Jack Monroe #573 Close your Patreon, you thieving liar

[rage naan]

Can I just say that "who is Sue Lee" made me lol actually ol

 

[MavisBeacon]

yes but they're not dripfeed royalties, that slowly, painfully, languidly, LAGGARDLY, sluggishly ooze into their accounts

Indeed they are not. They're lump sums that are paid every six months, usually. Along with your ALCS and PLR payments.

However, if you got an.advance you'll only get royalties if your book sells enough to cover that cost. I expect she's only getting a relatively small amount from her back catalogue at this point - if Grifty Kitchen has earned out, I'll eat my brogues.

I was listening to a podcast this morning (Blindboy podcast, he's such a good egg) and the total gratitude he expresses to his Patreon subscribers in every single episode is lovely. No tin rattling, no false promises, no sob stories, just gratitude that he gets to make a living doing something he and others enjoy.

Also, his books are actually good.

Really makes you think.

ANd they'd still be tastier than a veg peel fritter.

Oh the only thing her Comments Club (though it looks suspiciously like a sock to me) will say is that her Patreon is “inactive” - which they later say means people are happy to pay for nothing, so that’s just fine.

It’s a way to control the narrative, keeping the focus on tomatoes and voluntary payments for no rewards instead of showing the sheer scale, complexity and depth of the grift. If you’re just peering through the keyhole, you’re not looking at the whole room.

I never thought I'd see the day when I thought Katie Hopkins had more integrity than anyone but here we are, in upside down world.

Agh. So annoying.

If it were inactive, she surely would have posted a note to that effect. Instead, her most recent post makes various promises about making amends, catching up, and fulfilling all outstanding rewards.

That was 18 months ago, and nothing since then - so innocent bystanders would be forgiven for assuming that all was now well. After all, she told us in the Guardian a couple of months later that all outstanding rewards had been sent!

Hopkins there making a compelling case for the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. Glad she’s getting a dig in though, vile as she is.

I seriously think we need some kind of infographic so that people can see at a glance the scale of the grift over time. Maybe John burn Murdoch from the FT can put something together.

Let's not forget that Hopkins is a nasty piece of work.

 

[Geetbo]

Christ I’m now hoping for Katie Hopkins to come out on top in an argument. duck you guest.

 

[Seaford Haggington]

Not been her day, has it?

Not been her decade so far tenderstem x

That Sonia Poulton thing is about 16 months old, isn’t it?

 

[HotesTilaire]

How ambiguous ...she doesn't say she's actually delivering the food, she's delivering the message about the food. Wot a fanny. I want to see a pic of her actually holding a crate of provisions. And today's newspaper.

And @tiblisipeach guy

 

[rage naan]

I mean all three of them are awful. Hopkins, poulton, guest. Imagine an arse with three cheeks.

 

[pumbilical cord]

OK guest, what's the message you've been tasked with today? That there's poverty? That Fairshare are helping? Where are you sharing your message? On your locked down Twatter?

Get in the bin you grifting boglin. You've never one conveyed a meaningful message. The VBI crap and the 344% more spenny rice = lies. Your poverty = lies. Superdrug and hygiene poverty = advise people to shoplift.

Every message or campaign you put your voice to Jack you tarnish it. I hope Elon gets rid of the ability to lock accounts.
