Jack Monroe #316 Bizarrely, Jack seems to have misread the research

[PoorPatrol]

it's hilarious to me that jack thinks writing an extra unrequested 54 recipes is anything other than a massive bleeping pain in her publisher's arse. i wonder which insta pics she was zooming in on to figure out the recipe (god forbid you actually cook something)...was it the bowl of brown slop...or...the bowl of brown slop?

The mark of the narc - this very annoying and inconvenient thing is a favour to you all, because it’s by ME!

Reminds me so much of a narc I’m now NC with. They used to shake me awake first thing on a weekend with a big plate of food and tea, and then be angry when I wasn’t enthusiastically hopping out of bed and eating because they’d been so kind! Ughh, narc memories

That pic of her isn't horrible, it is also very posed. So there's that.

Hello Fraus und Herren. Long time no post. I will just read the recaps or my break away will have been for nought.

I am off for my 5th Covid vaccine today. Has Jack had her second dose yet? So immunocompromised and disabled. The medication needed for her poor arthritic hands would surely warrant booster jabs, let alone her multitude of ailments.

I was also at the lady doctor this morning. She had two full sleeves of tattoos. It really isn't that unusual. Second thoughts, maybe tattoos on women are unusual in the retirement village that is Thorpe Bay.(Though I have to say, the doctors tattoos were really beautiful, unlike Jack's)

Hello MancBee, sorry to be a creep but I've been reading old threads and just wanted to say I found your posts very touching. That's it!

Something that has gone up a bazillion* per cent

*approx

Reeses peanut butter cups. Used to get three, now you get two. For the same 70 pence.

Rude

Send doggos

5 for a squid or 3 x2 jumbos for £1.20 not that I far too many of these. The butterfinger cups were awesome but they LEFT!

but mackies not tracking them so…

Absolute scenes

 

[Veronicaaa]

Just unbelievably self-absorbed.

 

[Ellabella]

She is driving me absolutely nuts at the moment. Get on with your very, very overdue work Jack. WTF are you doing posting pictures of yourself and dicking about non-stop on Twitter?

I cannot stand procrastination and dithering. The slowness in which some people fill their car with petrol or time taken at a cash point drives me crackers. And don't get me started on the utter bullshit of her sleeping through 12 alarms and missing work.

“that’s not altogether horrible” who talks like that? FFS!

“Oh look I just happened to find this old very posed photo, so tell me how amazing I look guys!”

 

[Veronicaaa]

Was this picked up last night? First of all, I read it as a 'you're no Dawn Foster' kind of jibe but second of all it annoyed me because, you know, Jack never once mentioned DF when she died (she never so much as liked a tweet about her), or in the years before that.

Reader, she was 5

So how is it the final final final edit then, Jack, if you're still doing it by hand?

 

[moldwarp]

It was corbyn supporters who were being purged back in the day and other socialists are still being suspended from the party.

I find Jack's (alleged) eviction interesting though. If it's true that she'd been booted out but didn't realise and just went ahead and announced she was standing as an MP, without even bothering to contact the party and go through the nominations process - that's just ridiculous. Being an MP isn't a performative thing Jack. You need the backing of your party. The idea that she might have thought she could just announce it in the press and it just magically happen is the epitome of entitlement, given that she's clearly ambivalent about the Labour party, being picture campaigning for the Greens in 2015, and criticising Corbyn, only to slavishly eulogise him ('comrade') last year.

Those blog archives are something else too. She comes off as a very locally wannabe prominent figure, bit of a Karen, middle class Daily Mail reader type person. Nothing wrong at all with that kind of person, and I think it's probably who she genuinely is. But it's very different from the edgy, WC left wing genderfluid maverick persona she later cultivated.

Think she was standing for some health party and not Labour. Lasted all of ten days though. I assume she wasn't a Labour member then.

She withdrew the bid due to crippling arthritis and getting two letters saying die you witch delivered to her house.

Where has she said she was kicked out of Labour

And if they’ve already done the photoshoot for it (which won’t be all recipes as they never are) then adding another 54 will skew the photo to non-photo recipe ratio really badly, surely?

Yes, and the very public selling of her stuff that looks like a flyer for a festival, she’s styling herself already as “A Girl Called Jack!” . Err, like you’re selling your tit because you’re starving, yes? Not trying to create a buzz around your name, talking to the radio and papers?

Bandwagon and jumping comes to mind (shocking because it’s so VERY unlike Jack!)

Is the Daily Kitchen ringbinder full of our remarks and helpful feedback? Shall we all get to meet it in court? I want a posh barrister to say 'grunka'.

‘Depressipes’ lives on

Yep. The ‘depressipes’ that don’t work, as she’s always telling us she’s depressed and can’t cook. What a bleeping joke to not only tell people to cook their way out of depression, but doesn’t even pretend they can do it themselves!
