Jack Monroe #91 POOR (ISH)

[Shesaidwhat?]

Omg I’m actually shaking with anger that’s she’s taken a disabled persons money that’s for their heating. I’m also now worried about how many other people in the same situation she’s scamming. I’d better keep off Twitter or I’ll get myself banned from Tattle. Is there anyway I could give her £20?

The mindset of her fans

Is it crossing the line to forward that £20 from home heating grant to her publisher\ channel 4 to investigate the tragedy that a very recent bestselling writer surrounded by luxury is at the point of starvation?

If she ever finishes that poverty book (big if), this sort of thing will NOT look at all good when they do the publicity tour. Something for the publisher to think about.

Have yous ever read Mumsnet begging threads? The internet is apparently full of very gullible people willing to throw money at any sob story, no matter how farfetched.

I saw something like this on a parenting subreddit, they had a whole wiki about the lies people usually tell (babies in hospital, often premature twins etc) and loads of example posts linked. This tit leads people to become sceptical so genuinely poor people at a point of crisis are not believed. Jack is contributing to this - yet another reason why she’s evil

I have been reading through what been posted on here regarding her current tweet rants on that lady.

Isn't it odd how she shouted at Mr walliams accused him of all sorts and yet he remained quiet even with her fanatic pile on, yet she is howling and generally being awful. Sometimes love you it's best to shut up. He did and everyone left him alone.

I have a sense of pride in this. I questioned why she was fleecing people for a shopping trolley.

Welcome to the not very exclusive club

No pets you say?

But she’s done all the research about getting a dog and it’s the right decision.....

To be fair to the scoundrel, it looks like she’s got the landlords approval for a pet already ( the cat)

 

[SoulRebel]

Of all the hills to choose to die on...trolleygate!
This was a comment in The Guardian 7 years ago when Jack was telling people they could feed a family for £10 a week.

i wonder where she would rank on the most important gay list now...i think at least 20 places lower down than, oh i don't know, H from Steps

I think the pair of male penguins who robbed an egg off another couple are 40 places higher than her now.

It appears to be a Rolox watch.

So probably bought on holiday for a tenner. Someone who has a actual Rolex knows what it is called.

Eta: it's someone taking the piss isn't it? Sometimes I am so slow on the uptake!

I bloody hope so, however knowing her squiggles they’re probably deadly serious.

This "belt tightening to navigate choppy waters" line is so cringe. Hun you have about 200 pairs of the same jeans in 4 different size ranges to suit your fluctuating weight as you have shown and told many times. You don't even need a belt much less share of anybodys winter heating money.

And not a thankyou to the £20 Donor at all just disgusting!!

It would be v v unusual to rent a property like that on a "rolling monthly basis". She took the lease with Louisa - so it's more likely it's a fixed. And the details say it's available from Feb 2021.

Jack will do a huge drama from the New Year about her living situation, how she can't afford the rent, how she is "fretting" - when she knows she'll be moving next year. It wouldn't surprise me if she's already looking or lined something up.

Its quite usual for the initial tenancy to be say, six months and then for the landlord not to renew it on a fixed basis but a rolling monthly one if they are happy with the tenant. This does mean that either party can give one months notice to end the tenancy so it brings flexibility but also some risk.

Pets? She has them on rotation doncha know....

Fosters 10 dogs on rotation? What does that even mean?

Yep! This is what points towards the harrowing possibility that she hasn’t saved a penny of her £100k p/a salary, which is genuinely shocking. You can see exactly how she’s managed to liberate herself of £5k per month though can’t you, are we up to a metric ton of Cotswolds yet?

Fackin ‘ell, it’s never ending! 10 on rotation, what does that even mean? Apart from the ever-present ‘completed it, mate’ undertones, obviously..

Perhaps it's a 'rotation' as in "I was only petting it, George.." Kind of way..

If you don’t sign a new lease, you automatically become month to month, also it says no pets!!!

she was also going to take on the kitten, has the floof and a rabbit

We don't know what is said behind the scenes but I do know my own working class parents would literally die of shame if they saw any of their children begging the way Jack does and both would sell a kidney if they thought any of their grandchildren might have to go without. I suspect Jack's parents are in an impossible position, if they speak out then they risk losing access to small boy, plus the grifting going to a new level "my family has disowned me here is a link to my Patreon". I do hope there is someone close to her willing to point out that what she's doing is wrong.

I think you are spot on
We had someone similar in my husbands family, and it was hell. Pointless trying to disagree as she was always right, and she never listened to anything you said and was deeply unpleasant so it was easier just to say nowt and keep the peace.

Just thinking if I was in Jacks position and had just been paid £10,000+ for faffing about on insta live, I would stick most of it in savings to put towards the dream of owning my own home (which she’s forever harping on about).
However if there really was a credit issue and owning was absolutely out of the question at the moment and you really were terrified of losing your home, wouldn’t you use it to put down 6months/a years rent and save yourself all the drama?
