Jack Monroe #445 A criminal, liar, fraud, grifter and all round heartless asshole

[LennyBriscoe]

Rest in peace Vivienne Westwood…I hope her life was what she would have wanted

 

[Mrs Peel]

RIP Viv.

Don't say a bleeping word Jack. Not a word.

I am currently at this bit of detective work by a squig. The Mumsnet Madness account (63k followers) tweeted out this mystery and a squig has pointed the finger of suspicion at our smol friend.

[ishant]

Ugh I’m actually gutted. I really hope Jack stays away. RIP Viv. This quote made me sob.

 

[Vanelope]

OMG
dare I say I ran here

RIP Viv (really this time)

 

[Saltfish84]

I met Viv (RIP for real) in California many years back. She was dressed like a clown-doll and had a small white dog with her, that had been sprayed pink.

She was perfectly pleasant, if not a bit crackerjack.

 

[whereforartthoupumble]

Oh no, not Viv. RIP a trailblazer.

Edit: OMG while I was twatting about collating photos, RIP Viv (RIP) Countdown to Jack making it all about her in 3, 2, 1… (ie when she finally comes up with a hot take and manages to curate a cacophony of her many, many puddle/thrift store Vivs for a perfornative pic- so in about 2-5 days time)

Was it the 'Year in 120 Recipes' Jack that penned the Come to Bed Carbonara and duck me Fish Sauce? If so, I pick that one. It still haunts me.

ETA I nearly dropped my knitting, just realised you said the best but I'd read it as the worst. I'll stand by my choice

 

[Mrs Peel]

Right now she's probably rifling through her boxes trying to find every Viv piece she has so she can display her grief (via clothing and bleeping filters) on twitter.

Don't, Jack. She could spot a fraud a mile off.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Tender ones, I fear I am beyond the help of even four therapists on speed dial. Tonight, I made the banana peel pancakes & there is insufficient mind bleach to unsee the things I witnessed tonight in my own little sanctuary I have previously called home. Even the squabbling cats are too traumatised to keep up their feline warfare.

Spoiler alert; I made this exactly as per the recipe until the very end when I got a bit agitated by what was going on in my own kitchen… Also, I have no idea how to do the spoiler alert stuff so apologies for dragging unsuspecting victims to join my complete mental breakdown & very recent serious concussion (as in last hour from banging head against a convenient wall as the gloop gradually turned beige & even more unappetising)

1) Recipe

2) Finely sliced bananas (with skin as she only retrospectively informs the reader to finely chop the skin separately

3) Pop banana slices in a bowl with the milk & oil

4) Beat well with the tines (prongs) of a fork. Not entirely sure how you would beat it with anything else, like the handle, but I’m just a simpleton in the kitchen c/w our Jackie

5) Oh, I was meant to realise I should have peeled the bananas first Oh well, lucky I’ve got one of them bullet gadgets that you so helpfully suggest after I’ve mashed banana peel until my crumbly wrists disintegrated. I digress

6) Add flour & beat well to combine to a thick smooth batten (stet)

Omg - you’ve made her some down pipe for the forever home bedroom!

ps what made it that shade of grey?

 

[Valiofthedolls]

Can't see a mallet in her tool belt

Well, my dear beans, that is because while said tool belt book was published in August 2018, unfortunately Jack didn’t come up with that particular fabricated embellishment of THE POVERTY until December 2018.

Sadly, therefore it was made up too late (CONFIRMED) to make the cover.

 

[BlendedSlop]

RIP Viv.

Jack's going to post that sideboard modelling shot again isn't she.

 

[Nurseali]

RIP. So glad she was with her family when she died.
Jack you absolute cock. Whatever you are thinking of doing ..don't. put the tartan away and sit on your dirty hands.

 

[Phillipa78]

The only caveat is we don’t know whether the requirements are the same now as when she’s talking about. They could have tightened or relaxed and unless a knowledgeable Frau was doing something similar to her at the same time, it’s hard to say.

As a forces adjacent Frau I can confirm that RAF officer entry has been 2 x A-levels since before 2000. Can't be certain of GCSE requirements for airman, but I think it used to be 5. And I don't believe they would round up from 4 1/2 - they are very stern and measure people's arms A LOT.

Don't, Jack. She could spot a fraud a mile off.

Viv would have had no time for Jack's histrionics at all.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

The Tin Can Crook cover is really annoying. Not only does she look smug, but you can tell the flying tin can has been photoshopped on above her motionless hand. Badly.

When she did the cover reveal, Jack tweeted to say the tin can was really there, WHEN YOU'VE QUITE FINISHED.

(2019, not prepared to dig that receipt out)

 

[Bugger13]

After drinking the €2 a litre Black Tower obviously......

I’m personally shocked at Jack talking about bottles with corks in. Surely this is unnecessary trauma for people in recovery who can’t even walk past booze in supermarkets? (Sorry if already said, been to the pub and catching up)

 

[ChocolateMuffin]

Ugh I’m actually gutted. I really hope Jack stays away. RIP Viv. This quote made me sob.

Different definition of activism as Jack portrays isn't it?
Tbf I have no idea about the late great Dame Viv apart from that I met her once and that she designed punk clothes that filtered through to mainstream.
She looks to have set up various organisations and done good things.
If Jack dropped dead tomorrow (no, I'm not wishing you dead, Jack)...She'd look like she had too
