Jack Monroe #376 Schrödinger's Poor Person

[metroglide]

Hard to look at the binfire that is her Twitter and see it as anything other than a self-absorbed bleep flailing about, desperately trying to appear to be all the things her braindead squigs say she is. It's absolutely staggering, the level of self-regard and the sheer volume of lies. Part of me thinks the best punishment is the fact that she has to live in that head, lying all the time and creating narratives like the teary-eyed, headscarf wearing cancer cosplay. I don't think I've ever loathed anyone more or been more disgusted by a fellow human.

@GrannyOgg - wanted to say that I've been on the receiving end of a situation like you helping out your friend. My oldest and dearest pal did this for me when I was really struggling, and the relief and just feeling less alone with it all was truly priceless. I know it's not any kind of long-term fix, but it's such a decent and caring thing to do.

Why on earth did she do a forensic stocktake and then buy MORE CUSTARD?

Sardine stock

 

[GrannyOgg]

Leaving aside all the other stuff which needs dealt with- someone really needs to do a proper call out on that £20 shop because that will make people ill if they try and live on that.

I swear to god she is Margaret Thatchers long lost bleeping daughter. I never ever want to hear another solitary soul say Jack Monroe is left wing. She’s a nasty right wing shill who has grabbed onto left wing politics because it’s made her money.
42 generous meals for 2 active adults and a teenager for under £19. She should be cancelled tonight. No more excuses.

Not to but I’ve worked in male prisons, and actually one of them has its own “restaurant” that is staffed by inmates. If I remember correctly, Fred Siriex has something to do with supporting the training of the front of house staff.

Yes. I think Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall did some work around this area? Working kitchens in prisons and a working restaurant? I know he is problematic but he's never claims to be something he's not. That's why I'm baffled as to why she wouldn't speak out about her work on this area. Particularly for women prisoners.

Also, why is she choosing to go to Asda at the busiest time, on the busiest day of the week? She doesn't work?! She could pop in during a quiet weekday afternoon, but no, Jack goes in her All Saints reject outfit (cheers @Valiofthedolls you're so right about Appleton look!) to take photos and act like one of the poors with her basket full of cheap and cheerful Asda value range.

Ergh, I take back my offer of personal dresser, Jack, you want to act like a twit? Well, look like one too.

I think being Snoop Dogg's personal joint roller would be more fun. Imagine putting up with Madame Jack's moods?

Wonder if someone there has beef with Big Dave and his Masonic rituals?

Wasn't she going to add a recipe each day? I voted '30 days' in the poll how long she'd keep it up as a joke

Oh god, it seems so long ago. Did she manage two or three? I don't know how she copes, it's one chaos after another. Maybe this is why she feels like she does 100 hour weeks.

I had a like on a Twitter post today from 22 March, which made me remember how my eyes were opened to the full Monrovian situation - it was the day after the Gingerbread meeting when she decided, unprovoked, to insult JK Rowling...then deleted it, then pretended Twitter had deleted it. I realised then that she is a wrong'un who would make up anything to make herself look good.

I did a £20 shop in Tesco today, where's my praise? I only bought a 30g pouch of tobacco but I've got food in the cupboards although I won't mention what it is so subscribe for more #TStoptips and don't forget to hit that like button pals

Where's your PayPal link? AMATEUR

This is a genuine question on my part, I'm asking with an open mind, because this is an area that I have zero knowledge of. I know we have fraus from all walks of life, so I wonder if anyone can chip in on this one:

Do public figures collaborate with organisations or companies behind the scenes? Without either the public figure or the organisation mentioning it in any way?

It seems odd to me: why partner with a public figure if you have no interest in promoting whatever scheme it is, or using it for positive press?

I can understand that an organisation might work with an external consultant, e.g. a prison might work with an expert in catering education, to help prisoners develop skills that could lead to employment on their release. And I can see why that might not be mentioned anywhere, as it's the expert knowledge that is relevant, not the expert themselves.

I can also understand that a public figure might have an informal relationship with an organisation and that might not be made public by either party. For example, an author who regularly donates stock to an independent bookshop, or something.

I can also see why you would keep a collaboration under wraps until it is all confirmed and signed off.

But if you have partnered with a public figure primarily because they are a public figure and can generate publicity, why would you not release a press statement or mention it on your website? Why would ASDA not acknowledge that they are working with one of the most well-known anti-poverty campaigners, who has huge social media reach?

Jack should come with a trigger warning as default.

Love to all, tender ones x

Sorry I am just so bleeping angry at this. Please send me funnybones so it's not all serious face.

That will be $44 a month, please, payment monthly in perpetuity. I’ll commit to addressing not actually sending you one some time in late 2024. Thank(space) you for your interest in my smol project. Also, if anyone would like any singing, ballet, poetry or piano thumping done, ping me.

(PS, just in case anyone thinks “oooh she’s some terrible tin hoarder”, I have an excuse! It’s the peak of Hurricane season in these here parts so we have to keep a stock in for us and the Vali cats)

Thank you for this. The health talk really got to me for - well - reasons to the extent I had a bit of a cry but the image of you doing this, possibly watched by some bemused cats actually did make me do a very undignified snort laugh. Now back to lurking as this is one of the very few times I'm actually with you in almost real time.

I know it's a few pages back but commissary. It's largely an American term. In the UK, the prison "shop" is known as the canteen. The things you can order are on the canteen sheet, where you write in the quantity of each item. Your canteen is picked and packed on another site to where you are, then delivered on a wing walk.
Commissary was heavily used in the series Orange is the New Black, where Ruby Rose Jack featured.

The last few days I think are equally entertaining and disturbing. I'm back to wanting to refresh, but also not wanting to see what bat tit crazy tweet is next.

Is Big Dave a mason? A dyed in the wool marxist and a mason?

 

[HodgeSplodge]

Apologies if this has been posted already but I think this is the origin of Jack 'being asked to cost up appliance energy usage'. In the replies to the food shop tweet. That's right, just a random squig (albeit one with a food blog according to their bio). Not a brand or indeed any kind of expert organisation. Jack is just in it for the clout.

Not sure about funnybones, but I might have some ground-to-dust-by-alleged-arthritis-bones, if you're interested?

Jack clearly has forgotten about old Hazza, there's a new Mr/Miss Big in Southend Tooooown.

(Jack, hi, you look a state. Such a state that I want to bury the hatchet and come dress you. The cropped tee would have looked great with the tartan traaazers shorts and those black trainers you have. Not this though, this looks awful on you. Sorry not sorry)

She has a tendency to look like a 1990s Eastern Bloc tank girl.

 

[OwlRightsReserved]

Not a massive response to this, but the conversation between squig + followers is about the AM article, and just the fact that people find something 'off' about her.

Which is the understatement of the century, but we count our blessings in this house.

It's Big Dave. He's SNAPPED.
