7/10 this week, thus again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I did not know, or could not bring to mind, the answers to questions 3, 5, and 7 (and I admit that my correct answer to question 1 was a pure guess).
“Jack Monroe”, even after the latest fall in “patrons” (donors) still presently has a gross monthly income from Patreon of between £2,222 and £27,940; probably around £6,000, at a guess. That’s every month, and possibly taxfree. For nothing.
A few months ago, “Jack Monroe” had 800 mug donors sending her money, so it seems that the Twitterstorm around her this year has had an effect.
If what I read is accurate, she had only, or about, 200 “patrons” until part-Jewish TV cook Nigella Lawson promoted her by mentioning her somewhere, after which the total soared to 800+.
The public is fickle, easily manipulated.
Jack Monroe is far from a good character – she's a gaslighting conwoman who preys on people's good nature. There's been no "vitriol" towards her that I've seen, just legit questions about charity money & other donations.

The continuing storm around “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”
Very hard-hitting tweets, but maybe required reading for some sadly misled people in public services, charities etc, who are still apparently unaware of the storm around “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, which gained strength in July/August 2022 and has scarcely abated.
I think that some people in executive positions at charities etc, mentally bought into the whole “Bootstrap Cook” thing many years ago, and do not want to see how it has now become a very tarnished “story”.
Having now seen more material over the past two months, I think that that assessment was more than fair. Perhaps I was too lenient.
This is not a matter which concerns only “Jack Monroe” and the many people who are alleged to have been cheated by her. This is a matter of considerable public interest and concern.
People have to have reasonable confidence that, when they donate money to a cause, or transfer the same, in order —or partly in order— to receive goods and/or services, that they are not being lied to, bamboozled, treated as “mugs”, and cheated out of money.
One of those allegedly cheated by “Jack Monroe” is a lady (not known to me other than via her tweets) called (I believe) Heather Booth (“@frugally_minded” on Twitter), who says that she donated monies on the Patreon website to “Jack Monroe”, but received neither the goods promised nor the refund(s) later demanded.
That lady, who with her disabled husband is now in a terrible financial situation, has not only not been refunded by “Jack Monroe” but also has had to contend with online trolls since the behaviour of “Jack Monroe” has become known online. Whether “Jack Monroe” herself was involved in that, I have no idea.
As to the overall “Jack Monroe”/”Bootstrap Cook” situation, it seems to me that the responsible regulatory officers (eg for fundraising and/or trading standards) should investigate it. There may well be a need also for the police to investigate whether any offences around alleged fraud have been committed.

Indicates, as much as any poll can, 18-24 months before a general election, that it may be that the Conservative Party will lose badly but not catastrophically.
It was only weeks ago that the Con Party was on 20%; now 30%. Labour Party has slipped back slightly, and LibDems have slightly improved, to 10%.
Of course, under a proportional representation system, that might give the LibDems 65 MPs, whereas of course, under FPTP voting, 10% gives between 0-20, maybe more MPs, depending on how many votes are concentrated wherever. UKIP got 12% of the vote in 2015 and only 1 MP (a previously-elected Con Party MP) instead of the 78 that might have been expected under a pure PR system.
Despite much noise from Farage, it is clear that, so far, Reform UK is not breaking through. That may be partly because Farage himself is a busted flush, having stabbed his own Brexit Party supporters and candidates in the back during the 2019 General Election. Also, in my view, because the new-ish “Reform UK” is playing the same sort of pseudo-“libertarian” and Brexit tune as did Brexit Party and UKIP before.
The national mood has moved. People want public services that work, not the right to try to become low-tax “entrepreneurs”. What most white British (especially English) people want, but unconsciously, is a form of social-nationalism suited to UK conditions. There is, however, no party even approximating to that.
Looking at that opinion poll, it may be that people are now seriously starting to assess Labour, which is aping most “Conservative” policies and, as someone once parodied Starmer, “we approve of workhouses but they must be run in a fairer way, and more efficiently.”
Rachel Reeves has, over the years, repeatedly said that she would be even harder on the unemployed, sick, and disabled than have been the Con Party governments. She is also a member of Labour Friends of Israel, like Starmer and all his Shadow Cabinet.
On immigration, Labour would allow in even more blacks and browns.
On free speech, Labour would be even more restrictive (hardly surprising, bearing in mind the powerfully poisonous influence of the Jewish lobby on Labour now).
All that, however, does not let Sunak and Con Party off the hook. Many previously Con voters are likely to see the present government as a shambolic mess, and therefore to abstain, or to vote LibDem. That may not result in many (or any) new LibDem MPs, but may have an effect in some Con constituencies.
Likewise, the Reform UK candidates are probably not going to become MPs but may well take votes away from Con Party in marginal constituencies.
It is clear to many that the Government is rubbish, but that the Opposition is also rubbish.
The Conservative Party has never scored as low as 30% in any general election. The closest was in 1997 (30.7%), which resulted in 165 Con MPs (in a slightly larger Commons— 659).
A few percentage points makes a big difference at this level. In 2001, the Con vote was 31.7%, and MPs elected numbered 166, just one more than in 1997, but in 2005 the 32.4% vote-share resulted in 198 Con MPs (in a 646-member House of Commons).
In 2010, David Cameron-Levita’s Con Party achieved only 36.1%, but had elected 306 MPs (out of 650).
The oddity of British elections is shown by the fact that, in 2017, Theresa May’s Con Party achieved 42.3%, yet only had elected 317 Con MPs (out of 650). The devil is very much in the detail.
In 2019, Boris Johnson’s Con Party received a 43.6% vote, not much more than in 2017, but the number of Con MPs jumped to 365.
All the same, once the percentage vote goes below about 35%, the number of MPs elected starts to plummet; below 30% would probably mean fewer than 150 Conservative Party MPs, below 25% a near wipeout.
At 30%, then, the Conservative Party is still just about in the game.
I wrote the following assessment of “deadhead MP” Matt Hancock over three years ago, long before he betrayed his constituents by accepting £400,000 to go on the so-called “reality” (i.e. unreality) show I’m A Celebrity— Get Me Out of Here:
“The leadership of that Church, always the first to surrender to the spirit of the age, has even advised vicars to avoid having carol services on the Sunday before Christmas in case they clash with some football tournament now raging in the Middle East.
A document called Making The Most Of The World Cup Final 18th December 2022, says: ‘Churches often hold carol services in the afternoon or evening, and this could still be possible if you choose the time carefully… but what if there are penalties?! It may be best to avoid that day altogether and host a carol service on Saturday 17 instead.’
And the grotesque Nativity play, called Greatest Of All Time, is one of ‘just a few ideas for how you could use the World Cup as a missional tool this Advent and Christmas’. I am not making this up.”
[Peter Hitchens, in the Mail on Sunday]

