I’m sure both these things have already been said, but 1. Someone grab that phone and smash it to smithereens, give everyone (including her) some peace and quiet. 2. The tweed. She’s eying Jolyon to be the next OH/ring-bearer isn’t she?!

Her hair looks lovely - very shiny and healthy 🤷‍♀️

Mmm then why bring them all up when she explicitly asked us not to mention SB on Thread 31?

I’ve just caught up on Twitter today and I’m proper depressed at how she seems to have managed to get away with her grift yet again. The number of people coming out to fight her corner is both amazing and concerning. Did they not read or understand AM’s blog? Or, more worryingly, do they just not care? She’s TAKING MONEY off people. Never mind the damage she’s doing to the image of people in genuine poverty.

Agree, and she’s blocking everyone who challenges her.

If Nigella has any sense (which is doubtful given her recent behaviour re Jack), she’ll be taking some advice. Because if this thing blows up and becomes a major exposé (which IMO it could do - but as part of a wider exposé about social media scamming), then she is going to be drawn into it. She actively encouraged ordinary people to give money to Jack. So she’ll want to know where she stands legally/reputationally if that happens.

Yes, for instance can she be sued for the return of donations made at her request?
The answer is, I’ve no idea but in her shoes I’d want to know.
I suspect if this was the States, adverts would already be out encouraging people to come forward for a class action suit against Uncle Tom Cobbley and all. For instance has Twitter themselves any responsibility?
Just idle conjecture tbh. All I know about the law I learned watching Rumpole

I don't see the downfall of Jack Monroe (the brand) happening any time soon however many people share the AM blog.

Jack has built a pretty much inpenetrable forcefield of 'tags' to ensure that nobody can criticise her actions without being accused of attacking her personally. Transgender, lesbian, non binary, gender fluid, ADHD, autistic, disabled, recovering alcoholic, single parent and 3rd/4th generation immigrant (did I miss any out?). Whoever aims criticism at her will be accused of transphobia, homophobia, ableism etc. etc. etc.

The blue ticks who have supported her will be unwilling to publicy distance themselves as it would be admitting they promoted a grifter to their followers. If Nigella and co. think Jack is the poor underdog patron saint of the pov then why didn't they offer to be patrons? I'm sure Nigella could spare a few bob to help her mate out so she's not reduced to tin rattling on Twitter.

The mainstream media is unlikely to pick up on this for various reasons including the fact that Jack is boring news fodder.

Jack will survive the AM blog and will seek to profit from the situation whether that's a pity party or a paypal payment. Her victim mentality will be difficult to suppress on social media. Some squigs will stop donating to her tip jar, others will put extra in 'to sock it to the trolls' and try to get noticed by Jack.

The AM article will have raised questions for some people and cemented suspicions for others. I suspect the majority of people sharing the blog will, however, already have been aware of her grifty ways. It's good that it's out there though.

TL;DR - Jack will Gloria Gaynor it through the AM revelations and live to grift again.

Has she had much blue tick support over the last couple of days though? I agree completely about the force field of tags. She knows exactly what to say to her audience of middle class guardian readers. She knows most of them will take righteous umbrage at any questioning of her stories and that they’re not really interested in the truth anyway. But it seems to me that the blue tickers are falling away somewhat? Could be wishful thinking of course.

I respectfully disagree. If she ever dares to write another begging blog or tweets about extreme poverty with a gentle tin rattle she'll be laughed/booed off Twitter.

Enough people have her sussed out - some are tweeting about it, others are staying quiet.

While her supporters might be vocal, their numbers have declined heavily.

We will know when she tries to appeal to them for support. She has leapt on the very few who reached out to her.
