Jack Monroe #395 That’s not my fanny

[Slop n slide]

just reading the past thread and see you were discussing Jack’s dead name. I haven’t really considered that her past name is a dead name as such. Is more that the name Jack Monroe is her stage name, nom de plume (or nom de guerre).

Or nom de plum

When she says things about meetings, etc she thinks that she can't be found out. The same way that going to AA can't be. They aren't the same at all.
She's depended on people being utterly gaslit or not being bothered. And anything that she says being defended. Where are her flying monkeys now ?

There is one of them going nuts at folk just now, the rest are blowing smoke up her arse about how great it is that the King is making folk redundant and she's so right to defend him.

Just got in from work, feet up on the sofa with a glass of wine and a JM thread catch-up. Living a life beyond my wildest dreams. I never could have imagined this could happen to little old me #blessed

Can't wait for Jack to log on to Twitter dot com.

Because I’m not BUSY and want to be FORENSIC I went searching that conference’s Twitter thread for any more mention of the ONS/weekly meetings. You’re lucky I love you all because it was L-O-N-G. I didn’t find mention of weekly meetings in the tweets but I did find this direct quote. It’s an organization not a person but I wasn’t sure of rules there so squigged as they don’t have a blue tick. She makes it sound as if she’s bestowing the VBI on the ONS/they’re one and the same

(Link just goes to the Guardian article about the VBI)

they also posted this from her talk-the brass balled fucker

…with no sense of self awareness at all

There was also an article of her greatest shite published the day after- not sure this was posted at the time. It’s

Writer and campaigner Jack Monroe urges volunteers to continue fight against poverty - TFN

“If we all do something, we will change somebody’s world."

tfn.scot

Oh I totally agree with that. I wasn't really speculating about whether Jack's trans identity is genuine. What I meant was - does Jack herself claim a trans identity? Bc it seems that she now uses female pronouns, presents as female, refers to being a woman, etc. I guess if you're nonbinary then you can use she/them or whatever, but she doesn't do that either. It comes across like she got bored with it and moved on. I don't mean this to be disrespectful to trans people. If someone tells me they're trans then I believe them. In this case it's Jack Monroe so I don't take anything she says at face value.

Yes, sorry, I deleted that because I didn't mean it as a reply to you. There was a previous post further up the thread but I clicked on yours while I was scrolling by accident.

She definitely said she was having weekly meetings with the ONS at some point, didn’t she? Or was that Asda?

One last thing. I think it was the response to this tweet that made me do the FOI.

Oh god, I hope someone sends him that screenshot & the ONS statement.
You shameless, shameless charlatan Monroe.

Crikey. Do they just do the rounds ? Latching onto contentious issues for attention. Dimwits.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

I often wonder if she thinks all the likes and laugh reacts on her screenshots are for her. She’s such a narc I can imagine her seeing a screenshot with a lame joke of hers on here, and thinking the 100 laugh reacts are people laughing with her, not at her.

If she thinks well over 100 of us were utterly delighted at her clarifying “that’s not my fanny”, she’d be correct.

Yes @Valiofthedolls found a post on here about the Edinburgh talk where she mentioned the weekly ONS meetings.
As mysterious as her weekly foodbank volunteering sessions.

I think the whole name thing is irrelevant. She changed her name a long time ago. She's given various different reasons over the years. It's her legal name and it seems unrelated to her grift. It's not a dead name, as it doesn't seem to be related to her trans-ness, but it interests me about as much as when she chained herself to a tree as a teenager.

She offers up so much in the present day.

Any newbies, yes, you'll find cringey blogs etc. searching her old name, but honestly, unless you are cool with people digging up tit you said as a teenager, please don't post it here.

 

[Bugger13]

I wonder if the programmes that had her on spouting about 344% price increases with no questioning of whether it was true or not will ever be held up for examination.

Yep. There actually is a really interesting documentary here for someone. The lack of knowledge and platforming of people who are proven liars/not specialists/not even knowledgeable about the basics is a particular bugbear of mine. So much ‘fake news’ around nowadays & few to no background checks. No wonder people are falling for grifters and charlatans when mainstream media is bloody platforming them.
Looking at the GMT bookers.

 

[Candytuft]

She hasn't been having weekly meetings in any way with Asda. I know this I told about my relative who is a big cheese at Asda before but it's her job and I wouldn't press her or be able to tell much.
She's angling for a commission. They don't need her.

It's like that spate of influencers a few years back who were buying stuff and pretending it was a brand collab presumably in the hope of attracting a real partnership, only more embarrassing as these were young wannabees whereas Jack is 10 years into a career.

Is that the Book Festival talks? She did two and the site is still up offering access to them for pay what you like. It asks you to register to continue but then gives an option to continue without registering. Didn't a few people from here listen to it and give a commentary?

 

[fairylights2000]

Government doesn't do 'off the record' in the way she thinks. Emails, calendar entries in senior people's diaries, meetings: if she thinks it's 'off the record' it isn't. FOI requests usually result in an instruction going to staff to search their inboxes/calendars etc for, in this case, 'Jack Monroe' - they're required to turn in any results and the FOI team will decide what is releasable. MAYBE she thinks WhatsApping a director or director general level contact (SCS2 and SCS3) is off the record but I believe many Departments do advise staff that WhatsApp messages from official devices are also fair game under FOI.

I don't see a high flying civil servant at the ONS or anywhere else in Whitehall hiding the fact she's been softly, gently speaking to them on numerous occasions over many months. Why would they. Ergo, it's bollocks!

This is 100% right based on my experience (also ) however I meant that if anyone says why didn't the FOI request mention the conversation you said happened on 28 May Jack can just say oh it was informal off the record to cover up the fact that it didn't happen (or she rang them up out of the blue and made small talk for 5 minutes)

You know how Jack is back pleading poverty intermittently? This just popped up in a friend's FB feed......

APILN is Alistair Coleman who is a BBC journalist I think. Not the same person.

Phew

It's the SCVO talk she did in Glasgow which seems to have vanished but I didn't watch all of the Edinburgh one so she might have repeated the weekly meeting thing?
