If you’re affording a bottle of gin a day, wouldn’t you spend the same on something you actually like? You can get most mainstream spirits for similar prices, and gin isn’t even the cheapest.

Yep because that's not going to be seen by the other attendees, surely this would get her thrown out?
Can everyone Google Jack Monroe Tattle on every device they own and leave that tab open like the good peaky minks we are? 
I think it's Richard iiiI'm loving all the wild theories about AM's identity.
Personally I think Charlie Bigham has been biding him time and gathering evidence ever since Jack started slagging off his ready meals to justify her "work" on the VBI
(Please don't sue me, t'is only a joke)
throwback Thursday ninnies!
LOL I glanced at that and assumed Jack had done something unspeakable to a pizza.
But, they're kookaburras!
3 weeks today til Wee Jock McMonroe does or does not make it to the Book Festival. She'll be raging that she's not in the main venue - (the beautiful Art College), and is instead at a church hall OT: Edinburgh is INSANE at the moment. The sound of wheeled suitcases everywhere. Send time travelos
Absolutely agree. Some people just have no idea about what it's like to be poor. I grew up impoverished, parents divorced, mother on benefits living in a tiny actual bungalow on a council estate, but did well at school, went to Uni with the help of student Grants as it then was and part time jobs and now have a very middle class job and life. I see the privilege I had and have from that. However I work in quite a pompous, arse laden, profession with a lot of people who have zero understanding of anything but being middle class. In lockdown I had colleagues wanging on about what all the fuss was about when people can just do online shopping, with no understanding that some people do not have debit cards for example. I have a bullshit detector a mile wide for this kind of nonsense.On this topics and also the topic of favourite lies: The 'severe' shellfish allergy where she ended up in hospital is one of my favourite Jack lies. I think that was when I started to realise, as a reformed OG squig, that something was 'fishy' (sorry, had to)
It just seemed off and was one of many dramatic maladies she'd had in a relatively short space of time. And of course since then she has collected shellfish off the beach to eat
The other things that made me one day type "hate Jack Monroe" into Google and find Tattle, making me realise I was not alone or going mad, was the way she kept referencing her 'poverty trauma'. Because I was a squig that grew up in poverty, with working class parents, and then was pretty poor, but scraped by in my 20s (I'm Jack's age) though by most standards I personally am now middle class as I own my flat. It dawned on me that the way she spoke about her poverty experience and kept referencing it saying she had PTSD just seemed odd and performative. Even if her stories were true she still hadn't experienced half of what I or some of my peers on the estate I grew up in had and I would not describe myself as having poverty trauma to the extent she was. Also, my working class parents would have helped me out with what little they have, so that always seemed odd but that's by the by. She just really started to seem like a poverty tourist who was annoyed with her middle class mummy and daddy and wanted to teach them a lesson, but then has used this to profit in a way that the genuine working classes cannot.
This has always made me think that a lot of her defensive squigs are as many others have said, lifelong members of at least the middle class to not smell the rat at all when she writes about her poverty experience. I feel like most have never met a real poor person, and would cross the street if they thought they saw one. It's really quite disgusting.

I love beetroot, one of the very few vegetables I do eat. But that
no way
Same. I got to a point where I ended up looking up her Twitter account just to try and catch up. She really is exhausting. No wonder she's always tired.

(I don’t know what we are doing, I don’t know why we are doing it, I do notice that search options are ~somewhat~ limited.)
It was clearly her fave drink at one point, I don’t get why she’s trying to make out like she couldn’t stand the stuff and was just knocking it back because she was an alcoholic.
I'm starting a protest campsite to stop her getting in. You need to wash your hands to get through, so she's def not getting in
I was just about to say this. Vodka and rum are both probably cheaper
Without Mrs Jack and her fancy salad, we may never have had salad bag pesto. Makes you think.The dig at Mrs Jack's 'fancy' salad though
Grunking in between interesting commonwealth games events.
All these Tweets supporting Jack and her important work but not a single one identifying what that work is?

I also agree that £2.4k per month before tax is NOT poverty, it'd be tight if you were say, renting a studio in London but in Southend? NO. (I'm assuming that you wouldn't be an idiot and spunk £1500 of that on a huge home you don't need as a single person, of course. But then, I am neither special nor maverick.)
