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

[Smeghead]

Funny how all the proper publications - The Grocer, Money Week, The FT - have now all come to this conclusion, but the lie has already travelled all over to become fact in most people’s eyes and now everyone’s forgotten what the whole fuss was about to begin with anyway.

My new bet on what will happen to the Vague Bulls*it Index: Jack will scan all the receipts, print them all out, take some photos of the piles of paper, take some photos of her forensically examining the pieces of paper (maybe with glasses on, tongue sticking out), take some more photos of her surrounded by piles of paper, show a glimpse of some sums she’s made using pink highlighters, then announce she is working with the ONS who is collating it altogether as they have huge resources. The ONS will thank her for her time and put out what they were going to do anyway. Jack can say she helped put it together for the rest of time. The ONS bods will make a joke of it all in the office and give each other receipts instead of Christmas cards at the end of the year.

A long-winded article to say Jack was wrong about inflation hitting the poor hardest

Is Jack Monroe right about inflation hurting the poor the most?

Poverty campaigner Jack Monroe has claimed that official inflation statistics understate the impact of price rises on the poor. Is she right?

Filed away with the fabled granola recipe and the box of ten years of receipts.

Who knew the crappy bungalow had a room 101 too!

Jack might be interested in this - it looks like (hopefully) grifters *might* be getting more scrutiny.
Captain Tom Moore's ghastly family (there is a good thread on here btw) already under investigation for interesting use of the millions raised, now being investigated for GDPR breaches.
Are people finally waking up to this almost industrial scamming that goes on?

Are you able to subtly point me in the direction of the thread please?

Thread title suggestion.

Minus the swear, which could either be removed entirely, changed to "sh-" or replaced with a if that's possible / allowed.

Jack doesn’t need the Vanishing Bumpf Index now she doesn’t get out of bed for less than 500 Patreons per day

This part of the Moneyweek article made me lol.

Is it just me that sees the word anal. Vlad is very naughty today.

It's the Captain Tom thread in Off Topic

I love it when posters try to pick apart her tweets and tales and then show the hypocrisy or strange timeline, especially when it’s really lengthy and complex, then end it all by saying ‘but it didn’t happen anyway’.

I've got part of the Bayeux tapestry in my bathroom. I've been using it as a bath mat.

Yeah, I've been wiping my arse with the Turin Shroud

I notice a lot of people start with the idea of "there must be a germ of truth in everything she says! So when she says sex worker, maybe she means..." and then eventually realise that no, it's all just lies on top of lies on top of lies.

How many hours until the viscous begging index is released (that should have said vicious, but it autocorrected to viscous, which a lot of her slop is, so I left it)

It should say Mediterranean, but this one?

I've got the Rosetta Stone in my garden.
It doesn't matter that I do not actually have a garden.
Stairs and bungalow spring to mind.

I never got the whole ‘pared back to two plates’ thing. Much like the claim she sold her lightbulbs, but who the eff buys half used bulbs. Who is buying random used plates from someone’s house? You can get them in charity shops, supermarkets, even for free from friends/relatives if you’re that desperate someone will have basic kitchen stuff to spare.

And if she did sell them, they’d have gone for pennies. What difference would that make?

To be fair to Jack (sorry) I think she meant she removed the lightbulbs to save money. But either way, it didn't happen.

Although the thought of Jack being a prime mover in the Southend used bulb market amuses me greatly.

I have struggled not to shout NONE OF IT HAPPENED for two years!

Oh no, the real one, darling. Friend of a friend of a friar. I'd tell you the story but it's SO MUCH. He gave me some ornate holy chalice as well that I use to drink my grapefruit squash.
