Jack Monroe #144 The man from Strictly, he say No

Spoiler: OT beauty chat

The Sali Hughes threads are mainly chat about products, the posters over there can give a full appraisal of any supplement, device, facecream etc if you want some expert opinions. Also there is occasional Sali chat, but she is “dull of life” so it’s kept to a minimum

Yes I was trying to work out how she is a “second generation” immigrant as both her parents are from the UK, and AFAWK only one of their parents is a “forrin” (fairly likely if he moved from Cyprus to UK it was whilst it was still under British rule) so I don’t see how she can claim she is (apart from “jimmy nail gif” she”s lying)
relevant as this week’s activism twattery and ID appropriation looks like it will be “immigrants”

Yeah this, and we all used to call each other 'Joey Deacon' at our school, absolutely shameful in retrospect.

Problem was that those in charge didn't clamp down on this sort of thing, too - at my school you'd get a real bollocking for swearing but I honestly remember a kid using the word 'fa--ot' in a classroom and our teacher just laughed it off. I was born in 87 so this was probably towards the end of the nineties/early 2000s.

I think things are a lot better today in terms of prejudice in schools, thank God.

In one article about her transition, it was claimed that her voice was now an octave lower. I'm not musical, but isn't an octave quite a big difference? And I don't hear any difference in her voice between now and before allegedly taking testosterone.

She also has no evidence of male pattern baldness, rough skin, big jaw or brow bone, or any other things that develop with T use.

Edit: so she claims that she has a few extra hairs on her chin that will never go away. Has she not heard of electrolysis? Everything is so dramatic with her.

She would have only been heard by mice and small children at that pitch, going by the current levels.

Few hairs on her jaw? That's called ageing. Just wait until she's 40.

Diva, here you go, will post diff articles separately x

You're amazing, thank you! My favourite part is the caption on third photo... in diva mark 1 "Not about to shut up" aged well.

Re diva mark 2: Someone will almost certainly have clocked this but - "something's cooking" ?! Also waaaay more than a few people have said this but I finally see it myself, Jack was at her happiest during the Allegra year(s) for sure. First time I've seen her smile reach her eyes. Whether that's down to Allegra herself or just being with a famous millionaire...I will leave up to the reader.

Diva mark 3, the columns

I take it back @discolisa you've ruined my day and my next grey hair will be down to these columns. Why won't she stop talking about the cock drawer? Esp at the same time as her son. Why are these stories all so ridiculously unrealistic ??? I feel dirty I'm off to scrub my nails

 

[PoorPatrol]

Why did none of her imaginary investigative journalist friends ever come at Jack over her anti-Semitic Lockdown/Nazi propaganda thing? I can still hardly believe there was no consequence for it. I know this article is for higher levels of tit, but it’s not a million miles away.

Yep its completely normal for women to have some facial hair. Certain conditions like pcos can aggravate that. Also women with dark hair are more prone to it too especially women from the Mediterranean region. It's not just chunky arses you have to worry about. I'm half Swedish and naturally blonde but I still have a faint moustache and mono brow if I don't pluck. Also for some weird reason I get three black hairs that persist to grow on my neck. They look like individual pubes I pluck them but they come back every time. I'm not too bothered, not enough to get laser treatment. Main thing is I'm clean and presentable and most important of all, my nails are trimmed and clean.

Second gen tends to only be used as a shorthand for “first family generation raised speaking English” in my area, so Jack wouldn’t be included at all. Obviously different communities/areas may have different usage, but it’s the only time I tend to hear it (and it’s relevant in my work sometimes)

As an #actualimmigrant I find her talking about any immigration issue where she centers herself (i.e. every time she opens her mouth), bleeping offensive. There are some situations that are relevant to immigrants (legal stuff, access to NHS, work, etc.). These issues only pertain to actual immigrants AND for many immigrants (white, European, etc.) they amount to nothing more than a bit of beaurocracy. Of course for immigrants from certain countries, the experience is very different and much harder.

