Yeah, like when he drove his kids for hours to a closed chip shop just so he could take it to a newspaper.
Oh he can't comment on that. Adil is one of his good guysLittler was large-shamed on GMB the other day. But too close to home for Swimon to comment on.
He's so bleeping self righteous isn't he? I used to just dislike him, but now I honestly hate the harmless bleep. Subtweet that, you large imbecile (I know it's not a tweet, but "sub-facebook status that" doesn't sound right haha)Who’s he talking about now?! You’d really think someone so sensitive to any form of comment that isn’t up his a would stay off social media.

That's far from a slagging off, looks on the face of it to be a well researched and factually backed up statement on the situation as a whole!I think this might be what he is upset by: View attachment 3351573
He moans about being "slagged off in a public space" and claims to have "stumbled upon" the criticism. But let’s unpack why this statement, much like his inflated public contracts, doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
The critique posted by Jon Morter’s ex-wife was reposted by United in Kind, the very platform Kirsty's "crack team" of social media experts - including her favourite Simon, helped establish. Conveniently, Simon omits that United in Kind is now likely under the control of Jon, his former collaborator. Given their intertwined professional and personal histories, it’s disingenuous to suggest he "stumbled upon" this. Simon’s framing of this as a random encounter feels like a deliberate attempt to downplay his awareness of the controversy. His cryptic “I am the victim” post is designed to mislead his supporters, who likely remain unaware of these details.
And what is she criticizing? Simon’s receipt of nearly half a million pounds in public funds to manage social media for Essex County Council during the pandemic. This is alongside allegations of improper contracting practices, unchecked nepotism, and a disregard for fair pay and accountability. Instead of addressing these serious points, Simon’s response is classic deflection. Rather than engaging with the issues of inflated payments, stolen ideas, or mismanagement, he wants you to focus on his feelings—how "hurt" he is by people’s ingratitude.
This is classic victim framing: avoid accountability by making it about betrayal and your wounded pwide.
Yeah, it’s a bit like consent, isn’t it? If someone consents in the past it doesn’t mean they’re still consenting now, you have to check. I would have thought Essex’s #1 large boy feminist would know that.how does having helped someone "a few years ago" negate that in the subsequent/same years you were ostensibly involved/complicit/adjacent (however directly or indirectly and however much control you had) in shafting someone close to them?
