Jack Monroe and the missing money.

[Ostryga]

Anyone been following this madness? A thread popped up on my feed today about how JM asked for people to PayPal her cash donations last year to take 3 people to court for slander and libel. It’s now passed the date of when she was able to bring this to court and no sign of any money being returned.

Just seems completely bizarre to me, and now I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole and seems this is in no way the first time.

Are people never going to run out of excuses for her then?

Nope, which is why she never stops, or runs out of money.
Stop being kind ffs, be honest.

She's on question time tonight, another chance for her to embellish her back story even further. Being presented as an "activist". What has she ever done before that wasn't a paid gig??

She works 22 HOURS a DAY, for LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE, and she has a CHILD and a HUGE DOG and a SH!TTY BUNGALOW, and THE COTSWOLD SIDEBOARD COMPANY🔺 and a TEAM OF STAFF🔻 to support, and her shoulder is OUCHY.

🔺Other sideboard companies are available

🔻Somebody has to rinse those beans while she is forensically, assiduously, militarily DEVISING RECIPES and INDEXING PRICES and PROTECTING THE POOR and being an ACTIVIST, @Eranou !

Do you want her to STOP BREATHING?

What is her connection with Cotswold Sideboards?

on a serious note, I hope these two (I’m apparently not allowed to use names 🤷‍♀️) are not going to ruin school life for the rest of the families. Her crashing private nights out is one thing, but a toxic air in the school environment is another. I report back from sports day… naming no names. Forever more, her, him, child.

She’s got quite a few Sideboards, quite a few 😆.

She admited in the guardian to spending money people had donated to her on numerous sideboards.

And they don't buy themselves . . .

That is very cryptic @Marstonroadmrs !

I thought it might be a possible mis-post @IClaudine

I think you might be right.

Why on earth is she on QT? Haven't the researchers done any due diligence? Have they not read hunger hurts 2 or the Hattenstone interview? It is actually quite offensive to have her on as the face of poverty/poverty campaigning.

Anyone going to watch QT tonight?

No. I refuse to watch anything on the BBC.

Why are the BBC giving a proven charlatan like JM airtime?

I was watching QT, thought who the hell is this JM woman and why on QT? Turned off googled and ended up here

Maybe it's to balance out all the airtime they gave Farage. Who knows.

I was gobsmacked when I saw a thread saying she was going to be on. Though, as above, and with reality carcrash TV, they like to stick one controversial comedy piece in there every so often to boost ratings.

I watched QT and thought JM acted like a rabbit in the headlights, almost visibly shaking...perhaps she feared being called out for grifting?

The Twitter response to her appearance on question time is largely positive. She'll get more work from it. It's very odd that some people don't mind her not answering the questions about missing money.

It was weird listening to her go on about Tory integrity. On the one hand, she was right and actually spoke quite well, if nervously. On the other hand, I'm not sure she's best placed to comment on other people's morality.

I can't believe she had the gall to talk about honesty when she has lied and lied and lied.

That's why she has the gall.

I don't know, I've seen a lot of negativity on there too. People posting about how she treated the kitten and her Grenfell blog etc.

Something or someone is protecting her. I haven't seen any of the Mainstream media pick up on any of it, not even the Tory papers.

Yes. And people who seriously question her, like Awfully Molly and Red Sister go very quiet. She's got some powerful allies somewhere, which is unusual for somebody on the left.
