Jack Monroe #428 Hold me closer, tiny grifter

[Sideboard Bob]

Jack’s giant table reminds me of this.

 

[moldwarp]

Of all the absolute shit she's pulled, that was the lowest.

She deserves to be vilified for this alone.

Mmmm you say that but that’s against some pretty stiff competition including but not limited to:

1. Claiming heart attacks
2. Claiming to have suffered severe seizures
3. Shouting about body positivity whilst ana baiting in her pics
4. Many posts highly triggering to survivors of abuse
5. Claiming PTSD and getting the symptoms wrong
6. Sophie Ellis Pretzel

….to name just a few that have pissed me off the most

It would have to be in the bloody Daily Mail, wouldn't it? Still, we can't have everything in this vale of tears, can we? And I have a day off tomorrow, so I have time for a livestream chaos.

I kinda love it, Jack's been dying for the Daily Mail to be interested in her for years.

 

[Lucy Aeroplane]

Yep, there’s no way Jack is visiting any deprived areas. I think she’d be terrified to meet any actual Poors. That’s why she barely strays from her posh bit of Southend.

She doesn't need to either. All the info is online. Who the fark does she think she is, popping in to check on us povvos. Get out.

well, she could have actually done the food bank volunteering she pretended to, or used her gigantic social media platforms to raise awareness of some of the awesome community orgs doing unpaid/shoestring budget work to help local households who are genuinely in food poverty. But she didn’t, because she doesn’t actually care about the stuff she pretends to care about. It would have been so easy for her to just not be a steaming heap of shit, but she couldn’t help herself. (Or anyone else!)

there is much satisfaction in the ends tonight haha

Yeah my daughter is allowed to go and choose her books from the year 6 library. Don’t get me wrong, in reception she had to plough through all the phonics books in the right order but she just spent 3 minutes on these each evening then read her actual books after . I was the same at school too.

Me too. And I’m bang average as an adult.

I can’t imagine as an adult in my (EARLY) 30s still boasting about my primary school achievements. She’s such a fucking weirdo.

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

I might have felt sorry for Jack if she wasn't a heartless bully to every one in her life, especially her child and hadn't abused animals. Narcs can be pure evil.

 

[ChickenPorridge]

Also, I take issue with those who excuse her by saying she has 'obvious mental issues'. That never stopped anyone bringing her on national news, publishing her claptrap articles in papers, giving her book deals, doing brand collabs or inviting her to political talks as if she has the slightest clue what she's talking about.

 

[MissSL]

Jack definitely has more money than she lets on… if for no other reason (obviously we all know there’s PLENTY of other reasons!!!) then she obviously has a reasonable solicitor on tap. My assumption with the DM article is that she’s been onto said solicitor straight away screaming defamation at the top of her lungs and said solicitor has found some clause 0.1.4.5.7.9999 of the defamation handbook and the article is in dispute. She shouts liable at random twitterers so she’ll take great pleasure in doing at the DM.

Christ on a bike this woman is irritating.

On a side note, I have loved the slop thread. I wanted to make one myself but my husband rather eloquently said he would rather put his nob in a cheese grater then try one after showing him some pictures from fellow fraus. I wasn’t tackling that shit solo so I opted out.

 

[Boogs]

As I’ve not been able to keep up with the threads and there had been a lack of chaos I’d almost given up on Jack. Then I went on Twitter and saw that mainstream media have picked up on Mollys blog (let’s ignore that it’s the mail, although I think they were always the only ones that would probably pick this up)! We all that know that Molly got most of her information from here as the Fraus always bring receipts

Your own words have been used against you Jack because you can’t help but throw all your bollocks out there as you are so desperate for validation and attention. Reap what you sow.

 

[BlendedSlop]

I can't join in with this chaos in real time or I SHAN'T have a job by the end of today At least I'll have an epic grunk to look forward to.

While I wish this had come from literally any other outlet than the Mail (and I'm already nervous about whichever hideously manipulative "reveal" she'll undoubtedly whip out as a deflection tactic), this day hasn't come a moment too soon.

Her goose is well and truly cooked, unlike her mum's spuds.

 

[HotesTilaire]

NPD (if she has it) is a truly miserable place to be. I've been lucky in that my experience of narcissistic people has been brief, but they do so much damage it is hard to muster sympathy for them. Bullying is their default and the absolute enemy for them is the truth. Stating the obvious here but Jack seems totally unable to engage in therapy in any meaningful way. Always the victim, never the abuser.

The actual NPD, not just narc traits, is so destructive. You have to switch off your natural empathy, because it’s like dealing with a robot life destroying shape shifter. They can’t change, and they don’t want to.

I found an ugly as fuck new build in Shoeburyness that’s sold for move in Dec/Jan and is just her bland style. But it’s a two bed house. Not really many flats in Thorpe Bay and I don’t think she’d move far from Mrs Bucket land and into an area that’s, gasp, more affordable. So I reckon it’ll be a house.

I found this one bed

Is this the first time we're hearing about Jack's Turkish best friend?

 

[Satisfying Click]

It has been a while since we've enjoyed the incarnation of Cheerful Bullshitter Jack

 

[Ablemabel]

Damp basement seafront flat.

of course.

 

[SeeleyBooth]

Do you think they contacted Ralf Little for a comment?

 

[lifeissweet]

I wonder when someone who knows her irl will spill the beans (rinsed of course, if you want to be fancy).
I used to converse with her on facebook back when she was living with the policewoman with ferrets but she stopped answering me overnight (I was really only interested in the ferrets) but back then I couldn't understand how she managed to be on really good terms with SB's dad and yet neither he or her parents had noticed they were living in abject poverty. I tried to shrug it off as her being very good at hiding things. Now I know it was all lies.
It's an insult to the thousands of families who HAVE had to live like that because of the benefits system.
Her endless ailments always bothered me too. I used to work with a woman who used to have a new diagnosis every week. She earned the nickname Spare Rib after tripping at work and claiming she'd broken several ribs in the fall. She claimed she'd been conned out of thousands after she'd lost her cheque book in which she'd already signed all the cheques to save time (this was pre-card days).

 

[DisgruntledGoat]

One thing I find really annoying, and I wouldn't even call them 'Jack Stans', is people defending her and saying "I haven't been following this but..." or "I don't know the full details but...". Why not take a moment to familiarise yourself with WHY so many people are mad about this situation instead of defending someone you don't have the 'full details' on? Bit of a random tangent but it's just annoying

I saw the same woman I think you’re referring to complaining about “vitriol” but admitting she hasn’t been following, and honestly these people who will wade in knowing absolutely nothing are exactly the same brand of incurious moron who will comment under recipes asking if they can replace strawberry with halibut or asking if they can make grilled pineapple in a slow cooker. Looking beyond the surface doesn’t exist for such a worrying portion of the population.

 

[Penelope_Ghent]

It’s SB I feel sorry for. His mam in the Fail.

 

[Hunsgraveyard]

Maybe I'm harsh, but I don't feel remotely sorry for her, in the same way I didn't feel remotely sorry for Sarah Akwisombe when her scam came crashing down and she was cancelled. Jack Monroe put herself in the position she's now in through her own lies, misrepresentation and manipulation. So anything that happens as a consequence is all on her. She set the wheels in motion, she now needs to deal with the blowback as a result.

No sympathy whatsoever, I just hope her son is OK as he's likely to get a hard time at school for all the coverage of his (already embarrassing) mum being outed as a fraud in the media.
