The Evidence of what? The evidence that Monroes recipes are, for the most, calorie and nutrient deficient? The woman rinsed spaghetti hoops, then put it in a book as a ‘recipe’ and middle class numpties bought the book and handed it out to poor people. Instead of actual food.
Journalism was once a trade, then nearly became a profession, but that has ceased to reflect reality as online news outlets use 20-something near-illiterates with meaningless “degrees” in “journalism”.
For an airborne respiratory disease, for which we have always known for absolute certain these methods would have no effect on transmission. What was the real reason?
The one sure way to finish off the Zelensky regime in Kiev is to take and occupy Kiev, or (appalling though that would be from any humanitarian point of view) to flatten it.
The “resistance” to Russian occupation in even the non-Russian parts of the Donbass and the general south of Ukraine has been patchy, though the Kiev-regime special forces have scored a few notable assassinations etc.
What that says to me is that, if the Russian forces can take the whole of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper), the Kiev regime forces will find it hard to recover that territory by any combination of external force and internal “resistance”. External force alone would have to accomplish any such mission.
It may be that that is why Zelensky wants hundreds of tanks, the ideal force for such a mission.
In the east of Ukraine, outside the Donbass, Kharkov is the major city (the largest in Ukraine outside Kiev itself). If Kharkov can be taken and held, the rest of Eastern Ukraine outside the Donbass consists of sparsely-populated countryside with a relatively small number of small cities, towns and villages.
All the same, Kiev is the prize, for strategic, historical, and propaganda reasons.
The “West” (NWO/ZOG) is escalating the Ukraine conflict by stepping up supplies of arms, ammunition, other supplies too; also, by providing technical military training in the UK and elsewhere.
God knows what the ultimate consequence will be; quite possibly a massive nuclear conflict across Europe and beyond.

It’s the most ludicrous thing. Wikipedia removes references to Jack Monroe’s birth name, even though ‘JM’ was a nom de plume not a trans thing. But since she identifies as trans, our tech overlords have ruled that her original name must not be mentioned
Absurd. If “grifter” “Jack Monroe” wants to call herself that instead of her birth name (Melissa Hadjicostas) then that is a matter for her, just as it is not her right to try to prevent others calling her (or, as she apparently prefers, “them“) “Melissa Hadjicostas” rather than “Jack Monroe” or, indeed, “grifter“.
Just to clarify.
She promised to make the Vines Boot Index over a weekend about 1 year ago.
Got a load of publicity and a push by @Nigella_Lawson.. Then Jack Monroe did, precisely, bugger all.. as always.. just more lies. She bigs herself up more than a pufferfish.

Sending hundreds of tanks to Ukraine (from all over Europe and the USA) is a massive escalation. In reality, even one nuclear missile on London = the UK finished for a hundred years or more. Even one nuclear missile on each of New York, LA, San Francisco, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Houston, Miami, Chicago, Boston = USA finished for decades, maybe a hundred years or more.
Yes, Russia’s major cities and military centres too, but does that help us? No.
This is not the way to go. The escalation has to stop, and then be reversed.
The present UK Defence Secretary is what was once termed “a passed-over major“, a former officer who, when serving, was unlikely ever to reach senior command. Not someone who can be relied on now.

That was what happened in the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy.
I recall that, when I first lived in the USA, in 1989 or 1990, the first US Navy ship to go mixed-sex was deployed to the Gulf. An aircraft-carrier, I think. The sailors did not object to nearly 100 women sailors joining the crew, but their wives certainly did! With some reason: when the deployment finished, it turned out that about 90 of the —less than 100— women on board had been made pregnant…
As for the Royal Navy, it matters little now, because the Royal Navy scarcely exists as an effective force. Apart from the paucity of ships, there is the question of the quality of many of the officers and men.
I happened to see about 15 mins of a documentary about a British warship. About a third of the complement seemed to be women. The junior officers (men and women) seemed to be incredibly dim, and rather wet (in a non-oceanic way). Drunk, too.
As for the crew, their shore leave in Italy ended with many drunk and near-incapable. Admittedly, rather an old naval tradition, but it was unpleasant to see, especially, the female members of the crew so drunk that they were unable to walk, falling into the gutter in their short skirts, just as they presumably did in the “left behind” UK towns from where many of them must have originated.
“The director of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries claims Buckingham Palace tried to ‘discredit’ the couple’s bombshell allegations by claiming the filmmakers did not contact the royals for comment.
Liz Garbus, in an interview with Vanity Fair, claims the Palace was contacted about the series, but denied being asked for comment so they could ‘discredit the content of the show’.
The director also revealed it was her idea to use the series as a platform to discuss racism and colonialism.
Ms Garbus, in her Vanity Fair interview published today, revealed exploring issues of racism, colonialism and alleged white supremacy in the British Monarchy was her idea.
‘For me, what was really important was to connect the dots to these larger historical issues,’ she told the magazine, adding that the couple was, ‘to their credit, very open and willing to journey down some of the paths that they might not have originally considered.‘
“A man who broke a security guard’s arm in a drunken pub brawl after verbally abusing and throwing cigarettes at a group of women has avoided jail.

Sometimes I wonder exactly what do you have to do now in England to be imprisoned (except murder, or making remarks about Jews, as in the cases of Alison Chabloz and Jez Turner).
I mean, here is someone (and not a silly teenager either, 35 years of age) with several previous convictions for violence, and who started the fight, then continued with it, even breaking the arm of a security guard, and all he has to do is pick up some litter and pay modest compensation (no doubt at a few pounds a week). Not good enough.

A pretty good assessment from a few months ago, not seen by me until today. In fact, it echoes my own feeling from long before, that the “Harry and Meghan Show” was even then becoming a big bore for most people on both sides of the Atlantic.
As I blogged recently, “the Harry formerly known as Prince” and Meghan Mulatta are one-trick ponies. Once they have exhausted their fund of royal stories and whining, they have literally nothing of interest left to offer the public, either in the UK or USA. Of course, by that time, they will have several hundred million dollars or pounds, but as far as I can see, Harry has burned his boats with his birth family, and particularly with his brother. As for the Mulatta, she cold-shouldered her own birth family long ago, and has nothing to lose.
I've just been listening to this. The contractions and glaring inaccuracies are something else. How has nobody ever looked into these claims before? Why was her story never verified? She's dangerous.

So the concerns of local people, heritage groups, environmental groups, and a huge number of individual British people (and even some Jews, indeed some Zionist Jews) will be overridden so that Jew-Zionist supremacists and triumphalists can wallow in it all. Look where this horrible “memorial” (propaganda centre) will be— right next to the Palace of Westminster. It says “we own you“.
Actually, look at those promoting it in Parliament. Apart from Jewish MPs and “peers” (such as the fraudster and expenses cheat, “Lord” Dubs), the scheme is promoted by such as Robert Jenrick, that corrupt little bastard who is entirely in the pocket of Jewish property developers, and married —like Keir Starmer— to a Jewish woman, their children being brought up as if fully-Jewish.
As for Sunak, he is just a globalist Indian puppet, who worked for the Goldman Sachs vulture-capitalist finance organization. Take away the Winchester and Oxford education, and there is nothing really “British” about him, even if he was born in the UK.
Incidentally, the architecture of the proposed “memorial” is pretty much as bad as (or indeed worse than) that seen in 1970s Brutalism: multistorey car parks, bus stations, and other excrescences. The architect is some African or other, apparently.

Ecce the self-describing “Left” in the UK. Forget social change, radical structural reform of society and the economy, let alone socio-political “revolution”. No, what matters to those idiots is “racism”, “sexism”, “trans” nonsense, facemask nonsense, and “deplatforming”, from Twitter etc, those with whom they disagree or who see through their silliness.
Rather than take real action for a better society, they prefer to support “grifters” such as “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson (the non-practising doctor who sells facemasks etc), Owen Jones, “Femi” (the UK-based Nigerian who has found online “activism” a lot less tiring than getting a job or profession) and others of the same sort.
Those idiots do not demand that the structure of society be changed much; they prefer to applaud a “grifter” who says that a dinner can be created for 11p a head, or a family fed well on £20 a week, or that “our NHS” is the envy of Europe, or that everyone should wear facemasks and/or get down on one knee in sign of fealty to the blacks, or that “refugees” (migrant-invaders) are “welcome” and should be paid for by British families. Not forgetting Greta Nut and her deluded fans.
That way, the self-describing “Left” poseurs can continue to virtue-signal from their comfortable homes in leafy suburbs, or the Cotswolds, or the outside-London Green Belt, and continue to make a good living from well-paid professions, or inherited capital, without having to change their own lifestyles at all.
Any real revolution will come from elsewhere.

