Jack Monroe #376 Schrödinger's Poor Person

[threetintender]

So blimmin cross about the performative shop of crappy cheap food and she wants a round of applause / lucrative association with Asda. When I go shopping I have a whole week plan for what is needed, I’m not just determined to
style out two baskets of yellow packed rit. Also…going at the time of day she did was def not the time that you can find the ooops stickers and can bag some great stuff. I’ve not been shopping because I’m really trying to break even this month, so using whatever the hell I can find and my food isn’t slop and has actual nourishing calories. Urgh. To think I once thought she was someone like me. Raging.

Little Miss 20-pound-per-weekly-shop never mentions how much of her recipe development food is in that budget, or how she claims that as her business expense...(which tbf would be normal for a professional food blogger, to claim that as part of your work, if we ignore for a moment how tit her recipes are).

 

[elepal]

That dark mass is probably your conscience Jack…

Nah, she hasn't got one. It's probably her soul.

 

[Sparemethebollocks]

Disabled or fit enough to walk around town like a bleeping Paratrooper?

Which one is it?

 

[ishant]

Honestly how can you live off of a can of peaches and chickpeas for a week

Nah, she hasn't got one. It's probably her soul.

Her soul, leaving

 

[instacharlie]

Nope. You cannot throw alleged illness into people's faces just because they are questioning your lies. If it were true she would've shared it long before now as well, considering it turned out to be not serious.

Still can't show screenshots of where the Teemill money went either.

Keep questioning squigs, she's getting rattled!

 

[Soap a Dope]

Her twitter feed just looks like she's warming up her followers for end of month payday. Call me cynical but

So that’s it? She’s just going to ignore anyone who questions where THEIR money has gone?

 

[SarcasticEllis]

What the actual duck did I just read about Jack and the allusions to cancer

the nastiness is beyond the pale. Love to everyone on here who has been affected by this latest show of callous manipulation.

 

[Doddery old dear]

Title suggested by @lucyq purloined from a thread ~elsewhere~.

Please add to this summary if you can, but Jack seems to be getting her comeuppance via an esteemed journo and documentary maker and is hoping if she ignores it and yomps off to Asda, it'll all go away.

Read the wiki via the pink button above for the backstory, in-jokes and dictionary, no swears in thread nominations pls.

Welcome to new lurkers, canal members, frauen and herren. Settle in and tell us what brought you here, we always like to hear, or just buckle up and enjoy the Monrollercoaster.

Oh no. A few hours in a rare moment of sunshine in v. rural NE Scotland with a bottle of prosecco and there's another new thread

Can we have a wiki guide to grunking etc for us new fraus. Fanks x

 

[Toffee finger]

“No one’s business but mine” maybe don’t put tweets and photos out that suggest you have cancer then? bleeping idiot

 

[Enwre]

She said that the charities apart from TT wanted to remain anonymous. So there were NO screenshots of the rest of the money after TT. bleeping liar.

Wow, caught up and I think that was with some skipping and jumping. My many thoughts...

Anyways I am a #real1978truther and today rolled up my t-shirt. In my defence I was working in the garden (like actual gardening work) and it was very warm. For the trip to Tesco for #nightmeat I pulled it back down.

My local Asda have wheels that lock on the trollies if you go past the red line. Local Tesco does not, local estate was full of empty trollies having been used to bring the shopping home. Then FB ninnies would moan about the yoofs doing races in them.

Food banks I think they are a great big sticking plaster but if you take it away the fall out will be epic. I usually donate money along with my online shop.

The bread in the Asda basket is a lot less squished than my loaf that came from Ocado. I wasn't going to use them after the COVID debacle but they keep sending tempting offers like a free toy Ocado van.

Last thing I think councils giving SO Vs DD advice. I work in the housing sector what we actually are seeing is people asking for their gas to be capped as they can't afford to pay the standing charge which will rack up even if there is no money on the meter.

I think that is all.

I don't think I've ever had a manager discuss my future career prospects in this way. What an odd world Jack lives in, if she's not being told to shut her legs, someone is telling she'll never amount to anything. It must be hard to have so many experiences that sound like made up set ups for having the last laugh.

 

[That Forensic Man]

Whats the white stuff running down her face from her hair? Is that...? Hairgel?

Grey hair is model's own.

 

[Vanelope]

I didn't notice it earlier when it was posted on here but catching up on her twitter feed...
Has anyone notice a near perfect circle of cleaner lighter skin on her stomach area?

Really makes you think tender ones

Last time I fake tanned I missed a bit like that… after two kids I don’t go to Asda with my midriff out so not a massive issue…

those trousers are really unflattering, it’s worth spending more than a tenner sometimes. Especially when you already have (pleather or denim cuffed) trousers.

 

[Hunsgraveyard]

Spoiler: Cancer

my 30 year old cousin was never worried about herself, just the people she had to leave behind, including two of her under 5 children, when she was dying. Jack’s an absolute disgrace.

Big Love to everyone

I think we can all agree, regardless of religious or non religious persuasion, of any variety, that there's a bleeping hot and painful place in hell specially reserved for people like Jack Monroe who deflect from a decade long scam on the poor by hinting at cancer.

I hate the way she talks about service users: “hungry people”. Why not just say people? They’re not baby bleeping birds, Jack. Just because they don’t have as much money as you doesn’t mean they’re useless wards of the state who would perish without you. They’re not ragamuffins crowding around the carriage of the people who’ve come from the big house. I know I’ve ranted before about the “getting people fed” thing, and this is similar. There’s something so superior about her attitude towards people.

Genuine question for fraus who work in social care or adjacent fields: do actual professionals talk about “hungry people”?

I gave a friend £50 today and then I came home and ordered them shopping from Tescos.
I nipped in for coffee and they had duck all In their cupboards. No milk, no tea, nothing. They were mortified at me landing in unannounced and then they started to cry.
This can’t go on. It just can’t go on and the mood I’m in at the moment, I just want to burn everything down. I am all out of patience with this government and Jack bleeping Monroe and her middle class supporters, the supposed left who actually think telling us to rinse spaghetti hoops will help

I think she's been making that awful lasagne again
