The origins of Covid were never a secret. The real story — the greatest outrage — is that the people who knew or should have known the truth lied about it in order to hide the Chinese government’s role in mass murder. pic.twitter.com/Z1gJxsDQHc
As I blogged yesterday, if the Western governments knew, or know, that the Chinese government released the “Covid” strain(s) deliberately, that leaves them with the question “why?” and, also, with the dilemma about what to do about it.
China can hardly be invaded or attacked, or (in any serious way) subjected to economic sanctions, so what would be left? Verbal handwringing? That would make the West look weak, or even weaker. The only answer seems to be to pretend that the Chinese government did not do anything wrong…
Can't shake the feeling that something covid-esque in the loss of our freedoms is around the corner. Lots of talk about bird flu…

A year after Kiev cut off water for Donetsk, the Russians built the first segment of a new pipeline from a different source. These have been typical Kiev tactics since 2014 when e.g. they cut off the water supply to Crimea. pic.twitter.com/NJLbqOJ8du
When Kiev blocked Crimea’s water supply in 2014, comedian Zelensky used to mock its water-deprived residents, while the western media claimed it’s impossible to restore (much like they claimed the Crimea bridge was impossible to build).

‘#israeli’ ‘settler’ squatters with protection of occupation army have burned hundreds of local semitic #Palestinian shops, farms, homes and cars to the ground, and uprooted trees across the occupied West Bank in #Huwara, #Palestine – the worst ‘settler’ attacks the area has seen… pic.twitter.com/MclarOdYu9
What is happening in Huwwara is state-sponsored. From the settlers being bussed in, to the soldiers keeping a watchful eye & acting as protectors as the settlers carried out their pogrom, & the Israeli ministers & leaders celebrating the burning of an entire Palestinian town.
After commiting a pogrom in Huwara, the settler criminals walk free. They go "pray" at the site of the pogrom under military protection, in an isolated town reeling from a night of vicious terror. Huwara is a ghostown tdy, exactly how the Zionists want it.pic.twitter.com/eibACVzPXk
It is being reported that some Israeli Jews disapprove of the violence.As a matter of fact, Adolf Hitler was taken by surprise by Kristallnacht, and somewhat disapproved of it, knowing that foreign enemies would use it against him.
Of course, the Israeli state was built on that kind of terrorism and intimidation. Mass graves are still occasionally uncovered in Israel, the result of Jewish ethnic cleansing from around 1948.
In the UK, USA, France, “they” are a relatively small minority, and usually rely on other methods: threats of “legal action”, prosecutions etc, if anyone criticizes their behaviour; attacking people’s jobs, businesses, or professions; bribery of MPs and officials; a stranglehold over the Press, publishing, TV, radio etc.
I do not know whether those Huwarra/Huwara events have been covered by BBC, Sky etc. Maybe, maybe not.
I rarely bother to watch TV news now, partly because it is so dull as to be almost unwatcheable, partly because it is largely System propaganda. The political editors are usually either (((you-know-who))) or in the pocket of the same.
European values! A Palestinian kills 2 Israeli settlers = “terror attack”
500 settlers lynch a Palestinian aid worker, wound 100s, pillage & burn down half a town, dance at the ruins = “settler violence”
Watch: Israeli police disperse a solidarity demo with #Huwara in #TelAviv following the attack by settlers yesterday. Protesters shout: “where are the arrested from Huwara?” as the police released the few settlers that were arrested last night pic.twitter.com/Dl17iRBYHa
I doubt whether the Jew settlers would have had the courage to carry out their pogrom had they not been backed up by the Israeli Army. Basically, Jew bullies.
“Incidents of settler violence across the West Bank happen every day, and have steadily increased over the past few years: many of the 700,000 or so Israelis living in the territory and East Jerusalem are motivated by what they see as a religious mission to restore the historical land of Israel to the Jewish people. Settlement communities are viewed as illegal under international law, and one of the biggest obstacles to peace.“

“Covid leaked from a lab” is such an entry level, mid-2020 conspiracy theory.
Proper conspiracy theorists now realise that the whole idea of a novel ‘virus’ leaking from a lab is total nonsense and a deliberate distraction.

He has good taste in domestic property, though. His house on a river island at Sonning, Berkshire, is very classic (Georgian), and in a beautiful location across the Thames from some of the grounds of the school I unwillingly attended in the nearly 4 years 1970-1973; and his house on Lake Como, in the Italian Lakes region, is also beautiful and in a beautiful place.

“Jack Monroe” attracts the very worst supporters on Twitter, perhaps even worse than the “FBPE” loonies. Her core “constituency” is not “the poor”, but the unpleasant and/or mentally-disturbed.
Snap, is it a sock? Is it a sock showing how absolutely vile Jack Monroe can truly be under the guise of anonymity? @frugally_minded please take no heed of this twat. It says more about their mindset than anything else.
I think that there are at least half a dozen regular “Jack Monroe” Twitter “sock accounts” regularly posting while she pretends to be “taking (another) rest from Twitter”.
She has over half a million followers, her compulsive spending is funded by the public,and she is someone who made her name by giving advice to others about managing their budgets. Yet it turns out she cannot manage her own finances, let alone 'big Maths' or 'forensic detail'.

