She did, but we think she means that basic plan the vets gives - like a once a year check up, toe clip and worming/flea tablets

Anyone got access to this who can drop it into an online AI audio transcription? (i.e. not rely on a Moleskine notebook and a crumbly hand)
If you go on their Twitter you can listen to the first ten mins free btw

I wonder if Jack’s massive strop about potatoes was because of this expose? Surely that’s it? She’ll only have a few wet ninnies who haven’t figured it out if she comes back?

I suspect she'd have been livid once they got in touch with her. It'll be interesting to see how the flying monkeys respond or if she comes back and tries to defend herself. As I say there's nothing in the podcast a long term Tattler wouldn't know already but when you hear it all described back to you it brings home how insane the whole thing is.

But this pod could just be the start - look at the momentum gathering since Molly’s blog! We prayed for a podcast expose for so long!

Def interested to hear what their take on her is, especially as they’re outside of UK

Jesse burst out laughing as soon as he heard the can't lie because she's autistic quote. They came back to it a couple of times and they were both just hooting at it. I'm hoping it's something they revisit, particularly if Essex Police get back in touch with them.

Someone on the last thread (sorry, I don't remember who) asked what the Welsh word for grifter is.

Typically, people are known by their occupation along with their last name, so in English you would have people like Jones the Chemist, or Williams the Milk. In keeping with that I can only assume that Jack would be known as Monroe the Swindler. 😲

I just finished listening to the Blocked and Reported episode and it was fantastic. Katie Herzog did a great job providing a history of Jack and explaining all the inconsistencies. Tattle got a lot of credit for compiling all the evidence.

Lots of media types listen to Blocked and Reported, it's very influential in that world. This is very bad for Jack.

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.

Jack Monroe: An Investigation

This is the most exciting development since Molly's article dropped, and it's come at the perfect time after potatogate - so many more people are catching on to the grift since the roastie ridiculing, mostly through being directed towards Molly's article and the mentioning of the trusty catalogue of receipts the Dear Fraus have collated here. It's beautiful they've managed to get the episode released now at the point where more people than ever are interested in her and the endless lies.

Also, just to add, superb work with that list of her spending... it is SO bleeping SHOCKING seeing it all laid out like that. It's sickening, she absolutely disgusts me. Thank you fraus for being a shining light amidst her endless horror.

I am SO curious about the Essex Police thing - she kept tagging them in on Twitter so presumably they have had some involvement. But surely they can't have a Celebrity Squad going when police these days don't even have the resources to investigate real crimes like burglary?!

I'm no Jack Monroe, but I've rustled up a cheap batch cook tonight.
1kg of chicken breast 1 jar of arrabbiata sauce 4 chicken stock cubes 1 litre boiling water 500g of penne pasta Chilli flakes Fry it, add it, simmer it for 35 minutes. 5 meals for less than £8. Delicious.

If you were Jack Monroe you'd have added a can of peaches to the recipe.

I listened to the free 10 mins and subscribed as a result so I could hear the rest. It is absolutely damning all laid out like this and I’m not even finished listening yet. Completely damning. She has no way of countering this- or suing/threatening to sue them.

ETA the only thing they’ve left out was the grifting for legal fees to sue Daubney etc into her personal PayPal. I hope they revisit her as a topic.

Imagine if Netflix or some documentary maker does do it? I know she’s small potatoes 🥔 (Small, Dire Potatoes as a title?) but as a con job type story it’s a banger. People love that stuff.
I hope wonky b gets a cameo. Can’t help thinking of that woman who continued to insist Savile was a good guy even after he was exposed.

Someone got an email from them confirming there there was no such squad, I think it's on here a couple of threads back. Essex Police did come out and visit her a few months back but she claimed that was a malicious report at the time.