Because Jack Monroe serves a role as a middle class guilt assuager to bourgeois liberals in the media and their readers / viewers without being too scary. They're not bothered about the details, they just want to show people that they're 'doing their bit' for the poverty thing.
Because most people are disinclined to find the moral courage to challenge, even in their own minds, a narrative that comes approved by the mob, or the System, or the msm (cf. WW2 “gas chambers”).

Terrible though it may be, Russia’s choice in 2023 and 2024 will quite possibly resolve into that of either losing tactically in the south and southeast of Ukraine or of completely destroying the main cities of Ukraine, meaning Kiev, Odessa, and Kharkov, and prioritizing that over the destruction of the Kiev-regime forces in the field.
Whether that will be the opening of a wider war between Russia and NATO is an open question. If so, the UK may be finished in almost every way.
The msm has started to report the absolute epidemic of persons, not infrequently even young people and/or sportsmen, dying suddenly, usually from heart attacks, but is still not correlating those deaths with take-up of the “Covid” “vaccines”.
I blogged a while ago about my own two younger brothers (two and three years younger than me, so in their early/mid sixties), one living in the London area and one in Sydney. Both lifelong and avid golfers, in one case also an amateur player of team sports, both “vaccinated”, both “boosted”, and both taken to hospital last year as emergency cases, having suffered heart attacks (and neither ever having had any history of heart or circulatory problems).
As already blogged, both of my brothers had to have heart by-pass operations (one a triple by-pass), and both did recover, but compare that to me, who has had a fairly or even very sedentary lifestyle for the past 13-14 years, and who takes no real exercise, though I do try to eat a relatively healthy diet most of the time, drink only modestly these days, and do not smoke (or, needless to add, abuse illegal drugs in any way).
Admittedly, I have done regular exercise in the fairly distant past, pre-2000— swimming a mile every couple of days (for much of the late 1980s and also the 1990s); Taekwando (mid-1980s); snorkelling; almost-daily running (late 1970s); trekking in Ireland and Wales etc (late 1970s, 1980s, 1990s); also, occasional other exercise in the 1980s and 1990s (parachuting, scuba etc).
Having said that, no-one who saw me, or a photo of me, in the past 10, maybe 20, years would imagine that I had ever done any exercise! Neither have I had any “Covid” “vaccination” or “booster”; in fact, I have actively resisted the official “invitations”.
I have never had “Covid” (or maybe I have, for a few weeks only, last year…not sure), and I have —as yet— not collapsed with a heart attack; I doubt that I shall.
In a way, it is incredible that “Jack Monroe” ever built any sort of public following, looking at the food she usually produces, and the obvious fakery around it (“I can make food for 11p!” and “I can feed a family of four well on £20 a week” etc).

Exactly. “Jack Monroe” is a kind of stage character, but purporting to be real, despite everything being fake, meaning her “backstory”, her lifestyle, her ever-shifting sexuality, her very limited cooking skills, her behaviour, her fluctuating politics, and indeed her very name.
I'm so sorry that you've all been sucked in, you didn't deserve this but you've all played your part in this circus I'm afraid.
As blogged previously, the typical “Jack Monroe” supporter is over 50 and probably over 60, probably though not necessarily female, not “poor”, not “struggling”, white English or Irish, or sometimes Scottish, and in many cases —though certainly not all— with mental health problems. I have yet to see any of “the young” (say under-30) or any non-whites, or anyone genuinely “poor”, supporting her. “Reasonably comfortably-off Guardian and Observer readers” probably covers most of that waterfront.

The UK is so screwed now that it is hard to believe. The social care sector is disordered to an extent that is much worse than a bad joke, because far too serious; as for the NHS, it is plainly not functioning properly; nor is it administered properly.

Jack Monroe posing in a bath of coins was the ultimate "ha, I've got away with it, you idiots". Extremely offensive. But considering the Guardian's demographic, the audience probably thought it was a witty, ironic photoshoot. I despair.
And why would we want to "save the NHS"? Surely you mean radically reform the NHS so it delivers a half decent service from GPs to social care to ending postcode lottery of care?
Quite. What matters is that the people have a health regime that actually works, and which is actually available to people. The NHS is increasingly in a state where it really does not work properly.
Seems the best thing for Jack Monroe to do now is refund all Patreons (pro rata if money is spent), refund the "legal fund" money, close Patreon/tip jar etc, delete socials then leave public life & get proper help? She can't keep up these lies, grifting & the scrutiny it brings.
That is not going to happen, for several reasons, but mainly because “Jack Monroe” now has only one substantial and regular source of income, i.e. the 635 utter mugs donating to her regularly on Patreon, and thus bringing in tens of thousands of pounds each month.
Exposing someone is not harassment. Jack Monroe owes money to lots of people who gave her cash in good faith. How you have the audacity to come on a public forum and defend such diabolical behaviour is embarrassing. There is no nice way to expose someone as a fraud.

