It’s not letting me quote @GrannyOgg , but re: food banks, the post I replied to specified “governments with starving voters don’t get re-elected”, so in looking at the voting power of food bank users to effect real change, I was picking up on that language. I would also note that many working-class people run or volunteer with mutual aid groups including food banks. So respectfully, we do disagree — but not, I think, on the desirability of people who are struggling having a better time of it (to put it mildly) the iniquity of the government, or, above all, the absolute shittiness of grifter Jack Monroe!

This tweeter intrigues me. DoO they know her personally, from times past, or is that a stretch?
They give off quite worrying vibes, I think…

I am a cynical wotsit, but is it at all possible she gets backhanders from ASDA? The free advertising to over 500,000 people, would be worth a lot of money. Do ppl have to declare revenue from advertising? Or possibly she gets freebies. I’m sure Aldi or lidl will be cheaper ( can’t remember which one is close to her). Also from the ingredients there arent really any solid meals to be had from the produce she’s purchased.
Mid grunk so sorry if this has been answered. Guidelines (and possibly law) state that any money or product being given means there is a commercial relationship and any promotion should be clearly marked as an advert.

ASA have a good infographic on their site for influencers.

In my newly rekindled frustration and disgust with how Nigella enabled the liar Jack to profit on several occasions I came across this which made me chuckle. This was after her Patreon push.

Always interesting to debate with someone who shares your values but sees different solutions to the problems we face. I do respect both your point of view and your opinion

I’m very concerned. If it’s a genuine account there’s something not right. If it’s a sock, well, there’s something not right :(

The government have let people starve. Foodbanks wouldn’t be needed if people weren’t starving. 🧐 Someone is voting for them and ain’t me!
Jack’s reminiscing about being employed is ironic!
Looking forward to the Patreon update!

She's pretty much bought one of everything from the yellow range before getting bored and taking photos.

Have we seen a receipt? Have we seen the shopping in the crappy bungalow? Did she just dump the baskets in the aisle and LEFT to get a Maccie-D's on way home? Who. bleeping. Knows.
Do the Asda’s in southend have Maccy-Ds inside? Quite a few up here do. I always wondered what Jack would make of it if her beloved doesn’t…

If she has chickpeas and tinned peaches in her two baskets, well, we all know what's coming.......

(Learn another recipe, Jack!)
Yeah I went from a 36E measured by M&S who remain absolutely steadfast with old measuring methods to 30H (really not as HUGE as it sounds but no supermarket or high street bras for me so I only have one because I'm genuinely struggling financially) when using Boob or Bust method which was way more comfortable too.
Brastop is worth a look. Perma sales and starts at a DD

Is there a job Jack hasn't had? So really shouldn't have any trouble getting employed with such a varied CV. Makes you think.
