Jack Monroe #441 Congratulations on dispatching items you sold

[here we go again]

The twitter poll is even less spicy than elon musk asking if he should be CEO of twitter. Can only imagine that was the inspiration.

I don't think Jack's a romantic. A hoarder, yes.

Not really great damage control is it.

Do we have screenshots of Big Dave's rent increases?

Sorry to correct you, but he is a Marxist-leninist, so he only charges a peppercorn rent of one pound per annum. Discounted to 50p if you have a poster of che guevera and a subscription to the morning star.

I wonder if this is a thrifty gift tip from the new book

I don't think that Grocer tweet is in any way cruel etc. A poll is a typical device for a SM account to increase engagement, they're acknowledging she's a controversial figure that's all. That in itself is good, it means (some) media is picking up on the rumbling of the grift.

I RENTED a house once - working away from home. My husband stayed at weekends and holidays and I travelled back home when I could... LL insisted he be added to the tenancy as he referenced some strange legal thing about how my husband might claim to be resident there?! I'm sure someone will know more, but I think it's a fairly standard tenancy clause.

P.S did she buy that cooker from brighthouse? Sheesh!

If the landlord served her with a section 21, I think that gives you 2 months to get gone.

And return the interior to its original state....

It’s really bizarre they’re a well regarded industry institution and it seems bizarre. Why run a poll giving the option to vote “no” after giving the award?

Some 'insignificant little minion' (in her mind) at the last thing she bothered to turn up to just happened to be in charge of the entire social media account? Somebody who had stuff thrown at them by JM a few jobs back? Somebody's kid happened to be doing an internship at the festival where Jay Rayner decided to have his comments removed from all future JM offerings?

Is Sandi well again now?

Ok so the misguided poll links to the blog article. My reading of the blog article is that it’s praising Jack, without overstating her role in the ONS or Asda’s essentials. duck. This was posted at 8pm at night. They thought it was a shoe-in. What if they don’t check twitter until tomorrow?

I didn’t realise Sandi was poorly Sarah Beeny is poorly (nips off to google) edited to add home for Christmas

I can smell this photo.
A honking blend of peach and chickpea curry with a hint of mackerel crumble

It looks like a serial killer’s larder.

Nice one Jack. Leading your kid around the shops like a packhorse to carry your tit and stealing the joy of Christmas away from him at the same time. He'll be a teenager soon and that magic will diminish. She ruins everything, the narc shithouse.

I dislike her holier than thou not like other girls schtick. Like women/mothers/partners are the ones creating Christmas magic and it takes weeks because that’s how long the bleeping season is? You’re not better than us you just don’t have the friends and family to warrant doing what we do. I’m also not taking smug gaffawing (sp?) over being soOo anti consumerist from someone that’s spent a one bed flat’s worth of cash on rit?

Her anti-consumer, anti-capitalism tit gets old so fast. And I agree, it's easier to do Christmas shopping when you have alienated everyone around you. As for her pride in last-minute gift buying, if I waited til the last minute I wouldn't be able to afford gifts for all the people I exchange presents with. Planning ahead lets me find stuff that a person needs, will like, suits them to a tee, and I can pay for items as I buy them rather than laying out a bunch of cash at once.

Besides, I like thinking about what my friends would like throughout the year--not just between December 21-23. Just like I enjoy baking for friends, too. This is a dark, dank time of year where I live and so the pagan bits of Christmas--lights, booze, food, presents--really can lift people up.

Last minute shopping for me = racing around Walgreens throwing Whitman's Samplers and leftover Totes slipper socks into a cart. Some people love slipper socks. Smug witch. Not you heretoreaditall, Jack dear.

That's the most irritating bit, isn't it? That the effort other people put into their festive preparations is all "frippery", that only Jack knows how to make things uncomplicated and returning Christmas to its real meaning. Truly, she's like John the Baptist: she prepareth the way of the Lord by eating locusts and honey, and buying everyone identical pairs of bamboo socks from Boots.

Because nothing says "anti-consumerism" like buying people gifts they don't want or need. Or Christian charity. Or Jesus--he wasn't big on his disciples being all smug about their righteousness, was he?
