Jack Monroe #312 She just throws adjectives at a page and hopes for the best

Polly Morphus · May 25, 2022

Getting out the old crystal ball.... the big thing will be: SB gets statemented as being neuro-diverse, allowing Jack to claim all sorts of freebies from the council/government.
Possibly m'lud.

In her original blog, agirlcalledjack (now deleted but thankfully archived), she used to refer to her son as Small Boy.

Since autumn 2015 she has considered herself transgender or non-binary. At one stage she was the media’s go-to NB spokesperson, she only mentions it very occasionally now and has largely stopped presenting androgynous. She is happy with she or they pronouns.

The name change came long before all that, in 2011. She claims she changed her surname because of racism (it was a long Greek name), I seem to remember Monroe was inspired by Marilyn, then she changed her first name too because the alliteration of her original M first name was too much. She picked Jack because of the saying “Jack of all trades”.

Or did changing her name distance herself from a family name that is associated with money perhaps?

If she’s just attending something, she’s getting an award. Big things are made tiny. Tiny things are made huge. She’s so weird

I think it's a diagnosis for SB. And Jack might be surprised that it takes more than an "educational psychologist" with a brief case to do said diagnosis. That said, I'm surprised that she hasn't mentioned waiting lists etc.

Probably just a two fingers up at her parents tbh.

LOL the last screenshot, the person who said 'if she's becoming a labour candidate, she won't get my vote' is someone Jack actually follows. The Jackolytes are piling on regardless.

Yes! What better way to reinvent yourself as a “scummy single mummy on the dole” than to get rid of your very distinctive name associated with your restaurant and guesthouse owning landlord grandad? And your very prominent Local Hero and senior fire service manager dad?

Li’l band, Li’l Band of Horrors!

Uh oh don’t get us started on musicals Jack, we’ll be here all night. Well, I’m going for dinner but I’m sat in the car on Tattle because my adhd panicking over always being late has resulted in me being 45 minutes early.

Don't know why I started singing Abba. Barely need to change the lyrics:

I work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad?

And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me

That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man/fan
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the Jackie World
Tummy feeling funny
Where’s the bunny?
In the Jackie World

Ahaaaa...
All the things I could do
If my dinners weren’t so runny
It’s a Jackie World.

“You people are weird.” Has to be a thread title nomination

It was all a character for the paper, she just loved the attention too much.

Can I retract my recent comment about her moving to Cyprus and becoming a goat herder? M'Lud?

I think she might be looking at renting a business premises and opening a cafe/restaurant

God no please no.
There is no town in this country that deserve to see the grand opening of Jack's Slop Spot.

And I'm going to quote myself like a twit and say it'll be a 'no food waste' type of place. So collecting excess from supermarkets and local businesses.

There. I said it.

She's far too lazy and work-shy for something like that IMHO.

Someone needs to warn her that she will end up being bitterly disappointed. No one gives a tit once a child has a diagnosis
