Jack Monroe #466 I'm heterosexual so I'm buying a guinea pig for Gary Wilmot

[MavisBeacon]

So she never actually saw a rheumatologist? No blood tests? No ANA? No MRI? Nothing at all to back up that claim? No wonder when she lists out her coping techniques there’s no mention of medications to help, it’s all just wheat bags and ibuprofen, does she have any idea how an autoimmune disease actually works?

And, of course, if she was actually on a proper treatment (DMARD) she'd have to have regular blood tests for liver function so I'm sure we'd be hearing about that, as it's an absolute ballache. I'm on treatment for an autoimmune condition and they've stopped doing blood tests at my GP so I have to drive 45 mins to the nearest hospital every few months and pay £3 to park aaargh. So, another one for the list of #TROLLCLAIMS, Jack has never been formally diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

It’s definitely joined my two other favourites, Why you sob, Russel Hobb and Pet Cemetery in a Rucksack.

I wish someone would softly, gently ask her about the Vandalised Beans Ibex. She was so very giddy about it this time last year, getting praise from all quarters and earnestly informing us it would take the weekend to pull together. The fact that people still believe it exists, and point to it as a good thing Jack has done is an absolute travesty.

Pet Cemetery in a Rucksack was my introduction to Jack on Tattle. Still cracks me up.
BTW has anyone shared this before?

The page was already archived in March 2022 (doubtless by another Frau) but I’ve also archived today on this special anniversary to show everything that Jack has achieved in a year https://web.archive.org/web/20230121092913/https://www.vimesbootsindex.co.uk/ thanks for all you do Jack you self-aggrandising twat.

I think she must have lost the password to the page or something. The fact she can't even correct 'intdex' is beyond me.

Jesus H Christo, what possess her to say these things. I lost my mother to cancer when I was barely out of my teens myself. It was horrendous seeing someone go downhill so rapidly, six months later she was gone. I cant believe someone like Jack would piggyback on other peoples misery, but here we are

So sorry about your mum, tenderstem
I was 18 when my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. He was initially given 12-15 months but with a bunch of experimental treatment made it nearly 4 years, brutal as it was. Can't comprehend her wanting to put her son through that shit. No wonder her contact with him seems to have been cut.

 

[SmolWarrior]

Jumping ahead to post, I was at a party last night (I have friends Jack) and I missed this phenomenal chaos.

Spoiler: TW: suicide and C word

I am beyond disgusted at her breadcrumbing. Like most here I have lost friends and family to cancer. And I lost a very dear friend in 2021 to suicide. He was 33. A wonderful intellect and one of the most charismatic people I have met. Everyone loved him. And it was a complete bolt out of the blue. It’s something you never get over. I haven’t the tiniest bit of pity left for her. I don’t want her to stop breathing but I do want her to lose everything. Everything. Her son, her home, her platform, her status. I want every agony to rain down on her. She deserves every bit of it.

 

[WhyYouCry?]

She didn’t tell ‘a soul’, except her half a million Twitter followers. Multiple times.
Gah she’s hideous. Just when I think she can’t get any worse.

 

[NellieBoo]

Having worked in an acute admissions unit of a psychiatric hospital (a very long time ago!) I find the thought of Jack in any kind of group rehab/mental health setting unsettling. She's too manipulative, cunning and would revel in causing all sorts of drama and upset.

 

[DianeAbbotsMojito]

It's the ultimate shut down isn't it, the hinting at suicide. You're losing the argument big time and you've got fuck all left in your arsenal so you deploy I CAN'T DO THIS ANY MORE. We all know why she's done it but if you say it, you're basically satan. Her followers are amongst the most credulous thickos I've seen on the internet.

Surprising even for that mad bastard that she only managed 90 seconds before opening back up again so chapeau for making me lose my own bet

 

[Brian Butterfield]

I have no time for this type of behaviour to be honest, people who have active plans to unalive themselves don’t tweet it out to 700k followers in case someone stops them lol. My best friend died by suicide and none of us saw it coming, he just went and did it. Jack is just an attention seeker, she knows she has plenty of friends and family who’ll see that tweet. Sorry if that sounds unsympathetic, but it’s my opinion tbh.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a more emotionally manipulative person than Jack.

I’m so sorry about your friend

Tweets locked down after deleting a whole thread reply and now posting highly triggering and suggestive statements. She needs help. View attachment 1900504

What help would she accept though? The only thing that is going to actually help her is HER taking a long hard look at herself, learning what the fuck her actual problem is, and she could have done that at any point but chose not to. Maybe at this stage seeking to work with highly specialised therapists who ask her questions that make her feel deeply fucking uncomfortable might help - but she’s the one who would have to answer them honestly. I don’t think she’s going to do that.

She’s had soooooo many opportunities to just not be shit, and she’s chosen to be shit every time, con fuckloads of money out of strangers (yes, including very vulnerable people), and then demand pity. For a decade or so now. I’m usually v dismissive when people call someone a narc but my word she really is.

Happy birthday tenderstem, here is your pressie as requested - https://www.vimesbootsindex.co.uk/. The Vimes Boots Intdex in all its glory. Please note the uploading of Jack's media appearances and also the link to buy her books at the end. Yourewelcome

JennyNumNums - I think I speak for us all when I say you’re amazing.
We’re all navigating our way through difficult stuff at times, so I don’t mean to minimise what anyone else is going through, but you’ve honestly made everyone on this thread laugh even through such scary times. You’ve an amazing sense of humour and how you’ve kept that up through such a difficult time, health wise, is just amazing.
Chapeau hen. Chapeau.

