She’s fighting for her financial life. She’d be far better taking professional advice . Although I imagine they’d start by telling her to give everything back since the beg blog and she is never going to do that. They’d also tell her to make everything transparent (tee mill, pay pal donations for the court case, patreon). She’s never going to do that either.
She is fuvked

Kids the forum that shall not be named have found the thread calling out Jack’s blog about childhood obesity. I’ve tried to find it archived but can’t - if anyone is cleverer than me they might want to take a look

I have achieved nothing today. Nothing. I feel like Jack.

Tell him he is a bit honky & send him off for a shower.
Great idea! I’ll tell him we are now so poor he cannot leave the bathroom until he’s mastered the ancient alchemy of turning run of the mill value soap into purest shower gel

That thing she did with twitter would have been 2-4k per tweet with her engagement and follower count. I’m surprised she doesn’t do more like that tbf I guess she’s too lazy to seek out collaborators/the food industry hates her.

She will never tell about her income. She’s denying, denying any kind of responsibility for it. As far as she is concerned it’s hers, because people choose to give and that’s it. This could go on forever because squigs in the cult will never be able to believe what’s in front of their faces and even if she told they would still give. Some might drop away but it’s in her interest to protect the income she has.
It’s all been a scam, she knows it. We know it. She’s guarding her dollar.

Remember the Tinder profile and Jack Monroe stated she liked country music. She'd be wise to take note of Keith Whitley right now.

From MN:


"She's edited this particular post by removing the

"Your kids aren't fat because you're poor. I could make your kids thinner and you financially better off, but you have to be willing to make the effort to learn?'

and thrown in a fairly defensive comment to boot. Not sure what's caused this, but clearly she is rethinking her position on this."

from a time when Jack was still able to learn.

Jack has just tweeted this. - ETA already deleted






In response to this


We've all been a big suss about the above squig so interesting that she's picked this one to respond to

Has she ever called out people for not paying their tax, corporations, celebs or just the well off? That contradiction, if it exists, would upset a great many people.


There is this, where she informs us that every single one of us pays taxes in some form and this subsides MPs. Presumably the taxes MPs pay don't count.*

*I will add I do think MP's perks are excessive but Jack can't have it both ways. Either we all pay taxes in some form or we don't.

Being served something Jack made on the regular would make you thinner but probably not in a very healthy way.

Jack gets up before dawn for a free HoP lunch. They must be proper tasty.

This is Dawn Foster's piece on the impact Grenfell had on her - I read it for the first time yesterday and can't stop thinking about it. Her original piece on the fire for Jacobin is also utterly brilliant, Jack Monroe has had many despicable lows but that piece on Grenfell has to be one of the lowest.
Dawn Foster forever (& whenever I see Rhianna Pratchett vapidlybeing kind to Jack Monroe on Twitter, I find saying "if I've heard of yer da, I don't need to hear from you” makes me feel better)

But it isn't the original.
" Reblogged – as what was supposed to be a frustration at the ready meal industry didn’t seem to come across that way to all of my readers – and I apologise if anyone was offended. "

Oh what a day this has been! Lost the whole afternoon to actual work but this catch up has been amazing. I cannot believe that Jack is so obviously using this sock.
My 3pm client phoned me from what sounded like a pub with some cock and bull story about babysitting. I could have danced a jig.

ETA: It occurs to me - what if he's a frau too?
