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

It 100% wouldn’t have been a welfare check. These only happen if there is concern expressed about immediate risk to self (or others) and police would insist on taking the details and contact number of the reporter. It usually happens when a service or friend/family member hasn’t been able to reach someone who is at potential risk. In my area, police are so overstretched that they have limited capacity to complete welfare checks so will ask for loads of information and push back if possible. I imagine it’s the same everywhere! So I suspect that either it’s just complete nonsense OR the police did rock up at her house but for another issue and she is trying to fabricate a reason for this in case they were spotted entering or leaving her shitty bungalow.

I thought a police welfare check was immediate if there are children in the house.

And now I just imagined Jack dating Jodie Marsh

Definite OH curveball there.

ETA- how is she STILL not up?

I'm rather surprised in the telling of this tale the police weren't starstruck when they met Jack and told her 'off the record' how much they admire what she is doing, and that Mrs Policeman is a big fan and uses her cookbooks all the time.
Rather like Mrs Columbo.

Maybe she has her sleeves rolled down and her glasses on?

It's a little unnerving how quiet Jack is at the moment...

I need to stop reading this thread before I go to bed, I had a dream that I was JM and worked in the back office of a phone shop with Simon Pegg and we fell in love what a bizarre dream!

Oh no you don't! I will kick shins! I call bagsy on Simon Pegg.

If she does produce recipes for diabetics I hope someone from a charity representing diabetics steps in. I would not like to see her go after a person with diabetes who questions any recipes she posts. She withdrew from the degree in nutrition she had started as she had too much on. Why does she think she is qualified to produce recipes for people who have medical needs?

Because she’s a literal food expert, HTH x

 

[WTFDidIJustSee]

I diagnose Jack is a cunt.

Spoiler: “HPD rail, don’t know if images will be in the spoiler or nah, cos I’m 344% not a T”

From a feminist perspective, I really dislike any mention of HPD. The history of what happened to women who were diagnosed is foul, it was used by abusers to silence them and have them thrown in asylums. It’s been recommended multiple times that it’s thrown out of the DSM. Two screenshots from just one report - there are a lot more out there and it’s disturbing.

My son is on an apprenticeship like this. He tried college but 2 more years of formal education weren't for him. He loves working (weirdo ). So he's doing an apprenticeship in something he loves, working in an environment he's happy in with good work mates and he's assigned to a 'mentor' who he works with every day. So proper on the job training + block weeks of off site college based training. So not all apprenticeships are bad. There aren't really any other options for 16/17 year olds who don't want to continue in full time education.

Pay is lower but they have to spend 20% of their work time training, so I think employers factor it in. In my industry you can be qualified by 20/21 and then climb to a really decent wage by mid 20s. You do need to pick carefully though and see what the career progression looks like once the training period is done.

Oh Hashy, I always pretend I just.... might....make it to the show..

I actually think people will indeed turn up to her show... she's a "name".

The venue is very very close to my office....but ...quite far from the aparthotel.

This is so sad, she even has to sloppify mini eggs. Genuinely worrying.

I reckon it would be a lethal combination of slop and shell-shard shrapnel.

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

To be forensic about it
A fud is the name given to the tail of a rabbit and therefore ladies front bums became known as fuds because of the pubes resemblance…..
Either that all my whole life I’ve been under misapprehension.

Our favourite game is finding number plates that we would totally refuse.

(I don’t know if you can refuse number plates but the game is fun)

 

[Allaboutthehashtag]

Surely she has to sample a roll and fritter as well.... and a pickle

Or a pizza crunch. Or a munchie box

Then she can go back to Essex and claim she invented them

I reckon stovies will make it south of the border with corned beef and tinned tatties

 

[Boogs]

Poor White Knight Squig needs to realise that Jack isn't their friend and come and join us.

Come on Harold *join us*

 

[Penelope_Ghent]

Soooooo…someone told the Police Jack Con-roe receives threatening messages and rather than just saying “I don’t want to make a complaint”, she’s accusing the person of being a troll and now the Police will be after them?

And this banger needs to be brought forward from the last thread (TW: suicide/harm):

Core of steel? She develops bad mentals when someone questions the existence of the VBI.

Not feeling fine?
Thin blue line

(For what it’s worth, I think it’s this week’s episode of things that didn’t happen)

Oh @LennyBriscoe i am DeAd at that first para!! Sorry I didn’t see the other text. I meant the ‘core of steel para’

 

[Tittykitty]

I reckon stovies will make it south of the border with corned beef and tinned tatties

But she will rename it Ovenies

Send your suggestions, frauen, I'll make more cards.

If she goes far enough north we might get a 'peedie' out of her.

I'd go for get off your knees Scotland and surely we need a nod to Nicola S

With a reference to salt and vinegar or salt and sauce?

That would really sent Jack into a tailspin

I really hope Sean Clerkin gets wind of that.

He used to be a member of the Scottish resistance with a guy called James Scott then I believe they fell out

(I can't emphasise enough how wacky some of the fringe elements of Scottish indy folks are, there are several folk on indy Scots twitter who make Clerkin look sane).
