I NEED garage squig's receipts
 
Well, what an interesting evening that was? The ECC statement is carefully worded - and allows them to say more if their hand is forced - which of course, it will be. Inevitable that the nationals will now start (or have started) sniffing around. Kirsty will be sitting back and allowing Simon to take everything, but of course, they both have it coming their way. And the academic evaluation - well I knew they would bring that up. Other posters are bang on correct - it doesn't provide the validation that ECC would have hoped for - but there's even more to it than that. I will collect my thoughts and come back to you all on that one.

Not turning up is bad, very bad for Simon.

I mean it’s wild he agreed to the interview in the first place - he obviously thought he could talk his way around the issues raised. But to be a no-show… yikes. The knives will only sharpen now.

Finally an interview about something that was his business, rather than something he inserted himself into, and the crude fat knacker backs out. What a bleep.
 
From my experience working in marketing/advertising/PR, £500k in the private sector will often give global companies a team of around 5-6 from an agency, who perform 'full-function' activities of social media, press office, thought leadership and event management for a year.

For the same amount to be spent in the public sector on ONE GUY to run some FB groups alone is gob-smacking.

agree. i'd be interested to know how this compares to like Public Health England or UK Health Security Agency. I wonder how much they paid during the same period for marketing. the difference being they were creating actual public health advice.

🔺🔺🔺 It’s a colossal amount for even full service marketing for one year, let alone just social media community management for public sector. Most agencies also take a cut when working with public sector because they want their logos on their pitch slides for validity.

Sorry if you both already know this (but just in case, to keep our facts straight!) - it wasn't 500k p.a., these are the amounts that went out each financial year


FY
19-2020-2121-2222-2323-24Grand Total
SUM of Value£1,650.00£148,000.00£192,700.00£87,300.00£65,000.00£494,650.00

It's still a colossal amount for one person, particularly during the pandemic, and you'd definitely get a team of three or maybe even four out of it

Thank you for clarifying! Completely agree, it’s still a shocking spend. The first pandemic year I’m not saying it was ok but you can see how it happened. All kind of contracts were being expedited. But for 22/23 and 23/24 it’s baffling. Well it should be if there were rigorous procurement procedures in place. Even trying to get on a tender is hard enough where I am 😂

Sorry if I am being thick.

How can you earn that during COVID but be eligible also for a loan as COVID has effected you? If anything tye effect for him was amazing.
The pandemic was his jackpot

They were "bounce back" loans so supposed to be to support you coming out of covid. What you could borrow was based on your earnings in previous years. So the bigger your business pre-covid the more you could borrow.
 
Honestly for £145k a year I’d personally knock on everyone’s door in Essex and say the “messaging” to their face

So I’m hoping we can look at the Equalities Impact assessment the Council carried out for this piece of work?
The immediate risks I see are the exclusion of anyone not on Facebook (broadly those under 30, those over 80) the assistive technology gaps (learning disability, blind) those who don’t read English (what is the diversity of first languages in Essex?) let alone he’s a Tory hating misogynistic fool.
 
How could he be so stupid as to agree to a radio appearance yesterday and then no show it this morning? He must realise how bad the optics are there. I reckon his instinct for attention seeking and exposure kicked in (as he's been nearly a week off social media now) and that's why he said yes. It was only later that he had serious second thoughts or someone talked him out of it.
