Jack Monroe #452 Pulped Fiction

[SharkAttack]

Morning ninnies - working from home today thanks to a: it being Friday and b: my youngest puking up what looked like a Jack recipe at about 4am

Will get some photos of GK a bit later on, but to kick start your day, there's a fresh article ripping the pics out of her, and I swear the author must be a StealthFrau™️ as there's 5 or 6 ready made, brilliant thread titles in there like "Our own modern-day Ma Ingalls":

Jack Monroe: The acceptable face of poverty

Frugality has been turned into a middle-class virtue

unherd.com

Kathleen Stock is a proper hero of mine.

Lads I am whole thread behind but I am calling this as the best chaos of all time.

We knew the book was going to be tit - but I think even the most pessimistic fraus were not expecting the publishers to have to basically disown the book on the day of release.

 

[ClaretFairy]

Annoys me no end how she thinks revealing herself to be disorganised, unprofessional, selfish, lazy and all round terrible at her job is somehow an adorable quirk.

It also annoys me that she could make such a difference, she's got a decent following and she goes on other media. If she actually did campaign, actually share tips, actually did support food banks and yet does nothing other than moan about people calling her out in genuine issues. Moans about bullying yet is a bully herself.

She could still turn it around and do all of this if she was honest, but she won't and prefers to waste her platform.

 

[BurgerLaBill]

Oof, that Kathleen Stock essay is brutal lol.

 

[Laserface]

Has this review been clocked by fraus yet

@Marmalade Atkins there's one right here, mind your fingers!

She's got a drawer full of can openers

If you've been promised a delicious home cooked meal in the last 24 hours by your other half... perhaps it's time for a quick chat

She left for work suspiciously early this morning after I tried to tell her about the PM and TM updates.

Dont hold back kathleen. Blimey. Well at least she is honest and to the point.

I said on here a few months ago that Jack would be the perfect subject for a Netflix documentary and LJC it really is going that way.
I see it as a cross between Fyre and Wild Wild Country (she as a sort of thrift Bhagwan). Maybe some of us frauen can appear in silhouette with those weird mangled voices saying we had her number early on but no one listened to us?

Thrift Bhagwan

Ok. You can’t just throw these photos in on a Friday morning and expect them not to be dissected (again ).

1. why is the horrid, dirty, wooden spatula got 33 on it? Are we to assume she has 33 spatulas?

2. is the murder “icel” cleaver from an award?

3. what’s the red slider thing?

4. the pink plastic thing in the DM, is that a straw?

5. she has a curved blade? How many murder implements does she own? Is this why she is obsessed with opening tins dangerously?

6. finally and obviously we have covered this before, WHY TF WOULD YOU PUT COOKING STUFF IN SHOES?

ETA- sorry. I just can’t stop. Even if you are fastidious about cleaning yourfeet and wear clean socks all the time and have new shoes all the time (which we know is not the case with Jack), you just wouldn’t put anything that you cook with near your shoes would you? I cannot get over this. I feel sick. I know the holey crumpets were bad (holes can really affect people- I did warning slides before showing holes on phobia lessons) but really, this is just bleeping foul.

bleeping hell, as my ma would say, that review “didnae miss and hit the wa’” did it

my favourite bit:

But the "unintentional scamming" thing is a nonsense. Jack does come across as disorganised and scatty, but that's all part of her persona. She knows exactly what's she's doing and how to play it. The scam is very much intentional.

And this speaks volumes about her too (and I’m sure we’ve said this before) - how much in monetary terms is in that drawer? Knives by global, icel. Loads of cash spunked on them and yet look. All thrown in a drawer, bashing against each other, dulling them and they’re all also stinking dirty. She respects nothing because she’s never really had it hard. And it pisses me off. Sorry.

She took out the home spa tip - table salt and orange peel

I'm sad that twitter didn't get to see the baking trays in your bed tip. There would have been much mirth .

A comparison between The Batch Lady budget book also released yesterday, and TK. Jack can blame poor reviews on trolls, but trolls don't have anything to do with preorders. Speaks for itself.

If she sees nothing wrong with storing knives like this, perhaps that explains why she sees nothing wrong with suggesting people use a knife and a hammer to open a tin. She just has no sense. These are all sharp (or they should be, if you look after them properly). You shouldn't store your kitchen knives in such a way that an unwary plunge of your hand into the drawer results in cut fingers. A lot of them are also expensive (I can see two Global brand, they're a couple of £100 each) and storing them like this will damage them.

The red knife on the left, next to one of the Globals is a stanley type for DIY. Two three things

1. it should be in your toolbox, not your kitchen drawer, you skanky mare
2. the black slider is for retracting the blade into the handle so you don't bleeping cut yourself on it.
3. She's so bleeping stupid and careless

Genuinely would not expect to see this kind of shot outside of a true crime context.

She’s up. She’s seen the unherd piece. She’s now commenting to squigs about the book price. I’ll leave that to another post.

I've wanted a Global knife for ages, but they're so expensive. Makes me sad to see them just chucked in a drawer like that. She's gross and doesn't deserve nice things.
