So if you missed it last night, let me fill you in.
It transpires that even long since Chartwells knew, beyond doubt, that this was their "hamper", and even after they started "apologising" to me in private, they cast doubt on my integrity where they thought I wouldn't see.
1/
Well of course I did see, didn't I.
So to be abundantly clear:
1. I have written proof it was a TEN day parcel. @BylineTimes published it. Other outlets saw it for due diligence.
2. It was presented in a basic, not very strong, white carrier bag.
2/
3. Chartwells knew that it was their parcel and that the photo was entirely accurate. Chartwells knew my school early last week and they were able to confirm the incident through their own staffing chains. How do I know? They told me.
3/
4. Even after knowing that this was all on them, they continued to slate me behind my back.
As I was doing my very best, to move the situation forward, they were doing their very best, to screw me over and avoid responsibility, while pretending to me they could change.
4/
They don't care.
They aren't trying to care.
They can't even be trusted to understand what it means to care.
The strategy is pretend it wasn't them and wait for me to go away. Take no responsibility. Don't really do anything. Fob the stupid woman off.
5/
If they'd have been happy to throw me to the lions, and they knew beyond all doubt I was 100% the real deal, was damaging their share price, and still they didn't want to truly make it better... What of your kids, who aren't in the headlines? What of any of our kids?
6/
(Not private school kids though, they wrote to those! It's just state school kids they have zero regard for.)
They showed you all how much they want to change in that letter, when they pretended there was doubt about my picture.
There isn't.
They won't change.

Oops, some of you missed the letter to the private schools? It's here:
What a stunningly out of touch list of threats. Let's address them shall we, why not. Then after we are done addressing them let's signal-boost the actual issue.
1. Thanks for your comment. It helps keep the topic in the spotlight. Very useful. 👍
2. So it's J Monroe who scares you? That's who you want to try to persuade me to distance from, "Ken"?
Have you heard this @BootstrapCook? "Ken" thinks you do my thinking for me. That's not very complimentary to my own abilities is it "Ken".
Quite unkind of you, indeed. 💔
3. I believe my children and I have a right to a private family life. CHILD SAFETY is why I protect that. I'd quite like that private family life back at the end.
Were I to lose that, I would have an involuntary permenant platform. You want to make campaigning a career for me?
Within minutes of saying I am done with Chartwells bullshit & hit breakpoint, I am getting screenshot-trolled for any time I said I was drinking over Christmas. (Wowee, what a scandal) It's a tactic. It's called playing the man not the ball. Happens all the time in politics.
1/
Not only do they think I'm stupid. They think you're all stupid. They (the collective, nebulous *they*) think you are all stupid. They think a screenshot of me mentioning gin somehow means the story about fatcat profits scraped from the tables of 1.4m kids on FSM won't matter
2/
This story ain't goin' nowhere Darlin'. I could delete my account, vanish off the face of the Earth tomorrow and Chartwells will still headline for weeks yet.
The more damage I sustain, the worse Chartwells look. Because we can all see who's interest this serves.

I've been speaking with Charlie Brown, Managing Director at @Chartwells_UK over the last few days.
I've been losing my patience a bit. It's not been as quick as I wanted, but we are here now. Some of this was organised today, some is from other days but here's a round up:
1/
Over the February school holiday, if there is no Government funding for #FreeSchoolMeals, at all the schools @Chartwells_UK is working in, Charlie commits to putting out boxes anyway.
From now, the school lunches boxes from @Chartwells_UK, are also going to cover breakfast as well. Chartwells will take the extra costs associated on the chin. They are fully aware they need to do better, and this is something we both feel is positive. (That was his idea).
3/
I have just read, from multiple need sources and a government release, that the Tories intend to cut #FreeSchoolMeals support in the February half term.
Are they high?
In a country ravaged by a pandemic, hammered by Covid, with child poverty soaring, and kids going hungry?
1/
That should say multiple news sources, but whatever, I am angry.
Don't gaslight me lads. I am not a fan. You either want to improve because you had a spot of bad luck and never meant it to be so bad, or you want to fuck me over so you can fuck over kids, uninterrupted.
Really need to get the children up and restart them on school work, but really struggling to. The letter I poured so much of my soul into to put shitty boy teacher back in his place never sent and now I'm so ultra averse to it. This is PTSD again. I recognise this demon. Super.
Plus also he did still make an example of me in front of the whole class, so actually I don't want to walk back in there (metaphorically) and it's pushing buttons about *trapped, can't leave* because I cannot relocate or change school.
This week LO will have LOs usual class teacher, nicknamed Miss Honey, again. LO really loves Miss Honey, like a favourite big sister, and it shows that Miss Honey cares very much about the class, including LO. But it still just all feels like Mr Arse.
