Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[Mokie]

She’s vile. She doxxed me publicly on her IG account when I called her out on something a couple of years ago. At the time I stupidly had my real name vaguely linked to my Insta and she managed to pull a news article about me and posted about it with my full name and location.

Looks like YouTube videos are coming

She just did another article in the Guardian. I think it’s been a year now. She has fallen off the wagon a few times though.


I’ve never understood how someone becomes eligible for affiliate links.

Anyone can use them, it’s not just for influencers you could use one when sending a dress you like to a friend or whatever.

I watched one of the episodes of Jamie’s programme today, I thought it was great and a perfect fit for him. Though before that I watched Saturday Kitchen where they gave her a nod for her larder thing, but also said they are doing something with her soon! She fails to have mentioned that unless I’ve missed it.

 

[CoconotLoco]

Doesn’t exactly fit in her carefully curated image of benign poverty she been pegging to people.

 

[YellowLadybird]

She identified as non-binary so you were right on that part. And given how little she discussed it after the Guardian article about it, who knows how long it all lasted in real-life.

Yeah I didn't want to erase anyone's identity, I'm as pro LGBT as the next sane person, but everyone in the thread was using she and the whole thing just didn't add up!

Jack is so strange.

It was down earlier, (and still seems to have an invalid certificate). They mentioned on Twitter that they were trying to get the site back, but I do hope they fix the certificate.

Maybe the influencers were on a black ops mission to hack the site and reveal our true identities

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Unless she's turning over more than £10m a year, she doesn't have to file a profit and loss statement, so we probably won't find out.

Small companies don't have to file their P&L either, we never have & my husband was one of those lone employees of a Ltd company (that HMRC clamped down on with IR35). We'll likely only see her balance sheet but from that we can get an impression of where she stands, and I'm in complete agreement it will not be the living wage & fucking spag hoops with chick peas!

 

[Catwinky]

I was excited to see there's a thread on him/her just now. I first heard of her through this video a few years ago. Starts at 0:56

She has quietly dropped the him/they non-binary part of identity and gone back to identifying as a woman it seems.

 

[Chablis1]

The show hasn't even been on her for her to know what is and isn't on it? As yet, we have no idea if it infringes on her brand / her recipes / anything else she has a claim to. It's like when people protest against films or TV shows they haven't seen but have heard will offend them. So much outrage before anyone knows what the deal is.

She’s getting to be quite tiresome now.

 

[OhhBacon]

The press are preety scathing of dodgy tweets, when her show comes out I can see someone have a look through her behaviour.

 

[Hunty]

Now here’s some great, simple, nourishing recipes for a lockdown. I like Anna Jones. In the article comments someone mentions her carrot dahl - can confirm its good.

Now those sound like tatsy and interesting recipes unlike the shite that Jack comes up with, which let's face it aren't even recipes it's just bung a load of cans in a pan and heat, Ive not read any of her books or seen that many of her 'recipes' to be honest but the ones I have seen just sound vile

 

[Doobots]

If I remember correctly she was using they / them pronouns, binding her chest, and taking testosterone. While I don't think anyone needs to explain their choices to anyone, that she announces every other change in her life and hasn't said anything about it all is odd.

 

[Mustard]

She’s got a nerve begging for money when not even 24hrs earlier on her Convid rant she replied to someone saying she’s just paid their wedding deposit. Oh she must be really hard up . Literally has no shame.
Absolute tramp.

I just saw that after looking at Twitter. And, she was grumbling about her partner working from home.

 

[tagliatelle]

And as if that all isn’t after money has been put aside for tax etc.

Not to mention £8/hr doesn’t need to stretch as far when you are being sent free stuff all the time.

And when a lot of things, perhaps quite legitimately, can be claimed as business expenses. Then that £8/hour becomes a lot more like play money.

 

[Mustard]

Sick & tired of hearing her go on about all this free work so went to companies house beta, shockingly she's never posted accounts (they're overdue)?? She only registered the company in 2018, I feel like she's been around for years & years though?

Link for anyone that's interested, there's nothing there: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11259997

Someone should tweet that to her.

 

[pink321]

Does she actually think she can bully her way into getting an established tv career??

 

[Heyholetsgo]

I haven't seen the Jamie programme but tempted to watch it now. I did see him on the end of Southend Peir and he stopped for a photo with a fan, seemed like a good bloke!

 

[ChilliBean]

She's singing now

I came here to post that too!

I think some of her recipes are good but her hands always look so dirty in her Instagram posts it just puts me off

these are the sort of posts that made me start to wonder about her. Self centred and bit strange tbh. She must have made some cash from her book sales surely ???? Maybe she’s a gambler ?

Don't give her ideas
