Jack Monroe #377 What’s the point?

[flightofthealligator]

And groom the poor creature! She absolutely needs a good grooming session before her coat becomes a mass of tangles.

There are loads of dog groomers who are refusing to take on new doodle breeds because naive owners aren’t doing the basic maintenance to keep on top of the coat. I would love a golden doodle or a St. Bernard but I havent got the time, patience or space to deal with a muddy 60kg plus tripping me up all the time and doing all the grooming

Christ I dunno what's more soul destroying. Watching Jack's tweets or the F1

 

[MsGilmore]

It definitely seems like the tide is turning. The flying monkeys are seeming to be drowned out by the anger and disbelievers. This may never lead to her being ‘cancelled’, but will hopefully start to cut off the constant stream of undeserved money she is receiving.

That bothers me so much. I don't give a frog's fat arse if she doesn't attend to her own personal hygiene as I'm unlikely to ever be in the same room as her lingering honk. She needs to groom her dog, even if she can't afford a decent dog brush an old hair brush will do.
My cats love being brushed, we made it part of their daily routine since they were kittens and they still get knots as that's just how their fur is and I assume it's the same with young Content. As usual she's just jumped into something feet first without a care for the long term implications.
Apologies for the long-winded post, animal care is something I'm really concerned about. They rely on us for everything and imho she's practicing cruelty by not caring for the dog's coat properly.

Something’s definitely not right with her, and it’s hard to feel sorry for her when she’s once again said so many things that could hurt people in such a short space of time, but it just doesn’t feel as funny right now.

And I know nothing will stop our LOLs to take the edge off of things, but personally I’ve got to the point where I genuinely don’t understand wtf is going on with her, and it’s not nice to watch.

I really wish for all our sakes she'd take a twitter break. Just one day off it would be a start! I know we joke about our EXHAUSTION but it really is exhausting, and that's just watching it from the sidelines. Can you imagine how awful it must be to have to put up with her IRL? Or worse still - to actually *be* her.

First look at her Netflix scam documentary....

Spoiler: A folded arm, shadowy figure emerges to tell his story...

Same here. I started when he was a kitten, to try and minimise the Maine Coon underarm tangles! He has a Mason Pearson hairbrush that someone gave me as a gift decades ago. It's an enjoyable bonding thing to do with a dog or a cat, but I guess it's too much like hard work for someone as selfish as her.

 

[Boyo]

I went to sainsburys this morning and got 2
Pain au chocolates, so my shop is £1.60 this week, yes?

Yes, absolutely! Just stick ‘em down the far end somewhere for now.

 

[Lauradianalou]

I'm no mathematical genius but how in the everloving f*ck is she saying that it costs a almost £50 a month to run a fridge freezer??

I'm glad it's not just me thinking that....

 

[LavaFlake]

Someone call Ronan Keating cos this is a bloody rollercoaster rn lol.

Also bringing this back. It's been shared before but is particularly apt.

[Soap a Dope]

also wonder if tweeting couch potato calls everyone a 'labourer' who...actually goes to work.

As my northern , working class Dad used to say about a work shy grifter like Jack....
They think manual labour is a Spaniard

May he rest in peace the auld bastard

I’ve said it before and will say it again - why is no-one in her immediate circle of family/friends stepping in for a word in her shell like? Her SM is open and her Twitter is off-the-scale in terms of its barmy output. If that was me - and my mother or father were party to it, even at the ripe old age of 42 - they’d be having words with me. Either to check I was OK, or to get me to the Drs.

The tails go straight up in the air when we say 'brush?'. I call the underarm part a 'charm-pit' which is something Jack most certainly doesn't have. She has harm-pits.

Because she won't and never will listen. I'm sure they have tried many times over the years.

Her family were on holiday, and she definitely ramped up the batshit crazy vibes around the time they went away. Maybe she thought she could go with them and they said no?

She does like 'punishing' her family it seems with awful public spectacles like this.

 

[That Forensic Man]

The latest ridiculous, performative £20 shop for slop might end up as damaging as HH2 has been so far. She's not even pretending this is what her meals will be built around this week, see how quickly she's boasting about the vegan(ish - LOL) steak and blue cheese surprise.

It was never about that. She just wants to boast (doesn't matter if it happened or not, truths and lies are interchangeable) about Asda reducing their prices after her "campaigning work". It's all about JACK. I do realise this isn't news to you.

As others have said, word is slowly spreading and she's becoming a joke. But only to those in the know. She'll still keep cropping up as an "expert" in the media, spreading her downright harmful, self-promoting, off the top of her big head bull. And she is literally harming people and she needs to be stopped.

It needs someone who knows her to speak out. And I'd blooming love it if Ash Sarkar (or if you don't like Ash, I do, name another journalist or outlet* here that Jack couldn't smear as having having an agenda) was nosing around behind the scenes, putting two and two together and working on a piece. A fair, balanced, factual takedown with a far wider reach than Molly has achieved so far. No offence to Molly, much thanks indeed for all they've done.

* if you name them, they'll likely find the post in their Google Alerts or social media monitoring.

It feel like it's all crumbling down and I'm absolutely here for it. Speaking of Google shall we take a look at some of Jack's Google reviews, see where she's really been spending her time and money? These are all from '2 years ago' per Google but will span a year, call it 2020 for sake of argument. I've grouped them by location radiating out from Southend, dropped the free parks/rec and left in links so you can get a feel for some of the opulence. If I'm feeling particularly forensic later I might calculate how much this little lot would have cost for say just 1 night/1 meal at each plus estimated travel costs. Note the lack of budget choices and glut of 4 and 5 star hotels. Not sure how forensic Jack is with leaving Google reviews, this could be just a small portion of her overall scampering that year and it won't show repeat visits.

I'm sure there's plenty to examine in more detail here but there are a couple of things that jump out at me:
Why did she claim Dishoom wasn't a chain restaurant despite having been to both the London and Edinburgh locations?
Why was she at YO! Sushi in Edinburgh airport, did she fly from/to Gatwick (see ibis London airport hotel)? One way train tickets hmm.
How is she able to afford so many private members clubs/lounges/suites?

Spoiler: fine print

I don't consider this a privacy issue as it's all from 2 years ago, it's not like I'm exposing her current location (her own tweets do that). Also this information is (and will remain to be) publicly available to anyone, see Google's privacy policy. She has another account (we'll get onto that, this wasn't a one-off year) with 160k views on her 20 photos.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

Can I please ask that given their sterling track record of successful thread nominations, @Brian Butterfield nominates The “store cupboard” does a lot of work in this £20 a week fantasy for next thread title?

I’m honestly not sure where this is all going to end for her, as by not shutting up she’s making it infinitely worse. Martin Lewis has already contradicted her ‘advice’ on canceling your direct debit. She’s hubristically imagining some VBI for fuel costs. Even though she swiftly deleted it, in her desperation to hang her hat on the fuel crisis she’s claimed in a long tedious string of tweets a fridge costs 50 quid a month to run.

Delete or don’t, claim exhaustion or whatever else- people are seeing you Jack, a lot more people than you might realize. And they’re realizing that the emperor has no clothes.

SHE has now also contradicted what has been her entire schtick for the past 10+ years, that you can feed your household on some tiny infeasible amount of money per week.

The grift notwithstanding, every single utterance just demonstrates she has no idea whatsoever what she’s talking about, no memory for what she’s already put out there.

Oh, and no idea how to do an internet search because she can’t even come up with ‘a convincing commissary of lies’.

That’s before all the other nonsense she’s putting out there. She is a utter liability. To herself and others.