Then there are issues that relate to certain communities, some of which have more obvious immigrant backgrounds. These issues are varied, depend hugely on the community and context and are linked to race, religion, culture, etc. I don't even like calling these issues 'issues', as we are not always talking about problems.

Anyway, I'm not making much sense, because I'm so annoyed, but my point is that if you are white and born in the UK, and your parents were born in the UK, you are NOT part of an immigrant community in any meaningful sense. I mean, I'm pretty sure my husband is partly Viking, but I can't see how that affects anything now.

Sometimes I look at the world and think it’s getting worse but I remember this kind of behaviour at school in 90s too. It is cheering to think how much better schools deal with prejudice now and I hope it carries on influencing behaviours when the children leave school.

I went to school in the 00s and was regularly told by RS teachers that all gay people were going to hell. There were no openly LGBTQIA people in my school year (lots have come out since) and heaps of slurs bandied around as insults... and that was 15-20 years ago.

We've come such a long way in that respect.

I don't really get why white bread is such a big deal? Sure, it's processed as hell but so is pretty much all shop-bought bread? Unless you're making bread yourself or buying from an expensive local bakery, your loaf is going to be a product of the Chorleywood process. Besides, a lot of kids love that processed crap, and some are so picky that they have to rely on it, lest they go hungry. It's a cheap processed carb and fills your kid up more than crisps and sugary treats do, so I don't see the issue unless SB is quite literally living solely on bread?

As a nutritionist, it's always preferable to have wholegrains as they contain more nutrients, more fibre, whereas white bread will have more sugar. Obviously, getting brown bread into a kid is difficult, but bread in general should only be eaten in moderation because it tends to be so filling that people (especially children) can feel full up and not eat enough food with more nutrients in it that they need.

Why has she got a table in the kitchen? She's clearly standing the other side of it.
The kitchen is long and narrow. Why would you block the flow? There's plenty of work top.

It'll be the set up from when she was filming the other day. Maybe she's still filming

Going back to this, one of forensic fraus identified her pyjamas as the source of the floffle, but I am gobsmacked that she has attempted to pass it off as an original, by her son, to the robot people, why would you do that?

WHO TOOK THE PHOTO? PLEASE, I need to KNOW!

This is what she had to say about it. Full article at http://www.eyeslikeplates.com/2020/...-is-to-go-back-to-working-at-the-supermarket/

So she knocked all her military edges off? OK...

 

[HotesTilaire]

Glad to see @Alansbigplate around. Was wondering where you’d been

 

[Missmopps]

I have a Philips lumea but having looked online, my model isn’t showing,

I have one too, it’s probably about six years old now so I’m sure the new models are better technology. If I was organised and did it every week on my chin it would work but i’m not. I did however, do it faithfully on my underarms and there is very little hair left now six years later. I’m definitely going to zap my chin once/twice a week from now on as they are getting worryingly worse.

 

[PortiaControl]

Thank you! I love you! So glad to have you back

I fully agree with you here. I'm technically an African immigrant, but when people who were born in Senegal or Morocco start talking about their experiences, it would be grossly inappropriate for me to pipe up with, "Oh yeah, I know just what you mean" because I don't. I'm a white South African with English as a first language, a European passport, and a university degree. My experiences are entirely different from most immigrants here, and I would never present myself as the face of Africans in Catalunya, because it would be insane.

In other words: shut up Immigrant Jack, just go back to making hilarious slop please

My anti-white bread comments are coming from a place of seeing WB being one of the few things she ever posts about him eating. White bread, eyelid sausages, bacon scraps, lard, cream cheese, cheese slices. Anything given to him that’s not on that list is slop. She also (apart from today) usually buys the cheapest white bread in existence, that’s somehow like rubbery toilet paper.

My kids had white bread this morning. They usually have wholemeal, but white goes better with bacon sandwiches. They have meat rarely and I bought free range, nitrate free bacon because I’d rather them not have it at all than it be low welfare crap. I just think the grim food she gives him is representative of both her tit cooking skills and her priorities.