I have been, in the past (pre-2009) self-employed (as a barrister in England), employed offshore (i.e. not having to pay UK income tax), and at other times employed in the UK, paying UK income tax.
The worst of the three possibilities is when someone is employed in the UK, and having to pay UK income tax, especially when having also to pay out to rent a house or apartment, and/or commute, a fortiori when having to lay out money for a long commute by rail, perhaps even —as at times in my own case— for a long-distance First Class season ticket.
Once someone has paid income tax, he or she has those unavoidable chunks taken out: rent, travel costs, costs of suitable clothing, other costs such as lunch money etc. The last may seem small, and not everyone will have to pay for restaurants or whatever, but even a Pret or the like might add up to £5, or more, per working day, say £1,000-£2,000 a year.
No wonder many, especially on modest earnings, decide (if they can) to opt out, throwing themselves on the admittedly rather strained mercies of the State by applying for small State cash benefits, but also having most if not all of their housing costs paid, having Council Tax paid, and not having to pay out for long distance or other travel, nor for formal clothing, for lunches, and for other incidental costs. Also, of course, not having to pay income tax.
For many employed people, once those chunks are taken out of gross pay, there is not a lot left, especially when one considers that those on the lowest income levels do not pay for basic NHS dental work, or prescriptions.
Poor levels of pay in the UK are a disgrace, and poor-paying employers are having their profits underpinned via Universal Credit etc paid to employed but underpaid employees. It’s quite wrong.
In the case of a “poor” pensioner, just retired from, say, a modest or low-level job, that person will be entitled to, from April 2023, about £200 per week State Pension and Pension Guarantee Credit, Housing Benefit (if applicable), Council Tax Benefit, free medical and basic dental, various extras such as Cold Weather Payments, special one-off Treasury giveaways, free bus travel etc; the upshot being that that person might well be far better off (albeit on a low level) than he/she was the year before he/she reached State Pension age.
For younger people, the best option (especially if not paying out for rent) is to get off-grid as far as possible: do work that pays in cash or in kind, or start a small business that pays (eg car repair), use (if you can afford the capital outlay at the start) renewable heat and power via solar, pico-hydro and the like, and keep outgoings small. You do not need the often-useless “advice” of such as “Jack Monroe” to do that. Commonsense does most of the heavy lifting. Cheese rather than smoked salmon, water rather than wine.
True, that kind of “off-grid” lifestyle will not get you a Rolls-Royce, or a Mercedes SUV, or holidays in Barbados; you may have to settle for a £1,000 clapped-out estate-car, and no overseas holidays, but in return you have freedom, and that is worth rubies.
Incidentally, I am not exactly describing myself. For one thing, I am now already 66, and so beyond official “working age” anyway, but in the past have experienced almost every kind of working and non-working scenario.
Those best-off in WW2 Britain were probably not only those with money (who could pay for quite good dinners and lunches in the better hotels) but also and especially those in country houses, who might have had the money and space to stock up on tinned food (as Dennis Wheatley —https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wheatley—had advised in his pre-war newspaper column).
Such people would have had enough land on which to grow fruits and vegetables for themselves, and might well have the possibility to shoot game birds, rabbits, hares, even deer, and also fish for trout, salmon etc. They could also easily raise chickens for eggs, despite the paucity of chickenfeed, while the rest of the population was rationed to 1 egg per week.
Anyone in a country house would quite likely also have a wine cellar, which, if replete with Claret, Burgundy or Champagne —and adapting Sam in Casablanca— “sure takes the sting out of being occupied ” [or rationed].
Today, the same applies, pretty much. Had I a country house today, I would certainly be stocking up on tinned food (which in many cases is OK almost indefinately from the safety point of view, though only at peak quality for 5 years or less). I should also be reserving at least an acre per person for vegetables etc, and would be planting, or maintaining any existing, fruit and nut trees and bushes.
I should also be filling my equally-hypothetical wine cellar. Basic or bland food tastes a lot better with a bottle of Chateau Margaux washing it down…
When my wife and I did have (a lease of) a country house (on the Cornwall/Devon border, about 20 years ago), there existed a large number of plum and apple trees, producing a quantity of fruit quite impressive, bearing in mind that they had not been maintained, pruned etc for decades.
With war again now looming on the horizon, together with social collapse, I would, were it possible, relocate back to the South West of the UK and also, were it possible, buy a country house (and follow my own advice above).
It's disingenuous/obtuse to claim the legal fee money hasn't been touched & is going to charity if not used. It can't be kept separate in her tip jar. An honest person would have made it transparent and set up new PayPal or fundraising accounts but she's proved she isn't one.
Crazy how Jack Monroe still gets feted in the media after the evidence that she's a grifter and scammer is so plain and plentiful. Awfully Molly did an amazing job laying it all out. https://t.co/MZH4Pj6nWF
Though my prediction for the next general election (2019) was wrong (I thought hung Parliament or small-majority Labour win), in my defence I can say that that election did not, in the event, happen until almost 2 years after the blog was posted (blog— January 2018, but General Election— December 2019). I think that the rest of the assessment has held up quite well.
“This was the moment at which we began the unstoppable descent into terrible danger which so many of us will bitterly regret in times to come.
I won’t waste time here going over the question of who started the Ukraine war, or even why. Most people don’t want to know and refuse to think about it, or to look up the facts. They defame and abuse anyone who tries to tell them. So to hell with that.
When the Defence Secretary announced that British tanks were going to Ukraine, not one MP raised any doubts or opposed the move. Not one. To read the record of the non-debate is like reading the proceedings of some Communist fake parliament, supine and brain-dead.
The country where political freedom was born has decided not to bother being free any more.
What we have just decided to do is to prolong and deepen the war. Maybe Ukraine’s new tanks will sweep all before them. Maybe they will bog down. Maybe they will try to take Crimea. Maybe they will soon be taking part in a Victory Parade in Red Square. I don’t know. But if they cross into what Russia regards as its own territory, then do not be surprised by anything which happens.
...there is the real possibility that a large chunk of Europe might be turned into a radioactive graveyard and that American conventional retaliation for this (which will be furious and powerful) will take us a stage further into the world of horror, loss, flight, pestilence and poverty which always follows war.”
[Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday].
Exactly.
The Cold War was frozen, formalized, mutual aggression. The world came close to disaster more than once, but the situation was at least stable. That was hard on the peoples of occupied Central and Eastern Europe, caged by the “Big Three” agreements of the WW2 period (Casablanca, Teheran, Yalta, Potsdam), but actually life there was not always and everywhere terrible— just worse (usually, mostly) and —overall— less free than in the (better parts of) Western Europe and North America.
That was better than nuclear war across Europe, the Soviet Union, and the USA.
The gradual collapse of socialism in the 1956-1989 period of 33 years meant that one of the two main pillars of that stasis collapsed, meaning that outside socio-economic and other forces could start to flow into what had been Soviet territory..
Without Soviet power in place, the whole Soviet system fell apart quite quickly. By 1991, the Soviet Union was history. Western goods and ideas flooded Russia and the newly-liberated or created states. Ukraine was, for the first time in history, an independent state (a simplification, but basically correct).
Instead of a genuine attempt to help Russia and other former components of Sovietism transition to a better society, there was a scramble to rule over Russia, and to exploit its people, taken part in not only by Jewish (yes, and other) interests in the West but also by Jews inside Russia, the so-called “oligarchs”. Some, such as Boris Berezovsky, have died (probably murdered, despite living in the UK), others have increased their security and moved permanently to the UK, USA, Israel etc.
I myself saw elements of that scramble, not only when I first visited Moscow in 1993, and not only in my year in Kazakhstan (1996-97) but also in other ways, e.g. by my sitting (1995-1996) on the Committee of the Central Asia and Transcaucasia Law Association [CATLA], a body set up by large law firms with interests in the post-Soviet states, with UK Government assistance.
Also later, when back in London, in the Caribbean, and elsewhere.
On the foreign policy side, the “New World Order” [“NWO”] tried to take over Russia, and nearly did so when Yeltsin was President. What prevented it was a combination of circumstances: Russian pushback fuelled by wounded pride, Putin taking over as President, the collapse of the dotcom bubble in the West, and the focus of the NWO shifting to its other major interest, i.e. destroying the states hostile to Israel; that was after the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.
The military aid being given has gone from small items of defensive “kit” (in the British military term) to large items of offensive armament, as Hitchens writes. There are few weapons more aggressive in offence than a tank.
I recall being at a CATLA meeting in London in late 1995 or early 1996 when an account was given of a report that day by telephone from Dushanbe, Tadzhikistan, then the epicentre of a civil war. The report had had to be curtailed because the person on the end of the line had suddenly said “I’m going— a tank has just come round the corner.” End of conversation.
As I recently blogged, 14 British tanks may not be much, but the Zelensky regime is all but demanding that other European states provide 300. Still a small number compared with those in action in 1943 at Kursk (over 8,000 tanks in total); however, in Egypt, Rommel’s initial advance on Alexandria involved about 300 German tanks.
The point is that the war is now getting to the point where, in the absence of a ceasefire or negotiated settlement, the Russians either have to recruit, train and deploy an army vast enough and powerful enough to overwhelm the forces of the Kiev regime in 2023, or go nuclear (whether tactical or even strategic).
The USA and UK (etc) are getting to the point where they might be seen as actual participants in the war.
Leaving the huge forces (mainly American) of NATO aside, there is no way for the Kiev regime to win this. Ukraine is becoming a country without electricity, it has little functioning industry now, 20% of its population has fled to other states, and its population is anyway a fraction of the size of that of Russia.
If the West (NWO/ZOG) does not stop supporting the Kiev regime, we are on and sliding down a slope which might well devastate all of Europe.
I shall believe that when she stops taking people’s money, particularly from those who have little to start with, and/or those who are vulnerable (even if they are utter mugs to send “Jack Monroe” anything at all).
Both my wife and I have stage 4 cancer. I hope Jack is never in a position to properly understand how appalling what she has written this evening is.
Seems that the tweets referred to have been deleted (another habit of the “Bootstrap Cook”).
Hang on in there @BootstrapCook the haters can’t win. More people respect what you do than those who have too much time on their hands and pile vitriol on you. Self care is all. Do what you have to ❤️ https://t.co/nJnUAfwRnI
Another poor and/or financially-struggling “Jack Monroe” fan? Oh, no, wait…a dim-seeming librarian from the University of Bedfordshire (is there such a university? Maybe there is). She has obviously not seen any of the voluminous evidence against her idol.
Because she's lying fantasist. There is zero evidence that she has ever been abused. She just screams that she is being abused to distract from her grifting. She is a predator disguising herself as prey.
A good description. Worthy of a social anthropologist, perhaps a bit —in manner— like David Attenborough, but specializing in Essex “grifters”.
People are entitled to call her out for her criminal scamming, and her Munchausen lies. She plays the victim whenever she'd backed into a corner. Her cancer scare bullshit didn't get sufficient sympathy so now she's dramatically flouncing like a teenager.
Quite funny seeing all these terribly “concerned” and virtue-signalling women (mostly women), who are, unwittingly, simply advertizing their lack of nous.
What she claims is abuse are people calling her out for her Patreon scam, her Kickstarter scam, her repeated charity grifts, her tip jar rattling by insinuating that she's struggling, and profiteering off her fake backstory (she's from a rich family) and lying about her child.
…so tweets a total loony (another “not quite all there” “Jack Monroe” fanatic).
Does this shit all the time. Gets head pat's and sympathy from the codgers and sycophants and then comes back and posts banal bollocks about paint or dogs.. or kittens..
That was a beauty as it was so wrong from the get go. It's all good, as far as I'm concerned Jack Monroe stans are just extensions of her, so it's just more proof of what a nasty piece of work she is, who's built a vicious culture around herself to protect her scam.
The irony of this comment, Jack’s the one who has been treating the most vulnerable in this way. She’s lied, ripped us off and disrespected so many people and now it’s caught her up she’s playing the victim for the few people still willing to believe her. #jackmonroelieshttps://t.co/SAjUPGENBx
That whole interview was a pointless fluff piece by a feeble washed up 'journalist' that has no interest in getting to the truth, just sucked down the lies, repeated nonsense and lies and took the pay cheque.
May as well have let the intern wrote it, journalism is dead..
Good! Get off Twitter, stop gaslighting those who want refunds, pause Patreon, stop asking for donations, make your Twitter more professional, stop playing a victim and fulfil your promises.
There is no incentive for “Jack Monroe” to pause or stop her Patreon “grift”. After months of criticism and evidence presented, there are, as of today, still 635 utter mugs sending her money, between about £2,500 a month and about £30,000 a month (probably about £6,000 pcm). Why would she stop taking it? Certainly not because a few have threatened a small claim in the County Court. Those few can be paid off easily enough.
If other mugs donate via other channels, then “Jack Monroe” can simply say (or not even bother to say) “thank you very much” and keep the cash, using it for her own purposes, as she has done.