The Guardians
I have continued to watch The Guardians, for the first time since it was shown in 1971. Worth seeing. It should be put on again, perhaps on some nostalgia channel such as Talking Pictures TV:
To my mind, the series was better in its first half-dozen episodes; the final two episodes (12 and 13) are a little too talky, a little contrived too, and the ending was not so plausible, but overall the series was quite creditable, if very much of its time.
As with so many attention-seekers, “leaving Twitter” turned out to be a brief respite. As Basil Fawlty once said, “blink, and you’d miss it…as you did“.
Yeah, that really didn't work out will for her did it?
It confirmed that she really isn't a "chef", instead she just mixes ingredients together to form a slop. Matt Tebbut had to guide her on everything.
Yes totally agree someone needs to have strength of character to look into this @BootstrapCook blocked me yesterday and as you can see by my feed I have never done anything than ask questions and found her behaviour suspicious @joelycett she appears to be ripping of the poorest
Tricksters, whether in the field of “poverty porn” or Parliament, are destroying public confidence in what the people see and hear. Corrosive of trust generally.
I follow the topic and it therefore shows in my feed when Twitter pads it out with suggested content. And a lot of people are upset with a lack of transparency regarding funds raised and non delivery of promises and have been for years. It’s an interesting topic
Since I assessed Jack Monroe/Bootstrap Cook on the blog nearly 2 months ago, I have watched the debate about her unfold (it started in late July).
One thing that occurred to me, looking at some Twitter accounts, is that (in my opinion) several of those accounts supporting her fervently are, in fact “Jack Monroe” herself. That is purely my opinion, though based on a number of factors. The impression given is that, while many tweeters are critical of Jack Monroe, others, of various kinds, support her. Somehow, much of it does not ring true, though I concede that that is my opinion, and not something that I can call established fact.
Vimes index doesn’t exist. ONS have confirmed she had nothing to do with that.
Fantastic next instalment in the forensic, evidence laden exposé of TEN YEARS of faux poverty grifting by Jack Monroe. Safe yo say @AwfullyMolly is doing a great job – and the repeated attempts to hack her site suggests to me that she's right on target: https://t.co/tt8GSN5caT
I am puzzled why people should decide that, out of all the “good causes” out there, the one that they want to support —to the tune of anywhere between £3.50 and £44 a month each— is a young woman whose parents are apparently rather affluent, who already has several sources of income, and who is hugely better-off financially than millions of people in this country.
All that Jewish-lobby puppet and Pakistani Muslim apostate Sajid Javid wants is more power for the State, to repress the views of social-nationalism. A horrible little NWO/ZOG drone.

It's amazing that they don't understand this. They really believed their false sense of importance, only propped up by rigged algorithms.
At this point anyone still saying things like "I don't know why rightwing culture warriors don't want to be nice to people" is ether being deliberately dishonest or just not paying attention.

Well, another victory this week over political journalist John Rentoul: I scored 8/10, beating his 6/10. I admit that a couple were lucky guesses, notably the answer to question 6.
I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 9, the latter particularly galling because my blog post about the following by-election has proven very popular with readers. I could picture the errant MP, knew which constituency he represented, and almost got the name, but not quite.
So you believe the actual grifter JM over this account who has collated her tweets to prove she’s a liar? One of my close friends knows JM, JM has never lived in poverty in her life… she started off slightly bending the truth to just complete outright lies
The last tweet is close to my opinion, having observed, but not closely, the “Bootstrap Cook” phenomenon over the past decade. I think —obviously my own opinion— that “Jack Monroe” was at least basically sincere before she realized that there was real money to be made “in them thar hills“. Since then, her claims have become less plausible, and in some cases extraordinary. To what extent her admitted heavy drinking (she now claims to have become a non-drinker) and alleged drug-taking played a part must be a subject for conjecture.
@bookshop_org_UK @TrussellTrust This is misleading – what you mean is you’ve teamed up to sell a book at £8.99 more than it’s priced on Amazon so that “The Public” can donate a copy to foodbanks.
Jack Monroe will retain her royalties and sell twice as many copies. https://t.co/xKiwtf0QoO
There are still many people around who continue to take “Jack Monroe” at face value. As of today, there are still 667 mugs paying money to her for absolutely nothing in return (it is alleged), via the Patreon website. Between £3.50 and £44 a month, every month. Do the maths, as people say.
Its actually quite astonishing that Jack Monroe pled poverty by saying she gave her work away for 7 years when she sells books. The whole narrative is completely Alice in Wonderland stuff. She says something and the absolute opposite is true.

