Urgh, I hope her train gets stuck in the Severn Tunnel. Being a Cardiff work frau I am not anywhere near, thankfully! Hopefully the bad weather will blow away any lingering honk.

Why would she have been the cook if this happened before she was forced to learn to cook by the pov?Military/Military round the edges is just another one of those things she’s desperate to be/be seen as and isn’t. See also butch. I will lay odds that neither “Lynn of the pins” or Leggy fucking said that COINCIDENTALLY EXACT SAME THING to her.

Also, back on the subject of the fire service, here’s didn’t happen of the year eleventybillion+1

She’s SO full of utter fucking nonsense that it’s almost laughable.
I’m self employed and work from homeI know the grifter's business is no longer trading. However, is it possible (educate me, accounting folks) JM could have bought all that expensive shite to make her business/herself more 'tax efficient'? Forgive me, it's early. Makes you think.
Oh my god this is the first time I’ve seen this and I’m pissing myself. God bless Ruth she is so so polite. All the food looked fucking dreadful.I remember seeing this live
I'm most disturbed by the chicken dish at the end. That chicken looks grey.
Ruth and Eamonn are masters at the non reaction to slop. No natural reaction of mmmm on their faces at all. Pros.
She won’t have got the money. I imagine it would have gone to Mind (or been refunded to the people who donated if she never ran it).
To be fair to Jack, entering a marathon when (at the time) she had only run a few miles is a big deal and would have required lots from her. Lots of people give up on marathons they have entered or claim they have entered when they have easily run a few 5k or 10ks.
Patreon/remaining Teemill money is a big deal. Jack not running a marathon isn’t.
And then you have her Grandpa's 'peppercorn social housing', which appears to have been in a state of significant disrepair when it was sold on https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/11477199.check-it-out-the-hotel-with-no-staff/And if it's such terrible pay for basically an 80% chance of death, why be fool enough to do it? Same with the claim that fostering cost him £100,000 out of pocket- why do it? Can you imagine being a foster child seeing all this pony and thinking "poor old Dave has only got a 1 in 5 chance of living long enough to retire, and here am I costing him tens of thousands of pounds and doubling his Council tax when he barely earns enough to survive on and selflessly dedicates his life to me and the other feral children he cares for"?
I can see where the nonsense of 120 hours working weeks for so little remuneration that shower gel, hot water and butter are unaffordable luxuries comes from. Its genetic. If you enjoy feeling like a noble martyr because you altruistically work yourself to death for sixpence , stop whining - or alternatively get a different occupation.
They would have done. Justgiving sends the money directly to the charity and always has done.I think I'm going to enquire with justgiving/MIND to see if they received that money in 2017.
I thought if the target wasn’t reached and the person didn’t run, the money would have been refunded to the sponsors, no?They would have done. Justgiving sends the money directly to the charity and always has done.
Why does she think people find it so shocking that a 22 (?) year old has a kid that they're lining up to humiliate her about it? And if she grew up poor why would her brother say it was her fault she is poor?Probably already addressed but her spat with her brother has as many different versions as all her other stories.
Sometimes it happened at Christmas, sometimes it was at a family wedding. Sometimes he says 'it's all your fault that you're poor' and sometimes 'should've kept your legs shut'. (Please don't confuse this with the time she claims Michael Portillo told her the same thing, especially as this incident was recorded and there is proof he said no such thing. )
In all versions Jack claims she punched her brother. Although sometimes this is reported as being a slap.
Sometimes he falls over as a result of the assault and sometimes he just runs off embarrassed.
In all versions Jack ends with 'needless to say, I had the last laugh'
She was on the beg for lovely, lovely casho with some “for charidee” from her very, very earliest days of posting. Amazing FORENSIC @colouredlines deep dive here. This was in summer 2012. It’s long, long established.BIB agree but (and bearing in mind it's early) I think it helps to establish a pattern or methodology to the grifting. I really think Jack's lightbulb moment was when she raised over £1000 for one night of the sleep rough challenge, the way she wrote about it just made me think oh this is where she realised there was mega £££ to it. So run a few justgiving/gofundmes for charity and then pivot it to her own causes using platforms where there's less or (in reality) no accountability i.e. book publishing crowdfunder, "sponsoring" books for charity, tip jar/paypal slush fund, patreon, unfinished projects etc. At a certain point here's enough momentum to validate "she's done so much for others, let's do something for her" and watch the £££ roll in.
Certainly teaching you all to suck eggs here and not my intention, just trying to understand HOW she ended up in this position.

ETA and just being realistic there may never be a satisfactory resolution to the patreon/teemill issues so I don't think it's a good idea to just focus on them and disregard other smaller or currently unknown (tying into what @BurgerLaBill said) impropriety.
Music teacher meCredit where credit's due, though. Have any of YOU invented your own time signature? No? Thought not.
No. I once had to pull out of an event, sponsorship is non-refundable. I was worried sick because I'd raised over £1,000 and as soon as I realised that none of it was refundable I offered everyone refunds out of my own pocket. Fortunately nobody took me up on it.I thought if the target wasn’t reached and the person didn’t run, the money would have been refunded to the sponsors, no?
<trainspotter>Yeah, that all sounds like bollocks.</trainspotter>Ah no. She got her arse handed to her on SM after a train chaos. Boot a door off indeed. She couldn't blow her own ears off.
Jack Monroe got a public telling off for swearing at a train company
Blogger left fuming when the official account for c2c trains told her to mind her language - twice.www.google.com
I think this is crediting her too much. Like, she is literally some kind of evil genius if she raises money for charity in 2013 then thinks "oooh, time to play the long game" and just...bides her time before setting up a Patreon four years later? If she had that much foresight, she would probably have been far smarter about it.BIB agree but (and bearing in mind it's early) I think it helps to establish a pattern or methodology to the grifting.

Joshua Bonehill did time for anti Semitic harassment of Luciana Berger. Jack Monroe got a few tweets possibly from him. While Monroe likes to make herself the main character, she wasn’t. The tweets may not have even been from himView attachment 1753461
Seen this on one of the guardian threads last night (Sue Perkins). Didn’t Jack say previously someone was serving prison time for all the horrible things they done, however this says she didn’t actually report him herself.
And I’d love to know to which extent she was involved in the investigation.
I'm convinced she'll put EVERYTHING through as business expenses, kind of reminds me of how BD talked about fostering, essentially thinking it was an all-expenses paid deal.I’m self employed and work from homeI can put things like my desk and office chair through the business but not other furniture. But I don’t have a ‘portfolio ’ career like Jack does. She’d also be able to put through her kitchen equipment and I’d imagine some of the furniture for shoots. My accountant is scrupulously honest and would give me the side eye if I tried to pass more than one laptop/phone/other expensive electronics off as a business expense but she probably puts all of them through.
She shouldn’t be able to claim clothes as a business expense but it wouldn’t surprise me if she does.
I would very much like HMRC to take a very thorough look at her finances.
ETA she will also be able to claim some of her rent and utilities as business expenses.
