Jack Monroe #94 It’s okay Jack, others have taken up the baton

[Raker]

Lol, saying a skincare product is responsible for your skin when it's clearly filtered to high heavens is nothing short of fraud but our Jack wouldn't know anything about that would she

Yes....have you visited the Sali Hughes threads @ChickenPorridge

 

[Lanie]

I've just had a thought doesn't anyone she knows drive? Her agent has her trolley could she not pop it round and leave it on the drive if she's worried about germs. I don't k ow where her agent is in relation to where she lives but if it's not a ridiculous distance what's stopping her? No one really does seem to put themselves out much to help her. If I had something my mate needed I'd pop it round.

One of those envelopes is for a vanquis credit card, they're for people who struggle to get credit and they pay handsomly for it

I think another one is Lombard who arrange business asset finance.

Seems Jack had a good grunk. And a hoot! Haven’t had a hoot for a while. View attachment 287481View attachment 287482

Why has Jack not shared that fundraiser previously? Or regularly? Surely it would be easier to donate directly rather than through gofundme?
Why am I so cynical?

In fairness Gizzi was on the ‘posting an overly filtered pic of yourself’ game in her stories today. Probably found it to be a confidence booster and told Jack to do the same going by that response.

It’s really sad and very harmful for young women specifically. And I’m really quite disgusted at both of them, especially considering they both have a tendency to be overly critical about similar issues in the past. Both of them are very much one rule for them and another for everyone else.

I’m not a fan but I know others are so sorry if offense is caused, but I find Gizzi can be a bit of a dick too at times. Not Jack levels obvs.

Ah! I don't follow Gizzi/don't really have any idea who she is to be honest but agreed. It can be seen as a bit of fun, given that usage of filters or Facetune is disclosed. Jack of course didn't reveal anything of the sort. Very dangerous, especially for someone who has set herself up as some kind of icon to many vulnerable people of all ages!

I actually worked with someone like Jack. They did no work but spent a lot of time talking about writing reports, saying that other larger effective organisations were coming to him for advice and direction. It was all horseshit of course. No one believed him. I think he did though.

Yeah me too. She tried to get me to do all her work and made out what she did do was too difficult and specialised for me to understand. I used to think she spent all day watching tv. When she managed to scam her way into management she spent the day micro managing me. I lasted a few weeks after that . She is very jack like. You cannot question the lady no no no . Only sycophants allowed. I just cant do that . My face gives me away. I just cant see how people cant see through ms munroe. I suppose I used to follow her and not realise and just dip in for updates but the constant barrage of boring inane crap and stupid photos of herself were enough to drive the most trusting benefit of the doubt kinda person here surely?

Can anyone which platform this is on?

The screen shot of the messages is on twitter. The poster has tweeted it at our planet friend and some other Jack naysayers. One of which seems to properly have the measure of Jack!

 

[Captainmouse]

The one that ended at either Southend United's training ground or Waitrose?
I assume they are in a bubble for whatever reason - back together or just as mates. As someone who lives on their own albeit with an idiot cat, I can totally understand the need for company. But for the sake of your taste buds bubble with someone who can actually cook!

Maybe Louisa is the better cook, or is bringIng takeaway or delivery, hence the proper bread the other week?

I googled 'jack Monroe cousin reddit' and this post from @PoorPatrol came up.

Tried to Google 'jack Monroe david Cameron reddit' and there are a few posts but I can't see all of the comments without an account.

Ooh yes, was reminded of this when the cousin Tweet surfaced. My thoughts were that it sounded like the same person, I’m pretty sure they said they no longer lived in England and that the mums were related, which made me think they might be in NI. I’ll see later if I can find it again. I don’t have Reddit, but had just clicked and clicked and clicked my way down the rabbit hole on a thread about her and David Cameron. I can’t remember exactly what was said, not much, but something about the way it’s written made me feel like it is the same person.

I bet ‘cast iron Mango wood table’ is getting hammered on Google

There's some really lovely ones

Someone needs to call in a welfare check on her.
I can't believe her parents just sit there and watch all this go down on twitter.
Didn't someone post the other day that after herself she retweets her mother the most?

It was replies. She replies to her two mums the most.

Bendan O'Neill is a wanker but this article is pretty spot on. Also I didn't realise that Jack's Sainsbury's gig was right after Jamie's - maybe it was her up in his niche all along!

Grim news: Sainsbury's signs up Jack Monroe, the Guardian's favourite poor person – Telegraph Blogs

Sainsbury’s has announced that it is overhauling its ads, replacing Jack-the-lad Jamie Oliver with a Jack-the-girl – Jack Monroe, a woman and food blogger who writes about how to make healthy and tasty meals on a tight budget. As a single mum who lived on very little cash before her blogs became...

Previous interviews / tweets said JM did all the cooking. But. Given why we are all here, this might not be true, or could still mean she forced slop onto a good cook!!
I thought she'd be quiet today after the outrage last night but thankfully there is always something going on. Southend seems to have more drama than Walford

 

[Oofadoofa]

it did. but he seems to be quite unpleasant. tory, landlord etc. oh, hang on! should be right up Jack's street!

Not right though, is it? Going after someone you disagree with on those terms. Predictable too, she’s done it before. She’s a thoroughly dislikable character.

Blame Thatcher and the Right to Buy, essentially large scale privatisation of housing with millions of shareholders. Offer bribes to tenants, who can blame them for falling for it?

Except their kids grow and join the council housing list, whoops! no houses! Not to worry, let's call in the private sector, they can fill the gap! Oh, no one wants to be a landlord. Not to worry let's take away secure tendencies and rent controls. Let the market decide.

Which brings us up to the late 1980s. Next chapter the stigmatisation of social
housing and it's tenants, with a brief trip into how many billions we have paid out in housing benefits to private landlords, and a side serving of ,'all the council housing is going to immigrants' woth documentary evidence to contradict this.

I wonder if Jack's families property business owns any ex council housing ? Would be interesting if it was the case the discrepancy between council average rent and private rental property

Sorry to drag the past up, but this was a month ago.

Lol.

Can’t wait. Truly, I really await the next phenomenon that blows every budget cookbook out of the water.
Bring it on, Jack !

 

[Tabitha D]

Her Trussell link has had over 50 donations since she shared it this afternoon. Prior to that, aside from one yesterday, was 26 days ago and then 2 months ago. Look at the positive impact she can have when she focuses on it.
A genuine

I just hope the money isn’t allowed to just sit there and it is sent over asap. I hope Jack can galvanise herself to sort the admin on that.

Yep. All her.

I can’t help thinking some of the squiggles are slightly taking the piss ...

Possible idea for next thread title?

Leave it with me I would be more than happy to show the likes of Jack what you can do on a budget! Won't involve the word cheap or raw!
