Jack Monroe #440 Gently navigating the hinterland of plagiarism

[Nottonightbabe]

Imagine it was a thing though and you were just minding your own business at home one day when all of a sudden the peace is shattered by Jack doing a big howl 'n' claw outside your home.

She'd never come here. For starters delivery drivers with our exact address can never find us, and secondly - I can't see middle class pearl clutcher Jack mingling amongst the Gypsy caravans . She'd scamper away faster than you can say Glastonbury dance tent.

Seen a tweet this morning about Terry Hall🤍 from someone who knew him that put my JM hackles up. Showed it to my Harold (WHO’S STILL HERE) who confirmed it’s essence of narc. They really are out there as a type, aren’t they. (If you’re interested search the helbirdsite for Our Lips Are Sealed and look for the blue hair profile pic.)

I do bloody love that song....

She'd be the Specialist Specials fan ever. She probably went to a gig where they singled her out to have a set list. She didn't even need a ticket. The security recognised her and thanked her for all she does and waved her right through.

She was the inspiration for many of their songs. Even the ones written before she was born. Too Much Too Young was about Jack’s tragic teenage motherhood, while Ghost Town written about her experiences on the mean streets of Thorpe Bay. Of course, the original lyrics were “all the dog cafes have closed down” but they had to change it to clubs to add commercial appeal.

I'm glad she's quiet at the moment because I don't want her to tweet anything about Terry Hall. Not a single word.

Or (reportedly) Martin Duffy from Primal Scream & Felt too

‘A Message to you Foody’ was another one. They had to change that for obvious reasons.

i'm going to keep a bucket of water by the door, just in case.

Can't be too careful.

I'm gonna keep something silver ... a silver nail brush would send her running for the hills

Probably talking into the void, again, but clout chasers are to be ignored for very good reasons. Happens all over tattle - people repeating posts from here and it's beyond tedious. Especially when it gets into misinformation that jack is following a nobody account, when it's the other way around and has nothing to do with her.

This is about jack monroe, public figures and blue ticker journalists etc. Thanks

Probably a good idea to have some edible food to waft in her direction, I believe that has a similar effect to garlic on vampires.

Our (fox nibble free) hosepipe is right by the gate. Quick blast of that should see her off.

Thank you - this was the point I was trying to make albeit clumsily.

The image of Jack being sprayed with a hose while howlin’ and clawin’ is giving me life in these endless days of TheWorstColdEverTM.

I knew it was going to be that tweet!
and yes to keep on topic it’s exactly what Jack would say/type/snivel.

Poor Jack, I'm sure when she came up with her triangulation bollocks she imagined herself leading raids on the trolls with a police helicopter hovering overhead and barking dogs. Instead everyone is imagining a spoiled arse having a tantrum outside their house.

I saw this too and (though I don’t know who the blue hair is) my narc radar went nuts.
“You died, let’s talk about me”

people are grim

Quiet Christmas this time round for Jack, innit? She was packing up to move, then supporting a gravely ill SB (who likely just had a cold if he was there at all) then she was breadcrumbing being bereaved, then she was a smart price peaky blinder for a (nonexistent?) party.

She hasn’t talked about Christmas at all. Or the strikes. Fuel prices. Or anything in the news. She has barely promoted her book, been seen in public, she’s had no articles or been a talking head. There’s a cost of living crisis on, this should be her time, her niche, right? What does she DO? And yet the patron pounds keep rolling on in for now.

Will she keep quiet over Christmas? Will she talk about loneliness or not having a tree and no presents under the tree to squeeze a few festive £££ from generous squigs? Or will she go the other way & tweet about a lover saving her at Christmas with gifts, burgers & shagathons? All I know is, it’ll be bollocks

Good morning, darling nefarious ninnies!
The (elderly) Parental Unit arrived a week ago, and my time went woosh! Sounds like I have missed plenty... Catching up is going to be quite the job.

Wee pixie wixie
Triangulating your town
Up the path down the path in her best viv gown,
Peering through the windows, howling through the locks,
The time has come ,Ive finally found you vile flithy lot.

Our house flooded last week so we’re currently living in air bnb’s, unfortunately living in a tourist area means it’s hard to get a long term booking at this time of year cos loads of people want to come for a scenic Christmas, so we’re basically moving house every week until mid-Jan. Since I think that makes me safe from triangulation (CONFIRMED), I might start making all kinds of nefarious #TROLLCLAIMS. Ahem, did you all know Jacks the reason Neighbours got cancelled? she’s also the reason Freddo’s now cost 25p.
