Was this her "plan" for the forever home all along? Wait for someone of sufficient prominence to say something she could seize upon with the libel angle, amplify it as much as possible so as to maximise the alleged damage to her reputation, then take them to the cleaners? She's that lethal combination of unbearably cocky and spectacularly thick so I can actually imagine her thinking it would work.

Jack will consider her wonky head, her recovery, her shy and retiring OH CRIKEY and (last) her son and sadly decide that she's too exhausted to proceed even though it was a cast iron absolute win

I’m going to spoiler this again re Tiffin

I believe Tiffin has more than one diagnosed personality disorder and that was referred to in court but I also believe he has quite a specific medical condition that leads to him having to use a wheelchair. In the beginning of the grift photos of him and his family on Turkey surfaced and he wasn’t happy. He was up and walking around and that was commented on . I am very aware that some physical medical conditions fluctuate as well so I am not trying to suggest that he doesn’t need his wheelchair. But he’s a shocking liar and a grifter and a grade A horrible person who has had a fortune from people who can’t afford to give. He is a nasty horrible grifting twat. At one point he was asking people to buy him pot noodles and boxer shorts on his Amazon wish list. He’s also an ex Snp member who changed to labour just at the start of his grift because labour have more supporters on twitter and more supporters equals more dosh. He keeps that he used to be SNP very quiet.

Daubeny is awake now too… she won’t like this!
Sue Gemma as well, Jack!

More seriously, things like cooking classes are great. I'm all for free and accessible opportunities for people to learn new skills. The problem is that I think people like Lee Anderson are overstating the extent of the problem as it relates to foodbanks. Even if every last person in the country had good cooking and budgeting skills we'd still have foodbanks because if your benefits don't turn up as expected, you don't get shifts on your zero hours contract, there is a personal emergency of some sort, you get a bigger than expected bill you need to make cuts somewhere and quite often that ends up being food. The cost of living is outpacing peoples income and no amount of cooking lessons or budgeting advice is going to address that problem.

No, Lee Anderson is a cunt¹, and him being sued by Jack would be quite hilarious, actually. I doubt it will happen, though for reasons already discussed.

¹because, spoilered for Off Topic and sensitivity: he previously worked for the Labour party and was involved in smearing the then Lib Dem candidate with allegations of sex abuse which turned out to be absolute bollocks. He then joined the Tories and got elected as an MP. Said ex-Lib Dem, Jason Zadrozny, is now the District Council leader as an independent.

I wonder if she can answer the question - Jack, when was the last time you physically set foot in a Foodbank? When was the last time you actually did anything that used even a moment of energy to physically help someone in any tangible way? No. I don’t mean tweeting about the Trussel Trust, or creating online jumpers with questionable slogans (the money you received still unaccounted for). I mean, when have you ever spent any energy or any of your own (earned) money, on people in poverty? I’ll wait, pal.

But unfortunately all of this intelligent and worthy debate is now going to be lost because Jack had her feelings hurt.

Perfect opportunity lost in preference of self pity, as usual

I think she’s just a gobshite who is so full of herself she cannot take any kind of criticism and because she won the Hopkins case has got used to threatening people who criticise her with legal action. She needs to bear in mind that she could lose. Like. Back to this point. What has been said about her that isn’t true. She IS a grifter who takes money from people who have less than her. That isn’t libel nor is it slander.

It seems like some of our hammer and sickle squigs (my personal favourite kinda squig) were previously unaware of Jack's maverick methods of ~altruism~. So it's nice they're finding out now

I have a riddle before I head out.

How can one be a best seller if they don't sell books?

Answers on the back of 50 pound notes. Cheers! Have a lovely day!

I'm so late to this chaos! Took a break from the threads, then I just saw on Twitter that 'Jack Monroe' was trending and came here to see wtf is going on. Going to get some popcorn, will be right back...

She is basically trying to exterminate anyone who encroaches on her’patch’.
If the poors learn to cook, Jack won’t be their saviour and she won’t sell books or be on TV. Even though she claims that she doesn’t earn any money from her work. A wolf in sheeps clothing.
Seeing her say that she ‘only’ got £24K from the Katie Hopkins case should have showed the squigs Jack’s attitude to money. But they’re fools.

The recipes all sound great too. Instead of bollock sausage curry
I know, I was just thinking that, reading the article. They should pull together a cookbook as a fundraiser- even just a PDF in exchange for a donation type thing. I'd certainly buy a copy, I'd be happy to buy Jack one too as lets face it she really does need cooking and budgeting advice.
