Re the Nigella & Jay Rayner quotes-is it good practice to recycle quotes from the past? Things change-loads of celebrities got it wrong about all sorts of people in the past (Savile for example, you’ll find loads of glowing praise for that ponce from others before his true colours became widely known). Obviously just an analogy but I’d have thought that it’s shady to recycle past statements. I only bought veganish because Nigella said it was great. It absolutely isn’t & I can’t believe she actually read any of the recipes
No it's not. I am publishing-adjacent 🔺 and I think it would totally look like you couldn't get a better, more recent and relevant quote.

I want to take part in the slop-along so ideas on a pumble please for anything you’ve wanted to see brought to horrifying life!
I might do that chicken dinner soup with stuffing ball ‘dumplings’ for my own entertainment because I think it would be Harold’s aneurysm but I also feel like putting some of her baking to the test. 🤔

I must be a bleep because I've worn my Achilles heel out where Jack is concerned. No Vimes Heels here. Actually I think it's because I've already had severe narc exposure and I don't have the patience and sympathy for it these days.

On another note, when are we doing the slop along, is it just any time this month? I was thinking I could attempt this gummy, moist concoction at the weekend as I have all the ingredients. If it looks passable I might post it to Jack's publishers as a thankyou for endorsing Jack.

“My original banana bread recipe is very very popular”

Is that because you stole it off BBC Good Food and tweaked the quantities slightly, just like so many of your other recipes, Jack?

I think the sadder thing is the stark contrast between her Instagram behaviour/posting and her Twitter persona.

Something is definitely going on with her constantly posting these insta quotes/my life is fabulous/eating a kebab/breadcrumbing whilst on Twitter she is (or at least she thinks she is) cleaning up her mistakes and promoting her tit new book.

The cynic in me looks elsewhere on Instagram for answers and potentially finds them, the person who keeps falling for her crap thinks she is not well and Instagram is a true reflection of what is going on and Twitter is her bravado.

I’ll always keeping feeling sorry for her. It’s my Achilles heel and my Achilles are fucked.
I can't help but feel sorry for her too. I'm a massive softie and her life seems so shite. Even with the grifting she obviously has no friends, and no professional credibility. She must be stopped at all costs, but what a sad little life Jack.

I wonder who they went to for new quotes. Can you imagine TD or anyone TD-adjacent getting a request like that in her inbox?

That is my absolute favourite. Makes me laugh more than Big Dave with a gold trifle!
Oh this is my absolute fave!
I laugh like a smol pixie looking at stones with eyes on whenever I see it.

Eta: Just watched it again. Amazing.
"Enjoy!" <sound of terrifying machinery cranks up>

Just to add to the recap that Jack has been on the school run for approx 48 hours now. Who knows when she will return.
I was going to suggest we send out a search party but then I realised that all we need to do is look for the nearest puddle.

On a mad grunk but jumping in with Jack's perception of class and also the real version.

Mom: I look down on him because I am upper class.
THAT MAN: I look up to Nigella because she is upper class. But I look down on Jack because she is lower class. I am middle class.
Jack: I know my place. But I don't look up to him as much as I look up to her, because he stole my cooking show and she is my dear heart.

Mom: I have plenty of money, both old family money and from my culinary empire. But I sometimes look up to him because he succeeded without all the privileges I've had in life.
That Man: I still look up to Nigella because even though I'm self-made, I am vulgar. But I am not as vulgar as Jack, so I still look down on her.
Jack: He looks down on me because I'm a heavily tattooed, transgender, single parent lesbian and third-generation immigrant with an ouchy mouth. And because I'm a smol pixie.

That Man: We all know our place, but what do we get out of it?
Mom: I get more money I don't really need, but it's nice to have.
That Man: I get Turkey Twizzlers pulled out of schools.
Jack: I get Cotswolds sideboards, Burberry scarves, Mulberry bags, and a toaster with TOASTER emblazoned on the side. Please note I still don't have a toaster.

I can’t feel sorry for her. I believe she always saw austerity chic as something she could monetise. She was just really bad at it as she wasn’t actually skint or any of the things she claimed to be so she had nothing to draw on. She’s had no obstacles to her working and building a better life as the rest of us manage with all our assorted issues and backgrounds etc. Remember she was perfectly capable of passing the tests to be a control room operator which can’t be easy. So the adhd and autism et al weren’t a problem until she needed them to be.
She aligns herself with everything from gay to bi to trans to working class to socialist to vegan and is none of those things-she’s just openly grifting people who are or who support the causes she’s appropriating. This is a person who has used the existence of food banks as way of directing a revenue stream at herself. Then there’s the issue that she’s never even tried to do any research or development to become a budget cookery expert-she clearly hates food and deeply misunderstands the fundamentals of cooking and baking. This brings me to how she speaks to others-not only her combative and rude stance to any challenge but more the utter disdain she has for her followers and her unwillingness to thank them or praise their efforts or engage in an uplifting way. I have no idea why they follow her other than her troupe of tamed neckbeards (feet pics, love myself pics and the hope of an Only Fans one day)
She is dull as ditchwater, so miserable and bitter. She should pay them to read her content it’s that bad.
And then of course-the spending. On it’s own absolutely fine although as others have said-my equivalent time spent in a now fairly comfortable double income household after having our pov times has not left me with over 100k in designer clothes and furniture and sadly my friends and relatives are too poor/stingy to cough up designer jewellery as gifts. If she was just a crazy spender unwrapping her latest treat on Insta that would be her thing. But her thing is ‘no jam mama’ and solar lights for indoors and selling your child’s favourite toy and using shampoo in the washing machine (because you’ve seen the new Bosch in John Lewis and Harold won’t replace if it’s not broken?!)
But this is other people’s money. We know people are donating to her because they align themselves with her-same way you’d lend your last fiver to your mate-that’s what she’s playing on with them. The middle class squig money she’s taking should be going directly to their local foodbank or hospice or charity of their choice. She’s been running a scam and she’s not sorry. To jump on the bandwagon of child and food poverty to create an income is disgusting. It sucks for her that she’s stuck with her personality but that’s what happens if you do no emotional growing between 13 and 34. I wish I had a morsel of pity left for her but at this point it’s too clearly all intentional.

Has Tom Parker Bowles said anything about her before?

Under the 'Review' heading Amazon has 'Jack Monroe is a true food hero. And her books are always as delectable as they are essential'.

I am going to read every carefully worded review as if it is throwing shade now.

Food Hero, that was the award she won recently, wasn't it.

Didn't Daddy have to coach her for the control room tests?

Speaking of fire.....


Light My Pumble Fire
By the Bores

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Pounds, we couldn't get much higher
Come on, money, light my pumble fire
Come on cashos, light my pumble fire

Try to set the hob on fire
The time for fire safety is through
Its time to wallow in the self pity mire
Try now we can only lose
And our plug sockets become a funeral pyre
Come on, Patreon, light my fire
Come on, Paypal, light my fire
Try to set the manky wallpaper on fire, yeah
The time for common sense is through
No time to wallow in the poo mire
Try now Squatty Potty we can only lose
And our bowels offerings become a funeral pyre
Come on, donations, light my fire
Come on, Lozza, light my fire
Try to set Old Chief on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
I can't pull my traazers any higher
Come on, Teemill sales, light my fire
Come on, Paypigs, light my fire
Try to set the prune poo on fire
Try to set Iqbal's bags on fire
Try to set my accounts on fire
Try to set the charity donation paper trail on fire!!!!!!

The only decent thing for her to do would be post the Teemill sales data from the actual site we all know she isn’t decent. Can you imagine the therapy her accountant will need just dealing with her accounts?
