Jack Monroe #523 Everything she does is pointless busywork that solves nothing

[jockyscott]

Having lurked and dreamed of the day I could join all my birthdays, christmases and whatever else have all come today, I nearly jumped out of bed when I saw I could join

long time lurker, never liked her from years back when she was famous all the sudden I’m an alcoholic but it only took me two weeks to be recovered! The beeping beaut
lost a bit of interest in her couple of years ago (mainly due to war happening and having to escape)

love seeing the slopalongs, the forensics in her lies. And of course the support you give each other

it’s a shame you are all ebil trolls who can’t see the good she does gently behind the scenes she’s a beeping walloper !

Welcome indeed to everyone new.

Has Tattle opened up to new members again or is everyone ex lurkers?

I feel a bit vulnerable.

I'm pulling out my comic sans pixalations to protect myself.

Thank you for the welcome! It’s open again - you don’t need a referral code any more. I feel like Indiana Jones when he slides under the closing door.

I imagine she is an Oxfam ambassador in the same way that she is one for the CPAG. In that she told them that she was and they never bothered to check that she isn’t listed anywhere as one.

Threads and threads back (but this year) a frau contacted an organisation to ask if guest was still their ambassador and they were both lax and cagey with their answer. Something about 'yes she is, it matters not that she isn't mentioned on our website anymore', or something. This is a fairly useless post as I can't remember the org or which frau but hopefully someone else will. It all speaks to the complete lack of due diligence from the places that book her, and also the places that championed her. Neither seem to give two shits that she is poison, they won't check, they don't care, it's a sign of the shit-times vis a vis activism on social media and it's so wrong and annoying :/

That "Ronseal human being" quote. Does exactly what it says on the tin, does it? What does it say on the tin? Exactly?

 

[MaineCoonMama]

long time grunker and lurker, first time poster! just wanted to stick my head in and say hello to the canal, can't wait to get stuck in with the next chaoi but mostly need to let you all know that you're a stellar and compassionate bunch and reading these threads for the last 8ish months has been extremely eye opening both for the capacity of uplifting kindness here and also incredible feats of bleepness from the titular tit herself.

I won't bore you all with my own tale of how I came across Jack Monwoe but I'm so happy to finally be here among fellow frauen.

back OT - the “flirting” in the excerpt above is too much. she thinks she's Carrie from Sex and the City but it's more Slop and Gritty

Hi, I love your name. It sounds like Jack's take on a classic Aussie dish.

Monroe Backstory

I read her HH2 then read HH1 and realised HH2 was a copy/pasta of HH1, few words/sentences changed interchangeable and thought "you lazy mare, you couldn't write a new blog post" so googled her and found myself here. That HH2 post made the scales fall from my eyes. Scammer

Frauen. After many many gruelling months of grunking I have finally been granted entry to your ranks. I feel like I know you all. Thank you all for the endless entertainment. I wish I’d found you all in lockdown. I have no idea how I got here. I think it was awfully molly. Jack was never really on my radar except as the exact figure she portrays herself as and the KH blah. Then I somehow saw the AM account and have been gobsmacked ever since. What a complete GRIFTING BELL END.

@Walkdengirl Secret scrambled eggs is eggs with added eggs

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

I really want to break ranks to go and twitter screech THAT'S NOT A DAHL at Coxy. You can't just lob any pulses into a pan with any old combo of spices and call it a dahl. That's not what it is. And the absolute worst thing is that dahl is by its nature a thrifty dish, it literally costs pennies to make so why is she trying to reinvent the wheel? Indian people have been making nutritious, tasty food on the cheap for centuries. Who is this wanker come lately?

Absolutely agree with this. Every culture has a version of this be it Italian pasta, Scottish porridge slices or Swedish salted herrings and they come with a rich history which most people are sensitive to when adapting or trying new dishes. A lot of these meals have geographical ties and are deliberately calorie dense in order to sustain people working the land or in heavy industry. Guest tramples all over the original dishes, their history, their purpose and therefore people's cultural identities. She forgets a lot of these meals were born of real hardship and suffering. She also overlooks the huge and sadly silent contribution women have made to the culinary world she loves to sample. For guest it's a playground of recipes to play potions with. For the people who created them it was about survival.

she's done it more recently too in that AWFUL interview she did with Marcus Rashford

He divulges that he can't cook.

