What I would say is, is he a grifter? Does he promise things in exchange for money from ordinary people, regardless of whether they can afford it, but on which he doesn’t deliver at all? The answer is, obviously no. Do you buy one of his cookbooks, and get tried and tested recipes which work and are tasty? I would suggest, yes. Are his kid(s) about to gain from nepotism? Of course. Has he been held back due to being supposedly working class and from Essex? Don’t make me bleeping laugh. Is his tongue too big for his mouth, making me feel nauseous every time I look at him? Yeah. Is he a dodgy businessman and a hypocrite? The evidence I see so far suggests so…

What is she going to do without Wilko? Really made me think.

Maybe this is why she’s so quiet, she’s been doing a tour of all the Wilkos in the country gathering garden items for Nigella to sit amongst as Jack draws a tribute to Wilkos, Mom and Slop.

Of course she’s also had to pick up a few thousand spoons and miscellaneous tat pieces for the bungamansion too, she was there anyway and she thought perhaps she alone could buy enough to turn their fortunes round but alas, it was not to be.

I agree and I can’t forgive him for the fizzy drink thing. Plus the chicken recipe I tried (while pregnant) of his was so greasy I was sick as a dog afterward.
I agree that there’s something wrong with his mouth too, his lips don’t seem to have enough muscle in them or something but I never considered the tongue thing.

If you'd paid a monthly £14 to JM's Patreon since April 2017 (£14 being the average monthly contribution calculated by the canal), you'd be £1092 poorer. Makes you think.

I've put an angry emoji because it has obviously made me angry. However, when I really think about it, I am starting to realise these people deserve to lose their money.
They've had enough warnings and enough opportunities to cancel the DD. If after everything they still give over their cash then more fool them.

That nasty account has been zapped so whoever said agent Ade would tell her to knock it the duck off or that she'd wake up and go shiiiit (after the account had the audacity to say her detractors were on the sauce all night, I'm reading pots and kettles into that) please collect your prize from reception. You win a poster of Jack on the sun lounger and a scant teaspoon of the courgette gratin.

I was probably one of many who reported the account for harassing someone because of their disability. Whether it was a Jack or Wonky sock, I don’t care. My uncle has a stoma. I was absolutely infuriated.
 
A mere laughing stock. 😍

Yep. I don't give a tit what your name is, what your gripe is or how crap your day has been. You don't 'punch down' for lack of better words.
The poor person must have felt sick reading that. I hope whoever they are has a good supportive friend or relative near by.

Bless him, I acknowledge that he can’t help the way his face is made, no more than I can. Otherwise, I certainly would have picked a better one myself. I am unbelievably ugly and I would actually prefer his face to my own. True story.

On another note, we own one cook book. It is a JO one that my husband specifically asked for a couple of Christmases ago, as although I happily do almost all of the cooking, he wanted to expand his admittedly minuscule repertoire. In anticipation, he went and excitedly bought little copper measuring spoons, digital scales and other astonishing culinary accessories we’d mysteriously never needed until then.

He’s never used either the book nor the cookery trinkets once. It’s not so much a cookbook, I found, but more a “menu”. duck that. My best mate asked to borrow it and as far as I’m concerned, it’s hers.
 
A few years ago, one of the supermarkets on this side of the pond had a JO promotion. If you spent X amount on a shop, you got Y numbers of stamps on a little card, and when the card was full you could redeem it for free pieces of cookware. I remember thinking at the time that someone somewhere was not paying attention when this promotion was set up, because the reward levels were so low that you could basically get a piece of cookware with every weekly shop. Anyway, thanks to that promotion, we have a nice set of JO crockery and several really well made JO kitchen knives that we use all the time.

If guset tried a deal like this, it would take eleventy billion stamps to even get a teacup. And the crockery would fall apart in the dishwasher and the knives would always be dull.
 
Somewhat relieved to be a blissfully ignorant U.S. Frau with little knowledge of Jamie Oliver and no knowledge of Julie Wotsit.

As for Jack, I think she reinvents herself as Sober Lifestyle Jack, giving interviews ("A repentant Jack Monroe says, 'This time I'm telling the truth!' "), self-publishing a ME-moir, writing a cookbook called "Super Slops for Sober Souls," claiming suddenly to be an expert in recovery and treatment because she completed it, mate. Doing juuuuust enough to keep that passive income rolling in while pretending that everything she does (which is nothing) is for others. And in her mind, her alleged addictions will excuse all her past transgressions AND make her the center of attention. Who could ask for more!

Don't forget rusty. She is not selfless enough to put others first. She cares only about herself and whats in it for her, even the pineapple donation to the food bank had her name smacked all over the tins. I make all my donations to charity annomiously as i can not be arsed with all that. I find it embarrassing and not a proper reason to donate.

And this:

"They’re very litigatious so I’m cautious how I word things, but there are definite inconsistencies in their ‘beginning story’ for sure. They forget that there are people who knew them prior"

And this (when asked if they worked in the same dept):

"No I worked in Admin she worked in George clothing but I think she started on counters it was over 15 years ago. I knew her parents too they were advocates (poster faces) for foster care in Essex"

That explains the FREEZING warehouse unpacking clothes. We need to know how long she worked there, my guess is 3.5 weeks

Not great on the hellsite as only view it through Nitter but here’s hoping there is a way they didn’t even see it.
