Jack Monroe #33 Jack’s back on twitter, what a surprise. We roll our eyes

Jacked in rowing for tantrum throwing

How hard is this, so much to try and express in so few words, if only we knew someone who was a bit of a wordsmith, you know, byelines everywhere

 

[HarderFaster]

I found some of Jack’s poetry!


Read the comments, they seem very aware of Jack’s hypocrisy

If we didn't know Jack better we could be forgiven for mistaking this sanctimonious screed for satire. It would show Chris Morris levels of ingenuity as a parody... except she actually means it.

And of course... OF COURSE... she is blameless in the entire thing. Poor single mum Jack whose poverty porn narrative must never, ever be questioned.

New thread name:

got my lips done and they look hefty! Where’s Mrs J? Oh, SHE LEFT me

That poem looks like it was written by one of The Young Ones.

My son and his class of 14-16 year olds had to write a poem about social injustice for their citizenship class after watching a film about a black female scientist from America whose name escapes me - and they all did a better job, even my son whose poem had the non ironic refrain - "is it because I'm black/that you think my science is slack?"

I've been pondering how she managed to fit all these jobs in? She's 32, SB is 10, so she's not 'worked' in that sense since she was 21ish (not stalking, she's mentioned their birthdays are in the same month, so allow for that crossover mat. leave bit) Assuming Saturday jobs starting at maybe 14, that's only really seven years to do all these things.

@Octopies Sending you so much love ❤

And a big fat thank you for the solidarity and hugs on the kids issue. It absolutely sucks! Am lying in bed wondering what today has in store

Shall I hire Jimmy Nail to drive over in an ice-cream van later today as a treat? Dispense some Soleros and do a short set that only consists of one song? I’ll bring party bags, a jar of mayo and red lipstick in each one

I am very left wing but I hate this sneering, sancitminous attitude that some lefties have. The views Jack is writing about are deeply ingrained into a lot of the population. Do you think by putting them down and making them sound like stupid idiots that you're going to change their minds?

And she lived alone for 14 years too

Thread title suggestion:

Jack Monroe #34: When your medicine cabinet won't lift your gloom, the nice lady doctor prescribes Facetune

This is the winner with 53 reactions. I think it's best if I'm not involved in the creation of the new thread.

 

[Raker]

... and that’s (only part of) the wonder that is JM’s backstory @Cookiecookie ! Maybe @GrunkaLunka is not the only time/space traveller on these threads

 

[Veronicaaa]

Well, she wasn't joking about losing followers yesterday - almost 700 have jumped ship in the past 24 hours. Our fault, I suppose!

Thread #34: (do) Jack Lies Matter?

And depending on where you read, she worked for the fire service for 2/3 years.

I do believe that she's probably had duck loads of jobs though. She probably got sacked off/quit in a huff every few days.

You read my mind In fairness I had a lot of temp jobs as a teenager and young adult because securing a permenant contract is hard. It's not something I reference every time I need a decent proof point though.

Three tweets in less than half an hour. Might be another long day
Edited to add there’s been a fourth tweet in the 30 seconds it took for me to post this

Round two....
