She was given shoes to pair to keep her out of the way. How she doesn't see that is a mystery.

I have very close friends that were there. She is a bleeping ghoul.

Re the picture of Jack in fire kit. Not wishing to myself but sometimes when you join the fire service in a ‘non-operational’ role you get to spend a day with a crew to gain insight into the role. They let you try on the kit, have a go with breathing apparatus and often stick you in a car and cut you out etc. You don’t go out on a shout. I suspect that picture is from when Jack spent the day shadowing. But of course the picture adds weight to her being an authority on fire regulations etc. In the same vein as her being an authority on poverty when she was only on benefits for a short time.

She really is pond scum. Every bleeping thing has to be about her howling. People burned to death in their homes, no one gives a flying duck about the histrionics of some stupid middle class waster who squandered every bleeping break she's been given in life.

My favourite nickname for Jack is Cunty Boo.


Scrolling through her insta, there are lots of photos of family members, particularly her son. None of them have faces edited out. For someone who has a stalker, she isn't that bothered about internet safety.

There's also a lot of photos where she's very close to people, arms round, touching etc. I thought she hated being touched?

 

[Professor Slop]

So, fraus, I just decided to have a glance at the Hellmann's debacle since I wasn't around at the time. Started at number 1. Why have I spent 5 minutes watching her arse about flapping on about tidying and being a general whiny panicky mess? Surely she had a start time; was she late? I'm assuming she stops arsing about at some point and starts destroying cooking food. Some of the comments are providing entertainment while I wait so at least there's that.

Also I accidentally watched the trailers for the show first and they were horrendous. Why didn't she edit her gormless face switching the camera on and off at either end of the video? Surely that's the basics, don't include yourself operating the camera unless it's part of the show?

ETA: Oh my bleeping god, just got to the freezing technical problems. What a shitshow.

If you could call boiling potatoes and dousing them in mayo cooking... (this is literally all she does)

You're assuming wrong

Love this, thank you for doing it, excellent resource to come back to!

No link as such, I’m a lowly Frau who is tit at keeping receipts. I’m sure others will back it up, though. She definitely inserted herself. The issue with Jack is that she’s a serial deleted. When I just did a quick Google of JM Grenfell, most of the tweets were gone.

You'd think that Gold Command (which one of Mr D's mates was part of, due to their - ahem - extensive body of work in the area) didn't exist, wouldn't you?

Even Mr D's father, who was part of the disaster planning/military & civil defence structure for their city (which included a major atrategic military target) decades ago, said that a major concern in the event of a disaster was finding stuff for rubberneckers, Walts and do-gooders to keep them out of trouble or making things worse, so in his opinion, what they needed was fewer people with no legitimate reason for being there, not more; admittedly, he also muttered that this was the reason why curfews get enacted.

 

[Bugger13]

I never saw the Hellman’s either. Just had a look at her insta. Anyone else seen ‘dressing room disco hair’?
The cheeky smiles, the embarrassing overacting that she can’t find a hair band-it’s the sort of thing that anyone with an ounce of self awareness would delete immediately, deleted deleted & then burn their phone & bury the ashes just to be sure.
She actually posted it publicly. Mind. Blowing.

 

[Professor Slop]

Still no cooking done but this comment gave me a giggle.

I hope no-one is touching her magic wrist.

 

[Oofadoofa]

Further looking back through Jacks IG (look, I have a baby who’s not sleeping and I don’t know what else to do with my late nights right now so duck off) and she seems to only a few years ago be on quite good terms with the brother from Potatoes, no?

My god it’s exhausting how obsessed she is with her proving teachers wrong narrative, though I love that she hasn’t forgotten to shoehorn herself into someone else’s success.

It's Friday!! duck Jack Monroe, have a good a weekend everyone!

 

[Emmapism]

@colouredlines commendable use of footnotes. Gotta love a forensic Frau. See that Jack? More organised than anything you've ever done in your entire life.

Whilst we are vaguely still in the vicinity of The Day Today discussion- one of my absolute favourite Steve Coogan sketches was the pool supervisor. I still quote it to this day and my eyes light up like a thousand wool suns whenever anyone gets the reference

Well this is interesting, while I always though her poverty was a bit self imposed in the sense she didnt reach out to a loving family etc I didn't realize it was all mostly bollocks, I mean two months out of work and shes doing a blog about it ? hmmm
