It's such a feat of rhetorical gymnastics that I rent this house out to my extended family because if I didn't, I'd have a tenant who might not pay the rent or / and (*) might be a SH1TTER. Completely sidestepping whether the house should have been bought in the first place.

(*) to quote James

So conflicted on how to react to this post because on one hand it's infuriating but on the other hand I will always laugh at SH1TTER.

It's blatantly obvious that Jimmy often decides he wants to spend fundraised money on something for himself or his family and then he retcons a bullshit reason for it. Does up his garden, claims it's for "the community". Buys a house for his family, it's for "the community". Wants a car? For "the community". Grandkid's sports need need funding? It's for "the community"

With zero regard for "the community" he's scamming.

Re: bit in bold, how does one do this if he's blocked you on every social media platform for liking posts that were rightly negative about him?

Well, there is a complaints form on their website....

Although, it looks like James is deflecting any complaints by telling people to wait until the outcome of the Ofcom investigation. Which is a joke because (a) Ofcom won't be investigating shoddy plumbing work or requests for refunds on donations and (b) Ofcom won't be investigating his complaint about the BBC programme at all since Jimmy hasn't followed proper procedures to lodge a first complaint with the BBC itself.

And don’t forget you’ll have to sign a (non legally binding) NDA if you contact them via that.

he has "loaned" them to the "community" due to #cancer #disabled #elderly and they have a repayment scheme of 50p a year for life #depher #talks more crap than a sewage plant
It fucks me up that I was gonna make this joke and he's so repetitive I didn't have to

I screenshotted these yesterday but didn't share, he's ignoring people asking for help for a while whilst posting old work



Edit: sorry, missed a squiggle!

'If you wish to come and visit us and see what we do, or even if you want to visit some customers, with permission, we can arrange that'
Omg why would he even suggest that? He might be letting any wrong un into these vulnerable people's homes to have a nose around.

Does he not factor into the equation that the CIC pot is now £70k down due to the purchase of a house that nobody donated for, and that it’s going to take forever to repay it at just £400 a month before he even starts making a profit that can be classed as a benefit to the CIC?

It is as if the £70k has been written off. Fool.

It must only make sense in his pea sized egotistical brain that having a guaranteed return of £400pm (which is the lowest rent I've came across) is better for the community he's 'helping' than say the £73k that was already in the account.

It's diabolical that he'd spend funds generously donated to tackle fuel poverty to benefit himself and his family. I couldn't even try and count how many years a house bought for £73k and only generating £400pm could take to return a profit.

It's also sad that people even on lower incomes donated because Hugh Grant made such large donations, which further legitimised his company to others, and he's stayed silent.

I really hope there's some sort of criminal charges brought against this gormless knobhead and people get their donations refunded to them. In my eyes, it's nothing short of stealing.

Yes the house is impossible to justify. Impossible. He used donations to buy a house for his family to live in
It does not benefit the community in the slightest. If we are to believe for one second the pitiful £400 rent goes into Depher it means the 'community' get £400pm instead of £73k.
And nobody cares if the tenants look after the place as it's irrelevant. It should never have been bought in the first place.
As for saying it will be used free for homeless people or as a refuge. Bullshit. Unworkable.
What's most telling is he kept very quiet about this house until it was revealed on twitter by 'Mark' I think? If it was so above board why not be honest when it was purchased? He knew it was dishonest.
