Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[Catwinky]

She deletes so many tweets. I read one last week about Jamie Oliver owning a huge multimillion pound house in London while she’s stuck renting a “shabby bungalow”. Went back later and couldn’t see it.

She has always been a rampant deleter of tweets. She uses it to gaslight people who criticise her so when they point out something she has said she tweets out she never said it and lets her deranged sheep followers pile on the poor soul who dared question her.

The judge even commented on it summing up the katie hopkins case.

Not surprising at all that she's telling people to be better and not clobber other people on twitter.

But still it's astounding she takes a holier than thou stance

Oh fuck off. When you’ve liked tweets referring to Jamie as “That Man” and allowed you followers to bundle on to him?! Just fuck off

 

[Heyholetsgo]

She could still have a got a cake, I got one the other day, nobody is stockpiling cakes!

Agree just another chance for her to make it all about her

It’s so sad that people are getting sucked into it.

I feel so sorry that she's conning people out of money that need it far more than her. Her website has adverts on and and is probably making quite a lot along side the constant begging bowl on her site.

How can she have a successful media career, popular website with adverts, so many followers, several books, over 160 patreon supporters, undeclared affiliate links and yet days in to a crisis she's now making out like she's about to be homeless.

She'll say it's because she charges so little she's virtually working for 50p an hour .

It's all part of her persona that a couple of events cancelled and she's slipping into poverty.

Two weeks or so ago she was saying she always splurges on expensive things when she gets a book advance so that she has something of value to sell should times get tough again. For her third book it was a Burberry trench coat and a Burberry leather jacket.

I guess she has forgotten about that now.

 

[Yel]

It's nauseating the entitlement and all the people stroking her ego. "You're a hero", "Jamie Oliver needs to fuck right off", "this is your gig".

I hope no one gives her a show because of this behaviour.

If she was smarter and a better person she would work on showcasing why she is a good choice rather than spending her alleged 20 working hours a day by being a bitch on twitter. Maybe she knows she has no ability to front a show and starting a gang mentality pile on twitter is her best shot for her dream of a TV show.

All this because she thinks she's got a god given right to be the one and only authority on budget cooking.

It’s odd to me that she thinks people chatting about her on a forum that she definitely doesn’t read and doesn’t go looking for is acceptable, but sees no issue with launching a hate campaign against JO literally just because he’s a bigger name and she’s jealous. Her behaviour is so bizarre.

 

[MissTeddy]

It’s bloody criminal for someone like that to take money off someone who can ill afford to give it. I’m sorry but if she’s on the poverty line after several book deals + tv appearances + web advertising then she is wasting her money or managing it extremely badly. Either way she should not be begging for more. Silly girl.

Possible new thread title, check out my originality here guys ..... Jack Monroe bootstraptwat

All hail jack who is defying the laws of science with her 26000 steps and the recipes with tiny portion sizes that wouldn't even sustain a sedentary person. She'd need at least 5 portions of her 28p curry for one meal with that kind of exercise level

She thinks that she invented a recipe by copying someone else's and changing fresh carrots to tinned carrots. Who even buys tinned carrots? They're more expensive per gram than the fresh ones that last month's in the fridge. I get you might be given them at a food bank, but you'd be better off just eating them rather than dumping in a pan with spaghetti hoops and hoping for the best.

I honestly don't see it as bullying. Jamie Oliver is a household name with a cookery empire. Jack Monroe is a loud voice on twitter. I see her as a small yappy dog barking at his heels. I doubt hes particularly bothered if he's even aware at all. When you're famous as long as he has been, your used to public criticism. Jack may see herself as a celebrity not member of 'the public' but I doubt Jamie does.

She's got her 250k followers to target Jamie on comment sections and social media platforms all over the internet. Just because jacks is lower profile doesn't make it any more acceptable. It's a disgusting way to behave, she's literally trying to tear someone else down for her own benefit.

 

[Yel]

From her latest Metro article. I think she believes that she sounds clever and funny, but she just comes off as snippy and unpleasant

She's constantly in arguments that no one is making other than herself. She says she's fought hard for people to not think they have to use arborio rice for a risotto. But she's also tweeted that arborio rice is best for a risotto to make it creamy.

We all know you can use less expensive ingredients. I made a cake with a teaspoon of 69p Lidl vanilla extract because I can't justify buying vanilla pods. She expects praise on her doorstep for replying to a basic argument that she instigated.

Just makes me think she lives in a make believe bubble.

We're in almost war time efforts, no one is taking about what varietys of wheat or rice to cook with, other than jack.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

I know her family, she is a raving bell end!

Don’t stop there...

 

[rosemarina]

“Banging out free stuff”. Where’s her MBE? She’s a national fucking treasure.

 

[Apples87]

“Paying yourself” £8 an hour while the rest sits safely with your accountant or in savings is NOT the same as getting £8 an hour and living payday to payday. Also 20hours a week is very much part time Jack you sanctimonious little prick. You can take your tins and swivel.

 

[megsmagoo]

Does Jack even want to a tv show or is she annoyed she wasn’t asked?

I would 100% rather watch Jamie Oliver, I like his shows (apologies to those who dislike him ) and think he’s someone people would find more comforting in this time

 

[Yel]

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

This is my favourite quote, of course you can use any old rice for a risotto. It just won't be as starchy and creamy no fighting is required.

 

[nco88]

It's glaringly obvious shes work shy. Claiming 15-20 hour work days, doing so much. Wants the easy way out to stand/shake in front of the camera while someone else produces. Every excuse under the sun. Nothing but a keyboard warrior.

I love chickpeas but I’m never fucking stirring them into spaghetti hoops.
