Jack Monroe #408 All those blue ticks holding her up like Simba

[Pocahontas]

Thank you to @Ooointitot for the thread title, nominating @ChickenPorridge ’s words. You both win one egg, to share.

Recap of last thread:

Jack has been the subject of a podcast (Blocked and Reported) and a Sunday Woman article. She is still off Twitter.

(please add to this if you wish!)

 

[MoistenedGussets]

She had a phone in appearance on radio Scotland. She, according to reports, sounded more nasally than Mr Big Nose Of Huge Honkershire.

Weird bots are spamming Twitter with variations on "Jack Monroe has left Twitter". This one is a better cook than Jack so it's not all bad.

That's just reminded me of the chicken/spam meatballs. NOPE.

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

That interview is a disgrace.
Asda essentials need to start selling those nasal washes.
I can’t wait for the licence fee to stop being compulsory as this is so offensive.

 

[HotesTilaire]

There’s been a heckin big load of interest in Thumbelina Peapod from increasingly mainstream media.

 

[DinosaurSenior]

I'm really surprised that Steven Jardine had her on his show. His column in The Scotsman is all about eating high welfare food, enjoying what you eat whilst considering its provence.
Snotty Monroe is the opposite of what he writes about.

Although.... The previous feature was about feet fungus so....

 

[hoopdedoo]

At first I thought these bots were those strange news-scraping accounts that hashtag themselves into threads on major stories. They don't run any original items, they just retweet what's already out there. But since these bot tweets all seem to be pro-Jack and anti-mean people, and Jack leaving Twitter is a minor story in the bigger world, I suspect something deliberately organized is going on. Something trying to overwhelm the Jack Monroe Twitter searches with "positive" Tweets.

Can't imagine who would want to launch a campaign like that.

Incidentally, check out the Sept 29 Dilbert comic strip. Scott Adams = secret JM fan?

Hi! Been lurking and grunking for a few weeks, still trying to catch up but I have a little something for you in the meantime that I don't believe is in 'the list' so far -

 

[That Forensic Man]

SANCTIMONIUS COOL GIRLS FORENSIC BUNGALOW STOCKTAKE KLAXXON
Spoilered for frau's comfort and so I don't get WARNED.

Spoiler: thankyou stocktakers x

Did anyone manage to triangulate the squishy sofa she's sleeping on and the velvet sofabed she gave to a friend and all the billions of cushions?

Well this is a lovely catch-up after a really hard couple of shifts-just what the day off ordered. I’m absolutely mind-blown by the Spenny List. It’s yet more confirmation (none more needed) that she’s a liar and a grifter and an entitled, embittered Tory who feels done wrong. The brands she buys are frankly insane. They are the brands of the upper middle classes-when I was house-cleaning we would see the Emma Bridgewater and the Penhaligons and the Cotswold cabinets galore. It makes me lol how trad she is when she spends so much time and money playing kooky quirky thrift store Jack.
Are the tattoos on the list or did a travelling tattoo apprentice insist on her being their muse?

ONE HUNDRED HOUR WORK WEEK innit. Also she has a shitload of those diaries* to fill and absolutely nothing to fill them with.
I will never not absolutely love that she self-importantly does an hours-long “stocktake” like she’s a flagship city centre branch of British Home Stores (RIP). Respect to you, Jack. It’s what they would have wanted.

Spoiler: *shitload of those diaries

View attachment 1613456

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.

@That Forensic Man i need to make a correction as I made a mistake with one of my costings (see how it’s done Jack)

Spoiler: Correction

A frau said earlier that they thought the kitchen snake baskets were Wilco so I went looking for receipts. They were identified as Wilco by @Ninch55 and are £56 total if there are seven- not £45 each as I said (in my fuge state) I’m sorry. View attachment 1612756
I will however countermand this terrible error with the expensive coffee machine she said in the book intro for Good Food for Bad Days that she bought with the advance (noted by @Veronicaaa) featured in same kitchen. Despite claiming to not drink coffee.

