Jack Monroe #41 No one else gaslights or fights for 'likes' like Jack Monroe. Oops.

[Jelly Bean]

Also, book content aside, as a published author I find it very sad that she had no idea what her son's possibly favourite books were, or what he's read, until he's down to the last in the collection. Has she never discussed with him what he's been reading?

Yes I think the saddest thing about this whole sad thing is her lack of interest in her child's reading habits until it suits her own ego.
She is not a concerned Mum but a jealous snubbed would be author with axes to grind about 'white male millionaires'. She couldn't give a flying duck about children's literature or she wouldn't be fixating on one author.
She's had months of lockdown with her son off school to discuss and debate his reading material if she was that interested and concerned. But instead she takes grimy selfies in her pants and lugs tins of paint around for fruitless hobbies. Oh and spends hours and hours and hours on twitter.

 

[AmberSpyglass]

She is so self important.

And what books will these over one hundred librarians schools etc take off their bookshelves to 'review '. And what ones will they allow to remain?

And off how they all DM her, rather than posting it on twitter where the message would be far more effective. It is almost as if she is making it up.

Is she ......lying?

 

[Alansbigplate]

Really clever, and I agree she must be spitting feathers. They didn't even look in her direction, just responded to the Daily Mail request for comment and then went back to business. She started crowing about how she guesses they'll be responding to her tweets one at a time. Mate, they didn't respond to you at all. You are so insignificant.

 

[Droosie123]

1000s of schools, libraries etc have contasted her....

Yes Jack of course they have dearie.

Am sure half her followers are people laughing at her.

 

[ShowMeYourFeline]

Oh, that's interesting. She says her abuser was a woman who held what Jack "was told was a knife" to her throat, and Jack didn't know what to do and felt she couldn't tell people that "her girlfriend rapes her".

All very murky.

I hate to doubt rape victims but...
JM is a compulsive liar with a victim complex. She has the motive of getting multiple oppression points here. Domestic violence, rape, societal homophobia etc. And also the attention that comes from the uniqueness of being raped by a woman.

Sorry but I’m smelling a steaming hot pile of bullshit.

 

[Silver Linings]

Can’t someone tweet her the pictures of the offending character and call her out on this bullshit once and for all? Or send it to the Daily Mail to support the stance Harper Collins has come out with? If she won’t backtrack (she won’t) then someone needs to call her out on her tit

She’s backed herself into a corner. They’re arguing among eachother now.

When her money ran out she sold her Ford Kia and most of her possessions and moved to a cheaper flat. - I thought it could not pass a driving test? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/young-mum-turns-off-heating-so-she-can-1502710

I just want to say...

Spoiler: May include swearing

Jack you are an absolute bleeping bleep

admirable use of spoilers x

 

[Gem74]

She's definitely going for Martyrdom. Jack of Arc with her venomous bark.

next thread title?

 

[kirkvanhouten]

It's a slippery slope when books come under review. Do they remove everything? Does removing it outweigh the fact it is an incredibly useful tool in getting reluctant readers to read? I don't know of any school I am 'part of' even considering it.

 

[Pocahontas]

Soooooo the takeaway from my catch up is that hundreds of teachers, libraries, and independent bookshops have her DMs on speed dial. Sure, OKAY.

[J4n0Z]

I can imagine you do not start writing tit on twitter to get people 'canceled'

No, I haven't. Just not enough of a maverick genius, I guess!

Monroe only got her diagnosis of autism a few years’ back, prompted by her inability to learn to drive, roundabouts and junctions being a particular hazard. “I just freeze, like a blackout. It happens in other areas of my life too,” she says. -https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-c...-tins-twitter-and-talking-about-gender-102271

It just does not add up. Sorry.

That's a different spin on the life story from Jackie!

Ah someone needs to tweet some different pictures of the character, she's blatantly white

 

[GrunkaLunka]

Invoking the name of Desmond Tutu against her. Omg these people. Ffs, don't you know how nicknames work? Her name is Tutelage and the nickname is Tutu. I feel like I'm going mad here.

I sometimes wonder if quite a few of them are goading her purely for the theatrics.

Exactly, people in glass houses

 

[Blurp]

She's 'mortified' that someone would think she would use 'Karen' derogatorily , haha says it all really. Only the very, very reactionary see it as a slur. IMO! Qwhite interesting indeed!

Did anyone else see that photo of a middle-aged, middle-class white woman with a placard saying "KARENS SAY BLACK LIVES MATTER" at the US protests a few weeks ago?!
