Jack Monroe #441 Congratulations on dispatching items you sold

[Cucumberthunder]

All mention of Jack and her award is gone from the Grocers Twitter.

The poll is still there for me?

 

[Whaa?]

The poll is still there for me?

Says deleted by the tweet author for me, and that is when I click on some of the responses there have been to it.

Disappeared now. Must've been a cache chaos. Apologies all!

The thing is she could keep her private life private. She claims she tells these ancedtess becasue people need to hear them. They don't! How many squigs in recent times have actually told her she doesn't have to say anything. That is them politely telling her to stop oversharing. That twitter page should only have her slop and directions and advice to the nearest and most helpful advice and support out there. She doesnt need to be known outside of this. For two reason the first is what's happening to her now and the other to protect her family.

Shes desperate to be interesting.

 

[Wooh]

Yup. And any that she recognises as pals in the comments club, who will be more inclined to post photos of their rewards in her defence. I kinda want to see them actually, 2 years worth of her crappy, cobbled together postcards. She's probably sent them any old crap she could find on her computer .

Childish, I know but it gave me a cheeky chuckle in sea of "thanks for all that you do".

Did they get visit from the 3 ghosts of slop and have now mended their ways.

Imagine looking out your window and seeing Jack Monroe standing there with her shopping trolley and pigskin hat on waiting on her food shop though. Aren't those time slots a good hour each way? Fux sake

Well she's so busy working she had just the one day she could possibly do any Christmas shopping. Not sure how she's suddenly got time to yomp, wait, and yomp back.

This could be my Christmas aneurism. All children are vulnerable, by virtue of being, you know, children. Show me an invulnerable child. Jack has very detached, dismissive air towards her son, except when it comes to an opportunity to use him as a human shield. Why would you have a vulnerable child run your twitter account? Or share his personal medical and mental health information with your 500,00 twitter followers for dopamine hits?

I was feeling a little bad for enjoying the poll results when it was showing 86% voted no, but then I saw this exchange in response to the "if not Jack then who?" question:

Somehow while I was screenshotting it for my own amusement my hand slipped and I ended up screenshotting this instead:

And now I'm scared to go to sleep in case this creature haunts my dreams.

It's bleeping Thatcher! *HISSS*

 

[Whaa?]

About 20 mins ago a squig put up a poll asking if Jack should have gotten an award or not, and tagging in The Grocer. I wonder if this prompted the deletion. Jack is still to wake up and notice her retweet of the poll is now featuring an empty space.
I wonder where this one will go. Delete and pretend it never happened, or will the FMs visit the new one.

What’s an un-literal child?

Jack, she's adult baby

 

[frankychester]

Jack, she's adult baby

That's giving me horrible flashbacks of Eurotrash

They were WARNED.

Perhaps myself but I live near a minor celeb. A fact I worked out because I kept seeing them walk past my house. Naturally, I then went to follow them on insta etc.

I figured they must have one of the few big houses in my surrounding roads (I don’t live anywhere flash). So that narrowed it down but it was months and months until they showed a very small bit of their house and I twigged which one it must be. But that was only ever based on seeing them walk past my house in the same direction. You’d have no hope without that info. Even when they post themselves in the local area, it’s in non descript bits.

Basically, if you want to stay private it is incredibly easy to do so.

(Also important to note I’ve done nothing with this info other than say “Hi Celeb” to myself as we drive past their house on the regular.)

 

[CatsNotPeople]

So, hang on - she ordered food WEEKS AGO assuming she'd be in a new flat by now? If she was buying, there's no guarantee you're actually getting the place until money has been exchanged so why the hell would would you take that risk and if it was rented she's said multiple times that her contact is up in February. Why has she already packed? Why is she ordering Christmas food so far in advance to host in the apparent shoebox she's moving into? WHY?

Why would anyone reading that tweet think that any adult human would turn up to someone's house to get a food shop they've actively got delivered there, instead of contacting customer services?

Jack you must be reading this, please explain why if you're going to lie you can't even make the lie make sense.

 

[Celeste90]

Jack has gone too far with the facetune this time. New wig tho.

 

[waffle maker]

Lisa from steps lives near our old house, I saw her in the supermarket the other day but I didn’t bother her.
Exactly what is Jack implying by saying SB is vulnerable?

 

[gashlycrumbtiny]

This could be my Christmas aneurism. All children are vulnerable, by virtue of being, you know, children. Show me an invulnerable child.

Or share his personal medical and mental health information with your 500,00 twitter followers for dopamine hits?

Quoting myself like a ninny to say that I'm aware that 'vulnerable child' has a very specific meaning, and if SB is being referred to as a vulnerable child by school or other authorities that's pretty concerning. That's assuming that he actually is, and not, as I suspect, that Jack is throwing that word around as leverage while being too thick to understand its potential implications. I used to work with vulnerable children and families until recently, unfortunately I had to decide to leave that field for a while as its been unrelentingly sad and grim trying to support these families when the infrastructure that should be there to support them (social services, police, housing etc) is not functioning.
What I mean is that all children have the right to privacy, to feel safe and not have their private information shared or weaponised by an irresponsible and manipulative parent. Some children have additional vulnerabilities, whether it's ACEs or additional support needs, but there is no scenario where it would be acceptable for Jack to behave like this. SB could be the most resilient, privileged child in the world and her behaviour would still be wildly inappropriate.

Quick, get her a moustache and a feather duster!

And she can wear one of her umpteen wigs to complete the outfit...
