You can stick his name into the GoFundMe website and there are still quite a few of his on there. To be fair, most of them have that little green tick so I think that means he never accesses the money. But not all of them.
Obviously the big ones we know about, McDonald’s and Formula but there are others that picked up a few grand here and there, and who knows where the money went.
To be honest I think the GFM stuff is the least of his worries. My gut is telling me that the bigger fish is the £484k and the dodgy awards of public sector contracts. Almost half a million quid to admin some local Facebook groups where he’s lucky to get 2 likes per post, allegedly awarded by his mate who gave the contract to a company that she owns which is a phoenix from the flames of another company that was struck off for not submitting accounts, 9 days before the new one was formed with basically the same name. The whole thing STINKS and I reckon that’s what has him shitting his pants.
The Twitter account to keep an eye now is his mate Kirsty. Hopefully she gets dragged into the net of the investigation but I wouldn’t be surprised to see her go private or disappear in the same way Harris has.
Yes, yes and yes.
Absolutely spot on correct.
The trouble is, for her, if she wants to remain employed, she will need to maintain a certain level of profile. This is really now about the extent to which Essex County Council is prepared to throw her under the bus or to go all in a report the matter to the police as I think they should have some time ago. It reflects badly upon them, but they can always put it down to a rogue employee. I'd be wanting questions asked about transactions between Simon and Kirsty - no one else within her orbit was given as much as he was, and as the last few days have shown, he's not that bright and may have just gone along with something from which he didn't benefit nearly as much as it first looks like he did.
When I started asking about this on tattle, I didn't suspect anything really about the GFM stuff and until about three or four hours ago was ambivalent about it but even if it is a huge thing it can't be left at that. The
other huge thing also needs paying close attention to or else not everybody who might need to be held to account will be.
