Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[Veroni79]

Why do other people not see through this woman? I don’t get it

I don’t know it really stresses me out her behaviour is so vulgar and she’s such a massive liar but people just creep around her! It’s mind blowing!

 

[Satisfying Click]

She actually believes she can destroy the Wilkos empire if she threatens to hold her breath like a toddler

 

[Apples87]

I don’t actually mind them selling prints, it’s an actual product so what they want. It’s grinding my gears that she’s saying “boohoo it’s hard for freelancers” it’s hard for EVERYONE, write some fucking articles or something, at least you have the option to do some work from home to replace the work you lost. I hope she fucking sees this. Lots of love, an actual working class woman who has to go into work.

 

[JellyWobbles]

I feel this might be a hint at her getting an autism diagnosis?

also a few tweets later she refers to herself as Cypriot!

night not talk about it but here I am vaguely talking about it cos I need attention!

 

[Mokie]

I’ve never been JO’s biggest fan but watched last night and found him reassuring. He’s confident, self assured, familiar. This is what we need in this time. We want comfort food and that’s what he delivered.

 

[Jelly Bean]

One of her 'recipes' yesterday was frozen veg stirred into tinned macaroni cheese .
How fucking disgusting.

 

[Catwinky]

Lol what’s wrong with Matt?! Slightly arrogant I guess but don’t think he’s too bad?

Intrigued to see how this show pans out!

It'll pan out like this: Matt will do well and present a cooking show with random interjections from a mumbling, shaking greaseball in the corner.

 

[JulieScoobyDoo]

Tin cans might be her thing but being on telly isn’t. People won’t watch it, I’m assuming it’s Channel 4 because most people haven’t heard of her. People have heard of him though and advertisers will want a part of it. None of them will be interested in advertising on a show she’s fronted she’ll have a very low viewer count She was beside herself with worry about doing a slot on Thos Morning for a few minutes, how could she front a show for a number of weeks?

if she thinks she can host a prime time TV show she’s deluded

 

[poppycat]

She's so in your face and aggressive, just what we don't need. I'd imagine on her own show she'd start each recipe with an anecdote like the time a pimp spat in her mouth and she got hepatitis, or other stories she's picked up from the telly.

If she's claiming to be crippled with arthritis and needs a stick...
Seems odd that on International Women's Day she shared a photo of her public speaking, giving a speech stood on tiptoes throughout. Boasted that she has done it this way for years as can do it for 12 minutes... Strange that

Good liars need good memories and she constantly forgets the lies she's told so contradicts herself all the time.

 

[Yel]

No spoilers in the comments = make sure everyone has to go the website so Jack gets plenty of ad money whilst announcing her new paid gig.

I thought she was always complaining about how much it costs to host her website without charging people so surely she wouldn't want more visitors giving her more ad money

The site will go down and she'll ask for more money to host it

 

[Debarkle]

This is the issue I have with Jack, they never follow through with anything. Remember when they were going to stand to be an MP?

I know some people find Joe Wicks annoying but at least he’s actually done something? Why can’t Jack do what Joe has done? He’s gone out and bought any professional lighting he needs and is doing it in his living room and will probably get a TV show off the back of it. What is stopping Jack from doing that in the kitchen?

Did anyone else see on the day the brexit vote was done, Jack said they spoiled their vote? This never gets mentioned any more.

 

[rosemarina]

fought hard to teach people you can use long-grain rice for a cheap risotto

This is beautiful, I can’t stop laughing. It’s like a parody account.

 

[Jelly Bean]

6 days ago she posted she was immunocompromised and couldn't leave the house.
All immunocompromised people recieved letters saying not to leave the house for 12 weeks.
But now its ok for her to go out??
She's such a fucking liar.

Well aware this is utterly bitchy but I do hope she washes her hair before appearing on television. That combined with coconut milk and spaghetti hoops might tip me into never eating again

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Just gonna leave this here

 

[pink321]

This attention-seeker and egomaniac is now jumping on practically any news article to stay relevant, and has commented about her supposed DD boobs being unaffected by not wearing a bra. This is in response to a Sun article on Twitter which says not wearing one makes them saggy, which according to jack, doesn't apply to to her magic faux-poor mammaries. No-one wants to know, you sad mare.

 

[avabella]

Came across this thread - and am so glad! This woman gets right on my nerves - making out like she lived in the depths of poverty and it's all the Tories fault. I don't believe a word she says. She's happy to be raking it in now and I dare say she has PLENTY of good advice on how to minimise her tax bills don't bite the hand that literally feeds you Jack!

I see she's become all 'Instagram friendly' looking now too.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

And her vendetta becomes clear... she really is a nasty piece of work.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

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

This sort of stuff is what makes me think she grew up cushty ...She's being purposefully obtuse, I would have said her Twitter = branding for her, but she actually has THREE channels to convert to £ for her (Patreon, Paypal, and her wesite where I assume you can buy books?). On top of that it is a branding exercise, all time spent engaging grows her audience & brand awareness thus will increase book sales / sponcon rates / opportunities (no TV for her tho oops xo). She's right her Twitter isn't behind a paywall so is free at point of access, but it's disingenuous to act as if she doesn't see any monetary yields off it. I cba to check if she has Google Analytics on her site but I'm going to guess she does, so she'll even be able to quantify what % of traffic and what % of conversions (if there's a check out on site) are via socials. I resent these influencers that act as if we're thick and don't understand how their market works, it's been over a decade of Twitter now we're all savvy hun.

Also the 20 hour work days, a lot of high level execs will count things such as working lunches, golf, travel time, meditation in their office, a yoga class with the company yoga instructor, a suit fitting for an industry event, etc as 'work time' and I suspect she's doing the same & then exaggerating those hours. Has she ever had a proper job where you can't spend all day on Twitter?

 

[poppycat]

Ah wow. Although she's saying 'people laughed at Jamie for using capers but I actually like them' sort of justifying her also using them it's such a backhanded dig. "oh how we laughed at Jamie" - remember to laugh at him people! I'm much more credible please like me! Really pathetic.

Do the newspapers who commission her 'recipes' feel ok about her spitefully slagging off another chef/food writer (not that she could be described as either)? Can't remember any other food writer doing this, it's so unpleasant.
And have they really paid someone to write a 'column' which is no more than 'empty contents of 2 tins into a bowl, tip in some capers and oil, mash then put them on toast'? What do they imagine we have been doing with tins of sardines before being shown the light by Ms Monroe? Staring at them in horror, puzzled about how to eat them?

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I watched some of Jamie’s recent programmes this week and think he did a fine job. Gave me quite a few ideas. A cake without eggs, and the padded out tomato sauce were just two.

He's a consummate professional, the only time Jack is a professional anything is when she's playing the victim, which seems to be every minute of the day. She should be called Hack Monroe
