He’s testing the water here, gone in with a small target of £1,000 and a big show of “Look at my spweadsheet! See!!! I was honest all along!”

This will ramp up until he’s back doing hilarious campaigns to embarrass the evil torwees and the even more evil weform party. There will be tens of thousands of pounds resting in his own account in no time. The gall of the man really is quite something.

But what gets me is the people who still donate to him!!! If you’ve got spare money to give to charity, why would you give it to this self-aggrandising idiot?!?! It blows my mind.

Good for him that he managed to refrain from popping his Octopus referral link at the bottom though

well, call me a cynic but amazing how Simon can now be critical about KOC's approach to governance when before he was "just some bloke who makes memes" (6/8/24) and before "I have to make it very clear that while I have absolutely no understanding of governance and oversight from the point of view of a local authority (at the end of the day, why should I) [...]" (17/4/24)

Maybe Suffolk made him read up on it

That £100k they refer to was through Suffolk, not Essex. I'm disappointed in the lack of attention that the Suffolk angle has received. Suffolk council should also be receiving some of the shot and shell for spaffing £130,000 on the abominable Together for Suffolk page. Lots of juicy stuff to go at there with Kirsty's dodgy Socialkindsocialness companies. There is no way that the posts on that page have received a combined total of more than 130,000 likes. I reckon they've paid more than a fiver for every single engagement it ever had.

One thing I do like when Simon tries to defend himself, is when he bemoans the fact that nobody told him what to do. He did that with his tit 'Essex Hates Smoking' and 'Essex Loves Veterans' groups, and he's doing it here with the "I delivered what they told me to deliver" line.

Simon, they paid you hundreds of thousands of pounds because you sold yourself as the social media content cweating guwu. The legendary genius behind the side-splitting Southend News Network. This is a bit of a hunch but, maybe, just maybe, they were kinda expecting you to use your own initiative. Perhaps they thought you'd display a bit of dynamism in coming up with ideas to boost their social media profile. Instead of that, you sat around on your fat arse reposting other people's content, writing terrible jokes that got 3 likes, and waiting for someone to go, "here you are Simon, can you copy and paste this onto Facebook then send us your invoice?".

Now that it's failed, you sit there going, "it was everywone's fault except the bloke who got paid all the money."

Yeah, usually when local authorities pay over the odds for some sort of consultant it's because they want ... consulting and innovation and synergy and strategy bla bla bla

If they wanted someone to put content they'd created onto Facebook or create engaging content out of plain copy, they could have got a low to middling level comms bod in on 25-30k

Why can't he just say upfront where the money is going? That's how a fundraiser normally works. Instead it has to be the Vapid bleep Benevolent Fund and he decides where it goes after people have given. He is scum. Scum.

yeah he's quick to re-implement the 'I will donate it in £500 wodges' isn't he? What were they last time ... 'mini grants'?
