Going by the Jack method of time I have been furloughed quite literally FOREVERI mean, by the Monroe method of counting time.

IT's just a glorified puff piece isn't it, i hate articles like this you can just tell that the journalist doesn't give a shit. Also I wouldn't describe any of those recipes as 'soothing'....What a crock of shit this article is: Jack Monroe on not shying away from online abuse

I’m in this position and consider myself a single mum, mumming doesn’t stop when they’re away, although I do completely agree I benefit from a lot of alone time and am in awe of those who don’t get any breakAre you a single mother if you share custody? That literally means you have no children to look after half the time.

Well, if that was her doing her absolute best, I can't imagine what phoning it in would look like.
OMFG. on 26 June she was the fittest she's ever been, Madam says, and circa 30 June she's triggering her fans about her poor health. Right, I'm off to read a book. May the odds be ever in your favour.What a crock of shit this article is: Jack Monroe on not shying away from online abuse

Her dad has, according to wiki.Pretty sure her grandad had one. A while back she loved to go on about it. She would NEVER turn one down.
Dragon, I would love to sit and enjoy a flagon with you and just listen to you talkIt's a very [sticks tin hat on] middle class, hard-done by, poor little rich girl thing.
And she reminds me of the children of quite a few professional foster parents who felt they were hard done by because they had to share their parents/home/toys with other children who had desperate need, even though a lot of the extra nice lifestyle was available as a direct result of the Fostering Allowances. I'm sure some of them were sick of getting attached to kids only to have them disappear, to have ones where severe problems had been brushed under the carpet by SS only for them to come out in the home environment or for genuine needs of their own to be dismissed as they had 'everything' and 'nothing to complain about' but out of all the kids I knew, only one was chilled out and happy.
As a kid with fuck all and abuse to deal with and then a shit early adulthood, I lean more to the 'I'm not a pov, I deserve better than this' mentality going on here. Because the raging suggests that she had no idea that this could happen to her and it was brutal and traumatising. Well yeah, no shit. But it's no different to how it's always been since politicians went back to the Victorian Poor Laws mentality - of poverty being a moral failing rather than Shit Happens and you try to help people where you can because you're not an arsehole.

I had to write a foreword to a school production of Oliver Twist once. I managed to get parallels drawn between the historical and sociological context of the book and the contemporaneous Tory rhetoric past the Head, the Deputy Heads, the Governors and the pompous little twat who was the local MP at the time. All in the guise of 'setting the scene' for the show. The only person who noticed was the Drama teacher, who came from a similar background to me. Of course, the entire premise of Oliver Twist is that the kid deserved better than he had, so that's problematic in itself even without the anti-Semitism, the need for all women who had unmarried sex to die and that the other children without similar lineage to never get out of their lane, but Dickens wouldn't have been able to get a non-MC kid's story past the audience. I was still pleased with myself, especially when I saw parents smirking when they read the foreword from my spot in the band. It's amazing what you can do with nicely written, carefully formatted words.
Adding Naf Naf jumpers to the list and Benetton drawstring bags, oh and if you were a girl of between the age of 11 and 14 at my high school and didn't own a pair of Kickers boat shoes you were basically a social pariah.OMG THE NOSTALGIA IN THIS THREAD. I'm gonna do a nineties girl checklist...