It took me a while to realize the extent of it, but my opinion now is that “Jack Monroe” is, or has become, an outright fraud.
Incidentally, the new book by “Jack Monroe”, Thrifty Kitchen (which seems to consist, judging from what one reads in the msm and on Twitter, of recipes from the BBC and other sources already available for free online), is not selling.
At present, according to the Amazon Book Sales Calculator, only a few dozen copies a day, if that (about 600 per month) are being sold on Amazon (which must be the major outlet). In fact, nearly new copies (the book was only released a few weeks ago) are available on Amazon for as little as £7.
I was interested to see the reviews on Amazon. The 5* ones (about 70%), may or may not be genuine, and have only a handful of up-votes each, suspiciously, whereas the 20% of reviews awarding only 1* (with some wishing that they could award zero stars) have hundreds of up-votes: 400, 500, or more. Telling.
All the same, 498 utter mugs are still signed up on Patreon to send her a total of between £1,743 and £21,912 per month (probably in the region of about £5,000, realistically). The very silly, or outright loonies, I should imagine.
That composer, of whom I had never heard until today, seems to have been one of the millions displaced by the large-scale disruptions and dislocations of the 20th Century.
Stray thought about the NHS
I suppose that, as usual, I have to preface my remarks by repeating that I do favour the core principle of the NHS, i.e. that it should be free at point of use.
Beyond that, I was just trying to think of any other service or product which is defended mainly on the ground that it is free or cheap. Air travel using “low-cost” rubbish airlines, such as Ryanair? I suppose that that is one.
I understand that what people do is pay a ludicrously-small amount (eg £50, £20, or even £10) each way for the flight, but then have to accept that everything usually provided gratis is charged for, and that the flight will land a long way from where you really want to go, such as “Paris Beauvais” airport (Beauvais is 55 miles from Paris) or, I think in the past, even “Paris Amiens” airport (Amiens is 160 miles from Paris by road or rail).
Still, I see the point. Hard to complain about £10 each way London (Stansted) to/from La Rochelle, even if the service etc is near rock-bottom (though I concede that I myself have never used Ryanair). Incidentally, La Rochelle Airport is right by the city.
What else do people accept almost purely on the basis that it costs little? Not much, I think. State primary and secondary education? Possibly.
Still, Ryanair flights do arrive as promised, much of the time. Can the same be said of the NHS? I fear not, or often not, these days.
No-one (except perhaps the ultra-wealthy) wants to swap the NHS for an American-style system, but there are alternative systems that might be examined. What is not helpful is for people to shout out meaningless slogans about “our NHS” etc, to refuse to see what a poor service it is often —not always— offering now, and to refuse to think about how (beyond simply funding it better) the NHS might be improved.
Interesting. Is that a ploy to get “Boris”-idiot back? Or maybe some of them want sinister “let’s bomb Russia” candidate Tobias Ellwood as PM. That would solve all our problems— permanently…
Fascinating watching the Tories destroy themselves with no outside help. It is not as if the opposition are particularly popular with the general public.
While it is true that Labour are only popular by default, in a basically unfree and binary system, they are still well ahead at present.
I am not so sure that the Conservative Party might not be electorally better-off ditching the Indian money-juggler, and even going back to “Boris”-idiot, but better not that latter; they really need someone relatively untainted, and someone British/English, i.e. not non-white. That might not save them completely re. the next general election, but it might be enough to produce a hung Parliament.
I sense that Labour is, even in these conditions of shambolic incompetence in government, not truly “popular”, but many people are becoming desperate for something. If only there were a proper social-national party, credible and organized, but there is none.
A new Conservative Party leader would mean yet another unmandated or unvalidated PM, the fourth since 2015 (or fifth, if you include the first two years of “Boris”-idiot). What price “democracy”?
Not going to lie, am fascinated by the @bootstrapcook thing. I noticed her because of the @AsdaServiceTeam PR lies, but its actually staggering the level of batshit and fraudulent she got away with. Her sock puppet use is mental. Utterly batshit.

Not that I disagree with him about Sunak’s “study maths until age 18” nonsense.

Of course, “@TheFreds” are quite right: changing the colour of the deck chairs on the Titanic changes nothing but the scenery.
Because it's pathological. To see people presented with the lies and still say she's the victim of trolls is absurd. Some people won't accept the truth when it's staring at them, it's sad really that people prop up the lies.
Serious pathological/psychological condition, I think.
I posed the question weeks, and I think even months, ago as to whether “Jack Monroe” sometimes makes up things and rolls out a pack of lies almost daring people to accuse her of lying, as in (to take a few examples only) that she was “on the game” (prostitution) in Essex (by reason of impecuniosity), that she attended the Grenfell Tower fire (60+ miles from where she lives), was “waved through the police cordon” (oh yes, the police would really allow a stray interfering rubbernecker to go through…) and even had plans of the building (why would she? How could she?).
The “Bootstrap Cook” said that she was so poor that she had to sell her small son’s toy dinosaur, that she had to take out lightbulbs in order not to waste electricity, and that she had to boil soap to make shower gel (which does not even stack up logically, when 90p shower gel lasts for 1-3 weeks with daily use, and when boiling soap costs money in itself; and why not just use the soap instead of trying to make gel out of it?). Ludicrous.
On several occasions, I have been certain in my own mind that her lies must amount to her thinking “surely the sad bastards won’t buy this one?!“, and then they (those who defend her to the marrow) do buy whatever absolute crap she comes out with at any given moment; while also (631 utter mugs as of today) each sending her between £3.50 and £44 a month!
In other words, at times she is certainly, in the well-known phrase, “having a laugh”, a laugh at the expense of the mugs subsidizing her and the others promoting her, the latter including Nigella Lawson, at least a couple of Labour MPs, and of course the media rats from the Guardian, Observer, BBC and Channel 4.
I think that “Jack Monroe” lies mainly because she enjoys inventing a fake or 90% fake narrative, and because she enjoys making absolute mugs out of those who not only defend her as a supposed —if risible— “champion of the poor” but who also send money to her!
She herself has said recently that her basic lifestyle, inc. rent, utilities, food, adds up to about £4,000 a month. The 631 utter mugs subsidizing her are anyway sending more than that (I am guessing about £6,000 but it may be more) each month.
I have no idea who that particular mug is, nor whether his/her problem is a mental illness or just plain everyday stupidity, but imagine taking money off someone like that on the false promise/threat that Con Party MP, Lee Anderson, was going to be sued for stating, entirely truthfully, something along the lines of the assertion that “Jack Monroe” is basically a fraud (at very least, a “grifter”) “living off the backs of the poor“, which is exactly what she is and does.
It is obvious that “Jack Monroe” is not going to sue Lee Anderson and/or Martin Daubney, though she has hinted at “things going on behind the scenes etc”.
Rubbish. Technically, she has 3-4 months left before the one-year limitation applies, but Lee Anderson has apparently not even received any letter before action.
It’s another “Jack Monroe” lie, in other words.
I think that “Jack Monroe” has one main intent, which is to be the centre of attention. Nothing else. I believe, rightly or wrongly, that even the money she gets from mugs etc. is very secondary to that central narcissism.
Incidentally, the “media folk” are still promoting her— there are a couple of articles even today in the Metro newspaper, giving “tips” and a recipe, and no mention of the scandal(s).