OK, but one has to ask what Germany gets out of this. Not even cultural influence, if the courses are being taught in English, though that is, I concede, arguable.
Also, if the students are black or brown, i.e. from less-developed parts of the world, they may eventually decide to find some way to stay on, such as marrying German women and so further diluting the gene-pool. Ah…maybe that is why the System in Germany is promoting this— it must be part of the working out of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

It seems to me that, probably, the “Jack Monroe”/”Bootstrap Cook” career as a mass media sort-of “celebrity” is at or near its finish, though this country is now so screwed that one can never be sure.
Having said that, the 667 mugs on Patreon show no sign of ceasing to subsidize her lifestyle, so she is still getting between £2,334.50 and £29,348 each and every month from that source alone, in cash, and possibly/probably taxfree.
I find it quite likely that “Bootstrap Cook” will carry on at a lower-profile level, in the pseudo-socialist, affluent semi-“celebrity” niche, along with numerous others, such as Owen Jones, Billy Bragg, and the like.

I have no idea whether any of the “pedo” aspect is true, but I have just noticed that “@DaveAFAF”, a pseudonymous Twitter account which has been pointlessly trolling me for almost a decade (under that name and also under its former name of “@slatfascists”), seems to have suddenly disappeared. If gone for good, good riddance. That tweeter is mentally-unstable, and particularly so when it forgets to take its prescribed medication (as it once admitted on Twitter).
Several of those mentioned in the 2019 blog post above are now suffering more seriously, and from not only mental but also physical ailments; some are even living out their last days. When will they learn?
I have already blogged to the effect that many of the recipes of “Jack Monroe”, as photographed and then published on Twitter, make me feel unwell just looking at them.
Jack Monroe is now in a position where she can't promote thrifty kitchen on her own twitter due to the backlash she would get and she's caused all of this herself.
Fucking hell. This is the worst cooking show ever. Why did Jack Monroe humiliate herself by going on live TV pretending to be a chef? https://t.co/AJJVQbuuxI
I have just watched that clip, which was broadcast about two years ago. Not something I would normally waste time watching. Strange idea of a show about cuisine, though— a presenter chef (?) who is cooking strips of fish coated in crushed cornflakes, another (I presume genuine) chef but who had apparently lost his sense(s) of taste and smell; then, as a final bad joke, “Jack Monroe”/”Bootstrap Cook”, who seems to be unable to contribute anything at all (from the brief clip shown, about 10 mins in all) to the discussion.
I wonder how much that kind of nonsense pays? I mean to the guests. At a guess, maybe £500 or so. Maybe even £1,000. If so, “a nice little earner” to add to the rest.
Having said that, I have seen people online claiming that most guests on Saturday Kitchen and similar shows do not get paid at all but do it for the publicity, which makes sense. After all, if the TV people were offering even £500 for a short appearance, presumably they could get better, more interesting, guests. From the point of view of the guests, too, it makes sense, if some viewers thereby are persuaded that you are a person worth reading online and/or donating money to…
She is apparently talking about the Government. She does not want to “hand over the details of 1000s of vulnerable people, explicit info about their benefit claims...[etc]” to the Government which…has all that information anyway (on DWP and/or HMRC computer —and other— files). In other words, she is once again talking nonsense.
I have come to the conclusion that “Jack Monroe” is not a very nice person…(except that she may or may not be an animal-lover; if she is, then good, as far as that goes).
By the way, though I am not a dentist, I am told by someone who saw the Saturday Kitchen clip that “Jack Monroe” has at least 6 “very expensive” dental implants. Maybe £15,000. Why she has them (assuming that the opinion I heard is accurate), I have no idea. Eating mineral and/or vitamin-deficient food? Or is there, er, another explanation?
I should be blogging about larger issues, but I could not ignore what seems to have been sheer brazen “taking-advantage” of people, including very vulnerable people.
For me, the point is not so much that “Jack Monroe” has constructed what Soviet Intelligence used to call a “legend”, i.e. an embellished or untrue “backstory”, or whether she ever was really “poor”, but the fact that she is taking somewhere between £2,300 a month and as much as, at max, £30,000 a month from people via Patreon, has plainly not supplied the goods and services offered (at least to most donors) and, equally plainly (even after 4 months of public criticism), has no intention whatever of refunding those donors, many of whom seem to have been genuinely poor (unlike “Jack Monroe”, who might have been described, arguably, as “poor” for a few months, maybe a year, years ago).
I might add that I myself have seen, over the past two months, when I have been looking, not even one tweet saying that that tweeter had donated to “Jack Monroe” via Patreon and then received whatever was promised for that level of financial support, and/or was happy with it.
I and 800 other people signed up to Jack Monroe's Patreon, got none of the promised rewards then were blocked and abused on Twitter for asking for refunds. I'l send an email.

“Happy Holidays” was invented by Jewish retailers in New York City, who did not want to have to recognize Christmas. They justified “Happy Holidays” by lumping Christmas in with the Jewish festival of Hanukkah [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah], which is a Jewish-supermacist festival, totally different in ethos to Christmas (read the Wikipedia article above), and then adding to that the ludicrous and contrived “African-American” festival of “Kwanza” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwanzaa] invented in 1966 by a half-caste criminal who now calls himself “Maulana Karenga” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maulana_Karenga].
There it is. An ethnic and political revolt, leading to a military victory. Totally different, in fact arguably the polar opposite, to Christmas, with the latter’s message of peace on Earth.
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.

Worked in NHS for about a year. Now plays on the “doctor” thing to make money as supposed “activist”; was selling facemasks etc online.

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.

Michelle Mone should never have been “ennobled”. Another rotten decision by part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita. Her bra company, Ultima, was far less successful than claimed when she joined the House of Lords; it collapsed not long afterwards. In fact, had she not hooked up with a multi-millionaire personal “partner”, she would have been more or less insolvent, despite the £300-£400 per weekday stipend doled out to “peers” of the Westminster monkeyhouse while the House is in session.
The Lords should be dissolved now. It is full of people put there for entirely specious reasons, such as the black woman put there just because her son was killed in a scuffle with some London yobs at a bus stop.