Did she reassure him by admitting she can't either?

[Valiofthedolls]

It really does take a full-on fanny to refer to themselves as "hilarious". That's for other people to say, not you.

Also, she isn't funny.

Not even when she tells the internet one of her HILLLLARRRRRRIOUS and FASCINATING anecdotes?

Spoiler: guest’s funny stories

She’s long been a truly fascinating anecdotalist, mind you.

You can TOTES see how she can command that £10,000-£15,000 speaking fee on the after dinner circuit.

Spoiler: Yo, guest!

I'm glad she specified sticking a clean finger in. I was planning on rootling my hands round in a bag of compost first and not washing them.

 

[SleevelessSlopSlinger]

The Greenbelt statement has left me raging (proper naan raging as well). It’s absolutely horrendous that someone who has STOLEN (yes the Lee Anderson thing was basically stealing) keeps being given a platform and paid partnerships to talk about poverty. My friends keep telling me I am obsessed but I can’t believe she gets away with fraud time and time again by pulling bad mentals and made up physical health issues. From what I’ve grunked on here there are so many people out there with genuinely difficult lives who get on with it and manage not to scam people. It really makes me sad. I’m sorry to rant but I hate her.

 

[bizwizz89]

My Harold (he’s LEFT because i’m pissed and he went to bed) WERE watching one of our favourite ‘top 100 xxx’ shows on channel 5 and low and behold Guest is on one called ‘When Celebrity Goes Horribly Wrong’ about her case with KH. Nick Ferrari and Chris Tarrant’s son are the experts and it’s so shit it’s quite good. KH makes an appearance. They feature some real classics such as

I wish everyone would stop fucking suing everyone.

 

[WhyYouCry?]

Wow, I spent a few days suckered into the Alice Evans drama and come back to what feels like an actual party in here! Welcome all new members.
Frauen, I think my Old Harold may be trolling me. After the sausage and bean slop I was subjected to last week, he has just served me up leftover stir fry veg and noodles… WITH AN ACTUAL INEXPLICABLE EGG! Just sitting there, on top, taunting me. When I looked at him in horror, he said ‘I just thought it needed some protein’.
On the plus side, the egg was actually cooked, and not just a globule of snot sitting atop my noodles.

Big soft, gentle welcome to all new ninnies
You've joined us at a bit of a lull.
I just hope guest comes out of retirement soon so you can witness a chaos in real time. It is quite the ride

Thank you! I got so excited to see membership open and then crashed like guest on a Wednesday when I realised I probably now had nothing to comment on as there is no chaoi. Did she do this on purpose?!!
My origin story is a boring one of hearing about them, thinking okay, low budget cookbook = good, but having grown up poor (a very thrifty grandmother on one side, and a nana who bought my shoes and brought my mum a chicken and 6 eggs every week on the other) I was more than blessed with the knowledge to cook/make money stretch, I had no interest in actually reading it/about her. Weirdly no one has ever expressed a desire to watch me cook but friends do want to eat my food more than once.
Much later, someone I know pitched an idea to her for some kind of collaboration and guest used some of their ideas (I’m not sure what) and f-d my friend off. So then I had a somewhat souring view of her but no real interest still. Then the suing of Hopkins, which I felt was probably good, and now I’ve hit a blank as to what actually tipped me into active interest, but somewhere along the way this year I discovered tattle while looking stuff up about her to see if anyone else thought there were the same holes in what she said/mistakes/lies etc (come on who sells their kids toys?! Really?!!) and you all did. So, going through a very hard year, tattle grunking became my way to zone out of an evening for a while, then I began sharing bits with my slightly-younger Harold as I was bursting out laughing and had to
explain. He was baffled and horrified in parts, we admired the superb artworks here, cringed at the singing, and she has now cruelly curtailed our entertainment. I’m glad to be here though as I have been really impressed with the thoughtful, kind and wise responses I’ve seen here during my time grunking from the outside.

Weird guest-like but true story: I once found a genuine silver (imitation Tiffany) heart bracelet down a crack in a pavement. Years later I found a matching necklace, also in a pavement.

 

[houseofhoop]

Am on the way to a funeral with mother in law in tow.. she must be related to Jack as she’s making this day all about herself.. bitch. Anyway, I wanted to say, welcome all new mavens, your stories are keeping me sane on this long journey (don’t worry I’m not the one dry)
Now fuck off x