[Ava Gardner in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman]
Strange to see: I was just reading about Ava Gardner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ava_Gardner] and saw that she died in 1990, aged 67, at at her home in Ennismore Gardens, Kensington (London), near Kensington Gardens, where she had lived since 1968. I never knew. Had I thought of it at all, I probably would have assumed that she lived in either California or New York City.
I have only been to that exact place once, I think; in the very early 1980s, with someone escorting the then Metropolitan of Kiev (a kind of Russian Orthodox archbishop, the second-highest prelate of that church) who was then visiting London. The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition is at the end of a kind of hidden-away cul de sac there. We dropped him there, and were invited in (no-one else was around, as far as I can recall). The Metropolitan kindly gave me a bottle of Moskovskaya vodka.
Winner of the first "chinny reckon, that never happened" award of the year goes to Jack Monroe who thinks you get bookings by being unmasked as a fraud, exposed as lying in the press with 6 negative articles in a matter of days, a flopped book launch, and dropped by an agent. pic.twitter.com/zwIdcNORil
In other words, only 1 person out of every 235 is on the side of “Jack Monroe” and her tweet.
Most supporters of the “Bootstrap Cook” effectively say, on the larger scale, “let’s bin the Tories. Once ‘Labour’ are in government, everything will be fine, or start to be fine“…
Does anyone with any sense actually believe that? The migration-invasion (both across the Channel and otherwise) will continue unchanged in numbers, and Rachel Reeves and her fellow Labour Friends of Israel MPs will be even harder on the unemployed, disabled etc than the fake “Conservatives” have been— she said so expressly.
In a binary political system, and one where both main System parties are really almost identical, you cannot change things very much by squashing one party at some election or other, because the other one is thereby strengthened, and the “Deep State” policies continue largely unchanged.

This savage and unforgiving conflict will probably see huge escalation in 2023, especially in view of the refusal of the Kiev side to negotiate even a ceasefire unless Russian forces withdraw from all areas of mainland Ukraine and Crimea.
The Kiev side probably hopes that Putin will be deposed, and the war thus (?) ended. It may not work out that way, even if Putin does leave the scene.

I have covered the Monty Python-esque “Jack Monroe” “advice” previously, in several blog posts, so do not want to repeat it all today, but the sheer nonsense of it is incredible (e.g. make a dinner for 11p per head; e.g. open cans using a knife and a mallet or hammer; e.g. make a curry by mixing a tin of peaches and one of chickpeas with some curry powder, and heat in a microwave, etc).

Hi Chris (or Chris's like minded followers)
Please answer this question asked in good faith.
Why is there so much anger directed at this person?
Is it not worthy of respect that they are at least trying to do something practical to help, whatever you think of them politically?
If JM was 100% transparent in regards to valid questions people have asked JM in respect of certain financial issues that are unresolved. I will give you two concrete examples out of 6 different ones that I recall 2/n
She promised her Patreon subscribers regular posts, regular recipes, essays, postcards, signed content etc all dependent on the value of your monthly subscription amount. There has been consistently over 600 subscribers 4/n
This alone, taking a baseline of all subscribers paying the lowest tier at £1 a month, that’s a minimum of £600 per month, multiply that amount by 24 months (TWO years of no content) that equals £14,400 over the two years or £7200 per year. 6/n
Very modest— I doubt that “Jack Monroe” is pulling in less than £6,000 a month from Patreon alone.
People just really haven’t pushed this issue for the last two years because of a combination of JM citing her ‘various different mental health issues’ on Twitter as well as other ‘issues’ and subscribers 8/n
Thought it would be or sound petty, for the remaining subscribers, they saw that others who did ask and challenge it on Twitter then JM would reply with a nasty comment & all of JM’s twitter followers would 10/n
One particular person who I am sure won’t mind me tagging them and I am sorry if you get piled on again is @frugally_minded who JM vilified and tweeted personal DMs where they explained that their partner 12/n

Bcos she lies about being poor, being physically ill & mentally unwell to grift money from people who feel sorry for her. Cos playing as a poor person hurts real poor people bcos we’re told we should be able to feed a family for £20 /wk
She’s constantly pretending she’s been “driven off twitter” by bullies but she’ll be back in less than 48 hrs. As someone who does have ongoing physical & mental health problems, as well as autism & adhd, her BS is glaringly obvious to me. And it’s insulting
I notice that the number of “mugs” sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 each month via Patreon has now fallen to 623, as of time of writing; that’s about 25 fewer than yesterday. 25 mugs woke up (at last).
Stray idea
If you take as a notional starting-point the idea that there are about 40 million people of or over the age of 21 in the UK, and if you consider that the UK has an area of about 92,000 sq. miles, which is about 60 million acres, then that works out at, very roughly, 1.5 acres per person.
Now let us assume that the State took ownership over about 4%-5% of that land, in other words less than a tenth of an acre per person, allotted to any applicant such a plot, and let such people use the land allotted to them in a manner akin to an “allotment” (or, if they want, to do nothing with “their” land, which would help wildlife at least). It might have a huge effect, as well as helping poor people to feed themselves.
The details might need refining, and the concept would need organization, but I think that the basic idea would work.
Incidentally, if any object that the idea involves “expropriation”, I reply that that is so, but it would merely redress a small part of the balance from the time of the “Enclosures” of common land, and/or the “Highland Clearances”. The aim is, however, not backward-looking “revenge” but forward-looking policy.

