FTFY dear heart. She didn’t vote.
So, reading through the thread, a few pages back was a JM quote from the Twatter where she quoted a statistic of "82% of women in public political life report being severely psychologically affected by online abuse" (apols, am techno-unable to find the actual screenshot) now whilst I don't question whether the statistic is factual correct or not, I wondered who the source was so I had a chat with my friend Mr Google. I didn't find it, but I did find a site which had some very interesting quotes on......some of them seem to be popping up on Ms Munwoes tweetings.

I got to point #2 regarding stab vests and then by point #3 I had a sneaking suspicion I had read something similar in a Munwoe tweet recently....
Am I imagining it?
Still haven't found the source for 82% but will keep looking.
ETA found it here:
The impact of online gender-based violence on women in public life - World Wide Web Foundation
Women and girls are experiencing a surge of violence and abuse online — a shadow pandemic spreading alongside the Covid-19 crisis. As the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, tech companies must urgently take steps to address abuse on their platforms...

I hope she doesn't mean her yellow sticker recipes, what to do with a freezer full of gifted fish, and priced by the penny general bollocks. But agree, what else is there? Not the Quarterhack? It has just occurred to me that apart from being a made up word, it is vaguely reminiscent of Quarterback. One for the American Moms?But…what about all the good she’s done?

What other “means to survive” has she devoted her working life to?!and what “working life” for that matter?!
I hope Boobra and Peta are feeling suitably chastised now Jack's dedication has been read by all 13 purchasers of Grifty Kitchen
Bit of a usual suspect but a fair point well made. I just worry that Jack is going to see all this negativity and not do the blog.

A bit of a mither cos I may be being stupid here but, if you're going to eat the veg peelings anyway, why peel the veg in the first place? Why not just scrub them and eat them unpeeled? Thats what I do. Why bother saving up nearly half a kilo of peelings? How manyApologies dear Fraus but I cannot post links properly 🥹 but have this anyway to read with your Thursday morning slow cooker tea...
Jack Monroe’s new cookbook is certainly thrifty... but not very nifty
‘Thrifty Kitchen’ is all about budget-friendly recipes, so how does it stack up in real life? Lauren Taylor, Claire Spreadbury and Prudence Wade give it a run for its moneywww.independent.co.uk
do you need to make half a kilo of peelings? I just can't make sense of it?
I was wondering about that in relation to quarterhack, too. I mean, she seems to be so gleefully proud of the name, it's as if she thinks she's come up with the world's cleverest metaphor.
But this is the definition of quarterback, according to wikitionary:
How does that relate to shopping? Or to thriftiness? Or to Jack?
Is it some sort of convoluted attempt to link "offensive back" to her being so smol and ouchy and crumbly? I doubt it... aren't quarterbacks usually huge?
Sadly I agree. We won't be seeing that blog
Unless Nigella relents and tweets something like 'This is SUCH an important conversation. Only a maverick like Jack could tackle this so fearlessly. Please, please take the time to read and digest this thread I beg of you'.
But it really looks like Nigella has finally cut Jack adrift.
That must sting.
FRIDGE PLUGGED IN KLAXON 
Still despite overflowing with such bounty and gratitude, she still can’t help also shoehorning suicide attempts into this post though.
I actually just was doing a really perfunctory search of her blog and there are AT LEAST 15 different posts where she references multiple (by differing means) suicide attempts/suicidal ideation/suicide.
In contrast, despite saying in her new book there are “a handful” of recipes if you search thermos flask (actual number 0 unless you count “freshly boiled hot water”) and for it supposedly being a cheap recipe blog, there are a mere 7 recipes tagged “lunch”. The first of these is salad bag pesto though, so that “mere 7” is probably a positive.
Indeed, the biggest focus of Bootstrap Cook’s free cheap recipe blog (with tip jar)?
Yes and where do you store them until you’ve got enough to make your slop? Do you just empty your food waste bin out when it’s full? (Jack, DO NOT steal my idea!

Is the chicken still in it though...?

Ninnies, I am applying for jobs and you are providing great relief in the laugh stakes. She might be a narc, but you are spinning comedy gold from it. Thankspaceyou.
I wonder if Nigella's blocked her number nowSadly I agree. We won't be seeing that blog

She'll never let Jack draw her garden now.I wonder if Nigella's blocked her number now
Jack, keep Jacinda's name out of your mouth!

Despite her FORENSICALLY split 50/50 UK/US audience, I sadly haven’t seen it in s single shopThis is so unfair! There's not even a spot for it in my tescoI'm starting to think I'll never be able to stand there laughing at it irl
(or “store” as y’all’s Transatlantic Cousins like to call them) in these here parts.Seems wrong, cruel almost, to deprive half her fan base of the opportunity to maim themselves and eat laboriously prepared unoriginal slop just because there’s a big SEA between us.
Unless…when she said her audience was 50/50 US and UK and that’s why she’d used BIPOC re poverty “In the UK” she was LYING??
