Jack Monroe #323 Two mini breaks in two months, what in the Budget Jones's Diary is going on?

[Emmapism]

It's always because people take a disliking to her, not because she's tit, isn't it?

She can't STAND it that people know she's an absolute ballbag on telly and the *most* she will get is a brief chat or a 2 minute edited to tit insert.

Funnily enough Jack's concern about cancelling last minute doesn't extend to the many radio shows she has failed to turn up to because she has been up all night twatting about on Twitter. Inconveniencing the entire production team, costing them money and time.

I'd be very worried if I was her. She won't want Piers sniffing around her back story

I do hope this episode doesn't lead to spicy chat about Jack in the industry whatsapp.

 

[MsGilmore]

Imagine being so wealthy that you have time to have a witch fight online in the middle of the day!

 

[BlendedSlop]

duck's sake Jack, I didn't factor in the time for a Piers Morgan chaos today.

I love how she says part of her is tempted to go on his show but she doesn't think he'd enjoy it. I can't stand the man but given the opportunity he'd reduce her to a weeping wreck on live TV. Yet somehow she thinks he'd be the shitting dog in this situation.

Finally, an explanation for the career of Piers Morgan. He made it by trampling on Jack Monroe. Is it drugs?

But her veins aren't heavily tattooed.

Her arms have a few disparate tattoos, but I wouldn't call her arms heavily tattooed either.

ETA. Her veins are not uncouth, foul mouthed, non binary or utterly unladylike either. I would like to understand how veins could be any of these things.

Jack’s just so full of tit isn’t she? (Rhetorical question obs).

 

[Whaa?]

I am really interested to see if Jack delivers a talk on the topic advertised, which tells attendees they can expect 'advice and insight into ways to support your community through the cost of living crisis'.

 

[Captainmouse]

It’s lunchtime at the conference. Everyone I know is going to see Jack at 2pm and from what I can tell, everyone thinks she’s amazing

too much sun?

You can tell she's taking the talk really seriously by the way she's used her free time this morning to start tacky twitter drama and fiddle about with her emails.

 

[Whaa?]

If she huffs and puffs up the aisle, late and flustered, I will think 'how disrespectful is that'? I will also feel I am having deja vu and will await the inappropriate analogy (or something like it) that she aired last time.

 

[lurkerfrau]

Has anyone been able to explain why they think she’s amazing?

Seems to be that most folk aren’t fully engaged with her story - they have a passing awareness of her as an ‘activist’, but not enough to spot the things we do

40 mins to go

Just seen her entering the building. She’s half an hour early!s

 

[StillLucilleBluth]

I don’t know if I can bear to follow this in real-time. Anticipatory second-hand embarrassment and morbid fascination are playing a real tug-of-war in my head. I’ll have to refresh this thread through my fingers.

 

[BlendedSlop]

How can she have an email offering her work in 2013 that she didn't know about when she cleared her emails at Christmas?

I know we have all said this and it never happens, but make it make sense.

Because - and hopefully this doesn't come as too much of a shock to anyone - she's being a Billy bullshitter again.

Literally can't lie. (Inb4 "Well I OBVIOUSLY wasn't talking about THAT particular inbox" )

You are doing the LJC’s work, @lurkerfrau. Be brave in the face of shuffling and sniffing and watch out for marauding Pumbles. We are all with you in spirit.

Very, very much this. He's a dick but he's probably one of the best connected journos in the tabloid meeja game

 

[Ostapbender]

God, stop this now. Where's imposter syndrome when you need it?

Didn’t she supposedly print them all off and file them away a few weeks ago?!
The majority of those emails will be promotional like the rest our emails!