These are the type of backward bastards flooding into the UK with the acquiescence and/or connivance of the (((occupied))) “British” Government.
Maybe Santander will offer some of them a job.

Cary, the working class are irrelevant in all this, Jack Monroe is mostly a product for middle class consumption. She makes Josh and Tamara from Crouch End look and feel like they're 'street' and care about the poor without any real effort.
That has been my impression. Apart from which, this whole idea that “poor people” —or others— need books of recipes is rather odd in the age of the Internet, when thousands of recipes of all types can be accessed in seconds and without payment.
I see from Twitter that, in face of the continuing and indeed increasing Twitterstorm, “Jack Monroe” has, once more, tried two of her favourite tactics— feigning illness, and withdrawing from Twitter interaction until the hue and cry dies down. She has done that (combination) frequently before, the last time only a few weeks ago. She always returns quite swiftly, ready to ignore the many cries of “will you refund the money you took?“.
Cookery books are bestsellers, quite often, but I wonder how many people (I presume mainly women) buy them but then never actually use them to make things? Not a rhetorical question. I actually do not know.
I do recall seeing, as a child of 10 (in 1967), several massive coffee-table-size books in the kitchen of my aunt-by-marriage, in Mosman, Sydney. I still recall the title of one: Larousse Gastronomique [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larousse_Gastronomique]. A huge and thick hardback book.
I have no idea whether my uncle’s wife ever actually cooked anything. I certainly never saw her make anything there, and that kitchen was as pristine as the rest of her large house on the side of a bay (Middle Harbour). There again, she had a cleaning lady and no less than three Norwegian au pairs (there to “assist” with her two adopted children— a baby and a small child), so perhaps the lack of mess or detritus was not surprising.
There was in fact one time I when I saw the said relative make something; in a holiday beach house at Palm Beach (in the area now called the Northern Beaches, the very northmost part of the Sydney area, but it was not called that then). The food in question was lobster with home-made (I think) mayonnaise, the first time I had eaten either; consumed outside. I do not recall having either lobster or proper mayonnaise again until I was in my twenties.

Rishi Sunak and his band of merry men/women like Boris Johnson and the short-lived Liz Truss are a complete JOKE for this country! Yawn. I love this country and they have destroyed it.
Sunak is actually proud of having participated in the lockdown/shutdown of the “panicdemic”, and proud of having sprayed money around like a drunken sailor!
Meanwhile, sick people are not being adequately helped, migrant-invaders continue to be ferried across the Channel, many are suffering financially very much, and the UK’s environment is being degraded.
Amusing to see affluent idiots like that porcine woman journalist (I remember seeing her commentating on TV years ago— she was constantly pumping out pseudo-“Conservative” and/or “austerity” propaganda during the David Cameron-Levita years) suffering a little by reason of her own virtue-signalling and/or lack of thought or preparation. England has too many of such silver-spoon scribblers. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Mills_(journalist).
The readers’ comments appended to that Daily Mail story are telling.
“£400M slashed from road repair budget” yet billions wasted on the regime of the Jew Zelensky, and so also on prolonging the war in Ukraine. Mad, but also stupid— our roads need repair. It is not a minor matter, but one that affects tens of millions of British people.
Very true. I raised the issue repeatedly when I had a Twitter account (before the Jew-Zionist lobby conspired to have me expelled in 2018); I believe I have blogged about it as well.
In socialist Poland in the 1980s, which I visited a few times, the population was divided, not only by those pro or anti the socialist government, but also, and in more immediately-practical ways, by those who had access to hard currency (mainly U.S. dollars, but also Deutschmarks etc) as against those who did not. Even a few dollars regularly made the difference between having the means to live semi-decently, as against having to struggle.
That’s the divide in the UK now, but with inheritance as the touchstone.
Ukraine
As can be seen from that map, the front is now essentially frozen, indeed literally, despite recent relatively minor advances by the forces of the Kiev regime.
What is more important is not shown on the map.
20% of the pre-2022 population of Ukraine is now living beyond the pre-2022 borders— in eastern, western and central Europe, and in Russia itself.
Ukraine now has a mainly non-functioning electricity-generating and distribution network.
Gas supplies, formerly supplied from Russia, have been halted.
Industry is mostly not in operation.
Agriculture, though continuing, cannot export most of its production.
The Kiev regime only fights on because it has become a complete NATO (NWO/ZOG) proxy, fuelled by shipments of arms, ammunition, petrol/diesel, medical supplies, clothing, other equipment and, of course, money, in vast amounts.
On the Russian side, the problems are different: indifferent military leadership, apparently-poor officership at all levels, low morale among troops, and apparent uncertainty within the high political leadership. Above all, no clear and expressed strategy in relation to ultimate war aims and how to achieve them.
In terms of presenting itself to the peoples of the West via public relations or propaganda, the Kiev regime has “played a blinder” from the start, meaning early 2022; the Russian effort in public relations has been wooden and ineffective by comparison.
“A care agency boss has described the NHS as “a joke” after a disabled man was forced to wait for 48 hours in A&E.
One of David Williams’ clients, who has severe epilepsy, had been taken to the Grange Hospital near Cwmbran, Torfaen, complaining of chest pain.
Mr Williams said he had to wait in a chair with no food for 36 hours.
Aneurin Bevan health board said delayed hospital discharges and winter viruses had led to longer waits at A&E.
Mr Williams, the responsible individual and director of Prestige Care Agency Services, said the NHS was a “failed system”.”
[BBC Wales]
“I don’t think it was any fault of the hospital, I think it’s a fault with the system.”
He added: “There’s a fear of destroying the myth that the NHS is fantastic and the best in the world… I think it needs a fundamental shake up.”
It does.

