It does appear he was getting bounce back loans and covid payments while earning a fortune from his mate kirsty. That can't be right Mr inland revenue.

This is a point which frustratingly hasn’t been picked up by any media reports. All the focus has been on, “ARGHHH!!! LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY THIS BLOKE EARNED FOR DOING MEDIA WORK DURING COVID!!!!”

The next thread in the story surely has to be that this same bloke was apparently so negatively impacted by Covid that a media business which he owned had to apply for help to survive in the form of an enormous tax-payer funded loan, and yet still managed to go under without repaying said loan, or any of its other debts including PAYE money, and all the while, that same bloke who owned the media company was earning hundreds of thousands of pounds for doing media work that was all apparently essential because of Covid 🤯

Somebody square that circle for us please.

It does not make sense that he was unable to pay back the £21k loan, when we know how much he had coming in. In any case, the repayments were very small over a number of years and the interest rate was tiny.

I'd imagine scrutiny of his bounceback loan is inevitable at this point, tbh. He'll be flagged on a list that somebody's currently working through.

Nothing to worry about aye, if he's got everything in order to back it up? 😏

I’m pretty sure the accounting for Simon’s failed businesses consists of numbers written in crayon on the back of Kit-Kat chunky wrappers.

When he went to apply for the bounce back loan and they asked for his turnover figures, he thought they meant, how many apple turnovers do you eat per year? That’s why the figure was so high.

But don’t worry, Si. When they start probing, just do what you did when the council asked you how you’d spent £163,000 of your grifting loot. Open excel, pick some random dates, type big numbers next to them and change the cell format to Currency. If it’s in excel then that’s proof.
 
When bounce back loans are on the docket, I can't be the only one reminded of

Ah the Bounce Back loan. It appears to be the case that his former business partner now resides in Thailand. You know, for the weather.

His other former associate at "socialkind", Kirsty, has escaped maybe to Africa to no doubt refresh her mastery of Swahili (referred to on her former Linkedin Profile).

What is it about the people in his life that leads them to leave? Both metaphorically and literally holding the "baby".

Anyway, atleast it gives law enforcement just one, captive focus for their enquiries. No need for extradition or anything like that.
 
He's shared his octopus referral link again, as well as the usual about content creators getting paid.

His Facebook accounts are similar to everyone else's, sharing family life, sharing what you are up to, and a few memes as well. He's doing the same thing millions of FB users are doing. His posts would each take only a few minutes to write and post, sharing a meme takes a few seconds. He's expecting to get paid for 20 minutes 'work' each day.

When was the last time he created a new piece of content? He must have carpal tunnel from copy and paste.
 
How are there still people out there who would begrudge our intrepid content cweator earning huge sums of money when he’s making such seismic contributions to our society? It’s baffling.

I mean, today, he’s reposted an old picture of an armchair that looks a bit like Bungle from Rainbow, shared a photo of a replica London Eye that someone made from potatoes, took a picture of some graffiti on a wall 🤷‍♂️, copy and pasted an old, terrible joke about having the shits, and stole someone else’s photo of an amusingly named window cleaning business.

You’re right, Simon. That’s an honest, influential, and hard days work if ever I saw one 👏. And to think that there are A&E nurses, social workers and firefighters out there who think THEY’VE got it hard! They should walk a day in your Velcro shoes. The fact that you’re no longer diving into vaults of cash like Scrooge McDuck, really is one of life’s great injustices.