Oxford Street is a dump full of big chains and small purveyors of tourist crap. And sweets. Sad. Only talking about Tower Records the other day. And Borders. Great shops.
Wasn’t Tower Records in fact at the bottom of Regent Street, on Piccadilly Circus, in the building which, before that, had housed the one-time Swan & Edgar department store, or was that another record store? Memory is uncertain.
[the one-time Swan & Edgar, later Tower Records and, later yet, “Zavvi”, as shown]
I remember, when it was still Swan & Edgar, around 1980, spotting the then-famous actor, Peter Bowles, gazing into the shop windows on the Piccadilly side (I was on the top deck of a bus).
In its day, it was a fairly fashionable department store.

True, but sometimes (admittedly, rarely) such pop-up shops have something worthwhile. There was a small one, for a few months, in New Oxford Street, sometime in the early 1980s. It was selling vinyl records. I wandered in out of curiosity on my way to Museum Street and the British Library (at the time, in the Reading Room of the British Museum).
To my surprise, one record on sale was the audio of highlights from Triumph of the Will [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Will]. I bought several copies, one for me and a few for friends.

The latest development in the cancellation of Jack Monroe is her publisher is giving away her books to foodbanks to avoid pulping them. Looks like they can't even dump them on The Works for 50p. pic.twitter.com/eGir006f01
Not surprised they're having to give away 50% of stock, given the furore around Jack Monroe's scamming being exposed 😂 Still, I guess less reputational harm to the publisher than the clearance bin at The Works or £3 book shelf in Poundland….
The reputation of “Jack Monroe” has fallen so far that the publishers can hardly give away her latest book (which is not even published, officially, until January 2023).

I have posted the crowdfunder below previously. I do not know the people personally, but it looks like they really need help, and were in addition fleeced by so-called “Bootstrap Cook”, “Jack Monroe”, who refuses, they say, to refund their monies.
“UK net migration hit 504,000 in the year to June – the highest figure ever recorded, The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates.
The rise is driven by people arriving legally from outside the EU and the resumption of post-pandemic travel.
Reception of Afghan and Ukrainian refugees and people from Hong Kong are other factors.“
[BBC]
…yet none dare call it treason.
If anyone mentions the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, he is a “conspiracy theorist“, and if anyone even talks about targeting those responsible, he is a “terrorist” or “far-right extremist”…
What is worse yet about the “net migration” figures is that they say “2 migrants in, 1 person out, equals net migration of 1“, whereas those coming in are almost all non-whites, whereas the smaller group leaving are mainly real British people emigrating (getting out, or fleeing); or about half and half. Thus Britain is becoming non-white even faster than the headline number suggests.
Fake “charity”, “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, aka “CAA”, again investigated by the Charity Commission
The organisation's aims, including "promot[ing] racial harmony … between Jewish people … and other members of society by the elimination of antisemitism", are being investigated by the commission after submissions showing a pattern of attacks on leftwing individuals & groups.
Unfortunately, I am not now on Twitter (the Jew-Zionists conspired for years to have me expelled, and finally succeeded in 2018), so I cannot tweet my above blog posts above direct to the Charity Commission.
One of the supposedly “grossly offensive” tweets posted by me before 2014 (when the Jew-Zionists made a malicious complaint against me to the Bar regulator) was to the effect that Gove was a puppet of the Jews and Israel, and an expenses cheat, indeed actual fraudster. That indeed was upheld as “grossly offensive” by the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal, despite the fact that those facts were demonstrably true and accurate.
In 2016, when my (in fact unlawful— see the blog post above) “trial” was held, it had not yet come to public attention that Gove, that sick little bastard, was (and is) also a drunk, and a cocaine abuser. Yet there the little bastard sits, a Cabinet minister! This system is rotten to the core.
In fact, Gove was previously a cravenly pro-Jew “journalist”, prior to getting selected, then notionally “elected”, as MP. These are the human or humanoid blots that are running our country, our society, into the ground.
Incidentally, you will see from the blog post dealing with my disbarment that an inaccurate statement was made, after the denouement, by the BSB.
It was said by the BSB, untruthfully, that my Twitter profile “made it clear” that I was a barrister. My Twitter profile in fact said nothing about that.
Sara Jagger was the then Head of Professional Standards at the Bar Standards Board (she is apparently now “Director” of the same).
I never had any direct contact with her then or since, as far as I can recall (I think only with other BSB employees). Just saw a picture of her for the first time. A black woman.
Where did that name come from? Still, we have had Trevor McDonald, the newsreader, I suppose…
I wonder whether, somewhere, there is even an “Ian Millard” who is Afro-Caribbean. Probably not.
I know most of the names of the guilty. “Old sins cast long shadows“…
