ruined for me by a) Sarah Vine mis-naming it The Ubiquitous Fish one time and forever making me laugh and b) not being that good really.Glaswegian fraus, can we blame Jack's visit and influence for the Chip going full metal chain, in restaurant parlance?
For the non-locals, a well-established fancy West End restaurant in Glasgow which is one of three differently-named/themed hostelries owned by a local family (microchain?) has been bought by a national pub macrochain.
I really don't think anyone, including Jack, does.oh no sorry, I understand that bit. It’s what Jack’s trying to do I don’t understand.
Oh my god; it took the wind from my sails when I found out the Chip also owned the Bike Shop. To find out they were being taken over by Greene King of all boring AF chains?Glaswegian fraus, can we blame Jack's visit and influence for the Chip going full metal chain, in restaurant parlance?

Because HMRC are clamping down, and have threatened the employers with liability for tax, if the freelancers/contractors don’t pay. This is part of what caused the furore at the bbc.Why would it matter to an employer that someone is a sole trader or a limited company? It’s just a different way of reporting (and taxing) income earned. Both are sole traders really!
Christ alive!I've been browsing her blog. In her sponsored sleep outside post she whines on and on about how awful if was for her because she used to be so afraid of losing her flat. She's never slept rough (obvs). There's also a great poem that some ninnies might not have seen yet, so tuck in! Note her "middle class" voice, clearly before she got too working class for the beeb. Why was even she on the radio?!

Is she actually a master troll working to prod Jack into ever more deranged vengeance, ultimately ousting her from the publishers’ roster and public life?? Or is she just a really out of touch middle class middle aged lady with absolutely no place being a therapist? Either way, I love it.
I love the thought that they'll have a big falling out and build escalating spite houses into the clouds.*Immediately writes a four act play about a dodgy therapist who actively tries to destroy her clients lives to keep herself in work*

True. She’s absolutely addicted to attention, good or bad. The journalist who interviewed her seems to be a seasoned pro who has done a lot of international reporting, so probably didn’t give the big emotional response Jack is used to (because journalists are supposed to be neutral). Jack then took this as - she’s not impressed by my story, must escalate.I think she is eager to impress and gets carried away, so if the journalist didn't appear that moved by The Poverty she'd think nothing of chucking in a new detail like sleeping rough to spice the story up.
Lucy-A gave a good insight that Jack hasn't got any IRL friends. You'd feel bad for her, but it's her own fault, she's a hideous kinda person. If someone becomes her friend she soon makes them regret it. Look at Spaniel Friend and her concern on Content.People have explained why Jack's parents might not correct her BS, but it makes zero sense to me that no one else in her life says anything. I don't understand how she regularly comes out with such audacious (in the negative sense) stories but nobody thinks to correct her. I suppose her current friends want to avoid arguments, and perhaps the other people in JM's life just don't care enough (which is quite telling in itself!). I can't believe the way she constantly makes ridiculous claims that are printed in reputable newspapers, yet gets away without any repercussions.
Oh yeah I get the whole BBC arrangement, but I’m not sure that they can make employers employ staff on a PAYE basis. Although that may be where the whole IR35 comes in.Because HMRC are clamping down, and have threatened the employers with liability for tax, if the freelancers/contractors don’t pay. This is part of what caused the furore at the bbc.
Also, what some ‘freelancers' fail to appreciate, HMRC know what they have been paid, even if they don’t declare it. Because the employer has already told them. As I said up thread, IT is a perfect example you cannot work for Bank of England, cabinet office, police, mod, doh, bt, freemantle media, etc etc as a sole trader, but then we are not just popping in for 10 mins like mackie.
I have no idea about patreon, but I would be Surprised if they do not have to submit.
I’ll grant you - the bike shop is fricking amazing.Oh my god; it took the wind from my sails when I found out the Chip also owned the Bike Shop. To find out they were being taken over by Greene King of all boring AF chains?
Utterly unbelievable.

She's odious. People probably have called her out in reality, she dumps and ghosts them, just like Twitter. (imo.)
I was about to say the same thing.I reckon she set up the LTD company as heard it was more tax efficient.. but perhaps didn’t realise that would mean her income would be a public record.

I think of the legendary romantic lovers - Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Dido and Aeneas - and reflect that none of them adored each other as much as Jack Monroe loves Jack Monroe.I've been browsing her blog.

It did file one set of accounts showing just under £16k of assets and £28k of creditors, plus had a CCJ registered against it, so it was actively trading at some point.I mentioned in the previous thread that it's possible she was both the director of the company that was struck off and a sole trader. The company may have been set up but never actually used to report income. That might explain why she never bothered to keep the information up to date.
Fuck me, I pity poor Matt for being on the receiving end of THIS look.

I think I’d have called the Police and set off the fire alarms simultaneously in the hope that at least one of the emergency services would get there very quickly to protect me.

It’s hard to tell if she wants to shag him, eviscerate him, or a little from column A a little from column B.
