Jack Monroe #260 Stop trying to make macro philanthropy happen, it’s not going to happen

[Nottonightbabe]

He made her a toastie. Does she mean her kid made it?

Hmmm are you suggesting that might be 75p cooking bacon on that toastie...

 

[help i need some help!]

There may be trouble ahead

 

[Thank(space)you]

God how is she still relevant

Thread title suggestion/nomination

 

[HotesTilaire]

Did that melts melt have black pepper all oblong the side in a line, or was it dirt?

 

[Soapy Dolphin]

Have you all had your dinner? I was just about to sidle up to the fridge and see what's lurking. Will have to tell Mr Soapy D about bum guns now.

Christ!

 

[Captainmouse]

I know it exists but I can’t find that post where she says she was giving up cooking bacon and substituting it for This Isn’t Bacon, around the time of the viggle rebellion .

that was then!

 

[fauxpoor]

Fixed that for her…

All of this photo is vile, but her filthy hands are giving me the BIG BOAK!

 

[Lazarus]

She only bought the bloody bag today; how many fucking washings has she managed to do so far?!

Why does she lie about washing pants?

Hot/cooked celery makes me very sad.

So it’s basically a shower hose for your bum?

Just climb into the shower if you keep creating such disasters that you need to be hosed off. This "Tips for Frugal Living" racket isn't so hard.

Jacks tinned tomato tweet, is something JO taught us all years ago and someone else who does lovely little food recipes on Instagram recently also reminded us all.

I think advertising standards would be the body to investigate. The statement that 100% of the profits go to charity is part of the sales pitch.

I want to know if that 100% 'profit' is after she's taken her cut. I bet the announcement on the donation amount never happens, or it's a couple of grand at most...

 

[ednaturnblad]

Can't lie, tinned spud curry is still a fav of mine from my student days. (Just tinned spuds and a jarred sauce, you can go fancy and add peppers, treat yo'self).

It's sounds like a proper Jack recipe written down, I feel shame.

I once had a takeaway curry which contained tinned potatoes and you know what, it was nice.

Is No.9 Poor greens?

 

[jenny2603]

Such classic Jackness, period poverty is a real problem, there are some fantastic initiatives that could be spotlit, but no, let's go for the misery memoir instead.

 

[Vanelope]

GOSH. THANK YOU for your diligent cataloguing of Jack's timeline. What a read! I have not been this shook since I was 7-years-old and the Scooby Doo gang unmasked the nice old man who run the funfair as the villain - What??? Devastated.

Blimey, I always liked her - I'm a bit of an armchair lefty - she was fighting the good fight, etc. BUT I have had growing suspicions and the thing which finally rattled the cage was when she took credit for the supermarkets bringing back their value ranges last month - NO - you did not do that! It's ludicrous to claim you did. Do you really think we are going to fall for that? Oh, shit, we did - 500 new subscribers to her Patreon last month. This will make her thousands of pounds per month. THOUSANDS OF POUNDS. PER MONTH. From ONE stream of revenue. She can't possibly continue to plead poverty now. Can she? CAN SHE???? Sorry, I am new here

 

[ednaturnblad]

She goes on about it like she’s discovered a Primark dupe for Urban Decay eyeshadow that’s just as pigmented but only costs £4. BORING.

This is the best thing I’ve ever read on here

Here they come in a glass jar which makes them look like they belong in a mad scientist's lab:

They are three times as expensive as raw!

Wow!
I'd have definitely called beans on those if the label had gone.

 

[Hollaaa]

It was bizarre. I *think* it was intended to spark nostalgic romantic feelings in LJC after she LEFT. I just keep trying to imagine how you'd feel if you'd split up with someone and they responded by going to Edinburgh, titting about in wigs and then posting evidence of this lunacy all over social media.

Was it the TV festival around that time? Might have been cancelled due to the plague but I have a dim memory that she had been booked and it fell through, or *someone* was speaking and shared plans had to change for she LEFT reasons.
Disclaimer: can't remember if this actually happened, or is two events conflated or just a weird dream from that time, I'm going to blame panny D.

£10 says that the reason her machine is chewing everything is because she's overloading it.

Something her ex girlfriends will relate to

 

[Feck]

Doctor told her to eat fish for her fake arthritis........

That bacon don't look right at all.

Certainly doesn't look like fish.