Some good news from Germany 🇩🇪 where a prison sentence against 94-year-old Ursula Haverbeck has been overturned. She was due to begin this sentence soon – her 'crime' – disputing orthodox opinions about German history.

Ha ha! The presumption of the girl there is incredible. Trying to grift a living as an “online influencer” or something, like thousands of others, from “Jack Monroe” and Owen Jones, through Julia Grace Patterson and others of that type, and right down to “who she?” types like the one in that tweet. She should get a job in a bottling plant or something (at least until robots take over completely).
Britain used to be a country that did things, real things, and had people at all levels who, many of them, were solid, even in the House of Commons etc. Now look…
Men (and women) of straw are now around in huge numbers and, if they were just to “disappear”, not only would I not care but in fact would actually applaud their removal.
Just for the record, I have never accidentally set up an off shore trust.

Simona Kossak was an ecologist & biologist. For 30 years she lived happily with her loved ones without electricity & running water in the ancient Białowieża forest, with a crow, a herd of deer, a boar & even a lynx.
It’s her son that needs checking on, seeing his mum behave like this every time she doesn’t get her own way. Poor kid. She’ll be back later posting as if it never happened and rattling the tip jar to make the most of the attention. Sadly we’re all so familiar with it now
It is truly incredible to see just how gullible so many of these “concerned” women are, the “Jack Monroe” partisans. She has been repeating those behaviours for years— angrily snarling and threatening, then pretending to stomp off from Twitter and/or pretending to have one of a whole host of physical and/or mental conditions, then claiming to have been “bullied” or “forced off Twitter”, after which she returns within a day or two (and counts up her new donations).
I find it difficult to believe that someone contemplating suicide, deleted an ugly thread rehashing things she’d shared before, locked her a/c, unlocked her a/c, locked a single thread and then later replied to this? Anyone genuinely worried, phone Essex police pic.twitter.com/ghKbuNr2Fb
Yes, many rather unstable people who somehow imagine that by at least tweeting in support of “Bootstrap Cook”, they are striking a blow against the hated “Tories”. No so. The “Jack Monroe” assertion “I can feed someone on about 61p a day” (literally what she claims, feeding a family of four for £20 a week), plays into the idea that “welfare” (social security) benefits are perfectly adequate, or even too generous.
Don't you understand that the drama and the attention are what keep her on Twitter? She will never leave. I mean, she might leave for 53 minutes, but she'll never not come back. Her life is empty without the attention seeking on Twitter. It's really very sad.
She’s done this so many times. After the cancer ranting backfired on her earlier in the night the suicide breadcrumbing and then the flounce were just inevitable. You get used to it the more you follow her
Genuinely suicidal people don’t behave like this. As someone who lost a close family member to suicide it’s deeply hurtful and genuinely disgusting to see her behave like this. The manipulation is purely for this kind of attention.
“Jack Monroe” now knows that, however outlandish her tall tales are, hundreds if not thousands of utter mugs will believe them all, and will think her a kind of saintly warrior against poverty and injustice, no matter what obvious lies she posts.
She has claimed, ludicrously, to have been involved with fighting the fire at Grenfell Tower, to have been in high-level discussions about Government inflation statistics, to have been so poor that she had to unscrew lightbulbs to save on electricity, and that she boiled down soap to make shower gel (!). All surely, plainly, lies, obviously so to any but the totally deluded, yet her often-mentally afflicted fans lap it up, either believing the lies, or believing that they somehow do not matter.
Jacks Monroe Stans are now asking for welfare checks. So let’s get this straight…. Jack Monroe, scammer of the vulnerable, tax dodger, animal abuser, faux poverty “campaigner” has got her followers so worried due to the latest instalment of “my lies have caught up with me” that
Designed to be sympathy provoking, to then lead to the tip jar being rattled. This is a cycle of behaviour. She’ll be at it again in a couple of weeks. Her parents must be absolutely mortified. Surely, if she’s can’t do this anymore… she’d come off twitter, get a proper job.
Jack Monroe – non binary when it suits, all woman when it suits a different agenda. The autism/ADHD stuff is disgusting; she will never have to worry about her future or how her autism will hold her back or make her parents worry for her safety for the rest of her life.
I suspect Jack spent a short time on benefits after quitting her job but still had the support of her family and baby’s dad. Far more than some other people in abject poverty have. In keeping up this tale she is selling her family down the river. How embarrassing.
Today Jack will wake up smug that the naive fans are worried about her, then gently bring out the tip jar. Unfortunately she still has to wake up as Jack Monroe.
Helping people? I get that some of her Patrons are happy to give her money for nothing but plenty aren’t happy that she has grifted money from them. In addition many people are distinctly uncomfortable that this money has been grifted from vulnerable individuals and families.
The French love massive demonstrations, but such events rarely change anything, not on their own.
When did huge marches in the UK change anything? A million marched against war in Iraq. Result— nothing. A couple of hundred thousand marched against “austerity”. Result— nothing.
I think it’s slowly dawning on her that her best ‘tip jar’ days are behind her. The Guardian article was the final straw for a lot of people who, up until then, probably did believe we were all just trolls.
So long as “Jack Monroe” has 635 utter mugs sending her a total of anywhere between £2,500 and £30,000 a month, I doubt whether she will feel any pressure to get a job. In any case, it is hard to imagine the kind of job for which she might be qualified, even leaving aside her alleged drug and drink problems, and her peculiar mentality.
Some tweeters are enraged that “Jack Monroe” has (for the umpteenth time) used by faked (probably faked, allegedly faked) physical illness or feared illness, and also mental illness including suicide hints, to garner sympathy, deflect from her fraudulent or near-fraulent “grifting”, and collect even more money from naive people on Twitter etc: see below
You have lied to take money from vulnerable people, to pay for addictions and compulsive spending, you have fucked up every opportunity given to you and you have bragged about it in the @guardian. Now you are being abusive and manipulative.
CPTSD, Cancer, all these things are serious. VERY serious. Not shiny badges like your expensive clothes, art and sideboards, so you can wear them on twitter- these are REAL problems. Real illnesses. You are an addict and are not ill. You had too much money. Now you dont.
You are an influencer with half a million followers, many vulnerable, and you are using suicide to get attention because your behaviour is so bad that there is nothing else you can do. You dont care who that harms, triggers or whose suicidal ideation you compound. You should.
EVERYONE now knows @bootstrapcook. You are a dangerous irresponsible cokehead, who has made and spent a fortune from other peoples poverty, and the latest attempts to abuse and manipulate using suicide are irresponsible and dangerous but no surprise to anyone.
Why tweeter “@Calderpeople” thinks that “Jack Monroe” has no money any more, I have no idea. After all, the 635 Patreon mugs are still presumably paying up, and the Thrifty Kitchen book is out, though I suspect not selling well; I believe around 400 copies, including Kindle, per week. I may be slightly out, but think that each sale gets the authoress about £1, though possibly less, possibly more. See https://www.societyofauthors.org/Where-We-Stand/buying-choices/How-do-authors-get-paid.
That is on a price of £9.99 for the hardback, the original cover price of £19.99 having been abandoned, in effect.
I do think that the msm has almost dropped “Jack Monroe” now. I notice that, apart from the Independent, the newspapers have not much covered the release of the book; a few fairly low-circulation magazines have.
I was surprised to see how small she is, even up against the TV people, who are not giants:
Was someone that tiny really trained (for a while), and as she claims, as a firefighter? To me, that seems very doubtful.
“Anthea Rogers” (possibly “Jack Monroe” in disguise) weighs in:
Oh you mean like our ex PM and Chancellor?? The former cannot live off a salary of £100k+ plus speaking fees. The ex CX owes HMRC £4.8 MILLION & you guys are endlessly bitching about JM. Jeez.
Two cheeks of the same arse, Tories and Jack Monroe. If austerity didn't exist, neither would they/she or their grift. She/they've done very well out of it. Shame about those who were taken it and donated. Often poor and vulnerable people.
I love the idea that Jack Monroe is somehow important enough to divert attention from the exPM etc. She's really not 😂. Outside of twitter barely anyone knows who she is. And as you say you can be mad at the Tories and £20/week Jack.
A word about the alleged cocaine abuse by the “Bootstrap Cook”: I find it interesting that (until recently) she was being supported publicly by the Jewish TV cook, Nigella Lawson, and by the (also Jewish) food critic Jay Rayner, as well as by Tom Parker Bowles (food writer, and son of Queen Camilla).
As for Nigella Lawson, she has admitted that she has (“in the past”) abused cocaine and other drugs on a number of occasions (read “regularly“?).
Then we have Tom Parker Bowles. God knows what Brigadier Parker-Bowles, his father (who was Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry and Silver-Stick-in-Waiting to the late Queen Elizabeth), thinks of his son’s choice of career. Not that it is inherently bad, and it must be lucrative, but I wonder all the same whether there is parental disappointment.
This week I did not do so well: 4/10, same as political journalist John Rentoul. I only knew the answers to questions 2, 4, 9, and 10 (the same ones that John Rentoul got right). I would have got No. 3 —the “Northern tart” question— right too, but I just could not recall it.
LIttle pro-Israel monkey-on-a-stick Sajid Javid wants to charge patients for seeing a GP or visiting A&E departments.
He himself is standing down at the next general election. If it becomes widely known that charging for NHS services is the “Conservative” Party direction of travel, the already-anticipated loss of Conservative Party seats might be historically large, even if the NHS is not performing properly at present.

