I honestly can not get over the plan to Crowdfund a house. Beggars belief.
why the hell does she think ARM will respond? That is hilarious.
Unfortunately people like her (and her odious brother) really do think people 'lower down' are peasants. Jack's opinion won't have been noticed and even if it has she will think it to be funny.
Exactly. As someone said upthread, she was broke/in debt for a little while, but never truly poor.
I find this bizarre too, you don’t really hear people proudly/boastfully recounting their horror stories. But admittedly I only tend to chat to well recovered people who are honest about their day counts, new comers are usually so shaken they don’t even find the horrors funny (yet). Just bizarre behaviour but what can you expect.
Sorry if this has been said, 2 pages from 3am Jesus!
Well I do hope SB is at his dad's house today, won't be much fun with his mum while she's sleeping off last night's Twitter binge
I agree with this (about her aiming some comments at tattle). The reference to the “Jackie” article (
) nailed it for me. And the bits about her former bungalow and its “tiny“ bedrooms.
Thank for this, I really didn’t to go to her website and give her any revenue. Much appreciated.
I only dip in and out of this thread so I may not have the full picture but the tweet about seeing who can cope the longest in a flat with kids and no money has really upset me. It's not far from my reality (along with plenty of other families on my estate.) If I saw that on TV I would feel quite hurt and angry. It's as crass as saying let's all go to a third world country and see who survives the longest. Other people's struggles should not be your content.
That food will have cost more than £3, she’s FAILED, TAKE IT BACK.

The article below shows how very tetchy (yes I know our Jackie can be feisty sometimes, hard to believe I know!) she can be if she gets called out on it. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/08/21/jack-monroe-daily-mail_n_8022196.html

I've just read that blog "The Price of Potatoes". It is totally ridiculous.
She posts a photo of glass of water and a piece of toast - as though she is some Victorian street urchin with no food.
She think she's working class because her father was a fireman. We all know the truth about her father and her family's wealth and comfort.
Was she evicted from her flat, really? Or is the truth somewhat, very different? I bet the latter.
She lives in Thorpe Bay, near the yacht crowd. She has a very kind landlord - the identity is probably a family member.
This sentence is bizarre. Who writes like this?!: "Sometimes I just want to run back home and live with my parents, at the age of 32, and beg them to take care of me. I’ll be very quiet. I can cook, and I promise not to say duck in front of the children, Mum."
This wasn't a "tabloid". This was US. Tattle! She is bonkers: "As a grimly amusing aside, this led to one of the tabloids recently pooling a pile of my social media photos together to imply that I had a massively grand house"
What????!!!! "Someone will pull into my drive in a three point turn and I’ll be flat to the wall, peering out of a crack in the many layers of voiles, trying to see who they are"
She doesn't mention she was working on the local paper in Southend as a "reporter" when she first became known. Wonder why?!
Oh, the irony! "Choosing to use your privileges to patronise people whose lives are entirely beyond your experience and comprehension, is a choice". She has spent nearly a decade patronising the real working class, truly poor people, whose lives SHE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.
At the G8 "Snuck into the big dinner and nicked a load of bread rolls. Got accosted by the PSNI in the press pit". duck off, Jack, and GROW THE duck UP.
Proof she reads every single thread on Tattle with this caption: "The books were lent to me by a friend, before anyone comes at me with OOH FANCY BOOKS."
This is beyond words. She uses a photo of her son Jonny to pretend he was cold and poor: "Note the too-small trousers, the cold red face and hands and feet and the hard wooden floor, two tops and a jumper."
Everything about that blog could be fact-checked and found either to be a blatant lie, or distorted, and she is VERY selective about what she says about herself.
She has serious mental problems.

The phrasing in that article that is way too close to sexual abuse is bleeping disgusting. She is SO triggering.
Wanting a forever home where she can paint the walls whatever colour she wants? LOOK WHAT YA DID TO THE SHED!! She took windows out and all sorts. Will ya ever fuuuuck off!!

She makes a big deal of the fact she didn't get enough GCSEs to do A-Levels. A-Levels are not the only option though, there's a lot of vocational courses available and this would have been true when she was 16 as well. So she can't use that as ammunition and blame that system on her not progressing further into education!
I think she has gone the same way as Scottish Jack. Completely forgotten!
Im the same age as Jack. I dont remember anything about 'half' GCSEs!?
No one ever actually uses their honorary titles though do they?
Me, I bloody love Kath and Kim!!
TBH even the Jackie explanation is bleeping me off this morning. Now obviously she loves her name so much that she named her first cookbook 'A Girl Called Jack' (which cracks me up, because every cookbook I own has some reference to, er, food or cooking in the title. So basic, I know).
But...it seems to me that being a woman named Jack is not all that outrageous? It's a bit like George or Charlie, nicknames that could easily derive from a feminine name. If she were, I dunno, A Girl Called Trevor, then her "edgy name" thing would make more sense.
