i came here to say i genuinely think that’s how it works with both the ridiculous projects and her disgusting slop recipes (or should i say ‘depressipes’ to quote jack herself 🙄)

I seem to remember the person who wrote Speed 2 based the whole thing on a dream, set that as the film’s climax and worked back from there. And we all know what a banger Speed 2 was. This is how Jack works. “Ooh, a whole damn house! That’s good. How can I work that into a couple of posts?” *starts scribbling in a moleskine notebook*
 
I wonder how it feels for Insufferable Big Chocco and Ma Ev to know that (especially as they haven’t been acceptably forthcoming with it up to now), their vile property-obsessed tory daughter can’t cant wait for them to be DEAD cos she thinks she’ll get a massive wad of cash and at least one house out of it?

Yes, exactly this. She has absolutely no idea.
Of the charities who are authorised to provide books, do you know if any of them would provide information to individual donors about which authors are most popular? And in your experience, is that likely to be John Grisham?

I know what she has done. She has of course offered the prisoners her books and the 'guv' took a look-see at the content and declared her the best ever as he was looking for a subtle way to punish his most awful criminals and her own personal donated cook books ticked all the boxes! You see, you guys always dribble on her good deeds!!!

She just should not be allowed to name anything ever. The Vimes Boots Index, The Hunger Names, Thruppeny Crumblenuts, Sticky Brown Poo, all just TERRIBLE. I’m surprised she managed to give her son a nice name instead of like “Jack Monroe’s Heckin Smol Human”, can only assume the dad had to gently talk her out of whatever daft idea she had.

Because as soon as she typed it she realised it was genius. Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone be quite so pleased with themselves in real time before.

In fact, maybe she came up with the title first. That would like her. Welcome to the WDH Calculator, fam.

so we have the VBI and now the VBI 2.0 NHSWDH edition. Great

Ugh!!!!! I can just picture her smugly patting herself on the back. I think you’re right, she thought of the title ahead of time and is trying to pretend it just slipped off the tongue, which would be cringe enough even if it wasn’t such a tit title. A whole damn house y’all!!! :sick:

even then I believe her poor kid has an alternative spelling of his name? I could be wrong but I seem to remember noticing that because it annoys me so much when people do that ( I also have a stupid spelling of my name and I have to spell it out every single day and I am full of resentment, plus regret that i didn't just change it at 16)

Had a quick look at the smattering of her mentions on LinkedIn. Amongst the usual simpering from the brands which (once) worked with her, podcasters who do absolutely no due diligence on their guests and virtue signalling from naive people thinking it will get them a promotion, there’s this nugget. He’s actually seen a lot of fires.

I find the NHS and the concept of public health to be difficult for online 'leftie' activists in general tbh. The two skyrocketing costs are age related care and obesity associated diseases. The obsession with victimhood and the way they embrace consumerism (soooo leftie) if it centres their individual identity doesn't sit well with a society acting COLLECTIVELY to conserve a finite resource i.e. working at taking care of yourself properly to reduce the amount you need from the NHS.

I thought the right was you had a personal responsibility only for yourself, the left was about having a responsiblity towards the whole society you live in. People like Jack think they don't have responsibilities and asking them to take any is tantamount to abuse.

for me the answer come in "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". taking a holistic approach would involve recognising that obesity and ill health in old age isn't only about individual choices - guest herself should tell you that poverty, lack of access to fresh food, education etc etc affect obesity. If someone's needs include the mental health care necessary to help with an ED for example then we should be giving it to them. If we taxed corporations properly we could afford it. Etc.

so the responsibility becomes collective. we need to stop making medical issues into moral ones - treating fat people as immoral because how dare they burden the NHS - I've never heard anyone have a go at someone because they broke their leg skiing and thus cost the NHS thousands. Imho we shouldn't go down this deserving and undeserving sick route. we should be working to improve everything for everyone.

you're right that guest understands nothing of this of course

Unless you're a lesbian. In which case it would be incredibly rude to upstage the bride!

Please correct me if I’m wrong but you don’t “wait” for psych meds to kick in on a daily basis like she claims do you? For a start SSRI’s take weeks to start working. It’s not like taking a pain killer. Do meds for BP and ADHD have a daily immediate effect? She describes her brain on psych meds like a constant rollercoaster whereas I thought the point was to even things out.

ADHD stimulants only work a day at a time and take about 90 mins to kick in l. She wouldn't be prescribed those with a history of addiction though. Not sure about other types.

The "Jack Monroe" scare quotes are chef's kiss.

Oh, bugger. Moral Outrage Jack. :rolleyes:

Funny how she never mentions the ethics of grifting off the vulnerable, or the turpitude of selling books full of "household hacks" that could land people in hospital, isn't it?

Why would anyone need to "send in evidence" to track the impact of inflation on consumer goods over time when the data is freely bleeping available?

And if they were going to send evidence, why would they send it to this imbecile who couldn't solve a four-piece jigsaw?
Click to expand...
Don't worry.

Despite what she says, there is no danger whatsoever that she will actually do it. Or even being to do it.

Or even look at the evidence.

All she'll do it look hopefully at her pattern to see if the numbers have started to go up now that she's holding the Ebil Tories to account over the state of the NHS, and is bravely striding hobbling forward on her broken feet, metaphorical sword in crumbly-boned fist, to fight Big Pharma single-handedly.

I don't understand the benefit or value of what she's saying. People know healthcare in America is different and expensive (albeit a lot get packages through their work) and that normal people here value having the NHS.
Then there's exchange rates etc. It just makes no sense?! What an utter waste of time.

What an utter waste of time.

You have to admire her consistency.
 
Replying mither for @rage naan
yes indeed, as a chronically ill fat frau deserving and undeserving poor health can get in the bin, just like the undeserving poor *cough* what was that about trackkies and Jeremy Kyle watching Jack? * cough* I'm just very annoyed with the current narrative online that instead of all working together to be better (living conditions, health, cultural enrichment etc) you have the whole, obesity related diseases are a lie by patriarchy and the progressive thing is to make more tat fashion in massive sizes so I too can participate in hyper consumption and get drugs to manage the side effects of obesity, whinge about the side effects of the drugs and a whole bunch of reality denial over physics. Mental health is something else she could be advocating for better everything for. It's like the red headed stepchild of the NHS and it's a stupid dichotomy anyway, physical and mental health are intertwined because shock horror, it's all connected to your physical self.

Have there been any recent selfies lately? I'm curious as to the state of the nose and fillers (I actually think she looked really cute in her twenties, I don't think she needed anything done! Cosmetic treatments are an absolute scourge).
