Went back to check on kind squiggle who sent her the score for the trolley. Follow up tweet shows you exactly who JM is getting money from. Potentially someone on a low income, far, far lower than Mack's.

This is truly shameful on Jack's part.

I've always found through life that it's those with the least who are the most generous. Jack is totally exploiting them, whilst claiming to be on their side.

Guys this may be dead content but pls hear me out - looking at google trends for search term "Jack Monroe" in the UK for the last year to 30 days (have a play with it here!) is funny. Tl;dr: she's being searched less / when she is it's just for drama / her tattle pages are nearly as searched for as her twitter page / the black eye incident drove searches to us.

As you can see in the 'interest over time' attachment looking at search volume for her over the past year, interest in JM has waned down to nearly nothing in the last 3 months. The other interesting thing is how much & how sharply her search interest fluctuates - it's purely driven by twitter shitfits. There's no large always on type search interest in her, it's literally just driven by drama? The coven won't be seeing any brand partnerships anytime soon tbh. Then the juicy stuff, looking at those last 3 months (90 days) in detail you can see that her Twitter is her most searched for query. Google index these so we don't get absolute volumes of searches - but 100 means that's your most searched for. JM tattle is nearly as searched for as her actual bleeping Twitter account, with an index of 90. Also searches for JM tattle were up 750% on prior, it's a bit misleading as it's from such a low prior period base but the coven will be growing!!

Looking at search volume for JM tattle isn't the most illuminating thing because unfortunately it's still a very small 'population' of users searching for it and google only share bits when it reaches certain thresholds. But interest pretty much doubled week commencing 06/09 - guess what happened then? Checking her instagram no lie it's literally the day she entered the Marvel comics witness protection program for fake black eyes. This adds up as we've had quite a few new fraus citing that as their breaking point!

Fantastic work coven bitcoin in the encrypted post, girls night out to a spire due soon x Sorry if this is typed poorly got a happy baby who wants to chat x
I bleeping love this. ❤

A quick trawl through the archives for her poverty timeline:

In 2014, her life had changed beyond recognition and she acknowledged that she was not poor anymore: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/sep/11/jack-monroe-five-recipes-new-cookbook

This was when she was trying to just be a food writer - no mention of weetabix or jam(!): https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...g-kids-food-is-more-than-fuel-pancake-recipes

But that didn't work for her. She can't cook, so if she's not rinsing beans nobody cares about her recipes, and her second book didn't do well.

She was dropped by Sainsbury's in late 2014 for her vile comment about David Cameron's son. She also parted ways with her original publisher around that time (she variously got dropped for being trans or left because she wanted to produce a cookbook on a much faster timeframe - lol).

Around the third book (Kickstarter), she became Permanently Poor. Why? Because she's not good enough to have a career as a normal food writer. She needs a gimmick, and hers is poverty.

She is gross.

Scarletfever I can't DM you ( or at least I don't know how to ) but if you or anyone else knows how to get in touch with the squiggle ( I don't do SM ) I'd like to pay that person her money back.

Mr F is not impressed. One of our friends follows her on Twitter, so he sees some of her tweets ( she blocked me) & he’s very puzzled as to why she shops twice a day. I explained her yellow sticker reasoning.

Mr F “What about Aldi & Lidl? If she’s that skint they are cheaper & decent enough.”
Me “Oh, apparently they are too far away, about an hours walk.”
Mr F “ I’m sorry, but she can just duck off.”

Mr F when not working from home walks for almost an hour to get to work, then repeats on the way back, even with arthritis in his foot & a DVT In his leg!

I mentioned that £20 she got from that poor disabled follower. His reply;

” Oh for fucks sake, why can’t she get a proper job like everyone else?”

Mr F is currently bashing his laptop keyboard in disgust.

I'm not shocked but I *am* depressed. I had a quick scroll through that person's timeline too and she just seems really ... nice? When she 'complains' to companies she does it politely and thanks them for their help - a much more effective way to get actual results, too. She seems to have have had COVID and has been shielding for months. Her responses to other posters are sweet and sympathetic, she just doesn't seem to have a side to her at all. And of course she is struggling financially but she's just getting through it as best she can. It's just so depressing on a number of levels that that's the type of person who is Jack's ideal follower - one who probably wouldn't dream of questioning her narrative and who would send her money. £20 is absolutely nothing to Jack, but it's a huge amount to people with real financial hardship.
The thing is, I don’t think Jack would ever look to see who gave her money. She’s too up her own arse, has absolutely no interest whatsoever in her followers (including the ones who give her money) & is so privileged and middle class that she probably thinks everyone has spare cash to fling to an urchin like her. I don’t think she’d even think twice of people giving her cash normally, particularly as she also genuinely seems to think she’s ‘hard up’ because she’s not a millionaire, isn’t a genuine celebrity and doesn’t live in a 5 bedroom house & have a property empire like her parents.

That’s why Tattle is actually a public service. Given that she reads here quicker than she reads a Rebus book (her choice to do that, nobody’s forcing her, m’lud) she’s forced to see who these people are that are giving her money. She’s being presented with differing opinions. Given her increasing tantrums whenever anyone so much as says they cook chicken with a different type of oil, I suspect it’s causing cognitive dissonance at the very least. In essence, you fraus and herrs are acting as her conscience. Initially it won’t do much but the more she tantrums and the more she tries to justify things (to herself and the world) the more it will unravel.

Just my opinion, your honour. Now duck off!

happy to chip in as I’ve been trying to find her on Twitter this morning for the same reason. It’s difficult though as I don’t think an amazon voucher will be as useful as cash for someone in her situ but you’ve got to be careful doxxing yourself on PayPal as JM is truly vile. Not just virtue signalling but will also donate £20 to match what JM is taking out of food bank circulation to our local one as I’ve felt icky on spending £3 on JM’s mushroom soup, but see value in comparing the images so will keep it in the shop. To think we’re the bleeping trolls ey x
