Jack Monroe #321 It's just that Jack wasn't especially cool or well liked

[MooBelle]

Ah, too quick with the new thread! I was mid reply to @Hackastory ....
To me it sounds like the sad fishing lies have pushed someone to be so concerned about her that they've done a welfare call.
Pick one, any one. Being burgled, stalked, repeatedly going on about her MH and harming herself. Even without a specific incident her recent SM behaviour has been manic. And we can't even begin to understand what is happening off SM. Possible she's threatened hurting herself, or not answering her phone or emails or letters. She could've said something in her very well publicised private meetings on a Monday. She could've had another of her tantrums and sparked worry in someone.
Or, as others have said, it could be because she's threatened or doxxed someone. Or maybe posted a very public photo of herself straddling a live round of ammunition in a public place with a can of (albeit low alcohol) beer in her hand.

While it's quiet, I have a funny story for the Frauen. This week I went off to a new parents evening for a small child's shiny new school. It was all going swimmingly until I looked up at the classroom door and realised that I was in J1g. I became deceased!!

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

I bet the lovely officers made a swift exit once they were offered a slow cooker tea and some spite trifle.

My guess is something is brewing and this is her trying to get ahead of it.

 

[traumatised sideboard]

God, imagine you're struggling with your sobriety and you answer your phone to a quavering honk asking how you are. 'Well it's a good job you called actually, I'm having a bad day, I-' 'yes, I'm having a hard time too. Harold said he won't take me to Lidl in his big car until I clean the kitchen and then some bullying trolls rang the police to invite them round for tea. Fortunately I'd vacuumed before they turned up because I really want that soldering iron. Anyway, lovely to chat. Go well darling'.

 

[Orphan_Black]

They'd hardly give it back unwashed you fucking moron.

*Quivering nasal voice* "You need to pay the floor staff more without raising prices. The solution is simple - we need to print more money..."

Meeting over

Jack is very much a Caitlin Moran by another name, I remember Caitlin's book of extremely brave political essays which was like, "When I think about the immigrant children, I feel sad, for it's CRUCIAL to be KIND to people who are different. As a council estate URCHIN in Wolverhampton, I [continues for 90,000 words]"

It's amazing. No matter what Jack tweets about, these gullible spunkbubbles want to buy her a house.

The cats' done a whoopsie in me beret- have a house
I've had a malicious welfare check- have a house
I made a trifle- have a house.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Surely the only reason you’d deem that malicious is if a) it was made up so you’re mortified that what is a totally false claim has been brought in front of the police who will ask for evidence to progress their work or b) this is the type of thing *you* would do maliciously?

I’m going with a

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

I see her more as a Nellie

Some genius Frau called her Budget Jones last night and I can’t stop laughing at that!

 

[MooBelle]

'small comfort there is at least one man in prison for it'. 'It' being 'these things'..? Ah Jack, using her words with laser precision as ever. So clear, so unambiguous.

Posting from the future so not sure where this lands, but this is typical of Jack.
She's not lying but not being truthful either.
There is a man who went to prison who also trolled Jack, but the prison sentence was for his attacks on another woman (and her family) She now posts on here from time to time. I won't tag her because I haven’t seen her in a while.
This man accused her (our friend) of abusing the family of Lee Rigby and animal cruelty. She got horrendous abuse and death threats, as did her family. THAT'S what he went to prison for, not the couple of tweets he sent Jack.

Jack branches into travel writing:
As I trailed out of Glasgow Central Station, I felt tired, low and blue. A man in a suit had looked at me on the train, clearly thinking, "What is a single mother doing in first class?" I had cringed and melted into my train seat, chewing on nails and Opal Fruits as I longed to disappear. When he asked me to move my feet out of the aisle so he could move past, I knew he was really saying, "You don't belong here, go back to a DARK flat in 2010!"
But out of the murk, a sign leaped up and danced to my cracked and weary eyes. Seeing the name plastered across the sign, I thought it sounded a bit fancy and pricey, but I bit the bullet. Isn't travel all about branching out? Hurtling into the place, a fantastic smell of pastry and coffee greeted me. "Hello," smiled the woman behind the counter, with a classically Scottish expression of delight at seeing my sad little face. "Can I help you?" she gushed. Well, long story short, I was bowled over by the service in Costa Coffee Glasgow Central and would go there again in a heartbeat-

 

[MistyWindows]

I’m so sorry about this.

*Plot twist* the police officers were there after she made a whole village violently sick from the peasant pudding trifle - they’re taking her into *custardy*

 

[HotesTilaire]

That actually feels like an unfair and exclusionary interview practice. Obviously it isn’t true but what if someone from another station or office was to apply it would be a discrimination case easily.
What if the person applying was autistic and extremely shy to socialise with others so didn’t know many other people’s names?

Clear bullshit

So PQA is the standard competency-based interview. Meaning there is no way they would ask you to name staff as that’s not in the Job Spec is it? Anyway what if I tell you Bob the cleaner has a secret love child and Doris has gambling debts. How you gonna check?

 

[MooBelle]

I just had a small aneurysm.
I was skim reading the threads I follow and was on the Jodie Marsh one. I lost track of which thread I was on because they refer to her as 'JM'.
Talking about JM's boyfriend's necrophilia accusation and buying some emus. I was like JACK'S DONE WHAT?!!!!!!
I've had a cup of tea and calmed down a bit now.

 

[panda_eyes]

AHAHAHAHA BURN

 

[Pocahontas]

Big D: ‘Does she suspect it was I who called Frank up at the station?’

Jack Ma: ‘She hasn’t guessed yet, no.’

Big D: ‘Good girl. Play it cool.’

Jack's mum, presumably asking if the police know who the caller was:

Imagine you're a cleaner in 2010, just getting on with mopping the floor to a high standard when madam decides to start boasting about her tattoos and banging on about her 34 part time jobs paying 50k p/a. Nightmare

I silently judge collaeagues who claim to always make time to speak to cleaners etc. Of course every single person is potentially worthy of conversation, but only wankers feel the need to point out their egalitarian attitude by speaking to those the consider beneath them.. Making a point of it is patronising and shows your snobbery.
if you like them, say hello, have a chat. Don't advertise it. Don't pretend to like them its patronising and transparent.

 

[Rekyavikgirl]

I could have watched it online, but I have unfortunately earmarked that exact date and time to pick the fluff out of my belly button. Would you believe it?

I'll be washing my pumble.

Now I’m about 38 burzilkion pages behind. On a hard grunk.

Not a copper or a lawyer m’lud, but I do work in criminal justice. Just saying.

This police scenario 1 million thousand hundred billion percent DID NOT HAPPEN.
