Jack Monroe #92 Reverse Robin Hood, grifts from the poor to give to herself

[colouredlines]

Surely food strategy should involve nutrition as well as cost? Not sure where mayo scrambled eggs fits in TBH.

 

[Spanner]

But didn't Jack want to be an MP at one point?

This is always a cracker of an interview if you ever need a laugh

Does this mean the court case is officially off?

 

[Suprise!]

We went to Manchester Airport departure lounge, 10 miles away, and then went home! How bad is that? This is where you could be going, but you're not because you are poor.

Just de-lurking to say that I think I can beat that - my school trip was to Sellafield

The sheer arrogance thinking she's gonna be on Santas good list

Not eating sugar is going well.

When’s she eaten these then? Her cupboards were bare and none of these have featured in the £20 shop inventory.

How sad must your life be, how desperate for attention, that you are literally asking for lists of sweets just so you can see those notifications ping on you mobile(s)?

 

[Emmapism]

Don't you know she's secretly working on it behind the scenes? But she can't names names or say anything about it!

 

[Alansbigplate]

I wish I knew how to make GIFs. I’m having thoughts of Rowan Atkinson in Love, Actually, fannying about with the gift wrapping. “‘Tis but the work of a moment.” Coupled with the talents of @Alansbigplate I think it’s what Viv would have wanted.

Is it this? Never seen it and I hear it’s tit!

You do good work, my dearest. Staring into the jackerwocky’s lair day in and out. A neverending ride on the boiled sweet boat down Wonka’s psychedelic doom tunnel.

I think by working with him she's sent a few emails begging to be involved and had some polite responses from an admin. Give it a while and she'll never mention it again and when asked say she was dropped through no fault of her own.

Funny how she's been working on this for a year and not mentioned it once now she's working with him and can't discuss it.

I suspect if virtually anyone with a substantial social media following asked to be involved they'd say yes in order to use their followers to spread the word.

 

[Tabitha D]

She isn't a political reporter or a historian so what insight could she possibly think she could bring to the topic?

It’s the same arrogance that makes her think she’s in any way qualified to write a book about poverty.
Although that’s gone very quiet lately hasn’t it.

Pretty much sums it up

 

[kachoochoo]

if she has been involved with the national food strategy for over a year, which incidentally, seems to be made up of Tories and business people, you'd expect her to get a mention in their long list of people they've talked to wouldn't you? spoiler: she's not

But I wanted to meet Matt! This is so unfair!

 

[TurnedUpInTipp]

This kind of comment really winds me up. We also pay for teachers, nurses, doctors and heaven forbid you should go on Mumsnet and see the hatred for the former on there.

As if we should be paying for those people to work!!!!

Yes Jack, that is how our society works. I understand that some are paid more than others and you might not agree with the pay structure and think that a nurse should be paid more than an MP, but shouting like a child about how you pay for the tories to eat in the House of Commons restaurant is immature and short-sighted.

Well, if she hasn't paid her tax she hasn't even really done that, has she?

 

[Veronicaaa]

Wish my phone could store 13,000 screenshots, what data plan is she on?

Is it this? Never seen it and I hear it’s tit!

You’re a genius. There’s actually a bit where he says, “‘Tis but the work of a moment” which made me think of our Jackie. And yes, it is tit.

 

[Scarletfever]

My initial feeling was disappointment but if kids end up being helped then fair enough. She always lands on her feet, jammy so and so.

If she does work with MR then that may raise her profile enough to tempt a tabloid into an exposé?

 

[MarthaFarkus]

Rashford doesn't even follow her on twitter ffs.

She can even lie straight in bed!