As said previously, the malice shown by the CAA is really that of its very few active members. The “CAA” has only a tiny handful of active members or supporters, and its whole support base is very small, a couple of hundred Jews, if even that many, out of 250,000-300,000 in the UK. Maybe one out of every two or three thousand Jews.
In fact, there are a half dozen or maybe dozen really active Jews in the “CAA”, yet this tiny and nasty cabal is treated by the TV, radio and Press (where many Jews work, or lurk), as if somehow “authoritative” and/or “representative”. It is not; not at all.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (@antisemitism) were the principal drivers of the EHRC investigation.
Not too hard to understand why. Look at the heads of political reportage, and other journalists, at the main news outlets, among them Sky and LBC.
Update on the left-wing Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL) complaint to the Charity Commission about the ultra-Zionist and hard-right Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA)
“I want to thank LFI for its tireless work through challenging political times in the UK and in Isreal — at the forefront of the campaign against antisemitism” — Shadow Chancellor @RachelReevesMP at LFI’s Annual Lunch
This is the problem: get rid of the “Conservative” Party, and its craven pro-Jew/Israel attitude, but what then? Labour takes over, packed with Jewish-lobby drones like Rachel Reeves.
I think that Reeves is herself at least part-Jew, but have been unable to obtain proof, so far.
The Labour front-bench is entirely composed of members of Labour Friends of Israel. As for Starmer himself, a very fervent pro-Israel drone, I have still not been able to discover whether, when he eats Jewish ritual dinners with his Jewish wife and part-Jew children, he wears one of those little skullcaps or “yarmulki“.
A photograph of the above would be worth rubies.
Late tweets
This is not brilliant. You're enabling Jack Monroe's grift + adding to her personal profit. This woman is not a talented cook or food writer. Her recipes lack nutrition, are untested + include crazy/vile concoctions. Who in their right mind would advocate such an obvious chancer
She doesn't even supply bank accounts, just wallets which may be created and emptied for the purpose. A complete sham. Like when they pretended to only have about twenty sovs to her name, despite having £500k in the bank and earning about £200k.
Which may or may not be so. The situation does need to be investigated though, by competent official agencies though, not merely by commentators on Twitter.
If that doesn't at least lead you to question the mainstream narrative of the past three years, I honestly don't know if you'll ever recover your capacity for rational thought.
Nope. Total garbage. It was all possible. No PPE was needed in any settings. If you wanted people to feel psychologically comfortable with these situations, all you had to do was NOT scare the shit out of them with made up nonsense. https://t.co/Rj5hZLx3Oy
I was going to publish a separate piece about the upcoming by-election, but have decided that that would not be merited.
Chester, as a settlement, has a history going back to 79 AD, when it was established as a Roman fortress: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester.
The City of Chester constituency also has a very old history, going back to the times of Henry VIII. In modern times, meaning 19th/20th centuries, it has mostly been a Conservative/Unionist seat, though electing Labour Party candidates in 1997, 2001, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019. Two Labour MPs in that time, with a Conservative in the years 2010-2015: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Chester_(UK_Parliament_constituency).
The by-election will be held on 1 December 2022, 8 days from today, and is the first by-election in the constituency since 1956.
The MP from 2015 to 2022 had to resign by reason of sexual scandal.
The candidates declared are: Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat; also, Reform UK, Green, Freedom Alliance, UKIP, Rejoin EU, and the inevitable Monster Raving Loony.
This is likely to be a straight fight between Lab and Con, looking at previous elections. The LibDems have in the past scored as high as 21.9% (in 2005); since 2010 they have always received less than 10% of the vote (6.8% in 2019), and have never managed better than 3rd place (even in 2005).
Labour, nationwide, is clearly on a roll at present, if only by default. The latest YouGov poll (on 17 November 2022) of (UK-wide) voting intention put Labour on 48%, Conservative 25%, LibDem 10%, and both Green and Reform UK on 5%.
Despite the scandal attaching to the former MP, I cannot see that affecting the result. As a matter of fact, both Con and Lab are putting up female candidates, though that may be co-incidental.
There seems little to prevent Labour winning this by-election, and winning it easily. Not only is the present Con government extremely unpopular, but Labour has, after all, won in this constituency the past three times, and held it for 20 out of the past 25 years.
I cannot see the LibDems getting far here, even as some kind of unfocussed protest vote. As for Reform UK, the only other contender of interest, they may or may not save their deposit. I could see them, just about, getting 5%; I cannot see them getting 10% or more, especially now that Brexit is not so popular, having been badly mishandled over the past 6 years.
The main interest in the contest will be in the percentage(s) of the vote received by the two main contenders.

