Another Dodgy Government deal 19:36 - Dec 21 with 732 viewsBasuco

Sorry if this was on earlier, VIP fast track system for businesses with connections to the government to be given PPE contracts, One PPE Medpro was in discussion for a contract before it even existed! "The contract had been under discussion “for a considerable time” before PPE Medpro was incorporated on 12 May, he said." How can a company be considered for a £200 million government contract before it is even incorporated?

We are no better than many dictator-led authoritarian states when it comes to cronyism.

Actually, we’re worse because we think we’re a democracy and that we have an opposition that hasn’t done and won’t do exactly the same. And we think have an independent, free-thinking media rather than cheerleaders looking for their piece of the action.

We’re a self-serving chumocracy from top to bottom. We’re Soccer AM in country form.

I am sure this sort of thing has always gone on in this country. However, it seems to be on a ridiculous scale and ridiculously brazen under this Government.

Then again, with Boris' record before election this shouldn't be any surprise

Dictators inevitably come to a sticky end.
The chums of this lot will end up as knights of the realm.
