Jack Monroe #377 What’s the point?

And his own hoses.

He had to buy his ladder rung by rung, it took him years to get enough to get cats out of trees.

It is sweet, sweet karma watching her being called out by genuine working-class people. This lady has nearly 9k followers.

She really can't lie? Someone stole £30k?? Her mum was a supervisor.

My editing timed out so I couldn't add the latest Tweet to my post. She's still going.

Sorry, is telling everyone your parents failed to notice you were living rough, involved in survival prostitution and struggling to feed your son for years loving and protecting them fiercely? I mean, I think you're lying and your parents did their best to rally round and support as all new excited grandparents do- particularly with one of their kids first children but it's you that makes them sound like grade A cunts. Genuinely interested in the explanationos.

So she’s not poor, not even pretending to be poor, but she IS pretending to spend 20 quid a week on her groceries for 2 people?

Oh no, it's a bit worse than that. It's £20 for three people with next to no protein or proper nutrients and one of the three is a near teenager who is apparently either being starved of nutrients on purpose since she isn't currently poor or she is now poor again and cannot afford to provide an adequate diet for. As if that's not enough, she's promoting this is something others can copy and all her stupid Guardian fan club are applauding like seals because healthy diets are for the middle classes. At least Marie Antoinette was willing to chuck in a bit of cake.

 

[Droosie123]

She’s been absolutely hammered on Twitter for this post. Lots pointing out it doesn’t give enough nutrients or calories. She’s becoming a joke.

I arrived at Tattle because a clever twitter shared the first AM tweet.

My marriage of 22 years ended around the time SB must have been born. I didn't pawn my jewelry, scant as it was, I took it to a jeweller who gave scrap value. That was the down payment for my divorce. Yes, I did end up homeless, albeit in emergency accommodation because the ex wouldn't help with the mortgage and the house had to be sold. Jack, do NOT fucking tell me that you haven't moved on in the space of ten years. I have brought up 2 kids, a large dog and the neighborhood cat.
I wouldn't allow any other partner to be in my household, not that I had much opportunity as the ex never had the kids at weekends.
And you have some nerve bad naming SB dad.
I haven't had the opportunities you have had yet I am still far removed from 10 years ago. You are exactly where you want to be, grifting your way through life. I hope and believe that is coming to an abrupt end. The advice you give is detrimental.
You are a twunt and I can't wait for Karma to catch up with you.

 

[That Forensic Man]

You really are forensic!

Can I ask if you used to be a Jack fan, or if you’ve always seen through her? How did you find us? You don’t have to answer any of this, I’m just really nosy.

Definitely not a Jack fan, I'd never heard of her until a few days ago. I did forget to introduce myself, let's just say I'm a veteran of uh 'gossip culture', had heard good things about tattle and finally checked it out. Immediately noticed Jack was a very popular topic, did a bit of grunking and was hooked. Have checked out the wiki and cliffnotes but it's a lot to take in, the makes it worth it though (you're a hilarious lot).
Hopefully I can bring something new to the sideboard, like isn't it curious that there are twitter accounts associated with at least 3 of Jack's e-mail addresses? Makes you think

Now fuck off x

 

[KingBabar]

You'd think she'd know what was inside a radiator, being as she ripped one off the wall while she was in labour

Congrats to @Valiofthedolls for the thread title, you win a new kitchen designed by Jack and her 42-year-old friend. Words spoken by Kirsty Strickland on Twitter, in response to Jack’s latest poverty playtime.

Yep, she’s back on the £20 pound food shops from her happy place (Asda) and she’s so proud of being able to feed two active (fnar) adults and a ‘teen’ on some bananas, porridge oats and tortilla chips. Such a budgeting marvel, if she can do it then why can’t everyone?

She also thinks there should be Express/local style shops that only stock the Essentials range in ‘deprived’ areas.

She chatted some other bollocks (can’t remember it all, please jog my memory below if you can be arsed) and was tweeting about designing a kitchen at 7am on Sunday () with her previously-mentioned 42-year-old friend.

please use the words ‘thread title’ when trying for one, wiki if you’re new.

 

[NomDeGuerre]

What is wrong with her teeth??

 

[Tin Can Crook]

And some more...

90% of the QRTs are critical of it. It has landed incredibly poorly.

Spoiler: Yikes

Hi Lenny Briscoe here, troubled nefarious asshat and accidentally four threads behind. I’ve just read her Enid Blyton guff about hovering around a red door for a fellowship meeting - honestly, she makes me want to punch myself in the face. You all know that I love AA and I’m eternally grateful for all it has given me and helped me be…but just say you went to a meeting and the good friends of Bill W (or any other fellowship meeting) treated you the way they all treat visitors and newcomers.

I’ve been dipping in and out and where I am, she’s just sent smoke signals to 1 Israel Street. Litijack is back! I hope I may be able to join in a current conversation at some point this year (and I’m going to Court as myself - got to have at least one person in a cop car there )

 

[Veronicaaa]

Someone's posted this on twitter, we doubtless caught it at the time but I'm just putting it here anyway.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

Seriously, who the fuck do her fans think they are? "Sit down. Be quiet." And for her to like it! I'm actually fuming.

Even just from a ridiculously literal standpoint, the “Sit down” part- do they think women tweet standing up or something?

PS, I am waiving any and all copyright on this if anyone else feels the need to deploy, fill your ‘cropped’ tshirt tucked up into your bra boots, pals.

To the frau asking if I take requests, yes, yes I do, but not until I have done my next $17.82/$18.01/$18.41 2 basket big shop next Saturday. I want to do the next one out of the one tin of custard I buy and the two I already had in.

Spoiler: I did an X rated version too

with the help of an environmentally friendly bag. For when nothing less than swears will do

Edit:

 

[DisgruntledGoat]

P sure Harold was 42 so - as per LJC in the “bubble buddy” years - Jack’s abuse, harassment and threats of self-harm have evidently worked in getting him to talk to her again.

Like all abusers, she has a pattern.

Not squig-ing as a blue tick account, but epic subtweet by The Guardian (stop Poorsplaining):
