No. She. Doesn't.

I actually had someone tell me this in all seriousness once. They said that Daniel Blake was fake and it was based on the life of JM. Apparently they read this on twitter (I have never been able to find it) You can imagine my reaction, right?Don't forget that Ken loach I Daniel Blake was based on our Jackie

Westwood rags??my rags-to-book deal story
It’s on her list! After the piss and the sandwich etc etcOh yes I'm actually glad she hasn't said anything because my rage levels can't handle it. Probably will include a reference to 'more bread and jam please mummy'
I just googled Jack Monroe Daniel Blake and found this...HOW long has she been writing this poverty book?! So people will have taken the time to share their painful testimonies and she never even bothered finishing it.

I can't stop laughing at this - how did this shit get published?!https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-blake-millions-like-me-jack-monroe-ken-loach
Jack went to the press screening... more strangers and more floral Jack writing.
"The woman beside me, a stranger, squeezed my forearm as I choked on guttural, involuntary sobs. I’m sorry, I whispered, sloping out to punch a wall in the corridor and cry into the blinding, unaware streets of west London. I looked mad. I am mad. " Ugh
" I, Daniel Blake is not quite my life story. But yet, it is. I turned down the movie rights for my rags-to-book deal story in 2014, because I’m the lucky one. I felt the Hollywood treatment for “poor girl has hard time then it all gets better” would be an insult to the millions who don’t get to write about it in the Guardian afterwards. Don’t tell me to check my privilege, I know it. I found a job as a local journalist through sitting at council meetings and waiting for a vacancy to come up, after applying for hundreds of others. The rest is history – and 90-hour working weeks to stay afloat. I am currently writing this at 4am, having started work at 7. Five years after falling down the benefits rabbit hole, I’ve almost repaid the bank charges and court orders from that energy bill and others besides. "
Punched the wall in a totally non violent manner, presumably. How does she fit it all in in those 40 hour days?https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-blake-millions-like-me-jack-monroe-ken-loach

I'm surprised she managed to look up from twitter on her phone for long enough to watch the bloody thingPunched the wall in a totally non violent manner, presumably. How does she fit it all in in those 40 hour days?
Love this comment on the article...I can't stop laughing at this - how did this shit get published?!
Never mind her self justification and repeated need for approbation on what ostensibly should be an objective piece of journalism. One reference to her background and journey would suffice but to refer to it continuously detracts from the article itself and lessens its impact.
Interesting, wasn't she claiming recently that she turned down the movie rights in order to protect her family?https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-blake-millions-like-me-jack-monroe-ken-loach

Where do the book profits go? JM?Oh yes I'm actually glad she hasn't said anything because my rage levels can't handle it. Probably will include a reference to 'more bread and jam please mummy'

Yep. Hollywood Schmollywood. Why would anyone in Hollywood be remotely interested in Slackie? (They wouldn't be)Anyone else calling bullshit on the 'Hollywood Movie of my life'?
I would one hundred percent watch this tbf"A piss and a sandwich - UK service stations rated by Jack Monroe"
actual HOOTING!The film would have been great, I can see it now. Ruby Rose sliding down the pole in full firefighting gear. Miserably being measured by a tailor for her passing out parade, Michael Caine bent at her knee with a tape measure. 'Traazers? On a bird?' He spits out his cigar in disgust. 'Chief likes a broad in stilettoes.' Etc..
