Another Dodgy Government deal 19:36 - Dec 21 with 732 views | Basuco | 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? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/21/firm-with-mystery-investors-wins-2 [Post edited 21 Dec 2020 19:36]

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. |  | |  |