Because (in the whole of history in the UK) there were TWO gun massacres (Hungerford 1987, and Dunblane 1996), though in fact since the “gun laws” were tightened (and almost all privately-held handguns confiscated) there has been another such “spree killing”— in Cumbria in 2010.

1. “Dr” Louise Raw is far from being the brightest tool in the box, despite her supposed doctorate (said to be a Ph.D. based on one particular strike in London in 1888); 2. it raises the Twitter profile of Ms. Raw (and to her that is apparently important); 3. under GoFundMe rules, she can use any monies donated any way she wants, for political or even personal purposes, and the donor mugs will have no say in that.
Incidentally, Meghan Mulatta is not “black” but a half-caste (or “mixed race”, if you prefer). You don’t have to take it from me— look at the words of the Mulatta herself:

The “tips” in Grifty Kitchen are dangerous, patronising and forget one vital thing – most people struggling or in poverty haven’t always been in that situation and are not stupid or lacking basic resources. I have pan lids, it’s the gas to cook with I can’t afford! #jackmonroe
Hey @TrussellTrust, you're backing this book too right? This is highly irresponsible and also very insulting to people in poverty. I've been poor, I've never not had a tin opener. Poor people aren't stupid. There are a fair few alarming (and harmful) 'tips' in this book.
I'm tired of people telling me that Jack Monroe is a force for good and has done good things for those in poverty, when she has made money off those people and continues to cosplay as a poor person while being positively middle class and doing NOTHING.
At times over the past months, since I really began to look at her activity, I have thought that “Jack Monroe”, “Bootstrap Cook”, tries to “push the envelope” of outright fantasy/lies out of pure devilment, as if to say “I wonder how far I can go before those mugs twig?“, as with her Grenfell Tower “firefighter” fantasy (she did once, long before Grenfell, answer the telephones in some fire call centre, but in Essex, not London); then there was her “I am so poor that I have to boil soap to make shower gel” etc, followed by the implied subtext, “please send me —and my disabled child— money“.
Incredibly, as of time of writing, no less than 647 utter mugs are sending the “Bootstrap Cook” between £3.50 and £44 each and every month via the Patreon website. Thousands of pounds each month. In fact, 647 is an increase of 4 since yesterday; amazing when you know how “Jack Monroe” has been forensically exposed for months on Twitter.
Reading a few tweets, one realizes how dim many of the “Jack Monroe” supporters are. Interesting demographically, though. Few young people, and few of any age who are —in any sense— “poor”.
Christmas University Challenge
Once again a match between two teams of alumni (Balliol v. Hull). I thought semi-final, but I now see on Twitter that it was the final.
The winning team, Balliol, was this time no worse than me, though I should say no better. Overall, I think that I still got more than both teams together. I did OK, I think, if I myself say so; after all, there are 8 of them playing.
This 👇 Do not enable these poverty ghouls under the pretence of helping out foodbanks. Shameless grifters like LadBaby and Jack Monroe thrive when they fool you into thinking you're helping. Don't be their useful idiot this Christmas. https://t.co/n9U3RIGbjP
I had certainly heard of “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, but never of “LadBaby”. Just looked him up on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LadBaby. Seems to be a typical UK-in-2022 waste of space, making a living by posting rubbish online.
How pathetic that someone is trying to intimidate @AwfullyMolly for daring to expose Jack Monroe & her decade long faux poverty scam. My theory is that it proves how correct Molly is. Saw similar last year when another scammer was bysted and her sister was playing similar games.. https://t.co/D5xM8XIQ2q
Exactly my opinion. I may be wrong, but it seemed to me some time ago that many of those Twitter accounts saying “let’s all send money to ‘Jack Monroe’” were actually…Jack Monroe herself priming the pump.
Of course, if it were to transpire that “Jack Monroe” has and/or had other Twitter accounts which encouraged people to donate money or sign up to Patreon etc, then that might well be taken to be evidence tending to prove that “Jack Monroe” had fraudulent intent from, if not the start of her activities, then anyway for some years.
Jack Monroe has enabled this. Genius Grift. Tick Tock. #timesup
Exactly like the “Bootstrap Cook” stuff: carbohydrate-heavy food, with few vitamins or minerals. This type of food, if not supplemented, leads to public health problems down the line.

However justified the NHS strikes may be from the employees’ point of view, the fact is that to leave people helpless and suffering is just very wrong, to say the least.

I don't disagree. But nothing can be done until enough people are on board. So sharing information is important, your cartoons are a form of that too. By your own logic one might say they are futile, there are multiple tools to achieve one's goal.
The above tweet is from a lady whose husband developed an awful and painful condition, as a result of which he and she both lost their jobs and were plunged into poverty. She paid out monies to “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, then (apparently because the items to be provided in return were never supplied) asked for a refund, but was fobbed off. A circumstance common to many who have sent monies to “Jack Monroe”, it seems (reading tweets about it all).
Is awful – only 1000 to those who actually need it – if indeed they do & even want it in the first place. Give money & food & give recipes for free ffs don’t make money off the back of those in need, awful
After everything recently exposed, thick Labour frontbencher Angela Rayner is following “Jack Monroe” on Twitter? Very misguided, in view of the continuing controversy.
Jack Monroe is legally obliged to be transparent about her fundraising. She falls short if the required transparency threshold as well as several other metrics from the fundraising regulator, hence multiple formal complaints being made about her so an investigation is initiated.
That “@AntheaRogers” Twitter account has been accused of being a “Jack Monroe” “sock-account”. Maybe.
There is obviously a need for an investigation by competent agencies or orgnaizations into the whole “Jack Monroe” thing, especially the money and/or fundraising aspects.

