And there’s me thinking this was a new 10 page thread about sideboards. Do we think this is the real reason for The Great Potato Flounce of ‘22? How many listeners do these guys get? I wonder if it’s on my Amazon music…

Still listening to BARPOD. Nothing that would be new to us so far but it's a full potted history. She's fucked.

It's everything from Hunger Hurts 1, through to the Hopkins trial, Kickstarter, the health issues, Teemill, Patreon, all the collabs, Hunger Hurts 2.

Just mentioned Molly!

Jesse: "This is like a mega grift."

They asked to speak to Jack! She did not respond!

Now running through the 100 hour work week, contradictory tweets. Celebrity squad! FOI request to police. Katie Herzog has contacted Essex Police and awaiting a response. Now talking about Joshua Bonehill and clarifying he wasn't jailed for harassing her.

TATTLE HAS BEEN MENTIONED! THEY MENTION OUR BEAUTIFUL RECEIPTS!

THREAD 31!

Vimes Boots Index- ONS "Jack had nothing to do with this"

Tweeting terrible advice re fuel bills.

Threats to sue, transphobia right wingers. All debunked.

Katie Roche blogpost now being mentioned.

Homeless claims "living rough"/ never been homeless.

DIVA magazine debacle.

Claims of poverty but probably in top 10% of booksellers. "she's either lying or really bleeping bad with money"

Lesbian who currently dates men.

Claims to be able feed family on £20 "irresponsible and galling".

They've been talking to a frau.




Here's the links included in the email

UPDATE: During this episode’s production, Monroe deleted her Twitter and few of her Tweets have been archived. Our apologies.

A Recipe For Jack Monroe

You will need:

  • 25 oz. of alcoholism
  • COVID-19 (severe)
  • A whole autism (self-diagnosed)
  • Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (if available)
  • 3 (or more) concussions
  • 1 grandparent who immigrated (from Wales)
  • Note: Add 5 tabs of testosterone for a Jacked Monroe instead.
This story, if cooked up convincingly, should get you hired by the BBC, Netflix, Hellmann’s, and Del Monte, shortly before making you an influential economist.

Just try not to look too closely at what’s inside.

I didn't realise any grandparents were from Wales? Bit concerning if they have got that wrong from the start in the description.

I know Americans are not great at European geography (I'm not great at American geography myself, mind you), and I can understand the Essex-Exeter mix up because of the similarity, but if they mixed up Wales and Cyprus, honestly... 😬

I just said "hey google play BBC Scotland radio"

It started talking about an expert panel coming up to help with the cost of living, I thought that's not my Jack!

And it isn't. She's giving some money saving tips later. They say live it'll be live

THE EMIN PRINT WE SAW WAS NOT IN JACK'S HOUSE, FFS.

HOW MANY MORE TIMES?!

*aneurysm*

Also, Jack might claim to have an original Emin but we have seen ZERO evidence of it.

I don’t know how to quote from previous threads - but for the questions about Jack being a premature baby

She was born at 30 weeks weighing 3lb 9oz

Her mum posted it to a premature baby group I’m in on Facebook, with a picture of her then and now which is how I recognised her.

It’s a closed group so I won’t post a screenshot.

I might be wrong but that's quite a good weight for a 30weeker?

South West AA-er here.

All of what you have said is exactly why many in recovery are uncomfortable at best with her weaponising of AA.

Her behaviour on Twitter is often the polar opposite of how one who is actually working the program should behave and, in my opinion, she is hugely damaging for AA. But alas, if one has a desire to stop drinking, they are able to call themselves a member. Her behaviour also highlights one of the reasons why anonymity is so important - because if you behave badly or relapse it makes it look like AA doesn't work.

Monthly chips are popular in North America but not in the UK, not many meetings give out monthly chips and none that I have ever been to although you are able to buy your own. I am almost two years sober but also previously had a longer stint of sobriety many years ago. Most groups will give yearly chips out to their members.

Sorry just on chips - there are quite a few chip meetings in London and monthly chips are a v big deal ime. The zone 4/5 meetings that tend to have the same regulars ask if there’s any big birthdays coming up to order in those annual chips but monthlies and a couple of years are always in stock.

I’d imagine she attends London meetings in areas she’s likely to meet useful or affluent people.
