How can lanolin be vegan? I’m allergic to it so.......

Ohhh poor Jack

I vote that it has polka dots on it

That's the one I posted .

On the plus side she's lodged a decent tune in my head (subsequent Morrissey nastiness aside):



I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, and it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye kick your shins

I’ve got
its all about me,
it’s all about me baby
going round and round

I do not need to see that on a Saturday morning

Saw this and thought of you, @crystaleyesd! https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...says-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-manchester-united

Did the Frau who wrote and asked why Jack hadn't been mention alongside Marcus, given that she had tweeted that she was working with him but couldn't mention it yet, ever get a reply?
I'm really sorry I can't remember who it was.

I messaged the Henry Dimbleby food action thingy on their contact page....no response yet, I am afraid.

To be fair I’m the same age as Jack. Thin brows were still big in the 00s when we were teens. I know a few girls our age who have ruined their brows.

Personally I a) didn’t overdo it because I was an unfashionable outcast And b) have very hairy eyebrows wouldn’t surprise me if Jack was similar and is exaggerating how much she plucked them at the time. And getting her decades wrong.

Why does she think she’s in her 40s?

I stand corrected, mine didn’t really grow back after 1994!

She brings a whole new meaning to "finger food".

A Finger Buffet!

The ads

Ha, I’ve been getting “Skin by Kylie (Jenner, I wish!)” and hair transplant ads....

I do have one concern though what about bread etc. If her kids coming back tonight surely he will need some bread. Perhaps his dad will bring him with some.

Sorry but bread and milk are the two things I literally ensure I have in, screw everything else. If I have those I am ok. I don't know why that is. I've always been like that.

It's always confuses me when people say they have run out of these things or have none in for days. I see my milk get to a certain point and I will go to any shop to get more.

You obviously don't have any acronyms on your ailment list then!

 

[Breakdance Badass]

Can anyone which platform this is on?

It’s on Twitter. No idea as it’s not stated and that’s what makes me think it’s a set up

it isn't vegan

 

[LavaFlake]

I have a few of their things!

I use their Renew day and night cream and its less than a fiver for both pots! Couldn't recommend enough tbh.

She looks nothing like this irl! View attachment 286411

Her eyes look very like the actresses from the devil wears Pradas in this photo. I never noticed that before.....

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...

Have to agree, have no knowledge of B O'N but he has JM summed up!

 

[instacharlie]

I couldn't decide if this tweet was a subtweet aimed Jack, or aimed at the heartless right wing Tory bastards... *theatrical shrug*

On another note, Jack's up to 362 patrons on Patreon now. I think someone said earlier the number of patrons was hidden, but I can see it still.

Would love to know if any of the patrons has received the "thrifty shades of beige" recipe cards yet. Going to assume not, as Jack would RT/reshare to drive more patrons signing up.

Well that's interesting! When I quoted @Saint_clemmie earlier I couldn't see the Patreon number either.

Not enough eyeshadow.

It'll be play-doh and lego for this!

'I've shut down my tip jar for now so people with a bit of spare cash can put it somewhere useful '
Sorry...wishful thinking

I know. But it is a step in the right direction. Hopefully it will encourage donations.

I like to see Jack doing the right thing, even if I have doubts about her motives.

 

[Sentient mirror]

The thing is she will probably be targeted by actual trolls now even though she has been caught out.
I worked really hard in my job today. I’m fortunate to be working from home but I worked. My team helped people, I was able to take 15 mins in the afternoon and saw the thing about the fancy table injury. So predictable. No £20 shop.
mm I think that long Covid Hattie person is one of her accounts also

Ooooh when I quoted that tweet about Marcus having a piss and a sandwich I automatically presumed Jack had written it. I didn't even realise it was under the long covid Hattie name. Oooooooooh
