She truly is a grim creature. Devoid of anything remotely joyful - its misery upon misery upon vie and nasty sniping. Jack is (usually wholly unintentionally) hilarious on occasion. And Jack hasnā€™t (yet, to my knowledge) tried to be shock/funny by invoking Ian Huntley.

She's such a bully. Talks over anyone who tries to make an actual point that she doesn't agree with or is too stupid to understand. No wonder her kids are thugs.

The issue is that she just seems to get angry at such random things. If it was consistently the same stuff it would be less annoying, actually.

She definitely is. I donā€™t think her kids are thugs though.

The best ones are when she has completely misunderstood something and accuses others of being dense

Controversial opinion here but I am adding that charity to the ever growing list of organisations to actively avoid (luckily, a Manchester niche charity is easy to avoid) because of her literal pestering. This faux pearl clutching she is now indulging in tonight, in order to raise money is actually extremely annoying. I hope it fails miserably. If they want to associate with RSM, they deserve my contempt. Because itā€™s not hard to see exactly what she is.

Her tweets about Scotland and the pile on she has instigated against the "only xenophobic racist person in Scotland" are simply bizarre.

Does she genuinely think Scotland is some sort of utopia where racism and xenophobia don't exist?

I'm Irish. I also lived in Glasgow for years and I adore Scotland and Scottish people. But I'm not stupid. Racists and xenophobes are everywhere I'm afraid. I thought she'd be more aware of that, what with her being a very real very genuine Traveller and not just someone who lies online for attention.

Their accounts are interesting staff costs have doubled from the previous set of accounts despite going from 3 to 2 employees but their income has increased too so covering the extra staff cost

I just did a bit of light sniffing around and it seems that in 2021 they paid out more in wages than they did in food poverty relief. The staff are also ā€œself employedā€ and therefore donā€™t pay tax and national insurance.


FFS - even her charitable causes are looking a bit rum.

Is she not a traveller anymore then? She's taken the bit about raising her kids in a van out of her twitter bio. Not sure when, might have been ages ago tbf.

Jesus - the guy that runs that charity is paid Ā£36k+ to manage his staff of one - and 35 unpaid volunteers. And opened a foodbank after using one himself. Talk about create the job you want.

Honestly - I am exceedingly pleased with myself for not ā€œchipping inā€ to RSMs little side line in supporting this venture. And thinking of setting up a nice little earner/charity myself!

PS Lewey - you had Ā£53k net cash in the bank T end Feb ā€˜22. Crack some of that out for your ā€œtargetā€ instead of relying on RSM and her followers. šŸ˜”

What really happened:

She got a new lipstick. She asked one of her children how she looked. The child, desperate to keep the peace, said she looked nice. This, in RM's head, translated to 'model.' She smiled smugly to herself and immediately hopped on twitter for more validation. THE END.
Why underwear model?

Because it didn't happen and the detail is a red herring, is why.

But charities do need to pay staff to fundraise and manage volunteers etc and if they are helping feed people?

I think whoever mentioned social services has called it correctly, sheā€™s trying to go under the radar.
If half of what she posts is true then they need to be looking at her ā€œhome educationā€. I doubt that kid is doing anything but caring for her. He needs support.

Indeed - and yet, they spent (in 2022) Ā£23k on food and Ā£54k on everything else. And had Ā£50k+ balance in the bank at the end of the financial period but NEED Ā£3k in the next six days or kids will go hungry/have beans on toast for Christmas.

I suppose it is up to everyone where you choose to put your money. I am guessing they must do ok from actual food donations (in supermarket collection points, for example) which would help - but I am not giving to a charity that pays out more to itā€™s two staff members than the cause they purport to be helping.

I suppose everyone has to take a chance when they donate - but those accounts, combined with their association with our gobshite hero of the hour demonstrate they can get in the Trussel Trust bin for me.

Whatever she is doing, it certainly wouldnā€™t be called schooling in even the loosest of terms.

She has shared a thread about personalised stories to raise money and why she wonā€™t and, as usual, itā€™s yawnsville but the actual brass balls of her concluding statement beggars belief.

She might have forgotten about the zine packed full of personalised poverty porn but we most certainly havenā€™t. Outrageous mare!