Anybody else remember the £37 Billion @MattHancock and @BorisJohnson et al blew on the Covid track and trace app that had to be binned? Never forget, never forgive.
It is only when you consider what else the UK government could get for £37 BILLION that you comprehend the sheer scale of the wastage. For example, completed cost of about 12 new aircraft carriers like these two:
Worked in NHS for about a year. Now plays on the “doctor” thing to make money as supposed “activist”; was selling facemasks etc online.
This is an excellent illustration of the harm Jack Monroe does. Due to her scams, refusal to be transparent, aggressive attacks on dissenting voices & more, the public turn away from & distrust organisations with links to her. #bootstrapcook#bootstrapcrook#jackmonroehttps://t.co/N74nvid3pa
Organizations need to be more cautious before allying themselves with people who may not be quite what they seem, as in the notorious Jimmy Saville case.
I am one of your patients and I really would strongly suggest not sending people in Jack’s direction. Not only because a lot of the recipes are nutritionally poor, costed incorrectly and too low in calories for a healthy adult, there’s fraudulent accusations hanging over her.

Also, my mother's a fierce benevolent woman in her late 70's who thought Jack Monroe was amazing. £12pm may be buttons to JM but for her it was a significant amount to spend. Just wish my Mam wasn't (self admittedly) a shit cook. Everything she made from JM's books was inedible😂
I personally cannot judge as to whether, or to what extent, “Jack Monroe” is “sad, bad, or mad“, in the well-known phrase. Maybe a bit mad and a bit bad…but that is just my opinion, based on what I have read, and 66 years of life-experience.
The more I read about “Jack Monroe”, the more I think “bad” rather than “mad”, in fact.
Yeah I know. It was the perfect storm 😂 If my Mother had better taste we'd both be non the wiser about Jack Monroe and her decade long dupe. My Mam is just the tip of a very large iceberg unfortunately.
As I have blogged previously, some of the photos seen on Twitter of the food made from the recipes of the “Bootstrap Cook” seem to be a “dog’s dinner” at best; some have made me feel actually unwell. I don’t mean when made and eaten (I would not make stuff like that anyway, still less ingest it) but just the mere sight of her “food” on Twitter.
I concede that I am not very domesticated and, until I married for the first time (in 1990), had mainly eaten cold food when dining at home (in my twenties and early thirties). In fact, I am still not much of a cook, though I can offer to my readers the following idea, which is relatively cheap, rather tasty, fairly healthy (though admittedly rather high-fat) and, best of all, can be made from start to finish in about 45 mins:
That “zucchini bake” can be added to; you can add whatever vegetables are around— mushrooms, broccoli (inc. stalks, if grated or sliced), carrots etc. The only essentials are eggs, butter, zucchini/courgettes, salt, pepper, and cheese (any kind, but cheddar works well, maybe with some parmesan). Some basil helps.
I do not think I shall make a regular thing out of suggesting recipes. I would probably run out of the things that I myself have actually made in my whole life after a week or two. Still, I hope that the above is useful for someone.
About £5 to serve 4 people, or one person four times. Basic, yes, but I think that it stacks up pretty well against the offerings of “Jack Monroe”…
I'd been a fan since not long after Hunger Hurts – I own Monroe's first book – until I read Awfully Molly.
My brother seemed to think she was dodgy but I just couldn't see it.
Guess by the time she contradicted a previous tweet or part of her back story I'd forgotten it.
Oh Monroe's recent blog post emulating Hunger Hurts & claiming to be too poor to buy soap was a bit of final straw too.
Watched Monroe host a BBC TV show during the first lockdown – she tweeted she was paid a lot & was saving most of it at the time – where did all that money go?
I looked at a few tweets by that stupid “Susan Macpark” woman. A Scottish pseudo-“nationalist” who, however, supports migration-invasion by backward non-whites. Crazy. She often flings vituperation at others, either tweeting that their parents must despise them, or simply insulting their intelligence (despite the unthinking tweets that she herself puts out).
I suggest Susan that you read the “just giving” page of .@frugally_minded and then understand it’s her money that Jack Monroe took, never donated to charity, and refused to refund even though this lady is in desperate need. Maybe donate a little yourself.
That Macpark bitch will not give a penny. Guaranteed.
As to “Jack Monroe”, I have no idea whether she will return to Twitter (more likely than not, because she can then plough on, publicizing her stuff to those who are unwilling to question; she will simply try to ignore the gathering storm), or whether she will just think “well, I have £2,000-£7,000 a month coming in from 600-700 mugs on Patreon, plus maybe another few thousand from other sources, so why bother with Twitter?“

