Simon Harris #4 He lost 5 stone, and gained 457 thousand pounds

Here's something interesting - may be taken down at some point:



From about 1:18 onwards in particular

Talking about their suicide prevention work

O'Callaghan talks about rolling out training - first of all in Woodham Ferrers (Morter's area) and says they trained "about 450" (voice goes up) people and then goes on to say they have "to date trained about 45,000" (eyes to the side) people in Essex. There are a lot of "abouts" with O'Callaghan. The coverage then shifts to coverage of guess who, someone who has done the training. And who might that be you ask? It is our friend Simon. And where is he you might ask - at the Monkey Bizness nursery in Hockley. And which social media and comms specialist in the Hockley area has done promotional work and fundraisers for them you might ask? Simon Harris. Absolutely nothing wrong with that at all. But, if there are "about" 45,000 grateful recepients of suicide awareness training in Essex was this the only person you could get to speak so highly of it - or was that just for "expediency"

Happy for this to be shared

Why are they all so fucking enormous?

Wow - only 13 microgrants? What is going on? Has he vastly overestimated the desperate need for formula then? Or you would think his hand would be bitten off.
So the problem is that he didn't do his research and got it wrong but kept accepting money, or something very strange is happening so that he is still sitting on nearly £21k.

It may well be that he’s overestimated. Or charities/food banks might already have their own budgets for formula. Looking at news stories around this there don’t seem to be any concrete numbers on how much formula is given out. Quite a few journalists visiting food banks and saying they’ve seen X number of mums asking for formula, but obviously that’s not a good indicator. Also, I suspect if you’re on the bones of your arse you’d buy formula before anything else, then visit a food bank, so the baby’s needs may already be taken care of.

These are good explanations as to why food banks generally don’t give out formula: https://www.theguardian.com/society...having-to-rely-on-food-banks-for-baby-formula

Essex dad's secret to losing 5 stone in 5 months with simple swaps

Simon Harris used to regularly eat sweet snacks like Jaffa cakes and chocolate - but has now swapped them for fruit, veg, salads and protein-heavy breakfasts while stepping up his daily movement

I've heard his mate Kirsty, ex of Essex County Council, is a bit of a feeder:

Kirsty's former boss - I suspect this is where the sense of monetary entitlement came from:

Maybe now a chance to try something new? An idea that he'd always wanted to try but never had the time....

At the very least, you'd hope they look into it, even if purely so they don't look like fools for printing just a fluff piece interview if this goes bigger.

His wife is lovely as far as I know/from what I’ve been told.

Is she the third person on that screenshot from the company website?

 

[Fred Santos]

He's been very quiet over the last few days - I am almost beginning to miss him. Maybe something is up?

I couldn’t tell you the last time I sent a text that wasn’t either via iMessage or WhatsApp. But I did just receive a phone call from 1996. It said it wants its joke back, Simon.

Talk about Mr. Internet Comedian having his finger on the pulse. How do we reckon he keeps track of all his witticisms? They seem to run on a fairly regular cycle. Do we think he carries a little notebook around with reminders?

- August 16th, run a Center Parcs is expensive gag. This got 47 likes in 2021.
- November 22nd, make a joke about the KFC logo looking like Rolf Harris. Remember, this was repeated on Essex Live (without a credit. Don’t forget to keep leaving messages for that journalist as he needs to update it, I don’t care if the article is 18 months old now).
- March 2nd, BMW drivers don’t indicate (it’s possible Martin will like this joke so tag him in it. Could lead to a 27 second slot on the podcast).

and so on, and so on…

A tree came down in the high winds the other week and knocked out the telegraph pole outside my mother's house, so they'd been without landline and Internet (and she has a woeful monthly data allowance). I actually had to go deep into the settings of my phone to turn off RCS messaging so I could contact her via SMS.

So: is he still active on that Facebook page and being paid for it?

 

[IcanSpellBéchamel]

Back in 2021 she was asked to say something to go on their channels to "amplify" key public health messages and this she did, garnering with her at that time, significant fame, a huge 90 likes. But it's OK becuase facebook algorithms tell us that 83,000 people - that's actual people whose lives would have no doubt been transformed by the wisdom - saw - yes saw the video (gasp)

I don't know how these things work; is it 83,000 different people, or 41.500 people watching it twice, or 20,750 people watching it four times (etc)?

What company it? This thread is moving so fast I can’t keep up.

Dammit, it's still headline news at the BBC. Maybe our Simon will fake taking a break over Christmas - you know, for the kids

This is the one I meant (first screenshot in this post), but I don't think it is the same woman. They just look a bit similar.

I don't actually understand how GFM works so this is very interesting. I do think he thinks he comes across as harmless. With his jokes and self deprecating comments about himself. Who would distrust jovial chubster Simon. But something is very much amiss. I see on the subpostmasters tweet he...

[Yer_wha?!]

Was interesting that he finally gave an update on the baby formula VERY soon after it was pointed out on here that it had all gone suspiciously quiet...

Hi Simon!

Thought exactly the same myself!

 

[HotesTilaire]

I still think he is involved in The Poke, Rob won't admit it yet . I'll keep asking, same shit content and he features often.

Off topic but I hate James Herring he’s a proper shithead
