Jack Monroe IS A HUMAN BIN FIRE STOP GIVING HER ALL YOUR CASH YOU FUCKWIT SQUIGS
This caught me completely off guard, I’d just taken a big mouthful of tea and just snorted out loud. Bravo!

On topic - I’m not angry at Nigella, just very disappointed. (Channelling my mum there.)

With her latest burglary, squigs were helpfully tagging Essex police so presumably they would do the same if there was any need for the fire brigade. Which might be a bit embarrassing for Daddy dearest . Tbh that’s the only reason I don’t think she will take inspiration of any kind from that tweet .
Then again, it’s Jack, so who fucking knows

Bloody hell Nigella! Let's imagine for a second that we live in an alternate universe where Jack Monroe pays her taxes, cooks nice food and can do sums properly. I would still object to someone like Nigella with such a huge platform (2.7m Twitter followers, I just checked) encouraging people to donate in support of a single individual, rather than a charity that helps lots of people.
The money that's been added to Jack's coffers today could have gone so far to help so many people and that's what makes me so angry.

Oh I know & agree, absolutely no offence taken, and often find ppl are very much like this wrt clothing especially, like ppl can be very dismissive and deem it shallow/a waste of money as a £2.30 top is just the same blah blah blah.

Personally believe it’s relevant with Jackie tho cos she doesn’t stop going on about a house. Admittedly prep school is less relevant as anyone who’s taken a wander into that social media sphere can see how different SB’s family life is to her insane spending pit, and she doesn’t appear to even leave the house with him much less have any desire to commit to a £Xk pcm direct debit for his education.

I just find it bizarre that given SUCH a leg up she chooses to forego the privileges/opportunities this grants her in favour of actual tat? Like to not even have a car when your son lives a non walking distance away and you’re at the very least a HRTP is fucking weird to me, and not in a car is an asset or class emblem way just this doesn’t make sense as a lifestyle choice, surely? Sorry to be judgmental and you’re right it’s all subjective but she’s living like a student on loan drop day, still.

I can't believe what I am seeing.
I've vented at length to Mr Bisha tonight who, after my tirade, went silent and scrolled grimly for half an hour.
He then turned to me with haunted eyes and whispered the catchphrase of the newly-minted Herr: What the FUCK?!
He's an accountant and honestly if he doesn't screech "Stop getting spreadsheets wrong!" in the general direction of Southend tonight, none will be more surprised than I.

I totally agree, but the way she will reason it is that Jack IS helping lots of people.....by sitting on Twitter all day.

We no longer need Charities, Jack is singlehandedly doing it all now. Through slop and tweets.

One can only hope....but then again...
She would have had plenty of opportunities to do chip pan demos/flash over training/ playing a casualty...I had a mate who worked as support staff (circa Jack's era funny enough although no talking to them about what a charlatan she is) and they did all of this.... wouldn't trust her not to set a small fire herself ..she seems capable of anything despicable these days....Still hopefully the prospect of the fire investigation team turning up would make her think twice...who knows!

I wonder if Nigella actually realises what she's asked people to donate to

I wonder if Nigella is gonna get some kickback when the postcards, recipes and Patreon promises fail to materialise? Let's face it most of these new subs have come directly from her endorsement.
Come on Kim

I wonder if Nigella even runs her own social media, or if some misguided well-meaning member of her staff has seen Jack in the news and decided to give her a boost. Although I'd imagine they'd still need to run it by Nigella first. Who knows?!

Thing is, that’s a minimum - we just know that there will be a few paying the maximum, especially after fluffy-brained Nigella’s endorsement (). Does anyone know what the maximum tier is?
And Nigella really should have caveated her recommendation - no doubt some people will have been encouraged to give more than they could afford on the basis of her tweet. Some of them probably significantly less well off than Jack.

Nigella would surely have seen Jack's most recent burglar bill before/after/lights on/lights off post, not to mention the months and months and months of rehab/recovery tweets. I'm not saying people in recovery don't deserve work, obv, but is it really the best time to send her a whole pile of extra pigs, Nige? When she's already so BUSY with the Vines Foot's? Bearing in mind that with them comes some responsibility and WORK to actually provide them with something for their money? Why Nige, why?!