As far as that specific building is concerned, I do not entirely agree. Architecture should be about both form and function. The form, in this case is (in my opinion) not so different in both cases, and I expect (though I have never been inside) that the function is better (for today’s purposes) in the replacement building. Admittedly, it is rather ugly, but so was, in my view, the building that it replaced.
Famous missionary explorer David Livingstone was a bit like that.
Only person I know who died with it was an elderly man (83) went into hospital as he was having trouble walking, appeared to be on the mend after a few days then tested ‘positive’ in hospital and was dead 4-5 days later. At no point was anyone allowed to visit him. Very strange.
Absolutely this. Imagine the difference that could have been made for this couple if even a fraction of the Patreon/tip jar/spite donation/'legal fees' that Monroe has pocketed could have gone to them.
Isn’t it brilliant that the only verifiable decent outcome that has arisen from Jack being on Twitter was completely by accident, and as a result of her own vanity, and the spite she throws at the people who are much poorer than she is who she has been ripping off for years.
“...and I can’t understand why she does it“? Really? how about “because she is getting £2,000-£7,000 a month for free, from (as of today) 667 mugs, for doing absolutely nothing but proclaiming that she is (in some unspecified way) ‘campaigning’ etc)”…
She's been caught scamming astronomical amounts of money from people, using provable lies & manipulation to make them donate. Luckily, she's more or less cancelled now. https://t.co/5hWJLdCMUI
Yet the 667 mugs (as of today) are still paying out £3.50-£10 —or more— each month to her, incredibly.
Besides Jack Monroe being a two-faced, narcissistic, dishonest, duplicitous, abusive, lying and grifting grief-thief for the last decade all whilst duping well-meaning people out of cash they can ill afford??
“Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive” [Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, A Tale of Flodden Field].
2) Jack pretending to be poor while the pictures of her own house that she has shared on social media show that it is full of seriously expensive stuff – tens of thousands of pounds of high-end furniture, electronics, appliances and clothes?
3) The endless lies that she herself posts, including this absolute banger from yesterday which was clearly a confected story that she could use to explain why she’s about to have really expensive Farrow & Ball paint and wallpaper in her new home: pic.twitter.com/hJiMkauTVq
Ha ha! Incredible, yet at the same time almost inevitable. The “Bootstrap Cook” wanders lonely as a cloud through Southend or nearby, only to meet someone, by Fate or chance, who will no doubt (in this fairy-tale) “gift” “Jack Monroe” everything she needs or wants for the decoration of her new home.
Well, I am myself rather susceptible to tales of wonder and magic —and sometimes incredible “co-incidences” do happen— but, having now read a number of conflicting fantasies from the tweets etc of “Jack Monroe” (tweeted or said to interviewers over the past decade), I think it only fair and sensible to doubt this one (too).
It's really rubbing it in, isn't it? She'll literally talk shit about anything for hours but completely fail to address the important stuff.

“I was never able to paint colour on the walls in my rentals” is my new favourite Monroe lie, replacing Georgia Church Suppers.
So long as 667 mugs continue to shell out up to £10 monthly for absolutely nothing but to be part of the “Jack Monroe support echelon” or virtue-signal club, she will be laughing all the way to the bank (or the paint and wallpaper shop), even if (as no doubt will now happen) the msm “Bootstrap Cook” career on TV, radio, and in the Press ends, with the producers, journalists, and publishers running for cover (as I expect they already are).
As someone with an autism diagnosis who is a carer for someone else who is autistic, I don't believe that Jack is actually autistic. Her diagnosis stories are many and varied and her takes on autism are frankly, bullshit. She's certainly no advocate for autistic people.

The allegation now is that “Jack Monroe” is using dozens of “sock accounts” to interact on Twitter while pretending to have left (having deleted, for the (?) time being her main “@BootstrapCook” account).
Seems plausible to me, looking at the myriad of Twitter accounts with zero or few “followers” that have popped up in the past days and weeks, all attacking critics of “Monroe”.

It’s not just about pushing the climate change lie. The elites want us to abandon our respect & appreciation for art. It sparks imagination, it inspires, it transports us. They don’t want that. But it also holds value when everything else crashes. They’ll keep the real ones safe.
I am waiting to see whether any art-lovers or passing citizens will really deal properly, and on the spot, with those sub-terrorists. I hope so. I really hope so.
We now know that the Chester MP (who wasn't arsed and ignored this tweet) had other things on his mind, and has since deleted his account. https://t.co/nKv0b0XM7H
Seems to have been singularly inept. Looking at his Wikipedia entry, almost nothing from about 1990, when he obtained his degree, to 2015 when he became an MP. 25 years. What was he doing? Mere vulgar curiosity on my part [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Matheson_(politician)].
The by-election will be interesting.
It was a scam, the people who owned the titles were paid by their banker cohorts leaving the people with the debt while they made a fortune. It was more about money laundering and endebting the people than about slaves. https://t.co/Gyb17V9DwJ
Oops. Guys…. Avoidance is the legal one. I think you mean evasion. Maybe that diversity hire you got to create this post wasn’t a good choice after all
This is just insane. Children don’t need a C19 vaccine. 1. Most have had C19 2. Potential harm of vaccine outstrips benefit 3. Healthy kids are at almost zero risk from C19 UK might approve Covid vaccines for BABIES before Christmas | Daily Mail Online https://t.co/eEPr3RR8OO
With all eyes on Westminster, I thought I'd offer a view before the Houses of Parliament were even built.

That cartoon is out of date; the “Conservatives” are quite as bad as Labour now.

