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

[Cucumberthunder]

I saw that, they said we have nothing to do now Jack is off twitter . Err squig, Jack often leaves twitter in a strop, we entertain ourselves perfectly well, thanks for your concern though pal .

This bit of Jack's comment suggests to me that one or more of the agencies mentioned have found concerns, enough to keep a note on file. She sounds rather irritated with them, which gives it away imo.

Agree.
Also if you take Jack at face value then since SB was born she has done sex work, been an alcoholic, passed out so many times he's used to it, "lived rough", lived in a house share with 5 adults, expressed suicidal wishes (plus implied attempts), shared her own experience of CSA and how her stalker still lives very close to her, used food banks regularly, lived without a fridge, lightbulbs or hot water...

None of those make her a bad mum, but I would hope that social services are aware of her as all of those things present an increased risk to SBs welfare.

In fact, it's probably her middle class privilege that means they're not *more* involved. (Assuming any of it is true...)

Don't! My mother is a narc and it took me about 34 years!

Spoiler: merail

. I’m 43 and it was only last year that I realised my mum was a narc and my other siblings were her flying monkeys. I left their religious cult many years ago and have been made to feel like I let the family (mum) down etc etc lots of drama and pile ons by my siblings to gaslight me. I went to therapy finally (husband advised me to go) and then I realised I was a good person and my mum was a narc, with the rest of the family her flying monkeys. Don’t ever feel bad if you didn’t realise, or how long it takes you; narcissists are very cunning. Anyway, as you were.

Someone more skilled than I should strikethrough everything after 'creating' and add 'nothing' at the end

There is an author who writes about Trump's dodgy dealing who explains his ways sort of like this as well. He's happy for people to focus on idiotic things (like when he tweeted a nonsensical word) to keep the attention away from the structural criminal set ups he is involved with. Focus on Monroes dumb things (however entertaining for us) detracts from the big issues around lack of accountability (lack of accountability that actual charities would be taken over the coals for).

Not saying we shouldn't mention the idiotic here though! That's what Tattle is for and why I also like it here too (not sure who made the 'feed me' picture of the godawful kitchen rug this week but it had me ). In a way it's a shame Content's matted hair has taken away fromt he teeth in that picture. What the duck is up with that facetune????

Also, see Boris.
“I’ve got a brilliant new strategy which is to make so many gaffes, that no one knows what to concentrate on,” Mr Johnson said.
“You pepper the media with so many gaffes that they are confused.”

I was thinking about the squig on Patreon(?) who said that they were happy not to have any rewards, because they just want to support her. And yeah, that's fine, but do you speak for all 699 others or for future patrons that join? If that's the deal, then it needs to be agreed and stated as such. "Pay £3.50-£44 a month for the satisfaction of knowing you're enabling me to do my work (which I won't give you any extra insight into or acknowledge, let alone show gratitude for)."

As does the huge amount of sensitive personal information she shares online, including so many photos of her home that people were able to find her address

Good question. I’ve wondered that myself.

Given the fact she named the kitten she got immediately when Louisa LEFT after Louisa’s beloved deceased childhood dog (the very same dog she put in a bowl and served Louisa for breakfast), I’d imagine the original/real Laurie was someone in Old Harold’s life at some point.

Maybe a beloved deceased cat from when he was a little boy, or his ex who cheated on him, or his mother, or something equally fking odd.

Excuse me what?! Every time I think I can't be further surprised I am. That's seriously odd.

ETA: I knew about the weird breakfast bowl thing. I didn't know about naming pets after an ex's dead pet. Weirder and weirder.

 

[KebabGirl]

We've passed 140 hours since Jack left Twitter. I think we've got less than 24 hours before a triumphant return. "I'm not letting faceless trolls take away my ability to write shite all day and get praised for it. "

In the Instagram story I'm sure she said Laurie Lee. So was that a favourite suggestion author of one of her exs?

No doubt my take on things is cooler than Jack on politics and someone will have said this: does she actually think Hunger Hurts 2, Pasta or Potatoes are in the same league as the Satanic Verses? And needs the same protection as Rushdie?

 

[AndrewsDaddy]

Not to mention insists on him sharing a room with her while other empty bedrooms and burger man turning up in middle of night to service his mum

Without the rice paper dog, this just looks a bit crap.
Add in the dog and it goes to a whole different level of batshit.

