Yep tomatoes should be sown feb-April, July is well late, much like mackie herselfIf I recall correctly, Gardener Jack was sowing tomato seeds in July last year like a ninny. She brings the same maverick savant energy to gardening as she does to cooking with similar success.

Bovril is so expensive now, and as it is my Old Harold's favourite on a crumpet or cheese on toast, I feel compelled to buy it for him out of love. If it goes over a fiver he can duck off and buy it himself mind you
As far as I can tell the Hopkins trial wasn't a "landmark" trial, except in guest's mind because she won and got a lot of media attention. The gist of it IIRC was that Hopkins mistook someone else for guest, insulted guest for what the other person had done, and then when the error was pointed out, refused to retract or apologize.
I've never seen anything that claims the case established any new precedents in the interpretation or application of libel law. If any legal-minded fraus can add more details, please do.
(guest is also conveniently ignoring that the trial judge had some rather damning things to say about guest's own conduct, even though she won the case.)

Coming from a few pages back. So it was estimated she raised £70k for the kickstarter? I gathered this from a previous poster, apologies if incorrect. I’ve only been here for a year / 32 chaos’s.
Given the apparent poor quality and the fact that many people didn’t receive them, was it assumed that she just kept the money?

The whole thing is still online here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/780456006/cooking-on-a-bootstrap-by-jack-monroe/description
- people were still making "I never received my book" comments as recently as a year ago.
Please someone show us the Kickstarter book!
And here

Kickstarter delivers Jack Monroe's latest cookbook in less than a day
The campaign to raise £8,000 to publish Cooking on a Bootstrap achieved three times its target in the first 24 hours
www.theguardian.com
Given the depth of knowledge in this canal, I assume we have publishing Fraus who could estimate how much she spent and how much was pocketed?
ETA if she only needed £8,000, what happened to the rest?!

I really want to see it too!
I went to look see if there were any images online, and found this, which just raises more questions than answers.
Crowdfunding is much harder than it looks and normally takes a lot of work. The fact she raised 860% of target and then treated the backers this badly is maddening. Entitled brat.
Dear
I am not going to have this conversation on this thread and have already apologised for my comment. But wine had been taken and I was frustrated that there are 4 girls pictured in that article and only the one 2 feet taller than the others with an Adam's apple gets named. Apologies again for any offence given or taken xx
It’s a bit depressing isn’t it to remember how much she got away with in her first big grift.
£65,789 came from backers paying £12 or more. For a 199 page b&w paperback.
That's £2 more than the 272 page full colour hardback edition of Grifty Kitchen.
Yet she still had to do an additional beg for the postage costs. And even then, it seems that many of her backers didn't ever receive their copy.
She's always been a fraud.
Sorry if this is old news - no time to grunk! But I'm watching question time live on iplayer and they've just said Jack Monroe is on next week's show in Leicester
Here was I, ready to press the 'heart reaction'. Nope, it's FF, of course there's a twist at the end.
Printing costs would be £9,326 using Amazon's print on demand service with 2023 prices.
Maybe another £3-4k for postage & packing?
As for what happened to the remaining £56k...
