Jack Monroe #376 Schrödinger's Poor Person

[NellieBoo]

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”?

Sigh. No. Our service is quite unusual in that it's ongoing long term support. So we get to know our service users very well. We try and support them so don't reach a crisis point by ensuring they are getting all the support they need, want and are entitled to. And assess that regularly. Obviously situations change, we can see a problem brewing or some people don't want to engage until it's at crisis point. Often we are limited by what other services can provide in a timely fashion.

I'm confident that none of our service users are living in abject poverty. Any that do have financial issues will always have some other issues as well - MH/Drugs/Alcohol/chaotic family dynamics. Which we will offer support with but are limited by how much they want to engage. For some it's a lifestyle choice, and it is their choice. We just plod on offering support without any dramarama.

This is such a narc move. She knows she's lying so needs to show proof before someone questions it.
Example, if someone is having an affair and goes away with lying to their partner where they were going they would come back with PROOF they were on a fishing trip before their partner would even start to ask about said fake fishing trip.

Mmm, I thought that about the way she told that journo she offered her bank statements/benefit letters etc to the media without being asked...

But obviously it's just the forensic ADHD smol pixie

 

[BlendedSlop]

Who the duck has she got trapped in the crappy bungalow now? I really, really hope she hasn't introduced yet another new partner to SB already. And I thought she wasn't allowed to have lodgers or overnight guests, per Rialto Evil Landlady's draconian tenancy agreement?

The headscarf pic and the oncologist tweet were months apart but have been lifted from here and are wrong. Jack must have yelped or squealed or gone hnnngghh when she saw they’d been tweeted at her and she could seize on a lie to springboard off of.

I know I said I was done for tonight but I feel like I have completely lost the plot.

Squig put the tweets together incorrectly. Jack hasn’t corrected squig which she normally does. Jack makes cosplaying situation worse.

Has she lost the plot too? Has she not realised the tweets have been incorrectly put together?

(please stay )

 

[Sparemethebollocks]

Why does SB need to Google her Twitter? Surely he just knows the handle? I'd rather focus on being irritated by this than all of the infuriating BS she's spewing today so

She’s covering bases. Ppl have suggested she shouldn’t let SB look at her twitter. Devious way to address it but sooo bleeping transparent.

In the words of mumsnet, duck off to the far side of duck off and when get there, duck off some more.

So if they AVERAGE 42 meals between them, this second adult is a regular mouth to feed. Yet they are not contributing to costs at all? Or they are and Jack ISN'T stuck paying all the rent and bills herself? Which is it? Doesn't quite add up either way, does it?

What kind of bleeping nonsense is this? Decanting UHT milk into a carton? Any dumdum can taste the difference. And who would want to mislead their kid about this anyway? She is such an mole

 

[Falkor]

Oh bless you, it's almost a relief to find a good old mistako. She's been a lot recently. If I find out the active adult is a recaptured Harold, I shall cry.

Paging @Jay-cloth Cow - we need your colleague to run a welfare check on Harold first thing on Monday morning!!

 

[Beansbeans]

Sorry, I know this is utterly minor compared to some of the crap she lies about, but .. £17.74... or £18.01? I thought she was forensic

And after all that, it was actually 18.41...

Petty and minor. But also wtf.

 

[Brian Butterfield]

Proof that manifesting works @Silver Linings, I have been thinking about and wishing for you all day!

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

I don’t believe there is a second adult. But they must be a lazy twit just letting her walk and carry shopping all the time.
apart from the fact they don’t exist.

[Mrs Peel]

How long until she scampers off to the pawn shop to retrieve one of the three engagement rings? The active adult should make a run for it sharpish.

 

[Just Lou]

Look at the bleeping state of this

42 GENEROUS meals?! Liar.

You know, another thought. Not only is she playing into the Tory narrative, she's also making the genuinely poor feel like tit for not being able to do this, at least that's how she made me feel. I always thought I must be doing something really wrong until I found this space.

Thank duck someone said it.

 

[Orphan_Black]

Cheers for catching up grunking, Jack, and showing the receipt and shopping in the crappy bungalow.

On my other thread, someone is manifesting Boston marathon by colouring in the word “Boston” in blue and yellow (the marathon colours - they all have to wear blue and yellow trainers btw) all over her gratitude journal instead of actually training properly.

Have you been writing SL and then colouring it in all day because in my head that’s what manifesting is.

[People-huv-tae-know]

Definitely a Buffalo Bill vibe. I bet she was blasting out Goodbye Horses while getting dressed and getting this pic <just right>

Ah yes, we know Jack would duck Jack. She even said she would eat herself!

Glad to see Kirsty S calling her out on Twitter
