Jack Monroe #437 C U Next Wednesday

[Justacatindisguise]

While it's quiet and since the M&S advent has been rubbish, I've opened up Slopbot's grotto again for your seasonal gifts. Thanks to the forensic stocktaking work there are 35 new puddle gifts this year. Please enjoy!

A rock tumbler! Thanks slopbot

Yeah I think she said it was an apprentice.

I'm sure that tattoo artists have to start somewhere, but I'd be hecking (<--JM word) nervous about letting an apprentice put permanent markings on my body.

 

[Whaa?]

I didn’t sleep well last night so could be reading this wrong & it’s probably Jackmath & Jack lies however she states that what ever she gets paid, the same or a greater amount goes towards helping poverty. Most places aren’t going to pay her a large sum & then double it & more.
so if she is saying it’s £49 but it’s helped quarter of a million people so far ….. 49 x 250000 = 12,250,000

I think the maths is different. For example Del Monte paid her ???. If it was £10,000 she is saying she made Del Monte give that much to charity. There was a donation to charity with the Del Monte campaign, I think to a breakfast club, Magic Breakfast. There were also donations of Del Monte products. If Jack did not want to broadcast these donations (doing charitable work quietly, etc.) I think the organisations themselves would have been right in there doing the publicity themselves as it would reflect well on them. Superdrug, for instance, Netflix etc.

eta - Del Monte gave £10,000 to Magic Breakfast.

Not a single like. 10 replies, all negative. I wonder if Carole is considering a career change?

Oddly enough, I can't see any replies to their post--mayhap they deleted them and then locked up? Makes you think.

But Jack ALSO has a designer handbag collection! Remember how she bought a Kate Spade with every book advance?

It boggles me the number of things she's bought as a "I just treat myself to ONE nice thing with each book advance do you want me to stop BREATHING??"

When I got my last book advance, I treated myself to 1 (ONE) Radley handbag, cost £131 in the sale. Then I split up the rest into my tax squirrel account, savings (holiday, house deposit) and current account to live on. Because I'm actually sensible with money.

And she bought the 14-seat oak dining table set with her advance. And it turns out she bought a lot of other "needed" stuff with her advance(s). So, basically she did exactly what you did except put $$$ into the tax account, savings account, and current expenses account. Sheesh.

This popped up on Twitter. It was posted by a couple of hours before she posted about poor SB bless him. It may be a coincidence but it’s very similar.

Hopefully a harsh lesson in what happens when you align with Jack Monroe - and one that'll put more & more organisations off engaging with her.

 

[RinsingHoops]

I am absolutely furious at the at the strep-A baiting. I came running here from not quite the end of the last thread. I know somebody who

Spoiler: TW

just lost their CHILD to the iGAS, their baby is one of the deaths counted on the news

FUCK OFF JACK

So sorry to hear that, how awful. Hugs to you and your friend xx

There is a program on tonight called I’m an alcholic: inside recovery, that includes an AA meeting . I’m surprised that they didn’t ask Jack to present it , what with her being such a main character in all 3 ( or is it more?) meetings she runs/attends/eats chips in

They need to make a thread about Darren macgarvey on here, total drama hound on Twitter and changes his political tune as often as Jack misses a Patreon delivery date.

Someone is having a larf

Tbf, she is good at communicating her greedy need for money.

 

[usefullyuseless]

I got the £25 enamel milk jug. Thanks for all you do, Slopbot x

 

[Snotbuster]

I'm pretty new to Tattle and don't know who this Jack Monroe is, but having spent the last few days reading these threads I just wanted to say that you lot are bloody HILARIOUS. I've snorted whilst reading on several occasions.

Remember to tip your waiter!

 

[waffle maker]

Slopbot gave me a sideboard too, thanks Slopbot!

Is she breadcrumbing some kind of fertility treatment with the multiple losses?

 

[Day3TShirt]

I think Jack was very frightened by it (and I suspect was probably told by at least one person she shouldn’t be which isn’t really fair to a kid) but I also think it got her attention. Mama H was clearly quite rattled by it and I wonder if, like the birth mark, it meant her attention was focused on Jack not the foster children for a short period.

She really seems to have the impression you only get attention/sympathy if you’re ill or if something traumatic has happened and I genuinely think that’s rooted in the fostering, which also explains her resentment towards the foster children. It’s probably not that uncommon a feeling/impression for children in that situation, but Jack is unique that she’s not grown out of it.

Chapeau. This is a fantastic summation of what’s likely going on with Jack. Explains so much. Thankspaceyou for the insight.

Sorry for causing a chaos tender one, as dear @Marmalade Atkins said, I was making a daft joke and it’s an accidentally upside down wonky AA ref key fob.

She got it after she was dumped, making a big song and dance about it because Old Harold apparently HATED her tattoos (as it seems did Louisa), so it was partially done out of SPITE to OWN them (and needless to say she had the last laugh).
View attachment 1789789Interesting that just like the people who “frequently” told her she’d “never amount to anything”, both her recent exes “frequently checked” she was “done with all that”

Also interesting that she’d been so blissfully happy with Old Harold and so very devastated that when HE LEFT he smashed her heart into minuscule pieces AND separately left her in a crater she was still banging on about at the end of July in Hungrier and Hurtier Solar Lit Soap Gunge, given that he was apparently such a big massive bigot tattoo and lesbian-clothes-hating homophobe.

Thank you and apologies for my own mini chaos there.
Although I do think it’s worth noting that she behaves in such bat shit crazy ways that my misunderstanding didn’t seem completely out of the question!

Number 2 says it all really
That CoMmUnIcAtOrS font is terrible
The whole premise is essentially "clever girl did a poo corpo PR campaign"

I'm on a grunk. But she was with OH for 6 months ? So three menses. Not three miscarriages. My mind is in a whirlpool.

No where near 6 months iirc, was closer to 6 weeks. I believe it was 3 months from makeup selfie shots to heart shattering glutteral wailing?

 

[Emmapism]

Does any else want the 'lawd have mercy' comedian on Tiktok/reels to script some stuff around a Jack recipe? I so so wish she would get on Tiktok.

'This is ready to go!'

'Ready to go in the bin'.

Like I can actually picture it. Manifesting this for 2023 please

 

[Captainmouse]

100% this. For someone who the birdsite flying monkeys claim does “sooooo much” or any anus-licking awards circle-jerk praising her “tireless campaigning”, she really does do absolutely FUCK ALL. She sells books, that’s it.

Or possibly not!

I wonder if Jack's placing coloured tissue paper over the solar lights at the shitty bungalow to create the effect of Christmas lights/decorations?

A free top tip for all grifty fans

All colours are interchangeable, don't forget
