Well she can't sell a holiday to raise cash during lean times, can she? She needs the Burberry coats to pay for bread and jam for SB some day in the future when even the solar lamps are too expensive to run. She's planning ahead because she was poor for so long with no carpets and no fridge. She can sell them on one of the high-end resale websites and then crawl arthritically to the Post Office with them, wrapped for transit in a plastic bag scavenged from a bin, and the postage cost will be paid for by the person at the counter, tears in their eyes as they admire her bravery and tragic life circumstances. Peering down at her shivering 3 ft 4 inch frame (so smol, so fragile) and saying in a choked voice "It's okay, petal, I'll deal with this now. You've done enough for us all with your tireless work to save the poor. Even the ones who wear tracksuits, although we both know they don't deserve the attention of the likes of you, saint that you are. Yes, I know you, Jack Monroe from the TV and the Guardian. I knew you as soon as you walked into my Post Office, because you look exactly like the photo I have of you at home, next to the one of my dear old mum (God rest her). Rest easy tonight on your lumpy sofa, for I shall be praying for you on my knees and God is sure to reward you by crossing your path with a puddle full of Viv, all in your (very smol) size. Thank you for everything." And then everyone in the Post Office will clap. Even the man with only one hand.All those expensive designer goods. But has never taken SB on a decent holiday…
Oh fucks SAKE why you gotta make it even worse?!For me, it's the extension cable hanging down by the microwave with 5 or 6 plugs in it..
Simon Community Scotland appear to run 10 shelters, so maybe that's what she was basing her initial donation on? (there are more in NI, but the Street Reads scheme is associated with the Scottish organisation).I think I'm missing something here - no home means no cooker, and if you're cooking in the hostel in their kitchen to learn how then they can just lend you the cookbook that you need, right? How many copies of a cookbook will one hostel need? So is more than one place it's happening and I'm just confused? I can't imagine anyone, homeless or not, sitting down and just reading a cookbook and that alone teaches them to cook. Do ten copies mean ten people are going to sit and memorise the recipes for when they can finally cook in their own home, and then pass them on to the next ten? Or is it maybe that this cookbook is the greatest work of literature ever and so everyone is keen to read it so they'll need at least 500 copies to stop fights breaking out over slop recipes?
Sorry if what's actually happening here is obvious to everyone else, I just don't get it at all.
BIB this from WCBG is my early nomination for thread title right there. Earned a proper laugh that didHow can she spend so much time pissing about with everything merely to confirm to everyone that she’s an utter twat? It’s impressive.
Yes, I thought she was an expert on fire safety? Overloading an extension lead like that is surely a hazard?For me, it's the extension cable hanging down by the microwave with 5 or 6 plugs in it..
ARSE & FEET ON THE KITCHEN WORKTOPS AGAIN!For me, it has to be the fake black eye. Bizarre attention seeking behaviour from a woman in her 30s.
Shortly followed by this time -

Yes but in 2016 when Jack set up the store the Simon Community were not involved. It was just Rachel Cowan carting her trestle table of books around various homelessness projects, mostly meal distribution.Simon Community Scotland appear to run 10 shelters, so maybe that's what she was basing her initial donation on? (there are more in NI, but the Street Reads scheme is associated with the Scottish organisation).
Since 2016, she's been encouraging people to spend £10.99 on one of her online shops to donate further copies of AGCJ to Street Reads. No evidence or updates have ever been provided about how much money she's collected, or what's been done with it. This may be my aneurysm.
He's a friend of mine 🔺️It's aimed at Supertanskiiiiiiiiii, they had a bit of a spat earlier on, but could easily apply to any number of Twitter grifters (inc Rachael Swindon and the Shoeburyness Swindler)Yo ninnies! Just spotted a writer on Twitter with over 11.K followers and a blue tick has tweeted a few times about our heroine. Can't screenshot as apparently technology hates me at the moment.
He says: "Interestingly, monetising your dislike of the Tories seems to me to be a very Tory thing to do." and a few other things. Conversation is definitely about JM. Getting a fair few likes. Seems to have been drawn into it over some argy-bargy with that Supertanthingy?? Or something to do with that Russ lad. Can't quite follow.
It’s not that one. THAT BLOODY LAMP is the one in “SBs” room shaped like leaves/long grass….!!Evening Canal,
Long time lurker, now turned stocktaker. I've found THAT BLOODY LAMP.
It'd be even worse if the fridge was plugged in too.Maybe she can unplug a couple of them as she rolls past the kitchen next time she has one of her frequent falls down the bungalow stairs.
And the toaster she doesn't have, the one that was in full view and even had the word TOASTER written on it.It'd be even worse if the fridge was plugged in too.
Well aren't I a ninnyIt’s not that one. THAT BLOODY LAMP is the one in “SBs” room shaped like leaves/long grass….!!
To be fair, all her lamps are horrible.It’s not that one. THAT BLOODY LAMP is the one in “SBs” room shaped like leaves/long grass….!!
