Yes. Very niche. It used to contain 6 books. It potentially will contain 7 if this book is real.

I think the book started out as 'Modern British Cookery', and then the genius idea to add austerity tips. I think any idea of getting it out soon will be to take advantage of Jack being in the limelight and so possible interest. If there is any suggestion of giving it out at food banks I will howl and claw the floor.
ETA The tweet has been referenced by a food bank app who said the book would be 'on their list'. I only hope they were speaking in a personal capacity.

Isn't that what Secret Santa is for?
It's not like it'll be ready this side of Christmas, anyway....
Can I go back a couple of pages to the chat about partners and conception. There’s mention of previously losing a baby? I’ve never come across that before.
Will it be ready before the Inventing BootSlopCook (Working title) documentary comes out on Netflix?Isn't that what Secret Santa is for?

I’m no forum police, but probably not something to chat about on here I feel
The things is though, for all she has a big Twitter following it doesn't translate into all that much support really. 758 patreons (mostly thanks to Mom) is a tiny fraction of her twitter followers. There will be a bigger market for one off ways of showing support like buying a book or a weird fascist t-shirt but I can't see it being massive. The ten grand that she has totally raised and will absolutely be sending to the Trussell Trust on 4th March will come as much from idiots who want a perk for giving to charity as much as people who want to blow smoke up her arse.
She posted about it on mumsnet - https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-261-serial-loser.27640/page-34#post-8601181
+1 such a subject can be hugely triggering and the ninnies here deserve better than having to read that tit.
I have had (to my shame) all sorts of hairstyles over the years, including, amongst others...
Shoulder length permed hair.
Permed afro.
Bleached stripes in my hair that I coloured different shades, from green to red.
Punk multi coloured Mohican.
Head shaved one side and the other half chin length bob.
Facial piercings and a shaved head.
Blond chin length curtains.
Marcus Wareing looky likey
This was in the 60's through to the 90's, when tolerance for difference was not as it is now. All these were commented on, but mostly with a "good grief, what have you done now". I got very little negativity, well not to my face. I know people looked and probably said stuff behind my back, but to be truthful, that was the point.
I am amazed that in a much more enlightened and tolerant times, Jack wants us to believe that so many people would actually be judgemental to her face. It just doesn't ring true.
I did get homophobic comments, and can believe that people would, even today, comment on her sexuality (whatever that is at the moment), but tattoos, clothes and hair? I am not buying it.

Jeez I proper fed up with her fekkin about with her desire to be ScottishDid ye, aye?
You’re a fake- a poverty porn star - with shite taste.
But with your salt and peppered beard you are such a distinguished Modern British Cook
.In all seriousness, I am with you. Finding it hard to put into words, so I won’t. She needs to just stop.
Absolutely no wish to start a full blown conversation, I just saw a quote posted and it took me aback as it wasn’t something I’d seen before. My train of thought was that I’d been reading here and musing on how much of SB’s life has always been exposed on SM and how much of her own life from the interior layout and decor of her house and its security, to the colour and consistency of her bodily functions and her most private thoughts.
My mind is boggling at how someone who purports to be a professional public figure can sit on Twitter and all the other platforms she’s used, almost 24/7, spewing every intimate detail. I feel sorry for people who have to interact with her in every day life.
Agreed.
I mean, they might comment on how tit the tattoos are and that they look like they were drawn by a drunk toddler, but I don't think many people give much a tit about them anymore.
I was checking out my own tattoos, my first one is older (purportedly) than Jack and it actually looks better than most of hers! I had it done back in 1985 and it's still sitting there looking better than it really should

Thankyou so much. Sometimes I feel like I’m not making a difference and then one of my many ailments will flare up and knock me sideways for days (or weeks, depending on the urgency of any deadline). To know that I’M having such a positive impact is AMAZING! I really hope that a forever pod will arrive someday - it’s hard on your own. SB doesn‘t call round much any more and being a head in a jar means I don’t have much to offer 26th century lesbians (not to mention the lack of available cake). An MBE would be amazing; it’s what Pa would have wanted and I could stand proudly (well, stick my chin out proudly) on Xmas Day when Queen Asphyxia addresses us all. DM me your details and I’ll drop a completed VBI into your inbox as soon as it’s completed (or the inbox of one of your descendants). Thankyou again! X

When I was teaching (university age), so many of my students had tattoos and nobody batted an eyelid - and many of them were studying medicine, law, etc rather than how to be a Twitter grifter.
Apart from personal preference, the only times people spoke negatively about them were if they were a truly bad idea - 19 yr olds getting their girlfriend's name tattooed, for example, or one girl who had got a face tat. It's worth noting that all Jack's tattoos are on her arms, where she can easily cover them if the mood strikes her. And she frequently does cover them!
Hair colour is even less of an issue. No one gives a tit. Literally no one.

Give us the purple BBQ sauce hair Jack. I have things to do today, I put a check (table order not ££) through with my black uniform in the wash and it’s a real mess (hopefully like your hair,) I want to make a cacio e pepe with the lint rollings before work this avo x
My 60 year old mother in law has purple hair. It's really not a big deal.
