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

[FlashBoof]

FlashBoof! Yes! Thanks for the update.
Sorry for forgetting your name.

No worries - this place is super busy now and when it’s a Thread every 24-48 hours, it’s impossible to keep up!

Can anyone pinpoint exactly what it is which is about the MR campaign that is triggering Jack so badly her "mentals" are affected and she is unable to be on twitter due to it?

I mean obviously we know it's because he is showing her up very badly, but I mean in warped Jack-logic, does anyone understand what the issue is from her perspective?

Because it's what she should be doing/tried to make a name for herself doing, but he's actually doing it/doing it better.

Is that to make us look up how much they cost?

We've got to work for our gossip!

Thank goodness they don't get in the way of her photographing her latest slop food offerings.

I vote that it has polka dots on it

I think it'll be cats.

And the Cotswold sideboard for your plates and the trolley to take it all home in

Others in Southend have taken up the baton. Because Jack can't be arsed.

She's immunocompromised so must shield her ADHD with bills

The above makes as much sense as anything she'd say, so

I have an iPhone 11 ...and in my experience the ‘portrait mode’ is not that flattering!

It provides quite a harsh HD image, not the fluffy blurred face tuning Jackie claims it to have - certainly not without a few filter tweaks

Totally agree, I look horrendous in Portrait mode!

The 'who gives a crap' toilet roll ad pops up a lot for me!

I'm getting Parcel 2 Go ads

Oooofff. Looks heavy

Oh christ. She literally just pours a tin of tomatoes over some raw sausages. That's it. It's like a spoof

1. She even puts together lasagne, sorry I mean sasagne manically!.
2. She might get taken more seriously promoting her ingredients as 'own brand' instead of 'cheap' I'm broke.... but do I want to hear the words cheap, cheap, cheap and feel like I'm feeding my family cheap crap!
3. She's dead behind the eyes with no bubble or even simmer to her personality and that don't make me even want to forgive the overuse of the word cheap and raw sausages in a meal!

I concur, wasn’t it early nineties for thin brows rather than late? She’d have been 4!

Yes! I've had a bald spot ever since that I've got to fill in with a pencil

 

[ChampagneBox]

Anyone get the impression Jackie is a teeny bit upset? I know it's hard to tell cos she's so self controlled and placid.View attachment 286900

Surely the whole point is exactly that, that they’re easy to cook?? Eg simple minimal ingredients

 

[Missmopps]

A cast iron and mango wood table??? BRB I got some triangulating to do.

She dragged it all the way home from that magic puddle I’m sure...

 

[Buscake]

greedy goblin city?

Too right, I’m getting further from the end the more I grunk!

These threads are much like The Labyrinth, wouldn’t you say? You keep on grunking, turning back time - but there’s no sight of goblin city (the end of the these threads).

I know it isn't funny but can someone post that man on the beach fishing gif. It would bring me great joy after the rage of reading these fucking poor fishing tweets.

i know the one you mean, but I couldn’t find it so you stuck with the cheap version

I am hallfway through #93 at the moment so apologies if this has been said.

I was on the BBC site earlier and saw a news story about people who have been caught out by recently (?) changed tax rules. Basically it was freelancers and contractors who paid themselves a small wage (sound familiar?) and took the rest of the company profits from an offshore trust in the form of a loan, with no expectation it would be repaid. However, this loophole has now been closed and people now have to pay the tax on these "loans" dating back to 2010. A possible scenario for the belt tightening/increased grifting recently?

Hmm, she was talking the day about the rich not paying their taxes, another example of her hypocrisy?

Sorry, I don't know how to squiggle, but there is some really interesting stuff on this person's timeline. As Bristolian Brenda said "You're joking, not another one?" If someone can post with squiggles, please feel free to report this one for removal. P.S. Is there an easy way to squiggle without faffing?
