Jack Monroe #255 Irritation that the press were not interested in your uninteresting life

[Onestorytoomany]

...And yet, she's never felt the need to mention the scheme before, ever. Calling massive, shameless bullshit on her claim.

And even if it's true (which it isn't) that reply as well though! So short, and arrogant and so rude. Why not say "Yea, it's a great scheme! Thanks for reminding me, I actually had a part to play in that ....etc etc "

I have a feeling things are unravelling behind the scenes in regards to work. So she's snapping at everyone.

That's how it reads, like a teenage drama queen getting arsey because her teacher told her she's fucked up her homework again! Despite her bragging last week that she had aced it.

Omg she is SO rude.

It was npower in 2015 and then the TT got involved the year after so I can’t see how she helped to launch anything. She’s so full of crap.

Looking at the Fuel Bank website, it looks like Jack had 'partnered' with them. The partnership appears to be a link to her cooking on a bootstrap website/begging bowl.

I do not know if Jack helped with launch, if at all or in any meaningful way. But I think probably didn't.

Fuel voucher? Completed it mate. Odd that she's never ever in the entirety of her life mentioned it but I'm sure she was just working behind the scenes, albeit far enough away to need a macroscope to be visible to the human eye.

 

[Terrible]

She was ‘working with them’, meaning a link to her website, and some weird crass unheated restaurant pop-up. But yes, why not pipe up with some actual help by promoting it every now and then?

 

[Veronicaaa]

And no doubt got paid for helping to launch.

Yeah I think it was a paid collab. Added bonus being she could cosplay a chef and say she had a 'pop up restraurant'.

Fuel Banks vouchers for paying gas and energy bills

Energy suppliers are creating Fuel Banks across the UK in partnership with the Trussell Trust and other charities. The centres will offer vouchers as a form of financial assistance for paying utili…

It's this, she might have been behind the scenes on this one. Guys!

 

[Terrible]

‘Non-binary chef’! How tf is that relevant AT ALL?

She looks defeated by that spaghetti, even then!

 

[JombleWomble]

Not a chance in hell that she'd do this, Squig.

I thought this is what her Very Boring Index was allegedly going to be? Who even knows at this point.

I've used the Fuel voucher thing once after some scumbag stole all the money from my bank account (I got it all back but needed to top up in the meantime so that my frozen food didn't all defrost ) and I most definitely did have to pay it back! It deducted a small amount from every subsequent top up to get the money back, so I didn't have to repay a lump sum but it certainly wasn't free money! Maybe they've changed it since, but I'd very wary of trusting Jack's word on it.

I had a meter growing up and I remember if you ran out over the weekend it kept ticking over until Monday and you got some. These was also an emergency credit button that gave you a few quid until you got to the shop during the week. I remember using it as teen when my mum and dad were both at work and it ran out. It's maybe changed now though. This was the 00s

Yes mine doesn't run out over weekends or at night, but it deducts whatever arrears are used from the next payment. I just want them to hurry up and switch me to a smart meter because I can't be bothered with the faff of topping up

Terry Pratchett's daughter's posted a photo of Jack's peach curry thing. A Terry Pratchett fan responds ....

And someone is looking for a response from Jack re. Tesco man's comments.

 

[Django]

It's a measurement in cooking right? Right?!

This is the woman who claims she is 5' 1.7" tall. Big maths my arse

You know what her response will be already. She was looking at ASDA not Tesco, she doesn't shop at Tesco therefore it's irrelevant.

Paging Mr Asda, time to speak out son.

What work , though ? Can’t cook or do much anything apart from grift. As far as I can see she’ll never have to do anything apart from retweet stuff and lie. The cult is firmly established and the money rolls in. I just want her to shut up. Dim squigs with more money than sense I can leave. It’s the cunning way that she manipulates some people who give the last bit they can because they are giving to someone who they think is in need rather than a big, faceless charity. I don’t know. I just don’t know.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

There has been no follow-up mention so far, but those meetings with Asda and Sainsbury's must be happening soon...

 

[kachoochoo]

appearing at an event to launch an initiative does not equal "helping to launch" an initiative

I can't remember her ever using her twitter to signpost people where to go for help which is really bizarre for an "activist."

 

[Boyo]

Fixed that for them.

But then this immediately voids her research. You need to have a broad spec.

When I did my study for my diss. I only wanted to do it on one component, however my lecturer said that I couldn't and explained why I needed variables. Same goes for her study. She needs all the data collated for the last ten years from all the supermarkets value ranges to compare and contrast prices. Yes Asda might be her closet or whatever but not everyone's and her BOLD claim is all "value ranges are increasing"