Please don’t promote Jack Monroe to your readers. She recently admitted taking thousands in donations from her followers to do campaign work and instead spent it on alcohol and expensive furniture. I’d hate for anyone else vulnerable to be conned in this way. Please stay safe.
Incredible that parts of the msm are still promoting the “Bootstrap Cook”.
The addiction was likely highly exaggerated. Jack Monroe is a textbook example of a sociopathic narcissist, and these wild claims about her levels of consumption are nothing more than her using #darvo techniques with tedious regularity.
This is what happens when you demand those in poverty need to 'budget better'. There'll no doubt soon be thrifty cooking tips for these limited products. https://t.co/NVgYMkQv5o
“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions“, as we know. The proposed rules no doubt aim at giving the American “poor” a better diet instead of the diabetes-2-tending (and generally unhealthy) one that includes white bread and “American cheese” [a particular kind of processed cheese sold to the public as “Kraft slices” etc: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese].
The price, though, is freedom of choice; and the other restrictions, such as “one car per family”, are obviously repressive, though of course in many countries only the wealthier part of the population(s) have even one car. Poverty is relative.
Exactly! Create those brand links, use them in your budget meal recipes, and there's guaranteed profit for everyone apart from those in poverty whose choices are even further restricted.
As the psychiatrist in one episode of Fawlty Towers remarks, “there’s enough material there for an entire conference“.
More likely that Jack Monroe will do a Vardy in court and will be revealed as a lying narcissistic scammer. There is no way she will reveal her income from book sales, sponsorship deals, paypal scam Patreon grifting, Teemill sales etc because it blows apart her false narrative pic.twitter.com/xtycWR1ND4
It would really help if people like you didn't continue to enable her insufferable narcissism, dishonesty and fraudulent behaviour by re-tweeting her attention seeking nonsense claims.
Have a read of this, also remember Jack Monroe sits on a committee of a Tory thinktank. She's not the ally you think she is, sadly. https://t.co/lkV3pnirKj
That “@blackwolfski” tweeter is just so typical of those who have a whole fake worldview of “woke”-ism. Akin to wearing a jacket of msm lies: supports “Jack Monroe”, Jacinda Ardern, Labour Party drones etc, and is entirely impervious to any “unapproved” truths. Note the faux-serenity and faux-“concern” of his (fake, “passive-aggressive”) good wishes to tweeter “@scbusiness4”.
I've not seen a trace of any of the abuse she claims she's been sent, all I see is her stans viciously attacking people who just want their money back. I'm a survivor myself but her attitude and actions do not align and it's hard to believe her.
That allowed a kitten to die in agony. That took thousands of pounds from people and spent it on furniture. That's taken thousands of pounds on patreon and fulfilled none of the rewards. That promised to sue a Tory, though she's funded and promoted by conservatives..
Disabled kitten. Vets said to PTS. Jack said no. Made monetised videos about the kitten instead. Locked it in a bathroom on its own. Further monetised videos. Kitten died, likely in pain from it's disabilities, Jack plays distraught after cashing in on kittens pain. Abhorrent
Hard to judge to what extent that was so but, if accurate, it sounds like very bad behaviour (to say the least).
If you send abuse online, STOP NOW. You're nothing but a bully.
And those keyboard warriors who think it's ok to abuse anyone (esp women) from behind anonymous accounts, you're pond life. And yes, I know I'm abusing you online. But I'm not hiding.
Always the way. One rule for them and one rule for everyone else. The irony that none of us are calling Jack names like this, just wanting answers while he abuses a wide range of people.
Tweeter “@jimellis123” is another very typical “Jack Monroe” supporter-type: the man of 50+ or 60+, retired or unemployed (as it seems), not seemingly poor or “struggling” (except possibly with mental “issues”); socio-politically— narrow-minded. Also, the “passive-aggressive” smugness, as seen in the tweet below:
I've done absolutely no research into anything I've ever tweeted. I just jump in with my knee-jerk opinion, frequently back the wrong horse, and try to sound knowledgeable about things I don't understand.

Sorry to read this I also gave money at a time when I could not afford it, believing she was honest, hardworking & doing good. When she tweeted hinting she had cancer I realised I'd been played. You wrote honestly and fairly The @guardian should investigate based on your blog
Jack, you don't have a stance. You have grifts. Constantly playing the victim to an army of imbeciles that keeps you in a more than comfortable lifestyle. Not knocking you for it, a fool & their money are easily parted. But the gigs near up now.
Do you agree that people should be manipulated out of their hard earned money or state benefits by someone who doesn’t need the money? Someone who admits to buying whiskey and sideboards then laughs at us all for being gullible?

