Yes, she’s indulged in so much trauma inflation that she’s literally got nowhere else to go. She’s already claimed a variety of highly traumatic experiences, in unusually (for trauma victims) graphic and specific language, to get people off her backs and continue the grift. What worse trauma can she claim next? I’m putting my money on her claiming to have been one of the Chibok kidnapping victims, an ISIS bride or an alien abductee. Yeah, Something like that might work.
Is that where she went last year?

In fairness to that squig, they tell people to Google them in their bio. I am an obedient frau, so I did and found an article about some genuinely nasty harassment they were subjected to a few years ago, using malicious fake profiles to falsely imply they were a BNP activist and some crappy homophobic stuff. I think they might be influenced by that in their response. What happened to them was nasty and can't really be compared to Jack having a parody account. So I'm afraid that as much as I sympathise they're still talking bollocks, public figures have parody accounts and deal with it, so there's no reason for Jack to be an exception.

I wonder if Jack knows what sweets or chocolate bar to buy now she hasn't got the twatters to ask? Can she choose which infernal biscuits to bake without a twitter poll? If she is doing these things but can't post every brain fart to the world wide web are they really happening? 🤔
Perhaps she’ll just hang around the dog cafe, yelling ‘completed it mate!’ at strangers and trying to get into arguments about socialism with cockapoos.

ISIS fiancé, surely?

Are you going to be #thrifty and line them with the contents of your hoover bag?

😂😂😂 Well I could but I thought it would be more Jack to hit up the White Company for a pair of sheepskin slipper socks and offset the expense by not paying any tax and selling my lightbulbs. 😂

That account follows a Boris Johnson parody (possibly others) so as a dear heart said earlier, it’s ok if it’s someone they don’t like.

ps. I’m having a mini posting chaos. Accidentally deleted my last post trying to get rid of an additional quote response. Send eyeglasseos

I apologise in advance for being off topic but I just made the courgette pasta from Stanley Tucci’s recipe (on topic he fully credits who taught him the recipe) and it was bleeping epic. I also just costed it. For two, about £5, no tins, no slop, cheap and fantastic, so also on topic there. Just reflecting on previous rage posts I have made, like many others, wondering why JM never mentions or bigs up any other cook / community group despite all the behind the scenes efforts made with damn all to show for it.
This puzzles me too. Being a poverty campaigner is a different skill set from being a chef/recipe developer. I guess Jack sticks with the chef part because the cookbooks etc bring in the $$$$. But IMO she'd do better to focus on the poverty campaigning and instead of struggling to come up with slop recipes herself, refer people to other chefs who do good low-cost dishes.

Of course, this is all based on the possibly mistaken assumption that Jack does any work at all, or that she would deign to share credit for accomplishments with anyone else 😄

I think the most egregious thing about that article is that the author talks about "Monroe's work", as if she'd done anything more than a back of the envelope calculation, a bunch of moany tweets, and a beg for old receipts. She made a point,an observation, which wasn't even original or surprising to economists. It's hardly "work".

Sounds like somebody middle class pretending to be working class so who bleeping knows 😆

Blue tick is not impressed. I find the whole "this isn't funny" argument to be pretty ineffective. Probably because it really is funny.

Different skill sets and she has none of the skills that go in either set.
I cannot imagine trying to collaborate on a project with her. Oh wait-yes I can! 💭 Jack railroads the first planning meeting and pushes her idea, no one else gets a look-in, she upsets the nicest member of the group and they withdraw even though they had the best idea, a plan is formed and developed but Jack lost interest already so from that point Jack doesn’t turn up to any meetings or hit any deadlines. People start having to pick up her tasks. The project is in its final stages and Jack has arrived to insist on last minute changes. Launch/opening night has arrived-in the very last minutes Jack arrives to document for Insta her incredible work with her amazing team of whom she is SO PROUD.

I'm a single mum, actual single mum (no immediate family close who I speak with, no father in the picture at all, not even on weekends) myself along with thousands of other single mums out there simply just can't cope with working and single handedly bringing up a child, it's seriously difficult on a one house hold income, absolutely no one to lean on for financial support, literally only being able to take 16 hour jobs that offer flexibility and have an understanding boss. I've also had my benefits stopped, was thrown out and had to be moved into a hostel (emergency accommodation) there are immigrant mothers I've met, a lot of Muslim women from war torn countries in an alien country trying to single handedly bring up children, I know single mums who've committed suicide because they've had benefits frozen or been forced into a dangerous hostel with young kids with them, it's horrific. The reason *actual* single mums are mad is because her son Jonathan's father HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE PICTURE SINCE BIRTH, JACK HER SELF TWEETED THIS, IN HER OWN WORDS HER SONS DAD HAD TO WORK AWAY FOR A MONTH THEN CAME BACK HOME. That's not a single mother, single mothers have no father or family and friend supports, hence the term single mother. Jacks father financially supports Jack's son and he stays there a few times a week, she comes from a family of 2 working parents in a decent area. What's actually happened is, a middle class narcissistic woman, had a taste of being a single mother for a few weeks and realised just how hard and debilitating it is, unfortunately actual single mothers situations rarely change, especially in areas that are impoverished, its terrible. Go to Redcar or Middlesbrough, a lot of areas in stockton on tees, speak to the actual single mothers bringing up kids on a street next to an ex offenders hostel on a street rife with crime all because dad decided it was too difficult, women who are told they brought it on themselves being a single mother. She had father in the picture, financial support from her sons dad, wealthy parents who would of happily bailed her out, friends who were decent people. If you want someone to give you the reality of poverty and making the best of a 20 pound shop seriously go to these areas, these women have had tough lives. Great that she's giving a voice to these people but don't pretend for one minute you have ever been in that situation jack. Like the time she claimed she was homeless yet posted on Facebook the exact same week asking people to come to her home for food. She's a walking contradiction. She reminds me of the song common people by pulp, trying to speak about something she has no idea about, she's like the Rachel dolezal of people in poverty
