Carly Burd Salty Allotment #2 More red flags than Beijing on May Day.

[Witchfinder Sargeant]

The literal worst is when people say 'oh they've got phones, they've got sky'. That type of person that expects you to go without EVERYTHING to be worthy of the littlest bit of help

Benefits are all dealt with online, now, a smartphone is essential, especially given the reduction of library services and the difficulties in accessing free computer and Internet.

Some Sky packages are quite good value and it means you get a lot of entertainment, plus Internet access for kids' homework and accessing benefits and other support.

oh my god somebody needs to write a BBC4 sitcom based on the Carly/Colin beef

I’ve been following these threads for a few months and I think the thing that’s angered me the most is her saying her kids will judge who is deserving of a parcel. Poverty is not a fucking game show.

I am so glad I’ve been following this thread right from the start. Started a little slow but it’s really getting exciting now! Thanks everyone who’s been documenting and screenshotting!



It’s infuriating how she’s trying to have it both ways, she’s taken on the role of local hero providing for the poor and wants all the praise and admiration from that, but the moment anyone asks questions it’s “I don’t HAVE to give you people anything!” it’s clear she has no respect for any of the people she claims to care about and want to help, it’s all about her ego. She is completely disgusting and I hope she gets everything she deserves.

Ere we go

Also, I see how it is

Horrific

I hope the council never let any of these people near anyone

Were we aware that YourHarlow published a positively glowing article about Colin Thorpe’s allotment success last Friday?

Potter Street and Church Langley Community Garden has a very sunny future (but they need your help) - Your Harlow

FOR many years, the Potter Street allotment, between Carters Mead and Potter Street itself was a sorry site.

This exchange between St Carly, Nicola Purse (councillor who was super supportive but has now vanished) and Colin is v telling. Note the ‘oh your about’ (sic) bit from Carly.

I'm a bit confused by this. So, i was diagnosed with MS and you end up on a3 year medical driving licence. But I never had to actually send my licence off to anyone. I filled in a form for the DVLA and then they got in touch with my consultant. I only sent my licence back to DVLA once I'd received the new one. I don't understand why she's sending her driving licence off at all for medical review to a consultant - it's just a form to the DVLA. https://www.gov.uk/renew-medical-driving-licence#other-ways-to-apply

I feel like we're two revelations away from finding out the original allotment was dug in the garden to conceal a body.

There aren't enough IQ points in that group to make a pair of dice.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Essex is all batshit mad.

Is this article the British way of saying that the journalist is suspicious?

Will Harlow's community champion Carly Burd ever see her allotment of dreams become a reality? - Your Harlow

OVER the past few weeks, in the run up to Christmas, we have spoken to a number of individuals and organisations who are helping Harlow residents battle the cost of living crisis.

Good grief. That's a proper, studs up, two-footed tackle, that.

Here's a £62,500 tax bill from HMRC delivered by Royal Mail FOR FREE.

It's spilling into the group now

Meanwhile, on the other side of Harlow...

Happy to pass over one site to a local Charity, but not to St Carlznwaynya?

Maybe somebody was taking her claims of being competent, capable, organised honest and eminently suitable for the task with -




Come on, somebody had to say it in the end.





And it's gonna be me.






A pinch of salt.

So if fees are charged when you withdraw, that implies she had withdrawn the lot to her personal account.

ETA: We of course should be reassured by her abundance of good intentions and I'm sure HMRC will see it the same way.

31 Jan 24 - Carlz writes “what happened to the money? keep watching and you’ll see” on her self assessment tax form and then doesn’t post it on time. Writes “no negative vibes” around the envelope seal

If you are a horse in the Harlow area PM me pls and I promise you'll be on the next delivery

Hang on, does Colin not count as one of the elders we need to learn the old ways from?

That's a bit shit. Can't Wayne the Wonderful drop the parcels off? And do delivery drivers need a DBS?

Opinions vary but I had to have a DBS check when I did deliveries. You get a lot of very young kids answering the door or wanting to help take the shopping in item by item (lol, those ones took forever!) not to mention all the personal data concerns about knowing people's names and addresses, seeing inside their houses etc.

Just Eat who would tend to deliver at night and would tend to just hand over a bag of takeaway and then scarper probably not, but food parcel deliveries to obviously vulnerable households I would say yes they should.

Those screen shots above of the people asking for parcels and her being ill is just a shambles. St. Carly just needs to let other people help, there's no shame in it, she can still be the figurehead and take the glory as organiser/founder, in fact by accepting help she can reach a lot more people in need, so why wouldn't you. She could also then legitimately take a salary for her time organising and managing the volunteers.

You have to wonder, for all these people begging her for help, what has happened to the normal support channels in the area, have the usual foodbanks just given up and withdrawn from the area because she's impossible to work with/alongside and they can't get a look in, or they can't get any donations in those areas because she takes them all? Or are the people asking for help, double dipping from the regular food charities and her as well?

I still say with over £250k in the bank the best and easiest thing she could have done would have been to invest it with a major retailer and simply pay them to provide and deliver £5000 of food parcels a week, that would have lasted a year and I bet for the publicity the right supermarket or food delivery company would have matched it anyway and either delivered twice as much or for two years instead of one. Then she would have had a solid 1-2 years to fully concentrate on getting the allotment or small holding operation up to speed.
