Jack Monroe #353 Jack Monroe campaigns for Jack Monroe not to be in poverty

[Lazarus]

An observation, which I hope the canal take in the good faith it is meant. There is no judgment or body shaming here on my part hence i've chosen not to spoiler.
Yesterday unearthed an old blog of Jack's where she was sneering and snide at people, including children who are overweight. i was not surprised by this, and i think she'd be the type to use someone's weight as an insult if she thought she could get away with it.
Unless... that person was rich and influential, for example Allegra. I'm not suggesting Allegra is fat, of course, but she's a well made woman with meat on her bones, again no judgment.

I think this shows some level of double standards from Jack: it's not ok to be overweight if you're eating chicken nuggets and processed/ready meals. it is ok to be overweight if you're eating buttery rich expensive, indulgent food.

I may be wrong, it's just an observation.

If only you could adjust the Patreon settings to show your earnings. That would clear up all this unpleasantness.

During lockdown 1. It wasn't for Patreon.

Sold your camera in 2011? That's weird, your mum was telling you not to sell it in 2012, you lying sack of shite.

FB conversation about Jack's house sale in August 2012 - the comment about the camera is from her mother, proving that they were still in touch during the poverty and parents were well aware of what was happening.

Perhaps Jack can tackle Japanese cuisine next as her comeback?

Hi all, newbie here! You have had me hooting and fizzing as I've watched this blow up over the last few days. (Got kicked out of the bedroom "until I calmed down" for chuckling to myself too much last night! )

TD's glorious subtweeting had put me onto the grift a while back, but it's AM's thread that brought me to Tattle – and the wiki was quite the eye opener! I was fairly active on food twitter around the time JM rose to prominence, but now I get the impression a lot of food writers don't see her pushing for cheap food as much of a solution: someone down the chain will be getting poverty wages to milk the cows or funnel the sloppo into the tin, so her *activism*, much like her income, doesn't really add up. The VBI is surely just a list of "cheap food is still cheaper than expensive food, but not as cheap as it used to be, when I was a poor."

I can believe she's pretty skint now though if she's potentially just had to settle three years of unpaid taxes to wind up her Ltd, plus no doubt NI for Caroline with at least one hand (which could have buggered up her tax code in her next job), plus interest. Can't imagine her personal taxes were up to date either by that logic (and that 550k mortgage figure implies she earning six figures given 4.5x income in the absolute max banks will lend). I do hope Molly's next thread covers this side of things.

I think that's in relation to Jack falling over and faceplanting into the tap/toilet because that's the day she went to hospital with a sparkly black eye

Get fucked.

Behind so may have already been said but HILARIOUS! WTF does this writing on a piece of paper prove as “evidence”? I’m surprised she didn’t sign it “Mr A. Doctor”

This one made me laugh

Words from MN, suggested by our ever brilliant @Brian Butterfield .

Wowser. That was a ride- out chaosing the chaos.

More screenshots from AM. More deflection from Jack.

The other site has a thread, it still rumbles, or rather pumbles on, leading to speculation and well, gossip.

Finally, and rather spectacularly Jack appears (we think) to defend herself using the power of grayskull * instead of ~.

Wiki for newbies. It tells you everything you need to know, other than how to make soup out of soup.

Please use “thread title” when nominating. No rude words.

Let the chaos continue…

I’ve squiggled out who posted this as not a blue tick and I’m not totally sure this is about Jack but it’s an interesting sub tweet. I only saw it because our hero Dresserman retweeted it!

I wish GrunkaLunka could see how it all worked out in the end

There's only one way you spaff away this amount of money and it involves drugs, alcohol, compulsive spending and possibly gambling too (I have my suspicions). Spend it on what you like PAL but don't fucking pretend you're downsizing because you can't earn enough to afford your life. You have been given an amazing platform upon which to consolidate your career and it's gone tits up because of YOUR actions

I remember when there was only about one chaos a week and it was about a terrible Christmas dinner or some embroidery in an apartment hotel. It was all fields round here.

Can't wait xx

NOOOOO! Mr V has come home from work early, expects me to interact with him and I am already five pages behind.

Is it wrong to manufacture a giant argument out of nothing so a person can flounce into a different room and continue with what they were doing before they were so rudely interrupted? This sort of thing, I was thinking,

Asking for a friend.

Jack's socks are like EastEnders characters that are meant to be different sorts people but all speak in the same way cos they're scripted by the same team

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

 

[jenny2603]

Imagine abandoning Cookie Thursday for this.

 

[LennyBriscoe]

Hello! I’m just popping in to say hi as it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever catch up . What a time to be alive, you bunch of mendacious trollz! Jack has just deployed the “too autistic not to deal with untruths” klaxon. Poor Jack .

As chaoses go, this is top tier Patreon stuff. Right, back to it…wish me luck

 

[kachoochoo]

yeah, ain't gonna happen
