Jack Monroe #399 Catastrophically embarrassing

[Feck]

Because she’s not like the other girls. She’s quirky.

Coming from the past so apologies if already said. A couple of points.

Maybe she pays herself the max salary to avoid tax as below threshold (about 740quid a month) and is using that to make her point. Ignoring dividends and the rest of the earnings…

AND I assume we already have this great detective on the case!

 

[Lurkingandlaughing]

For the life of me I cannot fathom how rent on an 850k house can be taking up 90% of an income which must be above 135k a year, and is more than likely way above that. Especially as she gets her food shopping for 20quid. Maybe rents are really silly where she lives and far exceed any notions of market value and everyone is on such enormous salaries that she cant compete...

The 3.50 tier is digital only and its the tiers above that are subject to the complaints? Well that people all over the notion that by some miracle her patreon defied normal distrbition and everyone is on the bottom tier...

In the pic posted earlier I counted 68 envelopes - so if the lowest tier is digital only then at the time there was 68 people paying at least €8.50 a month. Sickening.

Edit: just to clarify, I mean 68 of the thin brown envelopes. There were a few larger packages that presumably were higher reward tiers.

Coming soon, Jack Monroe Christmas cards! Choose between four charming designs. A Robin with a branch up its bum, filthy hands wrapped around a gold sprayed trifle (hilarious), a wet Christmas dinner without spuds, or a prawn cocktail with inexplicable tinned grapefruit chunks.witchetty grubs

FTFY

Good spot, and that was even before Nigella’s idiocy. Nigella is hardly ‘budget’, can bet a lot of those signing up went for the higher tiers. I think even we’d be shocked at how much she’s creaming

I don’t know why I’ve never looked before but have you seen the price of the Georgia Church Suppers book?! (Still my favourite chaos.)

Totally alone. Is this can admission that she has no real life friends or family to support her? She will do anything but give up Twitter.

I really don't think a teacher at an English grammer school would tell a pupil they were only good for flipping burgers, that's such an American expression.

Yeh not the faintest whiff of truth on that one

It makes much more sense when you realise

Probably because she's lied so much about everything so when she starts up with the 'they're STALKING MY HOME' nonsense in real life, everyone just falls around laughing or rolls their eyes.

I quietly suspect she's buying this next 'downsize' flat in cash.

Ebay is your friend for all your Ham Ball needs.

(If we're lucky, it would be seized at customs, the Pumble is frightening enough!)

She probably counts her income as everything she earns minus expenses. So not just the usual gas, electric, council tax, but also weird floral jumpsuits and earrings. What’s left is barely a pittance that at times, doesn’t even cover the rent, which bounces but is always on time. Leaving poor Jack to live on lightbulb soup for the rest of the month.

Jack actually is the boy who cried wolf. Or the *insert anything you fancy, after all she does* who cried wolf

Bit tricky these days due to money laundering rules - it will be scrutinised

I have just stumbled across a very odd Twitter account. It only follows Martin Lewis and Jack Monroe, has no followers and has only ever tweeted about Jack and Prince Harry. It's being particularly nasty to a Patreon who is looking for a refund. It seems quite worked up, arrogant and contemptuous towards the squig in question. In my experience seeking to make people feel stupid or malicious for raising a complaint is a silencing tactic. Far be it from me it imply someone might be using an alt to say things they mean but wouldn't dare express on their main account but it really, really makes you think.

I don't know where she thinks she'll be living though, there's literally nothing on rightmove to rent *or* buy in her posh 'hood that's a one bed garden gaff. She'll have to look further afield...or weep and wail and gnash and renew again on the crappy b...