Couldn't say it any better. Bless you JennyNumNums, we're all here for you xx

 

[FlirtyThirty]

The wonky insect is in high defence mode this morning. Can you imagine their DMs?

Jack: hep me i so smol and sad
Wonky: DONT WORRY JACK I WILL SAVE YOU!
Jack: he heh

Both as bad as each other. It would be a lesson in sycophancy I’m sure.

 

[MavisBeacon]

Why would someone want to reach out, via Jack of all people, on twitter, for an oncologist to talk to?

My experience is secondhand, but it was made very clear with my husband that support was available for all of us. The hospice even has post death services available, should they be needed for those dealing with the aftermath, including for our daughter who was 8. We chose not to avail ourselves of them, but these things are out there. You certainly do not need to seek out random people via another person to access further information on anything relating to such a thing. In fact, I doubt any oncologist would feel comfortable doing so. I would certainly feel dubious about any that were happy to do so, as it is such a confidentially issue.

Coming from the past, but it's the same thing as the post we picked apart a couple of days ago asking for AA/NA folk for "a friend". The actual channels of support are obvious and easy to find online (the AA/NA website, Cancer Research UK/Macmillan) and a much better get for securing genuine help, advice and support - tweeting requests to half a million people is for one purpose only: attention.

 

[NellieBoo]

I find her repeated threats of legal action very interesting. All the Charlie Big Balls talk - 'You are a libellous liar', 'delete this or else', 'good luck with that, pal, you'll be hearing from my lawyer' etc. It's similar to what our Dad's second wife would do to my sister and me when she wasn't getting her own way after Dad had died. Obviously we made her furious by just replying 'OK' or, 'We'll let our solicitor know to expect a letter from yours'. Or not responding AT ALL was quite funny . Just my mitherings this evening .

 

[Lucky Escape]

So the vast majority of people who wouldn't engage... aren't human?

 

[Lucky Escape]

Once you've been observing long enough, you see little specks become woven into the tapestry.

I'm presuming the ditch comment relates to that off colour 'joke' from a tasteless shitposter responding to Wonky Jed Maxwell's freezer comment.

I'd forgotten that, and you're absolutely right. It wasn't about Jack at all, the shitposter was referring to the body that Twisty Insect said she was storing in her freezer. This isn't even an exaggeration on Jack's part - it's an outright lie.

 

[GigglePops]

Not squigued cos blue tick pro, but yeah along the lines what fellow fraus have been saying about libel and money and fraud.
WARNED

Ps for context, this guy was key to the Zahawi tax avoidance
View attachment 1900218

He was threatened with legal action by Zahawi's lawyers last year when he blogged about his tax affairs. The letter said, basically, 'don't publish this' so he went ahead and published it to his timeline anyway and said bring it on. He has been Zahawi's downfall. Everything that he said or speculated about has been accurate and he was entirely vindicated, much like the dear canal was with the Guardian piece, and will be if the grief thief is ever dim enough to actually set foot in a courtroom. There is absolutely no way that she will expose herself to that level of scrutiny. Never.

 

[jenny2603]

Is there any chance of Jack going to prison for financial stuff? Suing stuff!? I'd love that! Her prison diaries would be brilliant. She already writes like Jeffrey Archer

My Dear Mr T Roll,
If you're with us tonight, can I humbly ask that your next trick is to have Jack imprisoned?
I am quite liberal in my outlook and don't really hold with jail unless it's for violent people
and sex cases. However I cannot deny that the comedy potential of Jail Jack appeals to me
greatly and I think many of us would have what the late Cilla Black often referred to as a
"lorra laughs" were she to be locked up for something.

Your humble servant

Jenny Numbers.

Yes exactly! As an NA Frau one of the first bloody things you have to do in the 12 steps (which she’s an expert on, according to her, with the amount she bangs on about it and being sober, which she clearly -allegedly- isn’t) is, in a nutshell, take accountability, put mistakes right, apologise, admit wrongdoings etc.
She won’t do it. Recovery’s not possible without it.

She’s had financial help from squigs, yet pissed it away. Help from SBs dad, yet bangs on about being a hard up single mum. Help from wealthy supportive parents, yet was poverty stricken and left to fend for herself. Help from Daddy to get a decent job, fucked it off. Help previously in rehab, many think she’s still using drugs.

Not to be cynical but really just think no matter how much help she’s ever offered, she’s always going to be a “chaos”, we all want her to STOP BREATHING and she’s always gonna be in the overdraft. Really is so far gone at this point. Sorry I’ve been emotive today lads, the C and S tweets yesterday have got to me. She’s a knob.

She's really v much like my mother. The narcisssim is so powerful that my mother would rather her children have nothing to do with her and have no contact at all with any of her grandchildren, than attempt to change her behaviour. Although I'm not convinced it can be changed. All I can say is that the number of enablers is likely to decline as the years go by although there will always be a fresh bunch of saps willing to be sucked into the vortex and then, when they are if no use anymore, spat out. I just hope the damage is limited.

I would also hazard a guess is that this is why rehab is really of little benefit and I imagine is even a form of enabling in itself (for someone like Jack I mean with these particular personality issues - not generally!)