I've never had a invite to the convening of the canal/coven where we plan a coordinated and sustained attack by repeatedly reporting her to multiple agencies . She's full of tit. I work in social housing for a large local authority. I work with the agencies she's mentioned, even the RSPCA. Multiple agency working rarely happens until there's a major crisis trigger. It's just not happening, Jack . In any case, according to her, Celeb Squad is monitoring and protecting 24/7 behind the scenes so she should be fine.

The other thing that would flag her to agencies also is her repeated statements that she is a single mum, which suggests there is no support, no other supervising adult while those things are going on, therefore no protective factor to mitigate.

In terms of the alleged reports to social services, it is FAR more likely that someone who knows Jack and SB personally made them. A stranger on the Internet wouldn't have as much information to give that would trigger an investigation.

 

[noweverythingsucks]

She goes to the coffee shop several times a week to support people with various things but she's always claiming to be on the verge of a breakdown herself. Where does she find the time between all her fellowship meetings, recipe testing and donating dozens of meals to charity each week plus volunteering at the food bank and working 100+ hours. Truly remarkable.

I'm sure someone on here pointed out that she had been criticised for not doing enough stuff locally and would likely come back to social media to demonstrate examples where she has been doing. Makes you think, doesn't it?

 

[Just Lou]

I've been online forever. I've received my share of criticism, as anyone with several thousand followers on any platform does. If you post something, anything, however innocent it seems, on a public forum, some negativity is to be expected.

Spoiler: Me rail

I've also had contact with various agencies and honestly, it was all entirely justified. I was a parent when I was in my madness and if you claim to have been a good parent while drinking to blackout.. well... (although I do believe the vast majority of us do the best we can with what we have at the time). However, I also managed (as many do) to attend to my child's most basic needs and, much like Jack, I had a support network in the form of a partner (she has admitted SB's dad is a great dad) and an extended family. I know my behaviour has most likely caused some trauma, despite the good network that we had, so, I've done what any good parent would do and my child is now awaiting therapy, with a charity that specialises in drug and alcohol abuse. My child is the same age as SB and I can only hope that he is getting support from other family at least. Because like it or not, he will have some trauma, and it's highly unlikely he will have told his dad/other family exactly what he experienced while in Jack's care.

Exactly. Occam's Razor, innit.

But then doesn't big up the local business, provide any recommendations...just tells people they'll never guess where it is.

 

[AndrewsDaddy]

Spoiler: Kitten

Yeah, you read correctly.
Jack went through a strange 'breakfast bowl' phase where she created disgusting bowls of what looked like oats and yoghurt dyed with food colouring to portray scenes from Louisa's life.
Louisa is an avid cyclist so there was a bowl of multi coloured slop with a tree made out of fruit and a cyclist drawn on what I can only assume was rice paper.
Louisa had a dog called Sophie and it was her absolute soul mate of an animal. Jack made a slop bowl, put a picture of the dead dog on it and photographed it for Instagram. Apparently Louisa cried.
I wish I were making this up.

She also got a deformed kitten after Louisa left and called it Sophie, neglected it and it died.

GMB are asking for questions to put to Martin Lewis. Is now a good time to ask when the Monopoly game with Jack is taking place?

Ask him if cancelling direct debit and paying what you can afford is the way to go?

If someone posts things online like show yourselves out when you've finished, I'm done (paraphrasing from the other day), then people are going to be concerned.

From what I understand, she said things previously that were more concerning than this.

The penny dropped for me after HH2, and I discovered this thread. Because of that, when she had a meltdown last week, I read here that it was a fairly frequent occurrence and nothing to worry about.

I can see someone who hasn't been on these threads reading one of her messages, worrying and contacting the authorities. Not to cause her aggravation but because they are concerned about her. Because if you didn't know these things just get tossed out, you would worry. So I think its a bit rich thinking Tattle are behind these reports. If anything, I think its more likely that the Tattle threads have prevented a lot of reports being made.

 

[Emmapism]

Agreed about the multiple agency point. From experience of working on certain things I can't elaborate on, you more often find the opposite is true. Agencies *not* talking to each other and really bleeping tragic stuff happening as a consequence.

Jack's just got her titties twisted because people had the gall to ask questions around claims she's openly made. As we all know she's a literal expert who cannot be questioned on anything and requesting clarification is akin to saying you want her dead. Or some such bullshit.