Geez can we stop pretending public sector cuts are bc of Mini Budget. We borrowed £325 billion for Covid, at least another £60-100 billion for energy. Our debt, at £2.4 trillion, is highest for 60 yrs, nearly 100% of GDP. On both left & right politicians need to tell it straight.
Exactly so. The stupid, unnecessary and dictatorial “measures” taken during the “panicdemic” were what really shoved the UK into the economic mire.
Rishi Sunak becomes Britain's 57th Prime Minister. He inherits a divided party that is languising below 20% in the polls, a divided country in the midst of the most severe cost-of-living crisis for 50 years, & a divided Union that is cracking at the seams. A truly daunting inbox
"I don't think I'll be voting again after what happened to Boris Johnson", says one woman in a swing Red Wall seat. "My vote doesn't matter anymore". This is the big risk. Many people who were brought back into politics by Brexit & Boris Johnson now give up on politics altogether
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, but already it was impossible to say which was which – Animal Farm. https://t.co/WUBSohkIX7
A corollary is that all these fields have increasingly become provinces of the wealthy, because post-graduate education is expensive, and is now a gamble: it comes with no guarantee of a job in the relevant field.
(I think there was a golden age of literacy, between roughly 1850 and 1950 – the reading public was ever growing, and reading ever more, and serious writers could both emerge from and speak to this wide public.
There's nothing wrong with this, as a type of serious intellectual formation, but it's a problem if it's the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 type of intellectual formation that can actually grant entry to the public sphere.
If we no longer have public thinkers sustained by a public readership, but rather only post-graduate-degree holders sustained by institutions, we have restricted intellectual respect to a class for whom deference to expertise and to authority are often second nature.
To be sure, there is cause for hope in the emergence, outside the approved public sphere, of a reasoned, multi-faceted and persisent Covid counter-narrative.
And I fear this pattern will repeat itself again and again, until the gap between blinkered expertise and addled ignorance is filled, or that gap leads to such ruination as to make the problem irrelevant.
I have blogged about some of that previously. Some fields of academia, eg sociology, linguistics, English language etc, are now replete with not only specialized language (as with mathematics, or physics, inter alia) but also empty jargon. Jews are not the only ones swimming in the polluted waters, but they are very prominent.
"What he said: This will mean difficult decisions to come. What he meant: I have nothing to offer but high prices, low wages and recession" – @JohnRentoul on Rishi Sunak's speech https://t.co/2a1SoPQqxU#RishiSunakPM
Sunak’s 1930s politics/economics, together with Labour’s unexciting similar policies, may open the door to a real alternative— social nationalism (once people wake up, if they wake up).
Do you agree these people have no business being MPs let alone being appointed as ministers?

There’s a staff shortage crisis in care homes. In England, there are 165,000 vacancies across this sector. So forcing out approximately 40,000 care home workers for deciding against a medical procedure was discriminatory and massively counterproductive. https://t.co/oJibPjdMQi
Absolutely disgusting. Those guilty of making the wrong decisions (eg Little Matt Hancock) were applauded at the time. The whole mess was also supported, overall, by Starmer-Labour, incidentally.
People working in those situations must now be better paid, and conditions improved.
A framed narrative has been peddled around our political discourse that Liz Truss (a 45 day Prime Minister) somehow trashed the economy. In reality, the economy was trashed by months of lockdowns & £500bn of quantitative easing. The Chancellor at the time was Rishi Sunak. https://t.co/VncHDKGKlY
Cleverly kept on. God. Why? Another embarrassment for our country.
As for Simon Hart, he is an expenses-blodger who employs his wife on expenses, and takes a very large number of free First Class rail journeys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Hart.
Good to see some thick dorks getting the sack though: barrow-boy barrister Brandon Lewis, thick Welsh barrister Robert Buckland, Wendy Morton (how did she ever become an MP?), Chloe Smith (ditto), absurd Kit Malthouse, Rees-Mogg.
Ben Wallace to stay at Defence. I suppose that means that vastly more sums of money (and arms) will be wasted on Zelensky’s Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, while British people starve in their unheated homes (if indeed they have a home).
The Jew Shapps removed as Home Secretary (that must have been another record (5-6 days?), but still in Cabinet as Business Secretary. I thought that Sunak wanted to project an image of probity?
I presume (no news yet) that horrible creature Therese Coffey will also get sacked.
If there is any justice in this world Therese Coffey will be relegated to back benchers today and voted out at next GE. The 9 reports she hid from DWP on disabled poverty and deaths plus not implementing safeguarding policy puts her up there with Himmler in my eyes. #Evilpic.twitter.com/hNuKE3EADo
Beth Rigby of Sky News, getting a selfie with Therese Coffey, in full Philip Schofield mode. "She's really quite lovely." Just fuck off, and take the rest of the UK media with you. You're no longer fit for purpose. pic.twitter.com/kLHq3C278D
I think he is being serious and not sarcastic, incredibly.
He did not add “Raab, Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary—half-Jew“, of course. The msm do not want the British people to wake up to that (((aspect))).
Even so, what a disgrace— Jews, Indians, Kurds, blacks. Where are the English?
A few tokens here and there, such as Jeremy Hunt (even he has a Chinese wife).
Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Again.
At least Thérèse Coffey has finally achieved something in her career
She now holds the record for the shortest serving Health Secretary in history.
That Therese Coffey is even an MP speaks volumes about how broken our political system now is.
As for the Indian money-juggler, if he is not careful, he may end his time as Prime Minister by being carried out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered.
Some weeks ago a Norwegian court ruled that covid border controls were illegal after 6 months.
Looks like common sense is prevailing at the courts all over the world now.
This is so important. NOBODY should have been bullied or shamed into having a vaccine, or been stripped of their livelihood for a medical decision. History will judge those who pushed this policy very harshly. https://t.co/JCrPwypKOd
Only the first step. Later, Little Matt Hancock, the Communist bitch on “SAGE”, “Professor Lockdown” (Ferguson) and many many others have to be —eventually— put on trial and/or otherwise punished.
Literally hundreds of people joined @reformparty_uk today. Presumably they’re former Tory supporters who no longer feel that the Conservatives are conservative. Bye bye red wall……
Quite. You still see people (who seem to think themselves terribly clever) tweeting “freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences“, whereas, as “@RealBlackIrish” points out there, that is exactly what it means. The “freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences” formula would mean, in effect, that Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China and present-day North Korea all had free speech.
There was (maybe still is) a mediocre law lecturer from East Anglia, one Paul Bernal (descended from the well-known part-Jew 20thC scientist, J.D. Bernal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Bernal), who used to regularly and unthinkingly tweet that formula.
