Centre parcs is expensive 1111111!!!!!!!!!!!111!!
Quite funny to see the only original content he can muster these days are his football opinions and his latest one about Arsenal being fined and how unfair he thinks it is has pretty much every comment disagreeing with him.
He's finished isn't he... A slow and unexciting but irretrievable demise a la Jack Monroe...
Yeah he really is done. He’s clinging to the dying light with all the “I zinged Fawage four years ago LOLZ” posts. But the glory days are long gone. The Flying Fawage has sailed off into the sunset. Probably with Kirsty on board going, “Simon? I’ve never met anyone called Simon.”
Loads of his posts fail to even hit fifty likes now. The problem with setting yourself up as the pompous, high and mighty political activist, making a name for yourself by skewering a terrible failing government, is that we have elections. And when your party get in and prove themselves not to be the bastions of morality and honesty that we were all promised, you’re left completely ignoring every major political story that everyone else is talking about, and aiming your genius satiwical barbs at a totally irrelevant opposition, a party with 5 MP’s and the president of another country. Nobody cares about you anymore, Simon

FTFY xYeah he really is done. He’s clinging to the dying light with all the “I zinged Fawage four years ago LOLZ” posts. But the glory days are long gone. The Flying Fawage has sailed off into the sunset. Probably with Kirsty on board going, “Simon? I’ve never met anyone called Simon.”
Loads of his posts fail to even hit fifty likes now. The problem with setting yourself up as the pompous, high and mighty political activist, making a name for yourself by skewering a terrible failing government, is that then everyone finds out about public monies of half a mil “resting” in your bank account and you’re a worse person than those you were lambasting. Nobody cares about you anymore, Simon
He posted a Sydney Sweeney meme the other day and got a lot of pushback for that too, I think people may have just realised he's a pwick!
Looks like it's finally sinking in that if he hadn't been a money grubbing grifter then none of this would have happened.

I know people keep telling me to ‘let it go’ Elsa-style, but Essex Liberal Democrats are now sending this campaign leaflet to homes all over the county. So, if I am going to be used as a ‘vote puller’ from now until the next local elections in 2026 or whenever they may be, I feel that it is only fair for them to answer a few minor, trifling questions that I have about their conduct. After all, why should I lie back and think of England while politicians have a good old time?
- On 10th December 2024 in Full Council at County Hall in Chelmsford, the Lib Dem Cllr Mark Cory said the following:
“No detailed documentation was prepared before those payments were put out to (social media company or) Simon Harris himself.”
The issue I have with this is that I am currently resting my left hand on a pile of SLAs (Service Level Agreements) or ‘contracts’ that make it perfectly clear what I was to be paid, what was expected of me, and what may happen if I decided to not fulfil my obligations.
There are in fact 25 of them covering the duration of time working with Essex County Council both before, during and after the pandemic, including agreements that cover the ‘onward payment’ arrangements that all parties have now agreed were ‘regrettable.’ These are even listed on ECC’s own website reporting of the situation. Maths has never been my strongest suit, but even I can figure out that there’s a world of difference between ‘no documentation’ and ‘25 documents.’ Why did Cllr Cory believe otherwise?
It’s also interesting that Private Eye Magazine have repeated this ‘no documentation’ accusation on at least one occasion. Their own journalist told me that ‘councillors’ had been speaking to them in the process of their information gathering. Now I’m not saying for one moment that a Liberal Democrat cllr has been passing inaccurate or misleading information to the press as that would be an incredibly serious state of affairs, but at the same time any information you may have about how Private Eye may have reached this conclusion would be very much appreciated. It could have just as easily been a Tory, Labour or Independent cllr after all.
It’s worth pointing out as well that this was the same Full Council where Cllr Mike Mackrory (Lib Dem) just applied the blanket term ‘dubious’ to describe my work as a whole.
I agreed to withdraw my formal complaint about this when ECC agreed to update the ambiguous wording on their website to make it clear that investigations had concluded into the matter because others had taken it upon themselves to tell Private Eye and others that the police were heavily involved, but the fact remains that the word was used to describe work that had been evaluated by Public Health, TheGovLab / NYU, NIHR, and even Meta themselves when I was invited to present some of the work to (then) Prince Charles in 2022. I’d appreciate Cllr Mackrory’s thoughts on this too.
- In March 2024, the Audit, Governance and Standards Committee of Essex County Council that includes ECC Lib Dem Cllrs asked me for performance statistics that don’t actually exist for a Facebook page, namely ‘number of unique visitors.’ I was also asked for ‘page visits’ which was a possible metric to provide.
The committee also confused a Facebook ‘page’ and a Facebook ‘group’ on at least one occasion, and more concerning was the fact that I was never invited to answer questions or give evidence to the committee, beyond the request for a few statistics that didn’t really represent the entirety of what Essex Coronavirus Action / Essex Is United achieved.
I was told all along that this committee would only be investigating ECC’s role and not the actions of Facebook admins, and yet opposition politicians grabbed every opportunity to perform a full-on professional character assassination of myself. Please explain how this was in any way fair or even democratic.
- Labelling myself merely as an ‘Internet prankster who was paid £500k without due diligence,’ even though this aspect of my online past had very little to do with my work at Essex County Council is a tactic that has been used by the ‘clickbait’ press to plant the seed in people’s minds that I have somehow ‘pranked’ a local authority into handing over half a million pounds for barely anything in return.
The Liberal Democrats know very well that not only did ECC get a significant amount of content creation and other associated activity in return, but also that more than £167k of any figures quoted was provided (regrettably) for onward payment to other individuals and organisations.
I know ‘Content Creator EARNS an average of £96k per annum for creating content over a four-year period including a pandemic when local authorities had to act at pace to deal with an increasingly concerning situation, with a significant proportion of this being funded by COMF which was a central government ‘pot’ specifically for tackling the pandemic as opposed to Simon Harris cynically grabbing wads of cash from a biscuit tin on a shelf at County Hall marked ‘Pothole Repairs’ doesn’t have quite the same oomph as a headline, but then again surely a political party has a duty to not mislead the public with context-free statements?
TRIGGER WARNING. The following section mentions suicide.
- Remember as well that I have seen some absolutely horrendous stuff said online about all of this, including at least one direct threat of violence that has been referred to Essex Police.
An element of this crowd also openly admits using forums that are dedicated to pushing online personalities towards taking their own lives. Surely contributing to this gross misrepresentation of my work has some sort of role in driving this behaviour, even in a small way.
If the unthinkable did happen in one form or another, and God-willing it won’t, would leafleting the whole county with this statement be looked upon in a favourable light? Again, your thoughts would be appreciated.
- As you are also aware, there were a number of people whose work with ECC was called into question over the pandemic. I accept that figures quoted for others weren’t on the same level as myself, but at the same time they weren’t insignificant either as they either approached six-figure sums or passed this level completely.
In December’s Full Council, Cllr Cory referred to this as ‘The Simon Harris Affair’ in a Hollywood-style attempt to make political capital, and there seems to be a real reluctance amongst the Liberal Democrats to publicly mention anyone else in these blockbuster pieces of political comms. Is there anything I need to know?
A copy of this post has been sent to Cllrs Mackrory and Cory for their attention. I will of course share any response to the questions I have asked, unless I receive a request to the contrary.