@BootstrapCook over the years iv had boiled kettles poured over me, wallpaper scraper rammed under a knuckle (almost lost finger) been stabbed, bottled, hung with a chain, raped, had a gun held to my head and beaten unconscious. The lies u spew are insulting to real abuse victims
So, @bootstrapcook you are still taking money off Patrons whilst providing none of the published rewards. @PatreonSupport say it’s up to you to refund. Only time people seem to get the refunds they have requested is threatening small claims court. pic.twitter.com/x2mK9Hw9oq

No one drove the Jews out of their homes 2,000 yrs ago. Very few Jews were expelled by Rome. Jews lived there for centuries after Rome. The Mishna was written there. Jews moved to Rome, Athens, Alexandria, elsewhere voluntarily for centuries. Expulsion is a myth. https://t.co/LMHlvfMLeI
You see rubbish on Twitter about this, all about how New Zealand’s economy is “booming” etc. Well, the statistics lie, and for a very obvious reason: when you shut down a country almost completely for 2 years, the economy nosedives. Any activity at all after that seems, superficially, to be strong growth.
“Then there is her approach to Covid. Initially, the world bought into the myth that her government was a top performer in eliminating the disease.
The truth, of course, is that it’s relatively simple to quarantine remote islands. And having introduced a strategy of isolation and hard lockdown at the start of the pandemic, Ardern clung to a zero-Covid policy that was way beyond the edge of reason.
Her government shut down businesses, closed entire towns if a small outbreak of the virus occurred, and forced New Zealand citizens who happened to be abroad when the pandemic struck to apply to enter their own country, with only a tiny number of places available via an online lottery system.
At first, the policy was popular, with Ardern using Facebook Live sessions to communicate with the nation in a crumpled jumper, after putting her daughter to bed, in a manner that struck a chord with the public. Indeed, in the 2020 election, her party polled almost 50 per cent.
Yet, as time went on, opposition to this sometimes cruel policy (for which exemptions were only available for celebrities and the ultra-wealthy) grew, with critics lambasting a sluggish vaccine rollout and pointing out that the only world leader more bloody-minded in holding on to a strategy of eliminating Covid at all costs was communist China’s president Xi Jinping.
The crescendo of division and unrest saw huge demonstrations outside parliament.“
[Daily Mail]
“Huge demonstrations“…which were not covered at all by the BBC, Sky, ITN, or the “Lugenpresse” System msm outlets of the UK; and what about that bit re. “exemptions were only available for celebrities and the ultra-wealthy“? Peak pseudo-socialist nonsense. As in “the virus is so dangerous that only the ultra-wealthy and —of course— ‘celebrities’ can do whatever they like”…
It reads more like a parody than real government policy, even if it is from a joke state like New Zealand.
Try telling the truth, though, to the msm drones in the UK, let alone the Twitterati mugs. They are closed to the truth, on almost any subject.
Jacinda Ardern was just another Blair-type NWO/ZOG puppet (in fact, she worked for a while as a “SpAd” at Westminster, under Blair.
The whole interconnected milieux (msm “journalism”, “fashion”, TV/radio “comedy” and “drama”, in fact TV generally) should be purged, and I do not just mean deprived of its riches and platform.
Perhaps the New Zealanders could institute a “Jacinda Day”, akin to our “Guy Fawkes Day”, in which an effigy of “Jacinda” might be immolated in some way that produces few “emissions”… A kind of “damp squib” fire that produces little light or warmth. Symbolic, you might say…
So which narrative you guys trying to run with here?
1) Ardern is as tough as any man, and qualified for taking on the role of president! Yay, girlbosses!
2) Mean people hurt Ardern's feelings, so she's quitting
You're gonna have to pick one or the other there, guys.
Only (sort–of) joking… but then, Sinn Fein/IRA has become a joke anyway, a kind of —superficially— more militant SNP or Plaid Cymru.
Jack Monroe
Still “grifting”…
Jack Monroe on record saying she definitely is suing Lee Anderson. Hmmm there's plenty of receipts and media that back up his comments about her so I'm intrigued how she thinks this will play out. Also, what is a libellous lickspittle? https://t.co/rTEf67J4sT
Jack Monroe says she is going ahead with her libel case against Lee Anderson, Laurence Fox etc. I would normally side with almost anyone over them, but, if anything, their comments about Jack were actually far too generous. She is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing. https://t.co/Fl9lMZ3vpA
Still not told us how much she got the first time round. "Not a lot" and it's not been touched apparently. So that's all OK and above board and ring-fenced (in a personal Paypal account) and definitely, positively couldn't have been squandered on anything else. No siree.👍
The police should be investigating all that. Why should a black woman in Bristol be facing trial on very similar facts yet “Jack Monroe” not only not investigated but even still being promoted by some of the msm?
A typical “Jack Monroe” supporter might be a woman of about 60 years old, not badly-off, pretty ignorant but thinking herself rather educated, and living in some suburban or rural area; a Guardian reader, pro the Kiev regime, pro the facemask nonsense, needless to say “anti-racist” etc. Or a male, or LGBTQXYZ, equivalent, possibly retired, possibly a business owner in a modest way, probably “woke” etc. Certainly not “poor” or “struggling”.

