Jack Monroe #380 Hunger Hurts 2: Solar Lantern Boogaloo

[Belgian Bun]

I'm going as a lonely Essex playground, where itinerant freelance grifters take photos of themselves working.

 

[hooplifehero]

It’s like saying you’re really into Suede because “Film Star”

That is quite a good song though

 

[Fitnessqueen]

Un-freaking-believable.

That would be because they are generally not wrong squig.

 

[Captainmouse]

And doesn't wash her hands after.

Doesn’t wash her hands full stop

 

[ishant]

Well weird. "Jack is disabled", "Jack is allowed to have nice things", "This is a Tory inside job", "lies funded by the Tories".

And the classic banger:

It sounds like a list of tall tales from Tiddler

 

[Incywincy]

I just grunk'd the sex thread

Can someone please tell me how/why/where the thing started please?

 

[WaffleKent]

Add Twitter for Earth Day; Samsung; Helmans; Octopus Energy. She took over the Daily Express Column; had the Lorraine Series; did DKL; countless first person pieces in nationals; that’s just off the top of my head

God yes, forgot Helmans. Is there a wiki page on this? can't see one

 

[Edie Po]

Found it

 

[A Bit Like Marmite]

She must have popped a load of ducolax to be spouting that much shit and to need to be on the twitter toilet all day

I'm interested in the 'JM isn't working class' discourse and I'd like to ask Fraus whether they think class is more material (ie you might come from a middle class upbringing and have whatever education credentials but no support network means you're struggling month to month on rent/groceries is working class) or cultural (ie coming from a working class background, distinct 'working class' taste preferences vs 'upper or middle class' preferences, what you spend money on, income is less important)
On twitter sometimes I see people pointing to JM's upbringing alone as proof that Jack can't be working class. I'd more say that it's because Jack has a (minor) celebrity profile, brand deals, books, is invited to talks etc. so claiming they struggle materially to a point of working class-ness is pretty baseless.
Also the Karl stuff made me so sick. Hope everyone is ok x

I was brought up middle class.

But I would say my kids are very much being brought up working class because of circumstances

How much do you need to look into, to find £500? That suggests she has had more than one £500 donation.

I think the squig said over £500. so I assumed it was multiple smaller payments but I can’t find the original message to check.

 

[Edie Po]

That would be against their T&Cs... if only for Children, She knows this because she is forensically blessed on account of one of the many Acronyms she suffers from.

Someone said hers would be a platinum one.. I'll have to find the tweet

 

[Chap O]

Err… if she’s reluctant to be in the public eye, can’t she just leave the public eye? And get a job.

But who will look after THE POORS if she does that?

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

Ah OK thank you, it just shows up differently on my computer.

Yeah I think it was just that screenshot. Looks like that on mine too.

I think Jack has all the sins covered and then some. I should have added theft as well.

Coveting other peoples money?

A keen amateur actress?

Lightbulb moment
Oh the irony

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

I had a look and then found this from the same day...

View attachment 1540790

so something happened.

My notes on Jack's tweet record were out of date. I had it written down as 200 in April. Slapping my own wrist.

That was the day of tweet chaos that stood out in the graph I found (guess 4th or 5th depending on time zone?)

 

[MistyWindows]

I would imagine the will was straightforward- went to surviving spouse and then their children.

Is that normal? Like I genuinely have no idea! That’s how it worked for us but there weren’t any grandkids and my grandparents didn’t have any property or money.

I don’t know, obviously I’m in no place to judge and I’m not! But I would expect that they’d think the grandchildren would benefit more from it than Big D, it just seems odd to me!

 

[hiyaaaacath]

The “touch grass” thing is a weird thing to say. I’ve never heard that expression before.

Although Jack must be permanently touching cloth given the amount of time she’s spent on the toilet surfing Twitter recently.

It’s a twitter thing. The yoofs say it. Absolutely cringing for anyone over 25 using it

 

[Nonah]

I can't remember his name but it's someone associated with scene around Julian Cope who Courtney claims she lost her virginity to and he denies it, probably wisely as I think she was 15 at the time so...

Oh god I’m having a flashback to 90s music scene drama. Help. Send Mark Keds Is A Cunt T-shirtos.

 

[Captainmouse]

Absolutely, it's a choice. A choice that affects her child too.

I was trying to work out how many deals she's had in total, and not including loads of media appearances and magazine spreads I get:

• Sainsbury's
• Del Monte
• Experian
• BBC
• Book publishers inc. Penguin
• Superdrug

Hardly tiny unknown companies are they?
+500k followers and comfortable parents.
Yeah fuck off with your begging bowl.