Sorry I need a favour. If any of you bump into my autistic son can you try not to let him know that I’ve let him down by getting contracted by ECC for social media work. Much appreciated.

I mean I got bored reading that. Simon, the detailed documentation he means are payslips for the peo0e you paid , or invoices, delegated authority sign offs for the payments deatiling why they're being made in this manner, etc. Not your contract or your SLA. head.
then there was a million boring paragraphs I didn’t read because you don’t know what the duck you’re on about.
Then there was a sadfish using your son as a human shield (people just target that one kid? I thought he had a few?) pathetic.

the photo shared of the campaign leaflet
OK we can quibble about whether he's a prankster or not, but that one sentence is fairly watertight. They didn't go through due diligence. He's not even named there.

You’d think the big takeaway from the leaflet would be lack of SEND provision from Mr My Son Is Autistic, but no it’s mememememememeeeeee
"Forums that are dedicated to pushing online personalities towards taking their own lives." Such forums do exist, but Tattle isn't one of them. He knows exactly what he's doing
Nobody believes a word of a Lib Dem leaflet. All he is doing is drawing more attention to his grift.
Yes, or if there is evidence that there was any kind of competitive tender for this work before he was given it.
We know the answer to that one, and so do you Simon you large wanker.
Haha what a load of tit. He has 100% had legal advice and has clearly been told he hasn't got a leg to stand on.
I mean the Lib Dems could write a 1000 word essay providing 'context' in their campaign leaflet but that's neither snappy nor interesting so one throwaway sentence that is not defamatory is probably the better option
also for goodness' sake (then) Prince Charles just happened to be at the event it's not like Essex is United was royally appointed
Insinuating he's going to kill himself if people don't stop pointing out what he did is messed up. I hear him talk about it more than anyone else.
Using his kid as a human shield- really messed up and the fact his kid has autism has got nothing to do with it. Why add that bit in. He doesn't mention his other kids, only the one with autism and his neurodiveristy means nothing here.
He's be the first to kick off is someone made a thing of it.
He's bleeping gross and his kid deserves better.
