Jack Monroe #5 Tin Can't Cook

[PineappleQueen19]

An immunocompromised person with a cough who is, during a pandemic, dropping meals off on their neighbours’ front steps one day and then the same meals are being stashed in one of her three freezers the next.

There’s no need for us to make anything up, these are all from her own words. That is what is bonkers about all this, it’s just a collection of contradictions by her own admission.

it baffles me that Jack scoffed last night about our prediction of Louisas salary but £250,000 can’t be far off, she’s the head of news.

I got my home contents renewal yesterday, £52 for a 2 bed house so it's not mega expensive. I remember quite a while back she got one of the latest Android phones that had pie and could set time limits for social media, obviously she never used that feature. But I also recall thinking at the time how she could afford one?

She said it on instagram.

She immunocompromised. But not sick. But she's scared of getting sick. She can leave the house. But she just didn't. Ok. That's all clear as mud thanks Jack!

She'll never admit the GF earns well. Doesn't fit with constant life of poverty narrative.
Only last month she was begging for paypal donations as she couldn't pay bills due to lost work.
If she revealed her GF earns 250,000 up begging for donations might come across as a bit dishonest.

In this grovelling PayPal request, she mentions she’s working on a ‘Big Campaign for poor people’... has she ever mentioned it again or is it yet another .. (yawn) ... exaggeration?

Did she delete that one?

The BBC has to publish it's salaries, people know in which ballpark other people earn.

ETA: The 'heads' of things at the BBC earn 150-170.

Scrolling through instagram and Ruby Tandoh (or whatever her name is) moody little face pops up.
She reminds me of Jack.
Anyone know if she's a self obsessed head too?

Have a look. See what you think...

Ok, I clearly have too much time on my hands, but the news and pay thing made me think of Carrie Gracie and her pay dispute with the BBC, I really like Carrie and what she stands for and she is very open about money; she took the Beeb to court because they were paying her less than a man. (That bit is off topic but stick with me)

I know there is a difference between the BBC and Channel 4 and between reading the news and being the Head of News but looking at the numbers involved in this article it is clear than if she isn’t being paid over £100,000 then she is getting ripped off!

Carrie is on £145,000 for reading BBC news. I actually don’t care what Mrs J earns but again it is the disingenuous way that it is dealt with.
Ok she might not be on 300k but she is in a professional job at a high level, that I imagine is pretty stressful at the moment and will be well paid for it, where is the harm in simply saying that you are proud of her, her job and that she earns well.

Have a look. See what you think...

wow what an arse,

did Jack stick up for him!?!!?

 

[Harrybosch]

Do we have a pic of the jumper?

 

[poppycat]

The BBC is right to get some blame. They are obsessed with the woke agenda and getting someone in who ticks the boxes of poor, gender changing, mental health issues whid probably seen as more important than picking someone who can cook, present and build rapport with an audience.
i can imagine their execs in swanky houses in London cooing about how great it is that the poor people have got Jack on tv to give them ideas for cooking with corned beef. It’s frankly insulting to sterotype that lower income people eat like this.
As someone said on this thread previous it’s poverty safari. The upper middle class interpretation of poor. That they all live in dangerous rented accommodation and need guidance to cook with tinned things and are generally unhappy.
It makes me furious. Lower income people do normal things. They cook, go to the pub, have a laugh. God forbid, they might even enjoy their lives despite not having loads of money. Jacks representation of poor is certainly not the norm or standard. I’m sick of this help the poor agenda being shoved down our throats by people that haven’t got a clue what the average or normal British person is like.

This is such a brilliant post. Sums it up perfectly.

Not that I could see in his responses.

When she said we wanted her sacked, NO MATE we cannot wait for Monday. bleeping quality entertainment watching Daily Kitchen and for those of us unable to watch due to the terrible cringe, well we just watch the Tattle Googlebox version.

Exactly I’m hoping it’s extended for rest of lockdown!

Does anyone suspect that JM is being deliberately stitched up by the BBC in this programme?

Nope. She is efficiently stitching herself up. What other main channel presenters do you know that throw up words like hers all over social media!

 

[Catwinky]

Jack and Ruby are friends.
Funny how Jack hasn't spoken out against Ruby attacking Matt seen as she's all about kindness nowadays

 

[sangariana]

She said it on instagram.

I thought she was getting her boobs removed?

 

[LennyBriscoe]

me too the prospect of shrunken cashmere is giving me anxiety, I’d never risk washing cashmere myself it’d sit in a bag for the dry cleaners where it would remain for the foreseeable future

the commission on an aff link for £350 would be pretty sweet though so u win some u lose some

It’s alright, if the jumper shrinks then her Mufasa-sized cat can wear it on tomorrow’s show
