I use mine to cook lasagne. Decent lasagne not slopWhy is she always lying?! I have one “nice” handbag, it’s a Marc Jacobs one I’ve had for about 10 years and used to use daily until small cu
Thought that pic was meant to be porridge, felt v upset. Realised it’s actually vegetable peeling stuffing / roast or something and feel even more upset. Cheers, kids crying.
Wow. That blog is something. Sounds like JM pissed off her neighbors a long time ago. And not because she wore a bathrobe to take out the trash. (Dressing gown to take out the rubbish bin. In English, I think?)I found this yesterday from 2015, which makes much the same point and had the measure of her back then. It’s an interesting read, and demonstrates she has neither grown nor changed since then.
“I have been campaigning for the living wage for as long as I have been campaigning” says Monroe but her campaigning amounts to her talking about being a campaigner. This awareness raising, her, following her, becomes an end in itself
Follow Jack Monroe Fight Poverty
Jack Monroe has removed the words “social justice warrior” from her twitter profile. Cooking on gas in never never land you’ve got to wonder, was she ever? Jack Monroe is up for B…talesfromthesouthbank.wordpress.com
It’s infuriating because it’s such a dick move. There was no reason she couldn’t have had the simple story: I got myself in trouble, had a bad patch, now I want to help other people who find themselves in that horrible situation. But she just couldn’t do it. It’s all about her, so her “experiences” had to get worse and worse. Instead of focusing on growing a brilliant career, it’s all about the Jack Monroe Misery Porn.I think youvte hit the nail on the head here.
she been brought up believing she's entitled to the good life, the easy life with no effort or hard work. That's for the Jeremy Kyle types. That's why having to go on benefits was such a trauma and she actually believes she's had it worse than anyone else, ever. She said herself, it isn't supposed to happen to the likes of her. The millions of others who have to struggle, Irrelevant. She sees herself as the star of a blockbuster tearjerker of glory of trauma.
Probably terrified the rug of doom was going to consume himShe doesn't have more than one arse does she? Good God, she's vile.
To be fair to the kid, he was probably sick of his shoes getting dirty every time he walked on the floor.
That plus then going out of her way to argue Dishoom wasn't a chain retaurant, and then the google reviews show she's been to at least two of themThe whole independent restaurants thing then going to Five Guys and Dishoom. Like you there were many many signs but that was just such an obvious lie and contradiction.
Baked bean pieGET OUTTA JACKS NICHE!
OMG, well done for finding this - this is outrageous! It totally shows what she is really like & foretells her ridiculously litigious future!Yet again it reads more like something Jack would look at someone else and think, rather than something someone said to her. See also, “should have kept your legs closed”. She gives herself away so very often.
Here’s a charming (bullshit, fictional) moment in a pub beer garden among the great unwashed that Jack felt the need to share. Again, very transparently her true viewpoint and attitude is on display without her even realizing it. Thanks to @HotesTilaire for the screenie- and I’d really recommend going and reading about this in the thread too, as there’s more detail (including her obnoxious follow up comments) there.

Jack Monroe #194 She only came back cos we were about to put out an album
Gosh a lot of weird, unlikely events happen in Jack's life don't they.tattle.life
Fran Martinez is amazing & never is self pitying either. She describes herself as being 'a bit wobbly'. Unlike the constant self labelling JM does about disability. I'm disabled myself but hate that kind of stuff!I've only seen Francesca Martinez on Very British Problems. But she was amazing. So, JM appropriated her voice and words? Jesus what a pathetic little beast.
And she's something JM will never be; naturally funny & interesting. Monroe has mentioned before that some people told her she should do stand-up comedy. No, she really shouldn't.Fran Martinez is amazing & never is self pitying either. She describes herself as being 'a bit wobbly'. Unlike the constant self labelling JM does about disability.

