Jack Monroe #93 I can’t believe she’s no butter

[Captainmouse]

Oh god, she's gonna need to do something big to get some attention back on her but what? Ouchy mouthy? Toothache? Another black eye? Arthritis flare up? Will the walking stick make a reappearance? Perhaps that's why she's pulling everything out, she's looking for it ahead of this week's double trek to Asda for no apparent bleeping reason. Distinct lack of food pics this week too, what have they been eating?!

Sb is at his dads, she’s had Ocado ready meals

 

[Spanner]

Have to say I don’t think anyone need worry about SB. I despise a lot of what jack does but I think you need strong evidence to suggest that & it isn’t fair-my sister has been an absolute witch to me but she would never harm her kids. And the kitten thing was awful but I think that was Jack being too self obsessed rather than deliberate cruelty (didn’t help the poor little soul what the intention was though obvs).
Also he has a dad, half siblings etc but also whatever her faults I don’t think Jack is that evil. Just my opinion.

I agree. Also, I just don’t believe that she punched her brother or kicked a stranger in the shins. I think she’s lying to sound...cool? Hard? Riot girl feminist? In real life, I don’t think she’d say boo to a goose

I wonder how long it will be before we see anti-poverty moved further down the list (or removed) of her bio....and “neuro-diverse” / ADHD / Autism etc campaigner taking the lead? Seems like today is a bit of a red letter day for anyone proclaiming from the rooftops to being an anti poverty campaigner specialising in food poverty and availability. To completely ignore it is astounding behaviour from someone like Jack. When McDonalds, for Christ’s sake, are being more forward, when the top trends are “all up in your niche” on your favoured model of communication, and Jack isn’t in the mix at all, it has to be a big wake up call.

Her silence today is really is deafening.

SHE'S BUSY TIDYING HER 20X BIGGER MESS.

I would hope Patreon will get less and less as she becomes more and more irrelevant.

Clearly she can not afford to stay in that bungalow and if she does then we have to assume she is doing very well indeed from her scamming work.

Certainly she has very few Patreon subscribers when you consider how many followers she has. And I imagine the subscribers will drop off once they get fed up of waiting for her to send out the “slop of the week” postcards.
I don’t think the books generate much income (none have matched the sales of the first one), and big-ticket gigs like DKL are a thing of the past - she has only herself to blame for that.
What remains I guess is the website, which will still generate income from ads and affiliate links. That should keep her going for a while.

How unfortunate to have been forced to attend to urgent domestic chores when child poverty is in the news in this way. I will always wonder what might have happened if we'd had Jack's insights.

Fixed that for you.

Yesterday: pile on someone saying donate to food banks

Today: appear in a video asking people to donate to food banks

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Damage control perhaps???

 

[ChickenPorridge]

She might be on later thanking Marcus for all his hard work like he's working for her again. Or she might ignore it all completely and remind everyone once again that she has ADHD and autism. I particularly liked one of her followers commenting something not very nice about the "let's not put a label on it brigade". Is that the Vegan-ish brigade then? Pretty sure Jack was wailing a few days ago about not wanting to label herself when it comes to eating (cheap wet) meat

 

[Candytuft]

Yup. Thinking about her next scamming strategy. Scampering onto the ADHD/autism bandwagon. Like people who say oh, I must be a bit OCD well, duck you you can’t be a bit. It’s what’s called fussy, not OCD. You get my meaning?
She has obvious problems. Lucrative problems, nevertheless. Problems that people who question her validity dare not do so publicly. It wouldn’t do to question her would it ? The only people left would be those who go along with her.
And so it goes on. Kerching !

I agree.the way she treated that poor kitten as a photo opportunity was shockIng

but I don't think she was being deliberately cruel, just so caught upon her weird little fantasy of being a cat saviour she blocked out the obvious. And her so called friend of the a plus pass for kitty is also culpable.

I also believe she would never deliberately hurt her son.

It’s quite striking isn’t it. Somehow, when providing meals for kids in poverty is the most talked about topic of the day, with many many blue-tickers adding their voices (e.g. Katy Brand has raised over £50,000 in just a couple of days), Jack is NOT EVEN PART OF THE CONVERSATION. This just shows how irrelevant she has become.

 

[MancBee]

There is one thing that I do find perplexing. If her father does own various properties that he rents out, why does he not rent one to his daughter? Surely it makes sense to keep the rent money within the family. Why feather the nest of another landlord? Or does he only rent out more modest sized two and three bedroomed homes, not fit for the likes of Jack?

 

[Cuileann]

Quite. She and her like are fighting an ideological argument, an imaginary one that proposes a society we ‘should’ have. The argument that Krish makes is based on the society we ‘do’ have, right now. The ideological arguments being made are completely correct, and should be fought but at another time, preferably closer to an election. The point he’s trying make is yea, well, the government could be doing what is suggested but have just decided not to so, for now and for as long as they’re calling these shots, how about we come together and help kids who can’t bleeping wait until the next election.

Sorry, behind again, but I agree with this so much. It needs to be a two pronged approach. Jack is not incorrect to say that more should be done by the government/taxes should be put to good use, and I have not spoken to anyone who is anything other than utterly appalled by the way MPs voted yesterday (or was it the day before? Ugh, time) and people can and will speak with their ballot - but in the meantime, if we as a society as a whole just do nothing, children will literally starve. Is that what Jack wants? I'm so confused by her logic.

 

[AmTellinYa]

Several people have replied to her tweet about tidying & adhd/autism saying they have neither & yet do this.
I do it too and I have neither. Check the jackolyte having a go at this squiggle.
Why can’t jack just say she’s tidying & getting over ambitious like so many people do without having to always mention her ‘conditions’? Pity fishing? Lining up excuses in advance of her next duck up? Just another excuse to tell people she has them? It’s exhausting.

That reply shows that actually a lot of Jack's sheeples are in fact just as nasty and awful a human being as she is, with a total lack of self awareness. Birds of a feather and all that.

I'm finding Jack especially exhausting at the moment. Marcus Rashford on the other hand is giving me a bit of restored faith in human kind. What an amazing young man he really is, I even forgive him for playing for Man Utd (almost).

Saw this on another thread, reminded me of someone...

It also shows that she isn’t in with the in crowd. No matter how much she tries.
What a come down.
I wonder who the next Mrs J will be.

I wonder who the next victim Mrs J will be.

Fixed that for ya

..... with many many blue-tickers adding their voices (e.g. Katy Brand has raised over £50,000 in just a couple of days)

She is completely buzzing about it - can hardly shut her up right now. Well done, Katy!!
