I've wondered this, and it realllllly seems like it might have been. Then thought it couldn't possibly have been, given those frenzied, type first think later tweets. I picture SB happily coming home and mentioning the latest books and she's snatched it off him, flicked through and thought fucking BINGO mate let's go and grabbed her phone(s)Was this whole DW thing pre-planned?
I'm starting to wonder that myself. He is an easy target at the moment having come under fire recently for his other work and I agree it is definitely racist and he should be called out. They way Jack has done it though is almost identical to the Jamie Oliver saga and as per usual lacking in evidence. Tweet some slightly indignant thoughts/opinions to garner support. Then tweet something much more inflammatory and enjoy/encourage a pile on with vile comments including violence. Then swiftly delete and act contrite/slightly daft/ blame it on condition 534 and somehow after rolling in all that shit she comes out smelling of roses. On the surface at least. Scratch it and we will find the Tattle threads, Lime Goss article and followers little by little deserting their former heroine.Was this whole DW thing pre-planned?
I feel so bad for the poor digital/social media execs who had to photoshop the living ephrema out of that to make it even look that palatable (it still isn't).
Seeing as we're going there, vom in a cute lil jar too x welcome to the thread though @doop and other newcomers.
I don’t think most of what she does is planned, if she is officially called out for it I.e. by his agent I bet she’ll cite being out of it on some kind of meds for her “ouchy mouth “Was this whole DW thing pre-planned?

the same way she can say she’s never had any other cats before when she has but she meant she doesn’t have any others nowLurker hereFirst time posting on this thread!
This is exactly what I thought. How can she claim she’s not going after him but give personal attacks?
Personally I've always considered it quite.....a tory......thing to say? Like pulling yourself up by the bootstraps absolves the state/society of responsibility for the systemic injustices that land people in shit positions in the first place, and if you do manage to 'bootstrap' yourself to success (saying this as someone who has completely done just that) it's largely due to privileges you have, and luck? It's not something to be proud of, like everyone deserves a decent life regardless of how much bootstrapping they did or didn't do. It's always made me feel uncomfortable but again, she likely grew up in a home where her parents held those sorts of beliefs considering their gr8 financial position?Just saw this and am admitting my ignorance. Is "bootstrap" considered racist?

Exactly. By her logic, Jack Monroe has never:the same way she can say she’s never had any other cats before when she has but she meant she doesn’t have any others now

Amen. She won’t reply, but some people are seeing the light it seems.

I swear I read somewhere that she chose Bootstrap for that very reason. It's meant to be a dig at the Tories telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps in addition to being similar to 'shoestring' I think.Personally I've always considered it quite.....a tory......thing to say?
