Jack Monroe

Got a good lawyer Maudi?

Oh well I take it all back if that is the case and the money from the cookbooks is going to charity. Any evidence this is true?

MissA- like you, I'm looking forward to the TV series " Eating plan for the idle poor" ' catchy title, don't you think?

She is sueing

She is, and I hope she sues the arse off those lying about her.
It's just a shame the lies are spread on here all too often.

I think she is very mean to threaten Lee Anderson. She started the row by calling him names and he answered back.It was terrible what she did to Katy Hopkins. She is very touchy perhaps due to her claim to be autistic and disabled.

Oh dear, poor, poor Katie. Should we start a fund?

Well now I've got my breath back.

Oh I can't wait, babe.
If me eyebrows didn't need microblading I'd apply to go on, myself.
I'll just have to watch it on my 96 inch tv while I eat a takeaway.

I didn’t know she came from Essex?

How anybody can have sympathy for Katie Hopkins is beyond me. Remember her snobbish rant about children named after places eg Brooklyn etc ? The Philip schofield asked her what her daughter is called ? India?

Don’t forget your unnecessary mobile phone….

( that’s the one without which you can’t apply for jobs or fill in forms……)

I was just talking to my mate Bognor-Regis about that the other day...
We call her Bog for short.

I agree with Lee Anderson Jack Monroe is making money off the backs of the poor flogging her cook books at £11+ a time you can't hide the facts and she's made herself rich, good for her.

Oh, please - get your facts right! For every cookbook she's sold, she's given away hundreds to food banks right across the country. Many of her recipes are available for free on her website. She's already taken issue with similar commenters on Twitter who've made unfounded claims about her supposed wealth, so I'd be very careful what you say. I've absolutely no idea why some people seem so determined to knock her, when at least she is putting her words into action and actually doing something to help those most vulnerable in our society.

Good for her if she is giving the proceeds of her cookery books to charity. They are on Amazon for about £11 a book which even I think is rather expensive, but if the money is going to charity OK I suppose.

She doesn't actually like to be referred to as a woman. She's trans.

I think she identifies as non-binary

So should that be “it” identifies as non binary?”

Shows how old I’m getting!

They identify, I think. All one of them.

Eh!!

Jack Monroe has long been a hero of mine. Can't believe there are people on here ready to diss her/them. Some people's heads must be differently attached, where are they coming from? People would rather go along with the likes of MP Lee whatsisname and Katie Hopkins. Un-bee-lievable!

Rock on, JM!

'Publisher Bluebird has also distributed 50,000 recipe cards featuring the book’s dishes and will aim to put donation points for the charity at every event on Monroe’s tour schedule and at its own reception.'

Her blog has also given foodbanks permission to photocopy her recipes for their recipients.

And that post, readers, is why this country is in such a mess. Liars are one thing, but the fools defending them are quite another.

MissAdventure

She should sue the arse off the posters on GN who repeat unfounded malicious statements just because it suits their politics. Some of you should be seriously ashamed of yourselves; an opinion is fine, libel is not. Why are you so frightened of Ms Monroe? Is it because she tells the unpalatable truth?

Remember that if a paperbook sells for £11.00 the author only receives 7.5% in royalties. That would be 82p before tax, 74p after tax.

Her recipes are free on her blog site:

Jack identifies as non-binary as either she or they. I have used she in my posts rather than they to differentiate between Monroe and Anderson or Monroe and (Anderson and Daubney).
