Jack Monroe #424 She’s as Greek as Prince William

Has this been seen before?

Diary Blog, 30 September 2022, including an assessment of “Jack Monroe”, aka the “Bootstrap Cook”

Morning music [Volegov, Morning at St. Remy de Provence] On this day a year ago “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”: an assessment I have blogged (briefly) previously a few …

I wish he hadn’t used the word « mulatta » to describe Meghan Markle; it’s a horrible word to use.
But the rest of it seems if anything generous to Jack, like he’s only just beginning to see the grift, the slop, the lies and the charity fraud.

Was in Poundland earlier with my 5 year old, getting him yet more paints and brushes.

Saw this on the book section for £3!! Fair play to whatever publisher is pulling the rug from under Jack Monroe's feet by putting a low cost cooking book in a low cost shop at a low price. bleeping brilliant.

Molly could do it via Amazon self publish.......

I found that in a puddle charity shop a few years ago. Nothing ground breaking, but some nice recipes that have broad appeal. Although - and this may shock the Matt fans - there is a recipe for a flavoured rice dish which involves a cup a soup mix! I know Jack has done this, trying to claim originality, but this book did it before her

I feel like pre WARNED Jack would have been in the 'blue ticks changing their name to Elon Musk and mocking him with tweets before quickly reverting their names like cowards' club.

Realistically if twitter went tits up I think it would have a positive effect on society. No more would ‘journalists’ be taking things off there and basing their news as actual reality.

Is Jack still on the school run?

 

[witchofwestbyfleet]

Oh mercy, Jack's autobiography is coming out next year?

A Girl Called Slop: Chapter 1
I grew up in a shoe box in Southend, my family an exotic blend of Cypriot, Scots, Norn Irish, and Pitsea. Lest you think that sounds a bit white, I remind you that one of the waifs we graciously gave an extra bit of room at the table for 15 years is Black. This absolves me of all racial insensitivity forever. My grandfather was a penniless immigrant who came to the UK with nothing but the clothes on his back and a lunchbox full of homemade dolmades. He remained penniless until his untimely death at the age of 75. My mother was also a poor immigrant, and my dad was a firefighter. I've seen a lot of bleeping fires.

Is Jack still on the school run?

Maybe she’s nipped in to see her friends in the ICU.

He's not showing any Twitter activity since August. I think he's BUSY.

He's back filming in the Caribbean, I think he's done a couple of instas but a bit busy with actual work to fanny about on the hellsite. Won't he have a lovely catch up when he gets home!

Yes, absolutely.

I bet that's quite nice, as long as you don't rinse the hoops first. All that lovely tomato sauce falling into the crumpet holes - yum.

 

[Mr Krabs]

Maybe she’s nipped in to see her friends in the ICU.

She’s serenading them with a quivery version of Shakespear Sister’s Stay as we speak. One of the other patients woke up just so they could unplug themselves.

You remembered Pitsea

Chapter Two

When I was eleven I started at a girls grammar school, which daddy drove me to in his pink Mercedes Range Rover discovery, white van, fire engine. I was of course cleverer that 99.364 and three twelfths of Essex, and not like other girls, so had no chums except Rachel from Friends who I chained myself to for cold hard cash charity until she escaped. All my teachers hated me, said they’d take me down a peg or two, and that I’d amount to nothing and Borbora said I might be able to flip burgers if I kept my legs together (Which is actually slander, considering my labial disabilities. WARNED) Then one of them stalked me until I moved house 34 times.

Anyway, despite being utterly brilliant and starring in all the school plays while being cripplingly reclusive, I only managed four point 1.8 and a half o’levels and was expelled because everyone was jealous of me.

"A girl called slop" as the next thread title please.

 

[HoopLaa]

Cannot forget the online cooking contest for kids at home to make the "Sticky Brown Poo" that got 1 (ONE) entry. Don't know if it was funded by some charity in Bristol, Aardman or Netflix or a combo of the three but it was a bleeping shocker. Pudding also contained nuts so allergy kids ruled out straight away.


Plus it was called a poo.

Thats gross. Inexcusable poor parenting. Especially cos there was another kid he was supposed to rub along with. It should take years of a stable relationship to get to that point of blending families. A revolving door of mums new partners to get used to is a red flag for emotional wellbeing and safeguarding

Coming from the past, so we may have moved on, but I was disturbed by this too.

So he had an aversion to using cutlery which winds Leggy up...but what struck me is that he tried to use cutlery when they went out (so either doesn't have an aversion or was conscious of it and making an effort!) Then they all laugh at him because you're not supposed to eat THIS with cutlery!

Horrible.

 

[ScamSandwich]

We laugh, but I do think this is really what happened!

Babe, same x

 

[HotesTilaire]

Yeah, I wonder too.....what exactly about spending a whole weekend with just Jack for company and then her going solo to Scotland, where she was going to wear a bedsheet to an award ceremony, got her dumped?

W.F.K

when she remembered she’s supposed to have arthritis in her shoulder on the train home. Having been to Netherlands, Scotland then is in UNBEARABLE PAIN pulling into Euston and asking ppl for a sling or shoulder brace ffs

"Twitters main character" duck off Jack The ego on her!

I think she lives in The Medium Place

Luckily I'm a seasoned Frau and know not to drink tea whilst reading this thread otherwise 'labial disabilities' would have had Coles' English Breakfast all over my freshly-laundered tablecloth. Je suis mort.

But apparently she’s never added up her shopping as she’s gone round which must be peak ‘god I’m bloody skint’ territory.

Or done the 'supermarket walk of shame' where you have to return items you can't afford.

She used that "anecdote" to garner sympathy for her alcoholism. I don't believe it myself, I think she co-opted an experience as she does with most things. If it did happen, she shouldn't have shared it at all. It's not a flex to put your child through trauma.

Completely agree. Of all JM's tales, this is the one I really hope is a lie. Imagine posting that depressing anecdote with its weirdly proud, irreverent tone and then wondering why someone's called social services.
