Susie Dent is a 100% a Frau and I wil countenance no other opinion.

Spoiler: Literally starving

Nah this isn't the one. My aunt has had a severe ED for years to the point she looks like skeletor in person. She is literally starving. My Mum has an alcohol addiction and reduces her food intake so she doesn't gain too much weight. Her legs are like pencils.

As someone who is accustomed to looking at family members who are quite literally starving....you can fuck right off Jack.

Jack once wrote a piece on starving on benefits for the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/sep/18/jack-monroe-starve-benefits-england

It raises one important question...just how many people have told Jack Monroe she should have kept her legs shut? Why is it always exactly the same phrase? Did Michael Portillo, her brother, and this random nasty Southender all get together to share notes?

This is racist and sexist. Sue me Jack. I have a black child and a white child. I have never heard anyone say I should have kept my legs shut. You have some truly awful hangups that you need to deal with.

In response to Jack's 'I've paid my taxes' post. Her fans being as delightful as ever to somebody reasonably and politely questioning their leader!

ETA Jack liked the get in the sea comment

Some sensible advice (which Jack will proceed to ignore) in response to the £19 in bank bullshit.

And someone else linking to the wiki.

The one like is from Jack.

To quote Tiffany Pollard talking about Gemma Collins in CBB: “she’s none of those things, she is nothing of the sort”.

Jack looks a completely normal, healthy weight here?

Genuinely confused.

Can you let us know where the proceeds are going Jack? When you get a minute?

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

Just catching up on the Mumsnet thread, which is amazingly still up, and this may explain some of her Jamie Oliver animosity.

I imagine part of Jamie’s ‘beef’ with 30p meals is that he knows that it brings down quality of ingredients, payment for farmers and welfare standard.. not that mrs bollock sausage cares about welfare standards.

Why legs wasted?

She’s back she’s back
Nasty Jack’s back
She’d rather fight on Twitter than get herself into the sack



And not long ago she tweeted her scale of what she gets people to pay her. Does she *literally* forget a tweet after posting it? Fanny.

I'm not going to say much on this, as I don't know enough but I think some of the cases she insensitively invokes are actually failures in care which led to the deaths.

I think that is the case. That Jack uses these tragedies for her own clout is truly disturbing.
A family friend died under lack of care circumstances. He had health issues that were fobbed off. He'd been put on benefit sanctions, and died of pneumonia at 42. He left behind three kids.
I hate she exploits people like him. They're not real to her. They're just there so she can try and shock people into shutting up.

I wouldn't call myself Christian these days, but honestly, Matthew 6:5 makes a good point.
(one version of it says "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets". lol)

Parma ham, artichokes and black truffle reminded me of what I used to eat when I was working class

 

[ednaturnblad]

She doesn’t understand us or our lives, she views us through a middle class prism. She is a caricature of a working class woman with all the toughness, all the joy and all the camaraderie sucked out.

Jack lives in a large house in an expensive area, has a decent passive income (Patreon), and can apparently pick and choose when she works (if you believe her 'turning down' TV offers is true).

However, she RENTS, eats Smartprice food, and gets angry sometimes, so she must be working class.

Her world view is based on stereotypes.

£19 in her bank account

I liked it when we started calling the flying monkeys “rage chimps”

 

[Yel]

Back over a decade ago when she actually worked for a bit, didn't everyone have this in their email signature?
