Jack Monroe #252 Dead People Can’t Find Apostrophes

[It’s The Truman Show]

Now saying all proceeds

Yeah she doesn’t understand what she’s writing though. Costs would have to be deducted (material and printers time etc). What an arse.

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

Soo if she's publicly said the TT are getting 3k so far, there's been a collective 15 grand or so spent on her crap today?

If Jack Monroe told me the sky was blue I would go outside to check.

Don’t believe a word she says until there is a receipt. Like that she’s donating all fees to the TT. Haven’t seen that yet either.

Really? Christ, that is sickening. So, it could be approx £12k in her pocket. Ugh.

Is that true?

I don't understand the slogan. Can someone explain please?

 

[jenny2603]

She's cut half the J off in her own signature ffs.

Even she can't bear to say her own name.

Shan't.

Seriously though, nobody has a scooby

ETA based on Jack saying she receives roughly 20% of each sale.

She’s got plenty coming in on Patreon. She’ll be on a full bank account high, it’s her pay day after all. She can let the TT have a little of her fortune for the happiness it gives her, short lived as it will be.

Hold on. Hold on. Economic fraus enter please.

Profits going to TT
All operating costs surely are going to Teemill?

What would she take?

(I don’t get the bread one either)

 

[ednaturnblad]

Oh no, sorry. I meant because Jack tweeted that the seller gets around 20% of the sale price from Teemill. So if she has 3k to donate, she must have sold around 15k in total.

 

[Gettingallfatandsassy]

Yeah she doesn’t understand what she’s writing though. Costs would have to be deducted (material and printers time etc). What an arse.

Yes, I'm not sure what % teemills take for being the fulfilment company but it's certainly not going to be the full £44 going to TT. She is hoodwinking people.

Unless Jack is covering the Costs herself

There is no way that many people have bought those monstrosities already. I don't believe her.

Ooh, youse guyse are on fire tonight !
Just wanted to pop in and say that my Irish husband was talking about a meeting he had today with someone who he hates.
The said colleague of my husband has a strong South London accent and my husband did an impression of him in his own version of a London accent.
He pronounced 'bleep' as 'caaaaant' and now I am deceased.
As you were fraus, as you were x

From South London. That checks out.

Roman poet.. 'Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt'.. Something like that.

 

[Vanelope]

Now saying all proceeds

She doesn’t know what proceeds are - bet you one dollar

 

[colouredlines]

I just want Chris from the FT to pop up and explain the difference between micro and macro.

FWIW the circus tshirt is a reference to the Latin phrase panem et circenses (bread and circuses). The idea is basically give the people food and something to entertain/distract them, and they'll be happy and docile.

As a slogan it - just like its creator - doesn't work.

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

So profits is a cloudy term here.

It could mean that Teemills are donating the profits they make to TT.

or she doesn’t understand the term/is using it incorrectly and it means she is donating the % Teemills gives to the creator (20%). They are HER profits.

 

[kachoochoo]

what about the pin badges and stickers and phone cases?!

oh yeah, they'll be cheaper so they won't ever happen

Transparent as a house brick, as ever.