Jack Monroe got dafter in her preposterous stories over years because it earns her a good living, Working class people in generational poverty are usually determined battlers they would never let their kids performatively starve and they don't feed them 'pig swill' concoctions.

Perhaps ask Jack Monroe why she refuses to return money to @frugally_minded even given the desperate situation this lady now finds herself in. You need to urgently review the decision to promote her. Her Company struck off for financial irregularities, and you are supporting her?
The above tweet was about the “@GuardianLive” tweet featuring “Jack Monroe” as booked to appear on a podcast event in early 2023, which tweet has now been deleted. Now we hear that that podcast itself has been axed.
Seems that “Jack Monroe” is, as predicted, becoming “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“…
Even so, the 667 “mugs” on Patreon are, as of today, still giving her their monthly donations for doing absolutely nothing except maintaining her lifestyle, e.g. buying herself luxury goods. Somewhere between c.£2,300 a month and (at maximum) £40,000 a month. In reality, probably about £6,000, at an educated guess. In cash (minus Patreon fees), and every single month. All that and she still poses as a “champion of the poor“! Hard to believe that so many people are so very gullible; yet they have been told now for three or four months that they are just wasting their money.
As said previously on the blog, I myself have no objection to Scotland declaring faux-“independence”, but those voting for it must accept lower living standards, and an end to UK subsidy.
As the tweeter says, just look at them! Can they really bring Scotland a new dawn? I think not.
As for Nicola Sturgeon, she is a ghastly little would-be dictator with no interesting ideas (that I have seen).
The flotsam and jetsam of the world is assisted to come here, destroying our society, and is kept in comfort (most of them), while British people suffer. Not only mad, but also evil. [Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan].
Whatever the relevance of that, can anyone look at those uninspiring people and imagine that they will be able to usher in a new age of prosperity and enlightenment in Scotland?
In any case, it seems that Scotland is still split about 50-50 on “Independence”, with possibly more wanting to retain the Union.
However, even if there were a small majority for “Independence”, would that be valid, really? To drag the other, say 45%, into an unwanted break with England and the other regions or countries? After over 300 years?
I don't know why Jack Monroe doesn't just process the promised refund and make this problem go away. It's looking like she's now deliberately keeping it, you know, THEFT. https://t.co/0pPmUW4fiM
Of course, the absurd playground taunts of the two sides in the present conflict (“you are the ‘Nazi'”; “no, you are the ‘Nazi’“) are just silly.
Actually, the German Army in WW2, despite the pitiless nature of that war in the East, behaved well, mostly, in Ukraine, certainly better than the Red Army. Most atrocities were committed either by the Red Army (or by the forces travelling alongside them— the NKVD and, latterly, Smersh), or by Ukrainian auxiliaries under overall German command, or by Ukrainian civilians who just wanted to eliminate Jews, and who acted without either order or permission.
I have blogged in the past a few times about how I met, in or about 1995, the then Ukrainian Ambassador to London, H.E. Ambassador Komissarenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko], a biochemist by training, who went with me and his Scientific Attache in the ambassadorial limousine to Porton Down, Wiltshire [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porton_Down], to meet a scientific team based there. He later headed a major such laboratory in Ukraine, I think not far from Kiev.
@UniKent@ItsFreyaVass Hi University of Kent, are you ok with your staff conducting themselves this way on social media? Pretty off-putting to potential students I would have thought. pic.twitter.com/PkQimqHMvJ
🇳🇱 KLM is starting its first try-out with Digital passports & ‘biometric boarding’ (facial recognition) in February under the pretext that it will help shorten the queues at Schiphol.
Just like we thought, the chaos was created on purpose to introduce the ‘solution’: digital ID.
The “Covid” hysteria, “lockdowns”, “working from home” in the barely functioning NHS, maladministration, and then the huge and unwanted influx of non-white migrant-invaders and other immigrants over the past many years.
I feel like I’m totally hooked on this because I genuinely can’t believe it (I do but you know what I mean) and just feel so shocked to the core. I really liked her and thought she did a lot of good. @AwfullyMolly has set it all out very clearly! 🙁
The “Jack Monroe”/”Bootstrap Cook” storm shows no sign of abating, with more and more stories coming out about vulnerable and actually poor people (i.e. unlike “Jack Monroe”) being, in effect, fleeced.
How is it a vindictive vendetta? Molly has never tweeted her own opinion on her blog. She has shown Jack’s constant lies and narrative changing, as well as the scams. People need to see this, it’s public interest.
I'm guessing people like Dermot Macintyre, Louis Theroux, hell even Stacy Dooley must be awful figures of spite too, for daring to do long tail investigations into bad things then broadcast them? 🤣🤣🤣
Once again, yet another media appearance for a so-called "poverty campaigner" where the entire article is talking about Jack Monroe.https://t.co/CxAHcfQo7l
Same thing happened with the threat(s) by “Jack Monroe”/”Bootstrap Cook” to sue (in defamation) MP Lee Anderson and political commentator Martin Daubney. It appears that (so far— she has about 5 months or so left in which to launch an action, in principle), not only has no legal process been launched, but there has been no pre-action correspondence as mandated by the Pre-Action Protocols of the Civil Procedure Rules. Chances are that “Bootstrap Cook” never will sue those two, or anyone else.
The Katie Hopkins case was different. Ms. Hopkins had no arguable defence and was a sitting duck. “Jack Monroe” got £24,000 damages, while the claimant’s lawyers got, in effect, Ms. Hopkin’s house, that had to be sold in order to satisfy the costs order made. About £300,000.
If you're a friend of hers maybe you could send her some shower gel to stop her boiling soap?
Ha ha. Of all the products from the “Jack Monroe” fantasy factory, the “I was so poor that I had to boil down soap to make shower gel” (and/or “shampoo“) claim must be among the top few in the utterly-ludicrous stakes. It actually makes me wonder whether she makes up ever-more-fantastical stories just to see where the gullibility of her supporters stops; meaning at what point do they wake up to such lies, and/or stop donating to her (lifestyle)?
I suppose that it is just possible that she actually did boil down soap to make shower gel, mad and implausible though that would be; in my opinion, she never did.
I myself like Waitrose Sea Moss shower gel. It costs 90p for a bottle that lasts maybe 3 weeks (with me, at least; used once daily). No-one is going to tell me that buying soap, boiling it somehow, despite energy cost, and then somehow making shower gel out of it (is that even possible?) is cheaper than spending about 30p a week on proper shower gel. Also, Sea Moss from Waitrose is not even the cheapest; no doubt Aldi, Lidl, Tesco have even cheaper alternatives.
Or one could just shower with soap, as did previous generations.
Same goes, mutatis mutandis, for shampoo, except that soap would not be so good in that role.
