Jack Monroe #423 The only TV show Jack Monroe needs to be on is Crimewatch

[hoopdedoo]

Uh oh, she's starting to get snarky on the haunted bird app with those who are questioning her maths. Apparently it was OK to say the Teemill money went to multiple food banks because the TT is a network of food banks.

I'm very new here but if you don't have enough people to cover them all then I'm happy willing to volunteer for the slop-a-thon. I'm vegetarian though so it will need to be a non-bollock one.

Frauen, I subscribed today to something that, unlike Jack’s Patreon, has proved already worth the money. The Blocked and Reported primo episode about Jack is so satisfying to listen to, because here are two intelligent reporters completely outside our sphere, from the US and Canada I think, who respond to the basic facts about Jack’s contradictory claims with immediate laughter and scepticism.

If you present the stories she’s told and excuses she’s come up with to an independent observer who knows nothing about her, Nigella, the ONS, Katie Hopkins and Sainsbury’s, let alone all the minutiae — they haven’t even heard of Weetabix on this podcast — they see through it instantly. Even when they’re trying to interpret it generously, she seems like an obvious grifter.

It’s really worth a listen if you can. I’m just sorry and a little surprised that it didn’t have a greater impact.

I’ll be honest, the introduction snippet I heard really did nothing to make me want to hear more. I’m very, very neutral on the topic of gender. I’ve learnt loads on this site and come to the opinion that I’m almost opinionless on it. Anyway, even with my neutral stance, I found them to be a bit too GC to make it seem balanced. I also found the whole thing to be a bit ‘American’ for me.
I’m glad you enjoyed it though. Sorry, I didn’t mean for my comment to seem like such a critique! Did you learn anything new, or hear anything in a different context and go ‘oh my!’?

The way her profile pic covers part of the new banner it's like her subconscious is trying to tell her something

I've had an amazing canal idea. We each pick a recipe and have a month of jackslops where we cook and review them one by one.

I volunteer as tribute.

if nothing else we can prove how terrible her slopicies are. @Yel can pull them out of a hat for fairness. I don’t eat fishies tho so I can’t do any cooking in defrosted juicies.

Engagement seems low on the Thrifty Grifty Kitchen book tweet doesn't it? posted 7 hours ago & 2k likes & 20 comments doesn't seem much. I'm not too familiar with twitter but hear the 1/2 a million followers mentioned a lot so assumed a post about her actual work (not twatting on about retro ice creams etc) would get a bit more attention.
Also, slowly realising why her VBI nonsense wont die, it would seem that her followers are thick as mince & love this pointless performative tit. Comment on her 'come shop with me' pitch/not pitch:
"Maybe 1 family from each of the 4 nations to show the disparity between them?" HOW UTTERLY ENLIGHTENING THIS WOULD BE!!! (not enlightening in the slightest & also, what???)

Ah duck it, I’m up for a slop-a-long.

We see you, Jack Monroe.

She's really trying to be on her best behaviour, isn't she? I wonder how long she'll manage to keep it up...

This. Plus, like many narcissists she’s a greater imitator. Her writing style is a derivative mish mash of Caitlin Moran, Sylvia Plath, Marya Hornbacher, Elizabeth Wurtzel and maybe a bit of Marian Keyes around the edges. At a superficial read it sounds intelligent and emotionally affecting and searingly honest and all that jazz. But actually, it’s cheap imitation and emotional manipulation.

Yes. She has a wide vocabulary, but she doesn’t know what half of the words mean, so it’s counterproductive.

Just to say, I’m willing to try a recipe from the new book. If someone gets a hold of a copy, please feel free to assign me choice of vegetarian recipes and I’ll give one a try.

My dear, you inspired my canal nom de guerre after your astonishing sacrifice made in our name. I would join the slopalong in a heartbeat, had I not just now burned my kitchen to the ground out of fear. Obviously I don’t have any insurance, because that’s for the middle classes only. Mr 3TT and I are dining on fallen leaves and foraged moss which I would much rather eat than a peach and chickpea curry.

I'm up for wasting food testing recipes in the interests of science.

Refund your Patreons, that will help them spend less

Thank you for your service to slop. I, on the other hand, am investigating breatharianism.

What I want to know is, what has Moon App got to say about today?

Moon app only does pop ups on a full moon or new moon unfortunately. I wish it was daily!

have to say the pictures from Grifty kitchen look grim.The cupcakes make me very sad.

I reckon she was also a fan of misery lit as a teen, you know stuff that was popular in the late 90s like A Child Called It and Angela’s Ashes. Overwrought tales of CA and misery, many of which turned out to be vastly exaggerated or outright lies. I can well imagine little Jack devouring these types of “literature” and learning that if you want to manipulate people, you have to elevenerife them on the trauma and emotional pain scale…it also makes people too afraid to criticise you.

I’ll take one for team as long as there are no bollock sausages (degloved or not), or spam involved! x

Tip jar and Donate links still working fine though. Yeah, the two separate things you can click on to give her your cash. Both go to the PayPal. So just the shop that’s down.

So the Patreon rewards tiers with discount codes this month-ie all of them? You can’t use it BUYING more of her crap, but you CAN give her more of your cash for duck all.

@Valiofthedolls the 'artonabootstrap' bigcartel shop is down but the 'jackmonroe' and 'heatherandjack' ones are still up.
I don't think I knew about the artonabootstrap one so hadn't archived it (how many ventures did she start jeez).

I'm just sat here absolutely AGHAST at the sheer brass neck on her. Imagine thinking she could put out two statements the day before she announces that pre-ordering of her new £20 book is open, and that those statements would scrub everything so she can carry on as if nothing's happened. She's a clown, and she takes everyone else for clowns.

OIC book available for pre order today. Bit late on the old clear up love.

@Veronicaaa @Ablemabel it's been available to pre-order since 5th October which was 3 months before launch on 5th January. I was wondering when she'd start touting it on twitter.

Jack Monroe #411 More flounces than an 80s wedding dress.

Coming from behind, but I think someone has taken Jacks Twitter from her - changed the password or something so she can’t log in, because there’s no way Lightning Thumbs McNarc would be able to resist sending her thick AF FMs all over the Mocking Squigs, and that whoever’s got it deleted the...

I wonder if the book will only be released in ebook format?

Who on earth would be interested in spending actual cash on a physical copy of something written by someone who has pretty much just come out and said: "I am tit with money"

It's on Amazon as hardback or kindle but already knocked down to £9.99, ouch
I noticed that the blurb states "Jack is working on a new price index, The Vimes Boots index, to measure the cost of basic foodstuffs and inflation as it affects those on the lowest incomes." so that explains why it's copied in her twitter bio.

Sorry if any of this has been discussed already, I've been BUSY

A slopalong does sound fun, created a wiki page to organise (somehow?)

Slopalong Wiki

Surprisingly for nearly three years' of Tattle threads, the canal have not taken a forensic look across the spectrum of all of Jack's recipes / slops. We've had the odd foray into a tasting situation, but nothing consistent across all of her books and website. This is in spite of anecdotal...

I'll do anything veggie, but if the recipe calls for smart price margarine I will be an ass and replacing it with butter.

I'm up for a cook along as long as I don't get a savoury dish with tinned bloody fruit in it because that is my aneurysm.
