I found the event description,
"She proposed the Vimes Boots Index, named after the Terry Pratchett character who explained poor people spend more on cheap boots that don’t last than rich people do on expensive ones that do. In response the Office of National Statistics has said it will look at how it measures inflation to reflect its impact on people on different incomes.
Non-binary Jack Monroe is on the autistic spectrum and also regular speaks out on gay rights and disability issues."
Are they trying to channel Southern Jack?

Indeed. Interesting that she hasn't got a GP anecdote to share...is that because Southend is blessed with an unusually good primary care service, or because she goes private?
I know this is petty, but it singes my pumble when people say 'empathetic' rather than 'empathic'.
Aww your poor mumMy late mum once stood up at the end of a family funeral to invite the mourners back to the Navy Club for a nosh. I can’t read the word without seeing her bewildered little face at the peels of laughter around the crem.
It is indeed ugly and uncountable
It’s one of my favourite memories now!Aww your poor mum
Also known as guiche in body piercing circles (not quiche, that's an entirely different tin of sardines)
But she’s going to a charity thing? So there’s a chance she might meet Limmy?
(No Jack, we don’t really want you dead, just to stop being a lying weapon)
Is she on a train yet, is there chaos?
It used to take me about that to get to uni by bus and that was about 13 miles too, so quite possibly.
People are out there just subtweeting the heck out of our hero
Has anyone hacked her tile?
The comments are hilarious!
10 years waiting for a council house?!
When?
Someone's telling lies again, or trying to scam the system. Which is it, Jack?

I caught up! Surely if her wee boy liked the second hand camera that she was planning on just sticking on a shelf she could let him have it. Especially as he never got a holiday. Poor boy. Also I'm gutted that I have to work with my boss in person tomorrow afternoon, can't follow the drama of her being in Glasgow. As a weegie frau who moved away I will be thinking of you who stayed behind.
Also raging i will be out in a work meeting all day tomorrow too so no chance of me being on here as my boss is whisking me off to England (fancy!)
Looking forward to a chaos grunk!
I reckon the questions at her event will be carefully vetted, probably due to pulling out the autism/adhd so anything remotely challenging doesn’t get a look in.

What in the name of His Holiness Chris Packham is she doing thinking of buying a murdered mustelid?
It didn't live on a farm until it slipped away in its sleep, serenaded gently by blackbirds, it was trapped and at best, shot. Or poisoned. Or electrocuted. Or suffocated. Not for 'pest control', not for 'anti tuberculosis measures'. For decoration (and the pleasure of the killer, the taxidermist and the literal bleep that likes the idea of having a dead animal in the house).
Maybe she should just join the local hunt and have done with it.
bleeping Tory.
Whoever Twink Girl Pearl is, they can definitely sit with us. I snort-laughed reading those posts...
When I was 12, I dreamed of being allowed to play with an old broken camera for a couple of hours before it joined the rest of Mamapapa's collection of total shite. Christmas has come early to the crappy Bungalow!
