There’s also this, which made me hoot:

It’s a Jack Monroe recipe but I didn’t have the ingredients so I made something else and it tastes nice.

That's another 10-15k in the bank for her. Kerching!

Can't tell if that is a pisstake or genuine? Reminds me of the woman asking Nigel Slater for an aubergine substitute in an aubergine recipe!

Just for grins, I priced pig heads where I live. $80. I guess if you have no other hobbies, boiling pig ephemera sounds like a hoot. A hoot.

So basically “Jack Monroe has not actually accomplished anything of note since being a mildly influential gay and saying that Tanzanian poverty was just like her own back in 2014.”

ETA I wonder if she’ll DRAMATIC PAUSE again while telling her stupid hugely embellished sob story lies to Greenbelt? Do you think she’ll tonelessly warble for them again?

Well, if anyone was ever in any doubt that Jack Monroe has never done any frontline work, that tweet is all they need to confirm it.

None of us who have actually worked with street homeless people would ever fantasise about taking them home. Not because we don’t like them, not because we are horrible bastards, not because we don’t think that having a home is a crucial part of getting your life back together. But because we know that for the majority of people who end up on the streets, it’s because of very complex factors - often lifelong - that we cannot fix. Those factors cause chaotic lives. And you just cannot have that chaos in your own home, especially not as a single woman with a kid ffs.

Taking someone home with you isn’t going to sort his life out. If he’s on the streets in that location he actually has access to the best homelessness support services in the entire country, operated by serious homelessness experts and leaders in developing better services. And if they can’t fix it for him, nobody else can, and Jack fucking Monroe certainly can’t.
She’s such an insufferable dickhead.

It's also hugely patronising. She's talking about a human being like he's a cute ickle kitten in a kennel at the local RSPCA.

EXACTLY!
I might have to stop myself here on this particular angle, cos her ignorance and self importance have pissed me right off, and this is something I really care about. I had to get off frontline work - most of us do at some point - because of burnout, I had no emotions to spare except anger, which was bottomless. she hasn’t got a damn clue.

Interesting that she never turns up with a stick or shoulder brace at these speaking engagements innit.

Just a random thought which has been whizzing around my brain since this morning....I wonder how many Fraus have coins from Jack's guardian photo shoot in their purses at this very moment....makes me glad to be an actual German Frau and only have Euros in my purse

Yes she said there were two tape recorders used to tape it so I look forward to the release of the audio, to clear things up once and for all

Except it’s not “feet” is it you twat? Pigs “feet” are called trotters.

Can’t wait for Deep South Georgia Y’all Jack to pretend she’s making chitlins. God I fucking loathe this tiresome dipshit.

Urgh, she’s speaking at the Greenbelt Festival. I hope she doesn’t break out into ‘kum-by-a muthafuckers’. ETA Poster attached and a lone dissenting squig
She’s not going to need a stab vest for that line up.

Are we seriously seeing the first steps of The Great Rehabilation of Jack Monroe’s Image? Despite the fact she’s done literally no penance for the wrongs she is in fact still doing? Like … what the actual fuck people? This is ridiculous. We're supposed to have some sort of standards and accountability aren’t we? Oh but then the press is supposed to be a big part of accountability in this country. So if the press aren’t bothering to do anything about Jack Monroe then I guess we’ve got fucking nothing. This is all so wrong.

Pictures or ir it didn't happen, Monroe. If you were actually boiling a pig, you would have said trotters. She's such a fantasist.

(I will laugh up a pigs lung if she ends up having to buy a pig's head to prove the doubters wrong.)

She's so grim, the kid must dread Tuesdays at this point. I mean I know she's talking bollox and just trying to get people going. God, I hope the vegans start on her
