Jack Monroe #252 Dead People Can’t Find Apostrophes

[Nottonightbabe]

I hate to say it but I think Jack invented the saying. I couldn’t find it attributed to anyone on tinternet, although I’m a total boomer so someone else should check. It’s a Fack Jonroe quote. I feel sick.

Ah I took a look earlier on Twitter and saw it mentioned by someone else, regarding a news story. Looking back though that tweet was a couple hours after she'd mentioned it, so perhaps that's where they saw it.

Take it back Jack, you best sign your name in case someone wants to steal credit for a tit, tone-deaf slogan with no punctuation.

In her blog she talks about going self employed when she set up “Bread and Jam”

Yes I saw that earlier and thought hmm so when was this breakdown also where did poor SB end up

Jack...we want to see the LITERAL receipts please

Don't fall down THAT rabbithole, Dear Heart, I am still tumbling, waiting for those bloody ten years of receipts (such an easy thing to prove arrrrrgh!).

There are no receipts. Receipts don't exist. Is receipt even a real word at this point?

 

[jenny2603]

Do we know if Mommie dearest or any other of Jack's arse lickers have commented? Or bought a Tshirt?

Could we be mere days away from a Daily Mail sidebar of shame piece featuring Mom pouring her curves into a The Dead Cant Riot T-shirt.

Big maths:
The cost of this bag pays for three days food for a ..
The cost of this tee pays for three days food
The bag is £16
The tee is £24
Is it the 45p rice and the 65p rice?! I’m confused.


Make it make sense?!!

 

[colouredlines]

Huh. So she didn’t quit because she was in hospital having a breakdown, she just thought she could be an arteeest?

This was a year after leaving the fire service. She had a few short-term (as in, weeks not months) jobs, started writing a column for her local paper, and decided to set up her own business. It doesn't really fit the official narrative of stealing half-eaten Big Macs from bins and turning to prostitution out of desperation, but that's Jack for you...

This is some pre-landfill bullshit if ever I saw it.

 

[Veronicaaa]

Yeah this feels like a huge amount, especially considering the price point…? It’s more likely she is (purposefully) conflating proceeds with profit?

She's saying she's raised first 2k and then 3k "for the Trussell Trust", which any normal person would take as meaning that's the donation going to the TT. Obvs Jack isn't normal but it's basically there in black and white that that's what the TT can expect to receive, from the first day of trading. The whole thing is bonkers.

For £3,000 you can buy the most insufferable month Jack Monroe has ever inflicted upon the public.

She's missed a trick by not doing notebook covers. Imagine the glee of the squigs! They could keep their own forensic indexes. Take them out to Asda Shoeburyness (only supermarket in country, clearly) and do big maths until their rice bags pop.

I would love an episode of Dragon's Den where she'd proposes those.

What! Some random squig is going to try to embarrass customers in to spending money on Jack’s nasty little ego trip tshirts?

I hope they are used to disappointment.

 

[ednaturnblad]

This is some pre-landfill bullshit if ever I saw it.

Imagine these people in a few years' time, opening their wardrobe and seeing their old Jack Monroe riot t shirt. The shame. The embarrassment.

 

[Captainmouse]

Does Jack really think tweeting numbers is being transparent?

Absolutely!

 

[Orphan_Black]

Absolutely!

It got her on so many soapboxes last week!

Does anyone else think someone went fact checking at all the respective news agencies, realised her guff and that's why she suddenly isn't booked until mid-Feb anymore?

The ONS also proved her index was all guff too.

So opal fruits and offensive tat it is then.

I feel sick, all this about riots.
Where I lived in West Yorkshire in the early 1980s it was well known to be unsafe and rightfully so. Me and my neighbours used to take roundabout ways to the little parade of shops on different days and times to try and outwit the muggers.
Rioters burned down our shops so we had no choice but to be even more vulnerable and to be robbed of our purses at the bus stop into town and on the home journey to be knocked over and our shopping taken.
It’s not all shits and giggles.