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.
Now fuck off x
Mulberry bag? Which one was this?
P.S. she's up to a round 571k now
SoOoOo awkwardFor the newbie ninnies, you may or may not have seen this...I'm still having a dig around to 🔺️ some of her stuff for the epic list c/o @That Forensic Man
Enjoy and I'll be back in a bit xxx hopefully with some goodies x
I would get on with this man.His next message was shall I bring it back and give it a rinse
The whole "I'm a newspaper editor and I have a room full of Burberry coats that I can just give away" is a little suspicious. I understand that there are plenty in the press who get freebies. But I have known a lot of reporters, editors, etc. in mid- to small-sized papers. And they do not have jack to give away. Anna Wintour--sure. Bob Shemansky, western Massachusetts features editor--not really. My aneurysm is her "investment" in pawnable clothing. Just fucking unbelievable.Well that part at least is easily refutable bullshit. All in her very own words too.When she was with Leggy in 2015 she dropped between £6,500-£7,000 on two Burberry coats; a beige trench coat and a leather jacket. The leather jacket is a pretty well known piece and was around a lot at the time; Britney Spears had one too. It was a Burberry Brit and cost about £5k. The trench coats cost over £1,500, even back then. This is the average trench coat/mac price today.
View attachment 1645364The resale value of those trench coats is pretty consistent and there’s always demand for them. As for the leather jacket, even now, the resale value of her leather jacket WORN is over £1,500 and there is still demand for them. This is a high end legit designer resale website and is this year.

All that to say, that’s quite the pair of investment pieces. Except she did not sell them when in 2017 she ‘came out as still skint’, had a massive rattle of the can, turning on her tip jar and starting her Patreon (this from the Wiki)
View attachment 1645384
At that point, the investment piece leather jacket had not even been worn. How do I know this? Because in Feb 2020 Jack told us a long (bullshit filled) self absorbed story about buying it and the trench coat back in 2015 and that the leather had never been worn. Credit to @PineappleQueen19 who originally found this.

She in fact had a rattle rattle beg the month before this
View attachment 1645404She also had another MASSIVE rattle of the can very shortly after this article was written in Feb 2020, very early in the pandemic when all her work dried up. (Thanks to Jenny numbers for this one)View attachment 1645409
(except it didn’t- DKL, Hellman’s etc etc anyone?!). Anyway, point being this was all when she was still sitting on a couple of grand’s worth of ‘Burberry investment’ to sell in lean times.
It’s an assumption, but she may well even still be sitting on that ‘lean times Burberry investment’, including when she was boiling soap in July 2022. And going a little too far with the rattling and begging… Never kind Jack, you can always sell the investments!
Oh she really should. It would be hilarious albeit not in the way Jack imagines.And she's something JM will never be; naturally funny & interesting. Monroe has mentioned before that some people told her she should do stand-up comedy. No, she really shouldn't.
JM has gifted us with a character sketch of a Poor in their native environment. Jack is a treasure. And a shitty writer who has no real understanding or empathy for the characters she creates. Trite, cliched.Yet again it reads more like something Jack would look at someone else and think, rather than something someone said to her. See also, “should have kept your legs closed”. She gives herself away so very often.
Here’s a charming (bullshit, fictional) moment in a pub beer garden among the great unwashed that Jack felt the need to share. Again, very transparently her true viewpoint and attitude is on display without her even realizing it. Thanks to @HotesTilaire for the screenie- and I’d really recommend going and reading about this in the thread too, as there’s more detail (including her obnoxious follow up comments) there.

This is perfectly stated. Jack doesn't know HOW to help. All she knows how to do is center herself in every situation, to seek attention and admiration.It’s infuriating because it’s such a dick move. There was no reason she couldn’t have had the simple story: I got myself in trouble, had a bad patch, now I want to help other people who find themselves in that horrible situation. But she just couldn’t do it. It’s all about her, so her “experiences” had to get worse and worse. Instead of focusing on growing a brilliant career, it’s all about the Jack Monroe Misery Porn.
To be fair she might fit into the current stand up trend which is just spouting boring recycled hot takes about the tories while your audience agrees with you.And she's something JM will never be; naturally funny & interesting. Monroe has mentioned before that some people told her she should do stand-up comedy. No, she really shouldn't.
