dear precious gentle friend who she will NOT name because they are an incredibly private person who does not deserve to be subjected to this hellsite, thank you very much

Jack you can't wang on about smart price tinned fruit being discontinued when you told everyone to buy Del Monte instead.