Jack, you don't have a stance. You have grifts. Constantly playing the victim to an army of imbeciles that keeps you in a more than comfortable lifestyle. Not knocking you for it, a fool & their money are easily parted. But the gigs near up now.
The first part of that is plainly not libellous even on its face.
The second part may or may not be.
Me neither, I think this case (if there is one) will be fascinating. I wonder if all the recent interest in her means it will get played out on tv like Wagatha did? This could finally be the end of her.
How is saying that “Jack Monroe” “makes more money than the Prime Minister” libellous at all, even if not true? Answer: it isn’t.
Sorry to break this to you, but it is another Jack Monroe cash grab. The money that was donated to her the last time she made this false claim was blown on drink, drugs and sideboards, and she laughed about it in the papers. pic.twitter.com/AlywluyisM
(I’m still suing 30p Lee and his cohort of libellous lickspittles, by the way. I just can’t say much about it here because that’s how these things work)
So she claims to be “still suing” Con MP Lee Anderson. I wonder. So far, according to Lee Anderson, he has not received any pre-action correspondence as required under the Civil Procedure Rules.
An action in defamation must be brought within a year of the triggering cause, but even then is still expected to be brought expeditiously; in lieu of that, there may be costs consequences.
“Jack Monroe” still has, in theory, 3-4 months in which to bring proceedings, but I doubt whether they will be brought or, if brought, would be successful.
Can anyone rely on any statement put out by “Jack Monroe”? I think not.
Late tweets seen
Patreon was a clearly defined transaction of payment in return for goods, discounts and additional content. None of which happened. current estimates are c£150k/Yr Patreon income for no service delivery. Ergo a scam.
On the basis of the thousands of pieces of evidence, screenshots, Jack's own tweets & the determination to keep the tip money incoming, it's my honestly held opinion that Jack Monroe is indeed just grifting and taking advantage of the poor, fraudulently making money from poverty. https://t.co/vZBmT8Y76Ipic.twitter.com/P39hMTso5u
My guess is that “Jack Monroe” may even get a solicitor to send a “Letter before Action” to Lee Anderson, which will help her to continue to plead for money im various ways, and keep her in the news, so maybe attracting more mugs to subsidize her. There will, however, be no actual issuance of proceedings against Lee Anderson or Martin Daubney. If I am wrong about that, and proceedings are actually issued, that will eventually turn out to be a very expensive error for the “Bootstrap Cook”.
Actually, she goes lower. Lee Anderson claimed that 30p can feed someone at least for a day or part of a day; “Jack Monroe” claims 11p! Is there a prize for the first idiot or “grifter” who claims to be able to make a 1p lunch?
Omg what fresh hell is this? Jack Monroe has added tips to her Twitter now page now. Grifters gonna grift. pic.twitter.com/1cpFYGrZCj
The problem with this is that our reasoning is all on record. Back in early 2021, this website wasn't awash with Tweets saying "I won't be getting this vaccine because I tossed a coin and decided it might be dangerous." There was clear evidence and logic from the outset.
Exactly. From an email copied to my MP in April 2021: If a complete nobody like me with just an internet connection and a suspicious mind could find out this information, anyone could. pic.twitter.com/H5wcB3kBtt
Apart from suspicion re the supposedly lethal nature of covid, it was the ghastly £multi million propaganda campaign + all the awful 'nudge' stuff + bullying totalitarian edicts which confirmed for me that the vaccine was to be avoided at all costs.
1,000 mugs? I mean “patrons“… “Jack Monroe” must be envious. She now has “only” 635 utter mugs still subsidizing her lifestyle.
Seriously, though, who on Earth would send money to Owen Jones?
Apart from anything else, Jones has made several hundred thousand pounds (perhaps even half a million) from his books, owns his own apartment or house, and has all sorts of income streams, but the Patreon one alone has been bringing in between £36,000 and well over £100,000 a year.
Britain, home of the “grifters”, from Owen Jones and “Jack Monroe” through Julia Grace Patterson and many more.
Puzzling, though, nicht wahr? I mean, imagine that you are the sort of deluded mug who sends money to “grifters” like Owen Jones or “Jack Monroe”. What part of “Owen Jones is already making an income of £100,000+ a year” impels you to think “I know what to do with my small disposable income— send Owen Jones (who makes £100,000 a year or more) £10 or £20 a month extra“? I have to admit that I find that mentality utterly incomprehensible. There are so many dim and/or deluded people around.
Apparently, Ms. Ardern has somehow acquired, during her years in office, about £25M (no-one seems to know how, or from where), so for her it may make sense to live “the good life” while still relatively young. She represents the transnational conspiracy, not the New Zealand electorate.
Andrew Neil makes the point, but at the end of the day, a corrupt Kurdish carpetbagger like Zahawi is not really British, nor European, and has no real understanding of our way of life (as it was before the migration-invasion). He is certainly “Wily” and “Oriental”, but no “Gentleman”, in short.
I think Monroe has been informed of how many people are intending to take them to small claims court. That wouldn't look very good once it made the Guardian.
I have no more information than is publicly available, but it seems to me that most of the msm, and most of the “celebrity” crowd, are cold-shouldering “Jack Monroe” now, leaving only the pitiful mugs subsidizing her on Patreon. Somewhere between £2,250 and £27,940 per month. My guess is still about £6,000.
Adapting the well-known words of Lady Caroline Lamb about Byron being “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“, “Jack Monroe” has become “mad, bad, sad, and dangerous to know“…
As in a Ponzi scheme, the “Bootstrap Cook” will pay off the most persistent complainants, at least pay them some money, before any small claims are filed; she can use the monies still (incredibly) flowing in from others.
Meanwhile, “Bootstrap Cook” has found a fortuitous deflection-mechanism— tweeting prolifically about the resignation of Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand, and about how wonderful she supposedly is or was. “Useful idiots” are already tweeting in support. Nothing said about the totally “woke” nonsense that has taken over New Zealand because of Jacinda Ardern and those behind her, and nothing said about the dictatorial “lockdown” policies she spearheaded.
And I’m not saying it’s the definitive reason for her deciding to stand down, nor the only reason, but that feeling of having nothing left of yourself to give when you’ve been reduced to a pile of rape and death threats, gaslighting, relentless hounding? It’s a very familiar one.
Now she compares herself to any and all abused or supposedly abused women, deflecting from the storm of criticism of her “grifting”.
As for the “rape and death threats“, I have no idea whether Jacinda Ardern received any, or any credible, ones; I have not seen any evidence that “Jack Monroe” has received any at all.
Jack Monroe has never once been able to provide an example of the "abuse" she says she receives, which leads me to believe that she thinks the reasonable criticism she receives is abuse.
She can always be more insufferable. There isn't a news story, cause, discussion that Jack Monroe won't centre herself. Her narcissism needs constant feeding
Basically, “Jack Monroe” has spent a number of years taking money from people, tweeting prolifically, doing the odd interview or photo-shoot, drinking heavily and also (allegedly, plausibly) snorting cocaine, going on jaunts here and there, occasionally speaking to audiences for (apparently) up to £15,000 a time, and spending like a drunken sailor.

Jack Monroe is talking about online abuse today (well trying to piggyback someone else as usual!). But she's failed to address the question of her flying monkeys threatening, stalking & doxxing those who ask her questions. Funny that. https://t.co/ClPVX6KtwL
Okay two tweets from me today. I am aghast at the narcissism of #bootstrapcook Jack Monroe trying to get likes comparing herself to Jacinda. It is so transparent what you are doing. Only people with beards and absolute ignorance will be blind soon.
Another day of Jack Monroe having a pity party on the back of another woman. Difference is she never stole money or lied constantly throughout her career. The cheek of hitching onto a successful strong woman's despair. Shameless. Oh and where are the blogs you promised at NY?
Asked about Keir Starmer going to the conference of billionaires in Davos, Lisa Nandy boasts: "We make no apology for the fact that we will go wherever it takes to fight for the interests of the people of this country"
Lisa Nandy, a mixed-race System drone and freeloader, half-Indian and a member of Labour Friends of Israel. Her smug manner reminds me all too clearly of the Blairite Labour MPs of 20 years ago: expenses fraud Hazel Blears and others. Nein danke.
Incidentally, what does it say about System-drone journalists such as Emily Maitlis that they cannot, apparently, see through the fakery of “Jack Monroe”? What else has escaped them?
Sorry @BootstrapCook but there’s miles between you & Adern, geographically & otherwise. A lot of what you call “abuse” on social media is ordinary people just calling you out for the massive inconsistencies in your personal narrative & your dodgy fundraising. 1/
Women on the internet ARE targets for harassment but, in your case, you’re both feeding the beast with your behaviour online & offline. You have the power to shift all of this — either you want to be an internet “celeb” which means posting every moment of your day online & …3/
The issue is that she has told so many lies and spun so many sob stories that it’s impossible to trust anything she says. The girl who cried wolf or is it the them who cried wolf? She’s a woman today but if Sam Smith was in the news she’d be non binary to match.
Not sure that I agree with tweeter “@NicolaRSpurr” here about “Jack Monroe” being basically decent; the more I see about her the less I think she is at all decent. Quite mad, of course, as well.
Make up your mind @LBC. James ‘O’ Brien interviewed and promoted Jack Monroe.
She can’t cope with reasonable discourse. She has to have the “win. She needs her flying monkeys, neckbeard thirsty dads and “rage nannas” there to mop her fevered brow, pat her hand and tell her she’s the “very best of us”.
Last week I asked if Jack Monroe ever talked about anything other than herself and got rounded on by her gaggle of limp-wristed lentil weaving fans (who were 100% harsher than I was despite loathing bullies, appaz)
@BootstrapCook do u think the resignation could be due to her crazy response to COVID locking down everyone in the country for years?She never followed actual science and choose power over facts that 98.99999% survivable from COVID! Especially with all the true data coming out!
Ecce the latest “Jack Monroe” fan: “CEO, Interplanetary Expeditions Ltd. | Space technology transfer broker | R&D in advanced space propulsion systems; cooking; flying; music; Republic of Liverpool“. Not sure whether to add “bullshitter” to that list. Maybe, maybe not. In either case, does not seem to be anyone noticeably “poor” or “struggling“.