What I find incredible is how long she has been able to keep this going. It says a lot about how poor the UK msm is that no journalist has thought to investigate her claims or to find out which (if any) are actually true. And where are the “consumer watchdog” journalists and TV talking heads? Hundreds if not thousands of people appear to have been duped or bamboozled into sending money— tens, and maybe hundreds, of thousands of pounds.
Meanwhile, millions of people are in real poverty and get nothing, or very little.
Advice from what seems to me to be a rotten cook (not that I can cook much either, admittedly) about how to make curry by opening a tin of sardines and a can of peaches, mixing the two together with curry powder and heating the mixture in a microwave, is not very helpful, in my opinion. Frankly, it sounds terrible. I would rather open the sardines, put them on a piece of toast, then eat the peaches separately later. In fact, I should prefer a plain baked potato to that mixture.
Hey @guardianlive@guardian, you may want to get a researcher onto Jack Monroe (Tattle, @AwfullyMolly) before Jan. Her recipes and ‘advice’ are much like everything else she says – lies.
Ha. In fact the “award” mentioned was an “Observer Food” award a few months ago, voted for by Observer readers, few of whom are “poor” or “struggling”. In fact, the voters are exactly the same sort of people (and quite likely the very same people) who support “Jack Monroe” vocally on Twitter. The Guardian is of course the sister paper to the Observer.
Britain must become a white northern European ethnostate (again).
It is not, fundamentally, a question of “hate” but based on the concept that only the European peoples can provide the basis for the next advance in human evolution.
Its scary. We have two hotels with them staying . They walk round in gangs or sit out side making it really uncomfortable to even walk past them. Its intimidating and dangerous and we should be being protected from these unwanted men.
At Manston there are a large number of people living in a nice new estate, terrified of going out of their homes. Swarms of migrants roam around , looking into windows and following residence down the road. They live in fear in their own country.
Will you be discussing the 700+ patreon members who haven't received anything in 2 years, but Jack Monroe has taken £3.50 – £44 pcm from each member without refunds? Missing charity money? All of the lies about her backstory? Donations to legal funds that were not refunded ?
667 “mugs” and/or dupes, as of today; thousands of pounds month after month, in cash (minus Patreon fees).
I think you need to have a look at @AwfullyMolly investigation into Jack Monroe, and maybe ask Jack about missing charity money, false claims of poverty, 2 years of unfulfilled patreon pledges and the thousands of pounds taken without refunds, and her general Walter Mitty life.
My housing association issued a safety warning to manage energy prices, which had to include explanation of what happens if you just stop paying your bills as per @bootstrapcook's advice. We have to stop validating these narcisssists. Thats a housing association having to respond
“Jack Monroe” is not a lawyer, and not a consumer law expert or anything similar. Her only known job (as far as I know anyway) was answering the telephone at a fire station or call centre, and that ended about 11 years ago. Her “Bootstrap Cook” thing is far more lucrative, it seems.
People in financial trouble need accurate advice, from trusted sources.
As of today, 667 “patrons” (mugs and/or those who are unaware of the storm now enveloping the “Bootstrap Cook”); I believe that there were over 800 earlier in the year.
As blogged earlier, only in a country where real journalism is all but dead would someone be able to do all that without facing serious questions after a while.
Still, look at “Boris”-idiot, who was able to fool much of the UK that he was a highly-intelligent, cultured, and serious, statesman, when none of those three are true (four things, if you include “statesman“). All it took was the fact that he had attended Eton and Oxford, and the expression of a few rote-learned Greek and Latin phrases. He also was “enabled” by a corrupt and stupid msm.
It will look like a deliberate plea to retain subscribers thus ensuring Patreon receipts end of October and November. We are 3 weeks post the promise to sort it out.
All the Patreon subs I am in contact with have not received anything as yet.
In terms of remedy, it's not clear how Monroe could ever be held to account. Class action is not really an option. I spoke to my lawyer – woohoo yes I have a lawyer cos I'm a big cheese 😜 and although this is clearly terrible, it's not a big enough issue to warrant class action.
In the alternative, it could be taken up by @actionfrauduk
Their websites says: "There are many words used to describe fraud: Scam, con, swindle, extortion, sham, double-cross, hoax, cheat, ploy, ruse, hoodwink, confidence trick" (Insert "Jack Monroe")
I am writing to Action Fraud for advice on "next steps" and to establish what information they need to take the matter seriously and conduct an investigation. Let's see.
(2nd) the cocky shout outs by Jack Monroe on twitter where she continues to threaten legal action in a "just you wait pal" manner. This conduct will be frowned upon if she ever gets in front of a Judge.
Incidentally, I thought that the monthly maximum that “Jack Monroe” was extracting from each of her “patrons” (mugs) on Patreon had been reduced to £10, but it turns out that £44 is still the max. Her monthly take-home pay from that source alone, for doing absolutely nothing, is therefore between £2,334.50 and £29,348, minus the Patreon fees, if any. In cash. Every month.
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?“
If only the blacks, browns, Chinese, and especially the Jews in our country would understand this.
Taking the knee, for something that happened 2 years ago, in another country. This is how ridiculous we are led by a hostile media. https://t.co/x8cxnpjyt6
The fact that they immediately caved because (God forbid) Harry Kane might get a yellow card, underscores yet again how all the sanctimonious virtue signaling is empty nonsense.
How about just abandon it entirely and concentrate on the actual football instead? pic.twitter.com/tEKgjxQvNl
There should be a cultural purge in the UK, starting (arguably) with the absurdly overpaid, smug, mass media football pleb-fest talking heads. Lineker etc.
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.
— Stella Maris, Trans Trans Woman Extraordinaire 👠 (@N0v3mberSmith) November 21, 2022
The whole “Jack Monroe” supporters’ clan/defensiveness thing on Twitter reminds me of those who even now insist on wearing a useless facemask.
I absolutely agree. This generation though seem to have taken a leaf out of her book on Oppression Olympics.
— Stella Maris, Trans Trans Woman Extraordinaire 👠 (@N0v3mberSmith) November 21, 2022
I live in 🇨🇦 and I have been following your blog because Jack’s behaviour reads like a classic narcissist. You have clearly shown her lies, backpedaling and when she gets caught, she says her mental health has been affected. You are not a troll, don’t let the 🛩🐒 get to you.
Molly, the suicide post was purposely evasive yet pointed as to incite reaction from her diehard fans. It was a cheap disgusting manipulation. A transparent attempt to silence and intimidate valid factual criticism.
“Amelia” is very typical of many in the UK today: wants to tick the “right” boxes, and believes any old crap if the “right” (pseudo-socialist) noises are made. She favours Owen Jones! (‘Nuff said…). See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.
Let me make it easier for you (even though you’ve buggered orf) my real name is Pablo Garcia but I go as Paul. Spanish dad, English mum.
DM for any other detail you need for your lawyer.
I’m quite well off so should be good for you. Maybe better than Hopkins 😘
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”.
