Get so easily overlooked or accepted?
Wasting 3.7 million on something that has failed than badly would be a disgrace.
37 million, 370 million, 3.7 billion, no it is apparently 37 BILLION
How can that much even get spent in such a short space of time??
It is the biggest scandal in the history of this country. No one uses it and when they did it didn't work.
37 BILLION! |  |

Not denying there has been wasted money and opportunities, the 37B figures is not representative of just tracing.

As you say, how can it cost that much? See also motorways: £1m every mile. How?! Are the paying Alan Shearer's salary?! |  | | |

So no one has a clue how much? The opposition should be demanding transparency and answers and the government should be doing everything to be transparent | |

I believe that Dido Harding, chair of track and trace, is in the frame for being head of the NHS.
This is all beyond being Lambertian. |  | | |

It’s not all wasted tax money though. Some of it will surely be recycled from the private sector receptors back into the nasty party coffers |  | | |

It won't be forgotten, at the moment it seems much of the public is willing to give the Tories a free ride on the back of the vaccinations.
That won't last forever and then these things will hopefully come to the fore.

just as it would building much needed housing, filling pot holes, putting in fast fibre broadband
or maybe building kitchens at certain schools to feed kids decent food, which could be used as 'dark kitchens' in the evenings/weekends |  | | |

And as a reward for her complete and utter failure in charge of track and trace, Dido Harding is given the role to run the agency that will replace Public Health England. |  | | |

PHE's reward for such a brilliant role out of the vaccine program is to be replaced by a Government quango. | | | |

It’s a shame media outlets don’t challenge or investigate the 37b figure. It’s an astronomical number which makes no sense. |  |

And be accused of being 'woke' ?
There have been numerous articles in the progressive media, but at the moment the government are getting an easy rude as the pandemic is seen to be brought under control just as a pandemic of absolute thick as sh it stupidity* rages across the land - though not in Amersham it would appear
* symptoms being a persistent need to tug at your forelock while constantly muttering 'master knows best' | | | |

Now now, no need to be patronising - perhaps some of us do not get the mantra that;
If Labour did it - Good
If Conservatives did it - Bad | | | |

Because your average Tory voter doesn't care about proper governance, policies or abiding by the rule of law, but they are very interested in getting one over on the libs, even if it means their lives and the country as a whole are worse off as a result.
Still, Brexit got 'done' and have to say my life has improved immeasurably. Can do so much more now that I couldn't before. So much freedom. |  |

Im sure any a non educated fool like myself could find a bigger IT scandal ..to compare to track and trace, maybe even one without the pressures of a global pandemic involved.. | | | |

err no
it is consistently the other way round, as suggested by bazzas ignorance,
hence the need for corrections
"What we do know, however, is that Mr. Brown and Alistair Darling, the chancellor of the Exchequer (equivalent to our Treasury secretary), have defined the character of the worldwide rescue effort, with other wealthy nations playing catch-up."
https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/opinion/13krugman.html
not the 'rightie' view your sort like to peddle, but worth noting that in 2005 George Osborne was talking in praise of the reckless borrowing that led up to that crash with words
"What has caused this Irish miracle, and how can we in Britain emulate it? "
we can only wonder who would have been able to bail out the UK, were it to have followed such a path
odd thing history, never what the righties would have you or them believe | | | |

Slowly......................
without the UK government underwriting bank losses, the whole UK banking system was likely to have collapsed
the cause was from the US, NOT the UK
the money used was in loans
your stupidity is that of some one who claims the current chancellor is responsible for the pandemic and should not have used government money for loans to businesses or furlough payments
when that person is trying to defend the £38m Johnson wasted on the failed garden bridge | | | |

This post is indicative of people reading headlines and not looking at the details.
37 B has been budgeted for the program agreed, the majority of that is one the testing side and is due to be spread over a number of years.
The UK government DID NOT spend that amount of money building an app.
Please stop sensationalising and do a little research first. You hate the government and that's fine, but falsehood statements make you look ill informed. Unless you are appealing to people who also don't read or understand the details? |  |

According to your original post the government have clearly spent 37 Billion.
Are you now saying that you agree you've misrepresented the figures? If so maybe adjust your original post as it seems to misrepresent what you understand? | |