Starving people is not adequate compensation. There are no rising sea levels, the temperature has not gone up in 15 years. It's just a ploy. You are the carbon that they want to reduce. Hypothetically, if you wanted to destroy nations, how would you do it?
You need to wake up. Holland is a test to see what people will do. Canada has opened its first bug factory to produce food for animals and people. The WEF says on their website that meat consumption will be limited. A lot of countries are pushing to eliminate meat consumption.
I think today's nonsense is partly to bury the fact that it's the anniversary of the claim her local Asda (or online?) no longer sold the cheapest rice and the next available was 344% more. Numerous replies followed, with photos, showing this was not true but on and on she went.
Says the woman who repeatedly sends her flying monkeys "once around the block" to abuse countless women on her behalf. Jack Monroe is a raging, self-centered hypocrite. pic.twitter.com/EoVVXDdkMg
I think that “Jack Monroe” has three main goals at present:
1. to deflect all the criticism of her lying and “grifting” by clinging, albeit implausibly, to the Jacinda Ardern resignation and to the wider topic of how women are supposedly trolled on Twitter etc (which seems odd— many of the worst Twitter trolls are women, usually anonymous; at least they think so);
2. to try to retain or regain her reputation with the msm journalists and “celebrities” who made her into a sort-of “celebrity” herself;
3. to keep going her Patreon scam as long as possible (she is making tens of thousands monthly from it).
Actually, I think that, unless some kind of criminal or civil action impacts her, “Jack Monroe” has pretty much had her “15 minutes of fame”. I cannot see what more, new, or interesting, she has to say, really.
💬 FM Sergey Lavrov to President Lukashenko:
We see how NATO is making itself comfortable in Northern Europe (Finland & Sweden), which used to be a neutral territory to a large extent.
The main matter of importance now is to do what we can to ensure that, after whatever is going to happen in the next few years, Europe is rebuilt as a fully European space.
As some comments say, the defendant will in fact be out in 10 months, and quite likely earlier. The sentence is not really the “nearly two years” of the Daily Mail‘s “reporting”.
“Recruit numbers in the UK’s armed forces fall by 30% amid warning that supporting Ukraine in Russia war makes us weaker.
The figures, which indicate Britain’s Armed forces are shrinking at a rate, have emerged after the head of the Army, General Sir Patrick Sanders, warned the country was ‘weaker’ after donating so much equipment to Ukraine.“
“While he welcomed the equipment being put to good use to end Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukraine, General Sir Patrick said it could not be denied that the UK’s combat effectiveness would be compromised.
The MOD is coming under increasing pressure to reconsider this commitment due to the conflict in Ukraine and the heightened security threat to the UK posed by Russia, Iran and China.”
“The UK foreign secretary has justified the supply of Challenger tanks to Ukraine, saying it was designed to bring the war to a quick conclusion and there was a moral imperative to end the war soon due to the casualties and cost.
“This war has been dragging on for a long time already. And now is the time to bring it to a conclusion,” James Cleverly told a Washington thinktank…”
[The Guardian]
Talk of “political nincompoops“… Does James Cleverly really believe that any war against Russia can be brought “to a conclusion“, let alone “a quick conclusion“, with Russia, in effect, losing?
I suppose that that sort of view, based on total ignorance, is what you get when your Foreign Secretary is a half-caste with a “degree” in “Hospitality Management”…
“A furious tenant smashed up a car he found left in his parking space, despite not using the bay himself for 12 years.
Gavin Glover, 58, has neither a car nor a driving licence, but descended into a fit of ‘parking lot rage’ when the Volkswagen Polo was parked in a space allocated to him as part of his lease on a flat.“
[Daily Mail]
There are so many idiots of that sort around, and so many people, also, who “presume too much”.
It’s not hatred or trolling to point out the inconsistencies in her stories. She’s a fantasist that’s allegedly taken money from people for the best part of 2 years and not provided a single thing as promised via her patreon. I don’t understand why that would be acceptable?
A horrible and corrupt little bastard, completely in the pocket of the Israel lobby and Jewish property speculators. As with Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish lawyer, and his children are being brought up as Jewish.
Ed Balls is now irrelevant, politically, but people should remember that would-be dictator Yvette Cooper, now in the Shadow Cabinet, was one of the worst expenses cheats and freeloaders in the Westminster monkeyhouse. All that and an Israel-lobby puppet as well…
I'm so sick of this invasion. Because that's what it is now. A free for all.
It's lazy research for journalists and others to keep quoting the ONS story. The FOIs showed that JM was not the factor and only had what appears to be a polite, off-the-record chat with the ONS once. Still, that's one story that went far. From Channel 5 News to The PR Awards.
It’s that lazy research and lack of due diligence that has allowed Jack Monroe to continue her grift for so long. Some journalists and newspapers should be ashamed of the platform and veil of authenticity they have given her for years.
Hate to break it to you as you seem a decent guy. Jack Monroe lied about that. Freedom of Information Act requests revealed ONS had been working to change it since year prior, and only had 1 informal catch up with her, not the succession of meetings she claimed.
…and, once again, we see that a “Jack Monroe” fan is, again, a lady of a certain age, not (it seems) either “poor” or “struggling”, and (again) willing to tweet loudly without knowing basic facts.
Wow the 2nd refund in a week from Jack Monroe! Anyone received the promised Patreon content that was apparently posted out in December? https://t.co/0cE6hsvE6O
Does the amount matter? People donated a fiver from their benefits, wrongly believing Monroe was in the same boat. If you think £24 isn't much you must think that's a pittance but to the donor it was a lot. Be grateful for your own financial comfort rather than sneer at others.
Tweeter “@gillianography”, another typical “Jack Monroe” fan: not “poor“, not “struggling” (and almost certainly a reader of the Guardian), as well as, in her case, (and as she herself says) “neurodivergent nerd“, “brand strategist“, “copywriter“, and supporter of LGBTQXYZ etc.
As blogged previously, not only the “poor” and “struggling” but also the standard “working classes” of yore seem to be entirely absent from the ranks of the “Jack Monroe” supporters, as they sit reading their copies of the Guardian in, as it might be, the Waitrose cafe.
About fucking time. I'm glad you got it back, and how lovely of you to donate it.
Yeah, the people that told me they wouldn't hire me to write for them because I had a vendetta against JM on Twitter might have hired me, for a start lol
There used to be a BBC Radio 4 series called something like What is the Point of…? Ah, here it is…seems to be still running: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lt45k. Various things, from universities to Formula 1, were, perhaps still are, examined with a view to their utility.
I ask, “What is the point of Jack Monroe?” Not as an individual, but as a minor socio-political phenomenon.
In the well-known saying, “when the facts change, so do my opinions” [not the exact words of J.M. Keynes].
Leaving aside the “alleged” fraud and/or “grifting”, what is or has “Jack Monroe” really done to either reduce “poverty” (however defined), or to make it more bearable for “the poor” (however defined)? In my view, not much, if anything.
In my opinion, anyone can say “buy the cheapest food lines from [any supermarket]”, or (such as) “make tuna salad using canned tuna in oil, rather than buying olive oil separately” (I made that tip up myself…maybe I could be “Bootstrap Cook (2)”!).
As for the food produced by “Jack Monroe”, the less said the better, from what I have seen, though some might be acceptable. Many have said, though, that her costings are largely fictional. Again, leaving that aside, does that really help the “poor and struggling”?
Critics (including me) have made the point that to say, “I can feed a family of four for a week on £20” effectively says, by implied —if unintended— subtext, “State benefits are more than adequate“. It may be that four people could live, albeit on the most basic level, on only £20 a week, but food is of course only one expense of that hypothetical family. Heat, communications, water and electricity bills, clothing, transport. Etc.
Looking at how “Jack Monroe” has simply ignored inconvenient facts (such as her £20 shop not including items already purchased and stored), the truth is that she is just not very good at working out anything. Her various food recipes and plans are worthless, really.
As for the (non-existent) “Vimes Boots Index” of inflation, she not only has not produced it but, actually, is not capable of producing it (not with any accuracy, though she may eventually cobble something together in order to fool her hardcore Twitter fans).
Is advice such as “rinse sauce off cheap tinned pasta, replace sauce with something else, then serve” really useful? To anyone? The same goes for “take a tin of sardines, mix it up with rice, or pasta, and curry powder; heat and serve” (my abbreviated versions).
In a Britain where instant fake “celebrity” can make completely ridiculous people famous and wealthy, the “brand” of “Jack Monroe” (as supposed “single mother on State benefits, saving herself and others by clever budgeting and cooking“) gained some resonance around 2012-2013, but now that people know that she has not been “poor” for many years (and possibly never was), the “brand” is surely worthless?
I really cannot now see much point to “Jack Monroe” (the “brand”, that is), and I think that it is telling that, apart from a few idiotic journalists and (possibly) Nigella Lawson, most of the continuing fans of “Jack Monroe” seem to be people with mental problems.
More tweets
This. If I put it together (and many others; whatever you think of Tattle, they’ve been talking about this for years) why can’t the media? People have given Jack money to support work she isn’t actually doing, with her full encouragement.
As more & more people set up to start small claims court action against Jack Monroe for unfulfilled Patreon goods and "legal fees" fundraisers for cases that never happened, thought this was worth a share. Hope its helpful for many of you 👍 https://t.co/JvdtopCaaq
And by the way, I don’t say that with any sentiment of ‘serves them right’ or ‘told you so’. It’s terrible. And it’s a complete mess. And it could cause absolute chaos.
But we’ve got absolute chaos for the foreseeable future any way you look at it.
