I think you might be getting the two cases muddled tender stem @Foxvint

The copper who shot Chris Kaba hasn’t been identified and is yet to go on trial for murder. The two who lied about being able to smell cannabis in top athletes Bianca Williams and Ricardo dos Santos‘s car have been sacked and their fundraiser has made nearly £130,000
Oh ok sorry. I have done a Monday chaoi 🤐

My view is that is there's no Christmas collab, even a little one, she's finished. There are so many other cheffy personalities coming through social media and things like bake off that whatever the brief, there will be someone better than Jack.

I suspect she's not doing much and is a little bit paralyzed about what she should do. Applying for jobs that are "beneath her" on the agenda yet, but jobs that her profile might help her with e.g. something with TT would need to be handled carefully as they/she will be wary of backlash and it might not be worth it. At the moment I'm guessing her income is enough to live off of, plus Currys will have covered her for a couple of months.

This time next year will be a different story and I'd be shitting myself if I were her.
I'll keep tabs on the railway grapevine for any news of crumbly shouldered gym rat ronseal smol pixies wanting to drive trains.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the squigs (including Russ himself) who said they were donating were expecting an actual crowdfunder to appear and then just didn't donate when it didn't. Did she make more than £1500? Possibly. But I don't think it's £20k levels personally - or her paypal would have been locked for potential money laundering (It was her personal paypal) and we'd have all been tweeted to a whine about that.
Grunking catch up so might have already been replied to: How can you tell it's her personal account though? If it's cos it's got her name on it: mine is a biz account and it has my real name as the payment address (ie: paypalme/janesmith). Also as long is the account is verified, there's no limits to receiving, even if it is a personal account. I would have thought she verified years ago.

The only reason I can think of that would keep her off SM for this long is that she is finally being investigated. Be that by HMRC, Charity Commission, or even the police for fraud (or crimes against food and fashion.)

🤞
Now that would be a wonderful Christmas gift.

Has anyone been watching the drama unfold on Twitter over the weekend? A struggling mum posts video of Aldi manager treating her horrendously at the till & refusing to serve. Video goes viral, picked up by left wing academics etc. A hefty donation goes in from the Problematic Plumber. A "buy me a ko-fi" link appears. After she raised (she says) £700 yesterday, a JM Usual Suspect pops up to identify her as a serial gofundme/PayPal/Kofi for "need new cooker/uniforms/kids shoes" & claims to have reported to DWP. Ko-fi link gone, all previous fundraisers deleted, text of message she has sent to DWP in her own defence posted. She appears to be well versed in all the rules of declaring "charitable gifts" etc.
I hope Jack is watching, because you know what?
is this the one i was going on about earlier this year who was previously fundraising for twins' school uniforms, ipads, etc etc?

Also, if you search her username on Xitter there are about 8 other accounts with the same name that are temporarily restricted due to 'unusual activity'.
Just realised Nitter works. have looked her up on her own account, but haven't looked for any of her suspended ones.

the thing is, these left wing hand wringers who give to her and Jack and their ilk would walk past someone begging on the street.

Or give a hot drink or a sandwich rather than a handful of change that might be spent in ways in which they wouldn't approve.

exactly that. i get not everyone wants to give to street beggars, but if you are able to give and you do, then it isn't for you to put a condition on what the money is spent on. either give or don't, but once you've given it, the choice is no longer yours.

harsh, and please feel free to judge me all you like, but i don't give a penny to anyone now. i stopped charity donations, stopped donating to the local food banks once they became affiliated to the Trussel Trust, and i don't give to beggars on the street or any crowdfunders online.

I always like what the Aussie comic Steve Hughes says about giving money to beggars: “When people say why do you do that, they’ll only spend it on drink or drugs? So what? That’s what I was going to spend it on anyway.”

Just looking at the video now. Assuming there is more to it as I don’t see why the staff member could be arsed taking the vouchers and then not giving the groceries unless I am missing something

My thoughts exactly. Where is the context?

With you on that - she must have raised quite the pile of dosh over the years.
What is she going to do now her reputation is in absolute tatters? She could volunteer for real, I suppose, without looking for kudos and validation.
Personally, I would move to Australia or deepest darkest Peru and start over.😁
No! She simply cannot be allowed to move to Peru!!

Foisting her orange-based slops on Paddington…it will not stand!
