Was this when she was in her "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" era? Writing cringey middle-aged letters to the local rag about FOULING DOGS and needing more bobbies on the beat instead of iPads in hospitals. bleeping melt.

Her reputation is well and truly down the bleeper if organisers are now having to write statements justifying them booking her. Mortifying.

They've been working on that statement since the 22nd of March!

Isn't it lovely that they're going to make things right by... letting some actual povs speak in a separate tent, but not bothering to include them on their Lineup A-Z Grid View online, let alone their lineup poster or any marketing materials? duck off, greenbelt.

As if consulting with TT would give them an unbiased opinion 🙄

*New interloper poking head in*
I’ve been following this awhile. I find it super disappointing and alarming that someone could become such a well-promoted cook with no interest or skill in cooking!

I am however grateful that it wasn’t a ‘neurosurgeon named Jack’ kinda situation. Maybe performing surgery with improvised egg rings.

I have ADHD myself and can see aspects of it in her constant unfinished projects, overcommitments, and wonder if I’d be like that if I ever unwittingly (and unwillingly) fell into a mythical land where one of my random flaky hobbies became profitable. In that regard I can sympathise as I’d likely just leave a trail of well-meaning chaos in my wake.

But most people with ADHD are keenly aware of their liabilities. What puzzles me is that she never seems to think she’s screwed up, or admitted her limitations, it’s the crucial point at which the whole rickety construct collapses. And if she didn’t keep pretending to be living in grinding poverty she could gave admitted her liabilities and hired in help.

And it upsets me that so many inexperienced cooks are wasting food and thinking they’re crap at cooking, just from following something seemingly created by a crazed AI aardvark with a software virus.

Soooooo they are admitting that Jack doesn’t have “lived experience of poverty”?

That statement doesn’t paint her in the best light tbh, it definitely just seems like they don’t want to backtrack and there isn’t one golden bullet to stop her going (except there is, that she’s stolen money off actual povs but they seem to have glossed over that).

Yeh I started out annoyed at it and then had a little smirk. I think it'll piss her off no end. Anything other than unequivocal praise is outrageous to her. It ended with tactful acknowledgment of yeh she's a bit of a bellwhiff but she's been coming here for years. Same reasoning I use to Mr Vint when Great Auntie Fiona has to come over at xmas.

Just for the newbies (used to have newbie Tuesday on one forum as that's when they could post)
She was caught wearing a watch that was released in March 2022, the year of summers then HH2 beg. No light bulbs, no hot water, boiled soap.
£7400 , bet she is furious about this
As I said I'll post this once a thread as it's abhorrent.

What a load of old rit. Excellent way to further overinflate her already overinflated ego with 'divides public opinion.' No hun, no bleep knows who she is.

Many apologies for the foul language, I am on holiday (watermelon) and am two Don Simons in.

I think 'divides public opinion' will absolutely enrage her. It's the sort of thing usually only said about people like Farage. Well meaning people reading that will probably Google Jack Monroe Controversy and find these well searched pages. Hiiiiiiii

The statement to me reads as “We wanted to bin her but she pulled the bad mentals card and said how much she’s been struggling and we are too chicken tit to bin her in case she blames us for a breakdown so here we are”

Evening canal. Delighted I can finally un- lurk. Was very disappointed tattl opened up when I was actually meant to be studying but here we are. I have no great origin story. I have been aware of Jack for years. I love to to cook but her recipes always seemed wrong and never made me want to try them. I seem to remember her posting some fishpaste/crab/pasta offence to food, Italy and humanity in a single foul bowl in her blog and then I knew she couldn't cook. Found her thread when browsing the alice Evan shitshow and I've been enjoy it here ever since

Christ, that’s more than I expected!

I just read that Guardian article! Old news to you guys but it’s awful to see her total lack of remorse for taking so much money! I bet a lot of the supporters didn’t have that much themselves and identified with her too.

I wonder if there’ll be more legislation about fundraisers coming at some point as there seems to be endemic scamming all over the shop.
