First, can we please have this as next thread title?

Dear Mr Farrington, The Mail believes oral sex and Pringles give you cancer. Maybe you shouldn't believe what they write about me either.

Dear Editor, It appears that your correspondent P. Farrington in Tuesdays Letters page has fallen foul of the first rule of Common Sense and Decency that is, do not believe a word that...

My neck
my back,
Here's your P45
'Our Jack'

 

[I'm not actually here]

I'd forgotten just what fun chaoi are. Thank you all for brightening up a rainy day.

 

[Foxvint]

I wonder if there is an editor somewhere in there who's been waiting for this moment of revenge for a good 10 years (unlikely, as most local newspaper journalists have been made redundant but I can still dream)

My fave fact about her local paper days is that she wasn't even paid for her spluttery little wet fart of a column. Steady on there Truman Capote.

Jack: "I thought we were family"

The Echo:

 

[Valiofthedolls]

I think we need to get Old Riley on the case to help us make up some new award categories.

Nicest Blouse (for the Ladies): Decade Achievement Lying Charlatan Award

 

[Jumpstart]

Oh. I was just coming on here to say there’s an Echo report about the fire hazard recipes and I see my thunder has been stolen.

Do we have a headline referring to her as Our Jack???

I love that bit where she says she gives her column to them for free as if its an altruistic act on her part. Except its not, they simply didnt pay her. Her contributions were not considered of value.

Thank you for the correction #tefaltruthers

The Echo has how many actual journalists, and this is what they send their reporter(s) to cover??

 

[Foxvint]

If we've got any lady canal members who've ever touched a boobie we're probably up for a Gay Pride of Britain next award sesh ourselves. The bar is so low you hafta limbo under it.

She'll have been a weary little busybody they tolerated cos she seemed desperate/a bit of a sad sack.

 

[hoopdedoo]

She is absolutely not important enough for it to be worth the risk for any reputable publication. And while her fraud/grift is bad, it’s also nowhere near enough to be worth it. Think of the level of financial dodge it took for people to actually look into the Captain Tom fiasco, I doubt Jack has made that in total over the years she’s been doing it, never mind from the stuff that is unquestionably dodgy and all on her (it’s not a crime to publish tit recipes and there’s a fair argument the publishers should bear liability for that with her - and they may well have made more money than she did from the early books).

AFAIK Captain Tom (or his grifting daughter) never promoted household hacks that were potentially dangerous to their users. That's what she should be called out IMO, just as the Echo has done.

I thought we family

Thus proving that blood is definitely NOT thicker than water. (Pun intended.)
Or at least not as thick as Jackasnory and the untested recipes of doom.

Moron.

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

She either hates risotto or does not know what it is. Perhaps a risotto was very mean to her once.

The risotto told her to shut her legs because she had a child out of wedlock. It then cursed her with a pumble.

She is like mercuito in Romeo and Juliet. She is bascially putting a plague on every business she ever gets involved with. Strike that she is actually just a plague rat.

Even the plague rats did more good than guest.

And she will be, like with Grifty Kitchen and the dangerous tips. I was responding to the thread about her whole story and I just don’t think they’ll touch a full expose with a barge pole.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

Many, Many, Many…………

They’re just as culpable as the Guardian. They gave her the voice in the first place, the Guardian picked and chose the most palatable parts, amplified it, and she’d selectively deleted the rest of her Daily Mail-type columns when the G came calling.

And between Shattenstone and this latest debacle it’s too little too late but also great to see at least vague dissent

 

[Sideboard Bob]

I get that and agree.

It’s why I love the Echo story, no “left/right wing” agenda, nothing personal, it’s all about her “work” and the hazards.

What I loved most about it was that they did NOT wait around! Who else was saying they’ve been waiting for somehting like this, it shows!

It’s hilarious that so many local papers (though Reach Media) websites featured that Jack and Curry’s advertorial, THEN they all got deleted, and then, straight away, the Southend Echo pops up with THAT story.

It depends on what you define as a full expose. Her Patreon grifting has nothing to do with whatever mental health issues she might have. She hasn't shut down the Patreon even though she hasn't provided the rewards, and if her mental health prevents her from fulfilling those commitments then she can close the Patreon account. But she hasn't.

It would be quite feasible IMO to structure a story around the dangerous hacks, with an addition of "Some of Monroe's other business activities have been called into question in the past" leading into an overview of the Patreon non-rewards.

Could it be Iqbal's revenge?

 

[DinosaurSenior]

The journalist above, who wrote about "Our Jack" in 2014 follows Susie Dent and retweeted her today.

Surely they are both fraus.

 

[ChiefBeifong]

This is just comedy gold.

I’m just flabbergasted she’s so stupidly lazy. Surely Adrian has told her that her career is teetering on the brink and she’s really going to have to put the work in if she wants to turn things around? But she couldn’t be bothered.

She‘s going to end up back on benefits round two isn’t she? She’s going to lose every single job she ever gets. Maybe she’ll have to dust off her blog/website which she hasn’t posted on since [checks] April. But then the time before that was October 2022. Perhaps it will be a biannual treat from here on?

‘Once again, I carry my solar lights attached to a headband through carabiners. I’ve discovered that my short and painful walk to asda for provisions is the best way of recharging them in the short winter days, when the cold is slicing through my meagre clothing like a sharpened knife through Seville oranges. A good rubbing of sausage fat keeps the worst of the chill out for the skin on my face and crippled hands which have to remain exposed to the sharp eastern winds that batter this beleaguered coastal corner of Essex.

By using solar lights, I am saving enough to turn on my air fryer once a week. I find 100g of rice is plenty to keep my tummy full over the week and I warm my bed with the empty drawers which I hobble off to the sofa with before I even sit down to eat.‘

'My arthritic hands shake as I take the ancient Nokia phone I once found in a puddle out from its nest of tumble drier fluff. Hunched over it in agony, my shoulders crumbling to dust, I painstakingly, peripatetically type out applications for jobs. All kinds of jobs. Train driving jobs. Air traffic control jobs. Astronaut jobs. Newtonian Professor of Mathematics jobs (I use Pythagoras' theorem every day)'