No word on the turban monstrosity £
View attachment 1612790
I’m stopping this now as much as I think it’s useful to have all in one place, the rampant consumerism while rattling the can and being disingenuous about her finances and ‘managing on a budget expertise’ is absolutely nauseating. I actually feel sullied and grubby just from compiling this stuff.

For the List, didn’t some Frau Marple triangulate the necklace at the Arcade Fire gig? I thought it was Tiffany but can’t see it on their website.

Morning, ninnies! Great news on the podcast. Anyone for toast? Two slices or four?

I could be mistaken but that doesn’t look like a cheap rucksack - the logo on the shoulder could be Peak Design (major speculation on a blurry photo I know me-lud!)

the shoes in the TBC

Spoiler: Edinburgh shoes

Oh, and a brand spanking new iPhone too. View attachment 1612703
These are the shoes she both claimed a stylist had left behind at her house so said she could keep, and also that she accidentally walked off a photoshoot not at her house wearing them so kept them. Identified by @Into_the_tunnel, they’re Russell and Bromley
View attachment 1612707
Her 10 Downing Street leopard monstrosities are similar but with block heels so assume similar price tag and I think she’s got at least one other pair too.
View attachment 1612713
Also Ray Ban sunglasses at over £100 a pop. I am pretty sure more than one pair but can’t find receipts for the others right now.
View attachment 1612716View attachment 1612722
A caveat that some of the things on this longlist might well have been less expensive at the time she bought them, but not by a huge amount. All these things have always been pricey. Again as others have said, NO JUDGEMENT of what anyone spends their earned money on. Don’t then whinge you can’t afford rent, to buy a house or grift money from other people while posturing as the voice of poverty and a budgeting expert though.

ETA

Spoiler: Loads more crap

View attachment 1612735
These look like a combination of tall IKEA Billys to me. At current time narrow and wider white versions are £75 and £120, same in the ‘wood’ colour £112 and £148. Not to mention the cost of what’s on them. Top right shelf looks to have over £150 of Moleskines sat on it for eg.
Also, more books and bookshelves. Different ones. Rainbow book wanker.

@That Forensic Man there’s a lot of Sophie contain portmerion crockery all over her insta. I have to go to work but I am very sure a lot has been triangulated. There was a drama when a load was delivered late (?) at one point. https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/home-garden/sophie-conran-for-portmeirion-white-tableware/_/N-lvjl

@That Forensic Man a few more additions for the Spenny List:
£300 print
View attachment 1613688
View attachment 1613689
And 400+ Christmas baubles(!) Fraus at the time triangulated a cross section as being from John Lewis, Gisela Graham and Oliver Bonas, all in the range of £5 - £7.50 each. None of the others look like Home Bargains or Wilko either, so...£1,000 at a conservative estimate?

Spoiler: stocktake T&Cs

Anything spenny is fair game, but I'll add whatever fraus want.
My own benchmark is discretionary or 'non-essential' spend in the context of someone who claims to not be able to afford shower gel or 6p for butter instead of lard etc.
Jack moves things around constantly so try to avoid double counting.
Instagram is a literal and figurative gold mine (see TBC spoiler).
If I like your stocktake post it means I've seen it and will include in the next update.
Have fun.

[Wooh]

Jack Monroe #407 I lost hours yesterday learning about a Jack Monroe

Someone has the hump with us on Twitter. We were discussing jacks blatant cocaine use actually.

tattle.life

If you're in scrubs, @MoistenedGussets Jack may want to maaaaaarrrrrryyyy you.

Speaking for myself, your user name is even grosser now I know what's underneath that gusset!

 

[Candytuft]

Jack leaving Twitter is like when a priest performs an exorcism. The demons don't really leave they just retreat and bide their time. They pop up again just when you think the room is light and warm and something wicked has gone forever.
I went on a ghost hunt last week. In Jackland I'm an expert. Once done that'll do

Pallets of products normally cost about a grand each Jack.... that's from wholesale also. Lord knows what it would be if she bought them from Asda. Lmao

The backlash really is astonishing. This would never have happened even a year ago. Thanks @MoistenedGussets for the interesting read.

She didn't *actually* say that she bought 10 pallets, she just implied it!
