Jack Monroe #402 Which police squad will be tasked to investigate Jack being signed up to a mailing list?

[jenny2603]

But think of all the imaginary ailments she could invent. Limbs hanging off. Needing to see the barber to get her 57th septic tooth removed. Perhaps even a brush with Long Plague.



It’s definitely my least favourite Jack look. I love vintage inspired stuff, but she’s gone way overboard and looks like my aunt during her new romantic phase.

Although she’d do well to remember - ridicule is nothing to be scared of.

Getting scurvy* because a Tory stole all the citrus fruit on the ship and told her to shut her legs.

ETA: SEVERE scurvy

 

[Wooh]

Also, for me, this is what has finally opened my eyes. The manipulation of people pretending she has a serious illness in order to get (money? Attention? What?) something. It's crass and manipulative and deeply offensive to people who have had loved ones suffer cancer or suffered/suffering it themselves. It's straight out the narc handbook and incredibly manipulative, and deflects from the other issues (eg 'I can't possibly ask Jack where my Patreon money is, she has/had cancer', 'Jack needs to not face consequences to her actions because she's seriously ill', 'I should donate money to Jack as she has had a rough time' type narratives). It feeds into the wider picture that Jack is somehow a massive victim yet still bravely 'campaigns' for poor people and should not be scrutinised because she has had a tough time. It's manipulative and offensive

Yes, it is manipulative. Maybe the solution is to note the oncologist tweet BS, rather than include "the" photo?

SEVERE scurvy (confirmed!)

 

[Cookiecookie]

Imagine being stuck on a boat on the high seas with Jack.

You'd voluntarily walk the plank.

I see her publisher is as stupidly enabling as usual. Where does she find these people?

 

[jenny2603]

SEVERE scurvy (confirmed!)

On a weekend by the secret NHS team for people in public life who monitor Twitter looking for signs of illness in celebs so they can softly, gently offer a diagnosis and helpos.

 

[Cucumberthunder]

Has anyone read the new JKR/Robert Galbraith book, ink black heart? Sounds like Jack's decided she is a character in that as it revolves around semi coordinated online abuse, lots of twitter/Tumblr/forum stuff.

(I've not finished it yet, don't send spoiler-os)

 

[Tin Can Crook]

She's currently liking all the praise.

Idk squig, have you maybe considered it's because Jack isn't nearly as important as she thinks she is.

 

[hotdoritos]

Christ… do I want to know what the Grenfell post was?

 

[FlirtyThirty]

SEVERE scurvy (confirmed!)

“I’ve got the worst case of scurvy the doctor has ever seen. What can I do?”

“Have you tried…”

“YES I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING DO YOU THINK I AM STUPID”

 

[Just Lou]

Can't think why squiglet...!

Oh dear sweet second squig...

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

I think I recall Jack also making much about hairloss (despite her lovely thick hair!)

This was around the time of Daily Kitchen Live and Louisa leaving, so April/May 2020.

 

[hotdoritos]

“I’ve got the worst case of scurvy the doctor has ever seen. What can I do?”

“Have you tried…”

“YES I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING DO YOU THINK I AM STUPID”

It’s almost impressive for a person at that young age to have experienced everything, thought of everything, and mastered it all too. Props to you Jack. Jack of all trades, master of all trades.

 

[Justacatindisguise]

Prove it.

(For those who missed it I tried "teemill" and "delmonte" as passwords on her teemill site after someone else joked about it. Or at least I said I did. Fascinated to see what evidence Jack brings to court.)

Christ… do I want to know what the Grenfell post was?

It's in the wiki, but read the linked blog post with caution, it might be triggering.

Spoiler: sweary

She's a bleeping ghoul

 

[Tin Can Crook]

Apparently people are trying to DO HER IN (with mailing lists lmao?)

Edit with answer from squig

 

[Fruitjack]

She’s read here, seen some of us mithering on about guessing passwords, talking about the distance to Aldi from her house etc etc, and tried to a. Make us shut up b. get Twitter white tick sympathy c. Deflect from all the other stuff.
Simple as that. But there’s a reason why there aren’t 400 threads looking at how far Jamie Oliver lives from his nearest Aldi and it is nothing to do with people’s views on gender.

My dear partner often mentions it, I never saw it, but wasn’t it something along the lines of being waved through the cordon because FIREFIGHTER ?
I hope one of the JM officianados kept it …

 

[Five hundred dogs]

Thanks for the clarification! Not to but I can’t say I’ve ever seen a medical eye patch that looks like that nor have I heard of one being used in the treatment of an insect bite.

Why would you go to the doctor for an insect bite in the first place? Or even take to your bed? I know an insect bite of your eyelid would be unpleasant but it’s just a bite fgs.

 

[House of Carbonara]

I have never commented on all her cancer tit. I work on a Palliative ward and if I started about how disgusting I find her doing this bullshit then I really may have the police at my door. She is a

With bells on. As someone with cancer cases in the immediate family, I find this utterly unacceptable. Contemptible c*nt.

We need to talk about Grenfell, and the corporate manslaughter of the poor.

I wrote this from the top of the church I volunteered in, inside the Police cordon at Grenfell, yesterday afternoon. I served as a Fire Control Operator for Essex Fire and Rescue Service from 2007 …

And the metro article that describes her as a former firefighter

Grenfell tower 'met health and safety standards' says construction company

People blamed insulation cladding for why the flames spread so quickly.

Spoiler: cancer me-rail

I'm younger than Jack and have already lost four family members to cancer, including a parent. It's not even been a year since I held one of their hands as they died. There are no words for how much I despise her cancer cosplaying and putting it out there for her son to find one day.

Sending love to everyone affected
