Word of the day is 'Growlerflit' (15th Century): one who appears to display their growler (fanny in modern parlance) only to reveal it was actually their thighs.

Just back up a second. Those bags, are they Jack merch? Big tote bags declaring the holder has paid for emergency food by buying it? I must be mistaken. Am I misunderstanding here? Are they Jack merch tote bags?
But then where would Jack get her narc supply of attention
the problem isn't the platforms she uses really, it's the way she uses them. She's not one bit professional on an account that should be strictly professional. She is so far up her own hoop she truly believes people want to hear about her personal life, how often she has sex and all about her son.It's all just to feed her need for attention
You're not misunderstanding at all. Here's the shop with the bag and T-shirts.
They are Jack merch tote bags. Jack set up a teemill store with some (to be blunt) aggressive slogans on, and made a huge song and dance about all the proceeds going to the Trussell Trust. The TT distanced themselves (we were not consulted on the slogans) and by all accounts had to push quite hard to get the £10K Jack said she'd made as profit. It's in the wiki under T-shirt fundraising.
I genuinely believe DMS should remain private unless you have a disclaimer on your profile.And very much ascribes to the same school of social media management as Jack - lots of evidence in her threads of the extent to which she too is DMing people to try and gain support/turn her supporters against her detractors/switching social media platforms to escape backlash. I would suggest people read her thread, it's eye-opening (and like Veronicaaa said, the whistleblowing isn't something I've seen anywhere else on Tattle. If only Caroline would whistleblow....).
I have been wondering why more people haven't come forward/shared DMs from Jack here or on Twitter or anywhere else. I hadn't realised until recently how much she does it, but I do now wonder whether that is the bulk of her 100-hour work week. "I'm done" squig really convinced me of it. Not sure there is much point speculating but I can't decide do people not share because they are afraid of her taking legal action, because they feel sorry for her/feel she is vulnerable, because they don't want to be piled on by FM? @Upthisweek I completely understand your friend changing their mind about sharing their Jack DM, but are you able to share WHY they changed their mind, was there anything in the DM itself that persuaded them not to? Or was it more to do with Tattle
Thats actually staggering. Have hit the roof. Have double peaked. So first of all if you are reading this and you need a big bleeping tote bag to say you gave money to a food bank charity, you are a twit and cannot be redeemed I do not care how much that bleeping bag cost.You're not misunderstanding at all. Here's the shop with the bag and T-shirts.
2- I am going to the Charity Commission. I want to know how many were sold and how much money was made, because thats bang out of order and downright not alright.
3. I have to have another cup of tea now and my jaw is bleeping injured from hitting the floor.
THis is the Charity Commission and Action Fraud. Two separate organisations. They are very keen that if individuals see people purporting to be involved in charitable activity, and pocketig the cash, that they contact them. https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/charities I am going to do this when I calm down and pick my jaw off the floor ad address the bruising, but I feel like any individual who was shocked to duck at that, should be able to do this.
What does the one about the bread and circus mean? Is it a tenuous connection to the phrase, “not my monkey not my circus”? Why, if so?
Agree, it's appalling. I've created archive links both taken at todays date just incase of any sudden updates when Jack catches up here. They've been there since the first few days of the shop opening.

Interesting to note, both of the above links are the first archive captures I've done. However I note on Wayback there have been 7 previous screencaptures of the store and two previous on Archive.ph. Looks like someone else is watching.

Yeah it’s all kinds of wrong. She invented the idea of “dead people cant riot” t-shirts, a design firm offered their services gratis, she then found T mill and produced DPCR t’s (sans apostrophe - a conscious design choice, apparently) with the blocky slogan not unlike one the design company offered, but with the awful curly font “Jack Monroe” at the bottom. She then got high on the attention and was tweeting about “accidentally set up a fundraising T Shirt shop” promising cheaper items like badges would follow (apostrophe badges would have been a great upsell here) needless to say she never bothered
I knew about the T-shirts which I thought were misleading but htose bags are directly saying you have given money to food charity not 'the money from this bag will contribute to nothing more constructive than a snowstorm in Southend.'.
There's a matching t-shirt as well. And there is absolutely no clarity over where any donations have gone since the big £11K donation to the Trussell Trust she made in March, but the store is still open and still claiming to be donating to charity.
The bag is all that I hate about people lately.
Do something nice by all means but it's when people have to then say what they did on social media or in this case a massive bag.
I blocked a woman I went to school with as she took a photo of herself with a homeless man after giving him a sandwich. The poor man looked broken and embarrassed. Total bleep behaviour.

Also, I know we all said it at the time, but what a bleeping waste of money and resources (environmentally speaking) all for a cringeworthy virtue attention beg. Basically throw away 81p-86p per £1 to look like a prick and give a measly few pennies to a mysterious charity which both relies on the kindness of others but doesn’t want anyone to know about them.
You really, really couldn’t make this tit up.
Hey Jack, if it really was about helping, you’d generally just ask people to donate the whole amount. Go well, dipshit.
Any newer frau, divers or Herr wishing to revise the TT (trussell trust) T shirt debacle, it starts here

Jack Monroe #251 There isn’t a big enough salary in the world
Oh my god STOOOOP please I beg of you.

There’s been zero transparency. She said there’d be regular updates but there weren’t. She paid £11k to TT after a big song and dance but has not said what has happened to the past 7 months’ worth of money from February. The website still says all proceeds will go to charity and Jack has even said it has without saying which charities have received the money or when or how much was raised. It’s like her donate a book to a foodbank. No figures to show how much was donated and how many benefitted apart from the odd general number thrown out. Lots of money passing into personal accounts with no transparency.
I see there's a new squig frantically socking it to critics that Jack should be allowed to walk away as it was all an 'accident'.
I can’t remember but I think we might have done donations around this as well, or perhaps recently done them for Slopmas. I think many of us who contacted them were also donors, so we had every right to be concerned.
It's a play on the old Roman Empire maxim, "bread and circuses". She has misunderstood that it means that you can superficially appease the people by distracting them with food and spectacle, and is instead saying the government is so bad they don't feed the people (no bread) and are incompetent (the circus bit).
Jack, Jack, I’m at the Asda in Weston Supermare and my trolley’s got a wonky wheel.
Two minutes later: Thanks Jack, I swapped it for another trolley after asking for help and I know it’s because you tweeted about it once that asda now provide working trolleys. Thankyou for all you do #Blessed
