Nothing like belly pork? Surely not?!Was listening to Kiri Pritchard McLena interviewed on the Off Menu podcast earlier and Jackie gets a mention! Fair enough, it's to say that, while tasty, her vegan belly pork is nothing like belly pork, but, hey, there's no such thing as bad publicity!
It doesn’t stop her from claiming to have a degree though, on her dating profile and on old blogs I think? something about bar work not being the best use of her degreeOnly achieving 4.5 would have been a blow to the ego, but now she uses the fact as a badge to wear, proof of what a 'struggle' her childhood was. Poor disadvantaged Jack Monroe...
Well well well. Say dissolved on 26/7/22.On a Bootstrap Limited has been dissolved via compulsory strike off. I just noticed on Companies House. Has this already been mentioned and I missed it?
I agree with this, I literally came from a poor family, yet despite it all I hold no ill will to my family or expect everything to be handed to me on a plate. I am also content ( for the most part) with the life I have. I wouldn't trade lives with her for all the money in the world. She has a bad attitude to life and in her relationships.I’ve always taken it to be that the reason Jack had a not very close relationship with her parents (which I also genuinely believe has been the case) is entirely because of her and her attitude. Her parents sound like they could have tried, and pushed for a relationship but Jack was the type to create a rift of her own making and push them away, all the while feeling sorry for herself. To me this explains the seeming inconsistencies around that relationship. All the people that ask why didn’t she ask her parents for help, to me it adds up. She would stubbornly not tell them a thing and rather be the main character in her poverty drama. But of course, as per the Pulp song, it was never really that bad for her as she could call her dad and get bailed out anytimeWith everything we know about Jack it makes a lot of sense to me.
I’m from a very working class not well off family but had a friend from a middle class family very similar to how I imagine Jack being for most of her teenage/young adult life. At least subconsciously wanting to create friction in her frictionless life. I think the GCSEs are a bit of this too. She had everything going for her, but a deep down desire to be a fuck up. She still does it now in fairness.
I think there’s some people born into comfortable lives that just can’t appreciate it.
This is wonderful way to end the week. Jack getting her arse handed to her by grown ups who know what they're talking about.
Yes, covered during the last thread (Or maybe the start of this one?)On a Bootstrap Limited has been dissolved via compulsory strike off. I just noticed on Companies House. Has this already been mentioned and I missed it?
Jack leaving home after failing her GCSEs is something that she has repeated said for her entire career, from that very first Xanthe Clay interview to her appearance on BBC radio this year, where apparently she lived in a multicultural flatshare: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/ar...rom-writer-and-poverty-campaigner-jack-monroe

Crikey, she's got a massive bee in her bonnet today, and it looks like we aren't the only ones who have noticed. Enter SDA to the rescue (if she actually responds to his texts)View attachment 1437359

You weren't raised Greek, Jack. My dad is Italian but I don't claim to be raised Italian. You're a middle class, white English girl. This is it, the hill I will die on. Fight me.Tomorrow is the second anniversary of when the Greek mezze was on special at the Co_op.

And it’s not like she’s really adding any different flavours, spices or depth to it?!Does anyone own Tin Can Cook? Because I can only see the ingredients list for this recipe online, not the method, and I am dying to read it all.
Remember the soup made from a tin of soup? We have something even better:

I'm intrigued to know the circumstances of Jack leaving home at 16. It does sound at odds with her upbringing and family unit. You can't hold a tenancy under the age of 18 either, someone has to hold it on your behalf, so who were these flatmates I wonder?Jack leaving home after failing her GCSEs is something that she has repeated said for her entire career, from that very first Xanthe Clay interview to her appearance on BBC radio this year, where apparently she lived in a multicultural flatshare: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/ar...rom-writer-and-poverty-campaigner-jack-monroe

There’s so much wrong with this… whoever commissioned, edited, gave the go ahead to this bilge needs to have a long hard look at themselves. It’s baffling
