Jack Monroe #409 Send product or refund or admit you're a blatant rip off

[Falkor]

Thread title courtesy of a Kickstarter squig, nominated by @Valiofthedolls - your prize is all the Oktoberfest beer you can drink.

Jack is still off Twitter but has reappeared on Instagram with some new Content. The squigs are pointing out that Content needs a decent groom because she's starting to matt.

Journalists are sniffing around still and we are currently all watching the month end Patreon drop to see where it finally ends up.

Please use 'thread title' when nominating and the wiki is the pink button up top. Carry on!

Other happenings:

- Jack is shedding patreon subscribers (end of the month figures trickling in)
- Throughout Friday there were some real weird pro-Jack bots working hard
- Some squigs have directly pointed out poor Content's coat is matted.

Well it’s the end of the month and I’ve kept tabs on every piece of work Jack has mentioned throughout the month. I will stop and acknowledge that we can’t know everything but I think we are getting a good picture of her output here based on the following known pieces of information:

• Jack overshares online and likes to brag about work she has done
• Several FOI requests this month have highlighted she has lied about several pieces of work including working with the ONS and the coroner’s office (or at the very least had access to reports as part of her work).

A breakdown of the completed work can be found in the below spoiler (it’s a big boy).

Jack has completed an estimated 29hr20m of work throughout the month of September. She frequently cites that she works “100 hour weeks”. I’ve averaged this at about 14 hours a day. That means we have a deficit of about 420 (nice) hours of work which are unaccounted for.

And quoting myself like a ninny but I did a breakdown on the amount of work she did throughout September and it was unsurprisingly not a lot.

Here it is broken down throughout the month with the deficit hours shown in red. Concerningly, the bulk of the work actually appears to be travel time between events rather than actual active output.

As much of her defenders state that Jack “does so much good”, I thought I’d take the time to break down her work into commercial ventures she does for profit with benefit to the causes she campaigns for and into the actual work which could be loosely argued as activism.

This (posted at the end of last thread) was her “dressing like Allegra” phase, i.e. when she was with Allegra.
It’s weird how she picks up so many stories and traits from other people and tries to make them her own.

 

[Nurseali]

We all got hats...her dog needs a good wash and groom and some love.
She is still grifting as her patreon is still open
Her Instagram is rubbish if she is using it to test the waters.. You are gonna need a bigger boat Jack

She really does look like a portly Tory there

It's called mirroring. Narcissists do this, it's a common trait along with love bombing.

So is she a dog groomer or a waitress

 

[Tin Can Crook]

And her fans refuse to use their eyes?!

Editing to add: if she went to a dog groomer only two weeks ago, why can the poor dog not see?

 

[kirkvanhouten]

Also, cafe 3 times a week? Is that in the budget?

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

Still catching up on the last thread, it closed before I could post this so going to drop it here.

Yeah they really do. We had two bunnies when my kids were little-seriously high maintenance and that was with a nice big grassy run, hutch in an outbuilding for weather times and a hutch outdoors for nice times and house time where they played in boxes and got loves and strokes. They need loads of inoculations and you’ve got to bath them and keep them nice and clean. Plus all the food prep! I did more for those little shits than I did for the kids. Did you know you can train them to use a litter tray for weeing? (rabbits not kids) Not for pooping though. They just poop as they go. And they will chew absolutely everything. Little bastards but I did love them!

Spoiler: Bunny Me rail

It's really nice to see so many loving and knowledgeable bunny fraus on the thread. Bunnies are my heart animals, I love them so much and feel very passionately about their welfare and rights. I've been rescuing rabbits for over twenty years now, worked in many rescues and they were my specialty as a VN. Currently I have 5 rescues and they are my babies I just want to clarify (although I may have misunderstood your sentence) that rabbits do not need bathing, they groom themselves. In rare cases where they cannot self groom due to weight or mobility issues, the rear end (if poopy) can be very gently dipped in a shallow amount of warm water, around 3-7cm. Rabbits need to wrapped in a towel and gently dried thereafter. Full baths can cause hypothermia as they are not designed to become soaked. Their body cannot cope with it.

