I knew this arsehole’s ego and arrogance would be his downfall and I am here for it.
Aside from the fact that he is just not funny and incredibly snide, he’s really shown his arse over this Horizon debacle. He is the full of ego that he has tried to centre himself in a horrendous scandal and rather than sending his “huge fan base” to legitimate causes and charities that can help people, he insists on these GoFundMe Vanity Projects.
This horizon debacle raises further questions for me. Has the baby formula fund been done in the same way as he tried to do with Horizon? If a charity is linked at the point where the fund is set up then no one but GoFundMe or the charity can access. If not, then…..
He isn’t the first to take the piss with Local Authority contracts but once again, it’s the arrogance of believing you can attention seek to the point of a small local profile but also manage to piss off enough people with your awful behaviour and personality that they will go out of their way to out you. Not that it’s hard, it’s like Super Simon isn’t aware of FOI….
I am quite surprised he went with “removed because of police investigation” and not “trolls are driving me to suicide” which is the cry of people like Jack Monroe (another one) when people ask reasonable question or raise genuine concerns and they get caught out. He need not start that shit thank you very much.

Been lurking for a bit as there was always something I disliked about Simon Harris, I think it was how he 'educated' people by mocking and attacking them aggressively.
The thing that angers me about this the most is that he always acted like he was the average person struggling as much as the rest of us and persuading people to give to his various gofundmes when in reality he was earning 9 times the average wage alone, in a two wage household. I wonder how much of his own money he generously gave to all these causes. I'm guessing he'd say that his time was his donation, and yeah, I don't agree with people working for free, but he chose to do these campaigns, which are very questionable and self serving.
I wonder where the £250k a year he was earning went, because it would be pointless having hundreds of thousands in the bank while wearing ill fitting old tshirts to maintain the illusion of being the common man.
THIS. Absolutely all of this. I’ve never ever bought that “common man” shite. It was very performative and like most of what he tries to sell, I don’t buy.
Despite being a working class socialist (I cringed writing that, felt like Common Man Simon, there is a reason why I’ve mentioned this, honest) I don’t like that thing he does that really thick people who pretend to follow politics and general news do by just slagging off people who earn good money, were born into good families, vote conservative etc. He doesn’t have a valid point on the issues or a person’s personal politics, he just does that panto villain thing of shouting “boo,hiss Tory”, or “rich people are terrible” (despite sitting on a six figure salary in Southend) and sits back like a fucking seal waiting for the clap from the audience. It may shock him know that not all conservatives are like Suella, and they don’t always agree with policy themselves. If he was making the sort of comments he makes about the working class, he would quite rightly be called out for it. I’ve also done fairly well for myself so by his definition, I’m probably a Tory. He has such a narrow and ignorant view of the world and people, it’s not black and white.
He is the female Jack Monroe and I stand by that. It’s all cosplay.

Maybe he will go full Lorraine Kelly and claim Simon Harris is a character he plays, for money.
Can I have the tea on Lorraine please? I’ve said for YEARS there is something I don’t buy or like about her and I can’t put my finger on it.
I can make donation to the owl sanctuary in return for tea babes, just set up a GoFundMe. A very special one because of your very special relationship with GoFundMe.