Thank u4 yr posts. I am autistic, & am horrified at much of jack monroe’s behaviour & her “I’m autistic so I can’t lie” claims. Shes clearly exploiting the poor &needs to be held2 account4 her https://t.co/DoGSi7AJ1V’ve done a great job of showing the evidence of her narcissism
Saw an extract, about a minute long, of a TV comedy/drama called The Larkins, a remake or re-adaptation of the well-known 1980s series The Darling Buds of May. Except that the husband or boyfriend of one of the characters is now black! The series was set, originally at least, I believe, in the late 1940s!
Typical ludicrous rubbish.
We hear much about “cultural appropriation“, but our own culture and indeed history is being taken over, basically stolen from us. Behind all of this nonsense, really, is the (((you-know-who)))…
Accepted Patreon contributions from hundreds of people for the better part of 2 years without providing any of the advertised benefits. Crowdfunded for charity but spent months refusing to confirm amounts raised or charities helped. Crowdfunded for a lawsuit that never happened
Sold articles about her child wearing too small clothes and being raised in an unheated home and asking for more food when she has a supportive and relatively wealthy family who could and would have provided the basic help needed so the child didn't have to live like that.
Sold several books of recipes of dubious quality to reinforce the claim that people can feed themselves and their families with minimal funds if only they follow her example, despite the recipes being severely nutritionally deficient and in some cases flat-out unworkable.
Gave false information to the public about the availability of fuel vouchers from food banks, claiming to have set up the process herself, resulting in food banks having to deal with increased contact from confused and desperate people asking for a service they don't provide.
Basically she's a grifter who has gained a significant amount of money and public profile off the back of not actually delivering much of what she's ever promised, and that's been compounded by her refusal to engage honestly with criticism or fair requests for information.
Why don't you refund people who are asking Jack ? Genuine question…why are you actively avoiding giving people what they are repeatedly asking you for ? Why do you think you are entitled to other people's money ?
Maybe she's taking a well earned break from here to devote time instead refunding her patreons who have received diddly squat for 2 years…or pigs might fly
For anyone who needs to read them. @FundrRegulator Code of Practice for fundraising. Rules on transparency, use of funds, documentation of data, complaints procedures & engaging politely with the public: https://t.co/f3s2UtG7qL Jack Monroe fails on so many of these.
The maycliffe Hotel in torquay is now housing migrants. The live in caretakers with 3 young children have been put out in the street. This has to stop.
I was in tescos yesterday and one of the Somalian immigrants was in front of me buying a pack of sandwiches ,the cashier told him that would be £3 and he opened his wallet and I have never seen so many £50 notes.
Well, journalism is not a “profession”, as such, just an “occupation”, but I agree otherwise.
Jack Monroe deleting her Twitter account again. Getting too hot in here is it? Bring on all the sympathy posts that are too blind or dumb to acknowledge her grift.
Thank you very much for the support, it is really appreciated. I was having a very bad night last night and shouldn’t have commented on JM’s post but I was so frustrated I couldn’t help it. Then she shared the pm and I got angry x
I fully agree. You were 100% right to reply, to be angry, and to share the full DM rather than the part Jack Monroe did to try and paint you in a bad light. You have all sane people's support I'm sure x
When Jack Monroe inherits her share of the Hadjicostas property empire, will she still pretend to be poor? Will she let the properties of for free because she honestly, definitely, 100% cares about poor people and certainly doesn't just want to monetise their poverty?
He has a point. Major utilities (water, electricity, gas etc) and railways should, in general, be under public control. Oil companies might be more difficult, but had Britain, from the 1970s onward, done what Norway did, and used North Sea oil and gas for national purposes, we would all be better off now.
I have said here before, it’s a very small step from the smart suits, the expense account & the Company BMW to a cardboard box under an arch at the back of Kings Cross. I’ve seen that happen .
If Jack Monroe was stupid enough to initiate action, I'm sure plenty of us would happily crowdfund defence, force revelation of all her financial affairs & more, and in doing so finish off what tatters of a reputation she has left.
As far as I myself am concerned, I blog as accurately as I can about people, if individuals are mentioned. My material is true in the sense of accurate, and/or is covered by one or another of the several defences to libel known to law; besides which, I am extremely impecunious these days, have only the smallest income, do not own a house (even mortgaged) and so am, in effect, as good as unsueable.
I can guarantee that anyone launching an action against me will lose out: probably the action would fail anyway, and even if it did not, the claimant would end up with massive and completely irrecoverable costs.
I write whatever I like, but take care to be both accurate and fair.
On Twitter, every Tom, Dick, and Harry is an “expert” on the law, and especially defamation law; few really are.
Lots of people have reported to Action Fraud, Essex Trading Standards, Fundraising Regulator & more. I believe from feedback from one of the key proponents in breaking this story that investigation is underway.
At the last time I looked a while ago she had around 700 Patreons. Even on the lowest tier that’s brining in 2k a month. She hasn’t sent any of the rewards out for years. But still collecting the 2k. If people cancel their membership they lose the right to complain.
The brainwashing taking place in UK schools (mainly but not entirely in State-run schools) is indeed appalling. It has been going on for several decades, but has been intensifying. At the same time, standards of real education and knowledge have been falling.
While some people compare the situation in the UK to the Weimar Republic, that unpleasant and decadent time in German history lasted for only 14 years (1919 to 1933), whereas the UK version has been happening for a far longer period, at least 30 years, and arguably over 50 years.
Not that I like Churchill’s effect on British history (in particular, the crazy war against the German Reich, which destroyed the British Empire and all other European empires, and created the mess the world is in today), but he is undeniably a major historical figure, and I should not like to see the statue in question removed.
It’s ok to dislike people and even groups of people.
Why is that the only genocide that matters? I wasn’t taught much world history in public school, I’ve learned about a lot of the horrors since and still have so much more to learn. I don’t understand why so many other genocides are hardly spoken about.

Jews always talk about “members of their family“, or even “relatives” supposedly being killed during WW2. Even leaving aside the main assertion, since when are people who (supposedly) died about 80 years ago called “relatives” of quite young people now living?
As for the young or other people now living being (pretending to be) hugely upset by the (presumed) deaths of people whom they never knew anyway, it really is so much bs. Non-Jews, especially white European people, don’t usually (in fact hardly ever) do that.
I must investigate having my old Twitter account returned (complete with new blue tick), both to promote my blog and to mightily p*** off (((the usual suspects))), who put in years of effort making faked complaints to get me expelled in 2018.