Spoiler: ETA

ETA, Apologies, I've just seen clarifications and corrections from you lovely Fraus. Also cross posted with ValiD re other pets. One thing I do know is that Dash was a baby when she bought him circa 2016/17. The pics are on Instagram. I am pretty sure I did a deep dive on her pet photos and did a post about it many threads back with pics and dates. Three of my buns are estimated to be 2016/17 birthdays and are thus middle aged but show no signs of slowing down and that includes my girl with kidney disease. My eldest is 10, he is slowing down and that's about the age it usually starts, that is what I would call old. Dash was 5 or 6 at best which is actually quite young. And he really should have had a mate, especially living all alone in a garage.

She goes to drop food off as it has a food bank box of course

I knew young Content would be the worlds most groomed dog.

 

[Moneypenny’sfreedom]

As a frau with ultra furry dog the state of Content is massively winding me up. Getting a dog groomer is not simply a case of running ones grubby finger down a list of Google suggestions.

1. Groomers are busy, good groomers can have waiting lists ( ours has currently closed her books) and they assess if they and the dog are a good match. Finding a groomer willing and able to take on Content could take months rather than weeks and it’s a very basic need for an oodle style dog.
2. Content, being a young dog, should have had introductory visits to the groomer so that she can get used to groomer and identify any fear, issues ( my, now elderly, bundle doesn’t like his feet doing, but because he is such a big pudding merely sits on them and treats coaxes them out from underneath him, however many dogs are fearful and need delicate handling, it is scary for them what with clipper noise and a new person and the situation needs proper and delicate attention)
3. We went through 3 groomers until I knew we found the perfect fit and my rescue/ shy/ quiet dog was obviously happy with the groomer …. We know Jack doesn’t take time but ffs the poor dog cannot see, has mats and needs an emergency groom now!
4. I’ve been in the vets when a matted dog type was brought in past us in reception

Spoiler: Distressing animal abuse

and heard the dog screaming in fear and pain, according to the vet it happens A LOT and quickly with these breeds, and because legal standards for animal welfare are so low it’s unusual for owners to be prosecuted

Spoiler: Dog merail

I have a traditionally feathered long haired bred and when he was rehomed with us we decided keeping him short was a good idea. Our climate during summer makes long haired dogs rather uncomfortable, for some breeds grooming is simply a choice ( and as my great pudding was a nervous wreck when we got him, think cowering away from a traffic cone, terrified of rabbits, hadn’t been outside much ) potentially hurting him getting knots out of his pretty coat was not acceptable and would have caused further shyness in such a gentle dog. An all over buzz cut once every 10 weeks keeps him cool, clean and as he is prone to ear infections allows the medicine to enter his ear canal more freely. That dog needs a bloody cut

Jack is too lazy to look after the dog properly, I also think soon she will not have the money to even try and look after the dog properly. A groomer is going to have one hell of a time with a wriggly Content who will be possibly scared, bored, uncomfortable with the whole process of grooming. In many areas groomers can simply pick and choose their clients and poorly socialised, poorly trained dogs just aren’t worth the bother.
Jack, find a groomer, pay for some introductory visits ( running a clipper over her body but with it not turned on, lots of tummy tickles etc…) and get her groomed, the type of dog you have grooming is not an optional extra it is mandatory every 8-10 weeks for the comfort/ welfare/ care of the dog you bought to show off with on Twitter.
sorry for the rant…

@kirkvanhouten. You might want to crop your screenshot.

 

[KebabGirl]

Couldn't resist replying. Love we have another thing that happens in multiples of 3! My dog is best looked after dog on the planet blah blah.

We are now at 125 hours since the Twitter deactivation. If we get to 720, that's her account deleted. We are 17% of the way to that deadline!

So lives on £20 a week for food, but goes to a cafe 3 times a week. Okkkaaay then

She sounds like an idiot when she spouts this stuff. Mind you, that’s probably because she is one.

And seriously, is there any professional she has dealings with who just do one job full time? So here we have the cafe worker dog groomer, there’s also the Sunday school teacher accountant and then there’s the therapist publisher.

 

[Tin Can Crook]

This screenshot was taken on the 18th. At the time the canal speculated whether it was an old photo.

She looks matted in this one but allegedly was fresh out the groomers now?

Makes you think.
