Jack Monroe #291 What about the price of hummus?

[trueblue222]

Those tweets are grim and unnecessary
Obviously lies though. Especially the council part, how did she have time to attend council meetings when she had a small child. Particularly when childcare issues were cited as one of the reasons for her leaving the fire service. I know SB could have been at grandparents or nursery but in that case, why could they not help Jack when she worked at the fire service?

I remember reading the people article and someone asking her mum why they didn’t help. And her mum said and I totally believe this. That Jack wanted to do it on her own and did not want help. It was was in the online comments

You know what? I’ve always given to charity. When I’ve had the square root of eff right all too. And that’s what annoys me. Loads of people give. All the frigging time.

this is a genuine question. The 100k she claims to have raised for charity. How? Book royalties? Asking people on twitter to donate? Who has she given to. I’m genuinely wanting to know

I’d respect her far more if she closed her Patreon

I'd really like to know, out of that £100k, how much was for the second charity to benefit from the bad taste t-shirts, and which precise charity and or charities were recipients.
Pretty sure I'll never know, but maybe if a Squig asked nicely?

Going rogue and off topic to provide a public health warning - in the spirit of Pringles and growlers

DO NOT GOOGLE MR TUMBLE CAR EXHAUST

Oh dear lord I want to!!! But I don't want to

Oh god, the person she's just fully gone off at wasn't being nasty at all, and seems pretty vulnerable and is now really upset at being misunderstood.

 

[Shimmering]

I wonder how @twitteruk are feeling about this amazing #earthday collab they've paid for?

Just for anyone who’s making their way over here on the back of Jack’s latest poor fishing post:

it’s been 10 years since Jack was poor
She was on benefits for 18 months, tops
She resigned from her call centre job
She visited a food bank ONCE
she has a supportive family who are not short of money
She has written that her son’s dad is supportive and always has been
She rents a massive house, and there is no reason that she would be tied into a year long contract unless she decided to be, after her last partner moved out
Since Lock down 1 she has worked with Del Monte, Hellmans, Linda McCartney, Netflix, Daily Express, GQ, Daily Kitchen Live, This Morning, Twitter (probably more I’ve forgotten).
She currently has a slot on Lorraine.
Her Patreon gives her approx £2.5k a month minimum, and she hasn’t updated it in well over a year.
She is not poor.
the Vimes Boots Index does not exist
SHE HASN'T PAID HER TAXES FOR THREE YEARS.

I’m going to start a petition to have the above statements as the next 12 thread titles. Any one who thinks that’s a bad idea or disagrees with me is a disgusting vile bully and *taps sign* I will remind you that is this *checks notes* my life’s work.

Thankyou and duck off x

She’s a piece of tit, that poor poor bloke. Her fans are demented, utterly rabid.

 

[EllaEm87]

Like duck she never talks about it. Like duck.

Vlad stop being a scamp

Some of the replies to him are horrible. And if she hadn’t been writing her horrible poverty porn thread she would have seen his apology sooner and saved lots of upset.

 

[Veronicaaa]

They tweeted this almost half an hour ago, as she was mid-rant. She's the most terrible person.

This is too much. The guy seems very sweet. I feel so sorry for him, he sounds really upset

I have many years of CBeebies left in my life please don’t put this in front of me!

The most offensive thing to me in that twatrant is putting SEVENTIES in CAPITALS.

I bet a lady in her 70s knows more about budgeting that Cockille St Jack ever did.

Also... @LennyBriscoe ....i googled mr Tumble. Oh yes ...i googled that. It's. the expression on his face.....
