Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[poollounger]

Did she really just tell someone to use marscapone as a base for a risotto? The base for risotto is risotto rice and stock - not sure why you'd need marscapone in there

I mean who wants to eat a tinned peach curry?

There is something deeply unlikable about her/them/him (Whichever one is current). Very defensive. There was quite a big scandal with the Kickstarter book that people paid upfront for but took years to arrive. She made all sorts of excuses and lies about the delay. Lived in absolute squalor in her previous house (the kitchen was a complete fire hazard) but again was very defensive about it all.

 

[ChilliBean]

She always stresses in these sort of tweets “I was polite and calm” yet then takes to twitter almost in a sort of “do you know who I am?!” Sort of way!

Marina's posted some pics on Instagram. That's one hell of a long list of commissions in the background, yet Jack's still begging for money?

So the 'shitty bungalow' has a long dining table that could seat 8+, framed artwork on the walls (and her partner's BAFTA), a beautiful leather armchair and good amounts of light and space

Always looking for a fight and to kick up a stink ... it’s not classy is it ?

 

[Yel]

Oh I'd never checked out her instagram before. This made me laugh her going on and on about what's probably just frozen bananas and blackcurrants blended. She makes it sound as if her job is as hard as neuroscience.

Banana nicecream was a big thing 5+ years ago, it's been done to death.

 

[Stinkyminky]

I see her wife-to-be has just announced her pretty important new job - Head of News and Current Affairs for C4. Sounds like it should be well paid - I wonder if it will stop Jack begging for pennies now.

 

[Yel]

She's currently live in bbc news talking about her offering cooking advice. As soon as she came on i turned over.

Is she ever going to admit she's already profiteered massively from this? All the extra commissions, book sales, traffic to her website plus all the cold hard cash donations.

Not charging people doesn't mean someone is doing it for free most things are free to use online thesedays

 

[emmer_moans]

Still forgetting to # Be Kind I see. Nasty. Especially considering we are all suffering the effects of the pandemic! Jack needs to get a grip.

Edit: Tweet now gone.

 

[Chablis1]

Looks like she already knows about tattle! I’m glad someone called her out though

I’d pay NOT to receive a photo

 

[Yel]

I love how she thinks she's a legal expert now. Katie Hopkins tweeted something that was undeniably untrue and refused to apologise. The judge treated her like a media outlet as she has a huge following so she won the case and now thinks she's untouchable.

 

[IrishName]

This woman is drama after drama.

 

[Coffeetrampbiatch]

Her dads position wouldn’t have excused her from doing shift work. Flexible working In Emergency service roles Is dependant on the needs of the business so it’s likely they’d say no to her wishing to only work day shifts


Such a Tory opinion

i don’t need to ask anything else about you to already know you’re a Tory . Imagine poor people having tattoos?? You need to go back to MUMSNET

Can’t tell who you’re calling a Tory ??

I’m definitely not a Tory and my comment about her getting Tattoos before being in poverty was a defense of her because of a comment saying how did she have tattoos if she was poor. I don’t actually think poor people shouldn’t have tattoos either, but it winds me right up when people say that someone can’t have been poor because they have tattoos when it’s quite obvious that having the money one day doesn’t mean you won’t fall on hard times in the future. It’s as if people think you could sell your tattoos on eBay like a PlayStation or a designer bag!

She knows Jamie Oliver is an easy target so is comfortable to make those public statements. She wouldn't dare go after Nigella because she knows the public love her, even though she came from wealth with a father who was a Conservative politician, studied at Oxford etc.

 

[JulieScoobyDoo]

She really has shot herself in the foot with this one. She might have deleted those tweets but if you search Jamie Oliver on Twitter you can see people talking about it, search her name and the same thing happens. She has thrown her toys out of her pram and shown the world her true colours. That's the nail in the coffin for her and it is unlikely ITV will have her back now either.

 

[Ellabella]

Just read the Marina O'Loughlin article (who I normally love). The worst case of virtue signalling I've ever had the misfortune of reading.
"I’ve never really understood why TV hasn’t made more of her" because Marina, she's fucking dreadful in front of the screen (let's hope the media training she got others to pay for has worked).
And cooking tinned stewed beef for 12 HOURS? Must have had the texture of baby food.

 

[Spider12]

Kept seeing this name pop up and finally had a nosy on her instagram. Omg, how self righteous and full of herself is she?! Am I right in seeing that she’s asking her followers to send her tip money to her PayPal account?! With people losing jobs and taking pay cuts? She’s a right piece of work.

 

[Horatio]

Ah, but of course. Jack can't escape the Corona Virus unscathed. Of course she is immunocompromised so is in the highest risk category with the elderly, disabled and cancer patients.
So now her mental health is greatly suffering.

One of my immediate family is still going into hospital for their radiotherapy in the middle of all this because THEY HAVE TO.
They can't stay at home even though they are immunocompromised and tuck up like a hermit.
Shut the fuck up Jack. You don't have it hard at all.

She's literally asking for credit and recognition for doing the bare minimum. The type of thing usually practiced by that 'mediocre e white male' stereotype. Give me a break jack, this is a time for heroes and you aren't one of them.

 

[JulieScoobyDoo]

Does anyone follow Ryan Riley? He runs a cookery school for patients undergoing chemo because the treatment can alter taste buds. He’s built himself a studio at home and will be filming his classes himself now and releasing them for free

so Jacks excuses as to why she can’t do it on YouTube is absolute shite
