Remember the scandal when the Panama Papers broke? No me neither. Unfortunately people just don’t care anymore.

Same with the Biden scandal that’s broke in the US. Even faced with impending irrefutable proof Jo is implicated up to his eye balls in selling the US out people just don’t care.

What’s the solution?

Be it Labour or the Tories we’re gonna get shafted by them one way or the other. The contracts mentioned above are for what seems like C-19 bumf. The contracts would have went to someone anyway to provide this “service”. So it’s not so much a case of money being stolen but who’s getting the contract. We’d be paying out for it anyway.

But the drink swilling, fag smoking, folk you’re referring to are screwing over their fellow man. They’re effectively stealing hard earned tax money from those that work hard to pay it.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. So yes, as someone clearly pointed out the obvious to you, they are very different issues. But both need stopped, both need fixed. Saying we should not fix one because the other, regardless of which, is hardly the solution is it?

How would you address the issues raised regarding the C-19 contracts?

Not scrap a proper competitive tender   process.

I completely agree. But what are we the people gonna do about it? 

 

And its good that you're raising this concern as its a case in point that the Government is using C-19 to further their own agenda's. This has been raised by quite a few on here already, not this particular case but having huge misgivings from the outset that C-19 has been used and abused by the political class as a tool. Up till now many here have denied this and have derided anyone who dare think like this. 

 

Could the tide finally be turning and those that deny the unprecedented removal of our liberties all in the name of protecting the vulnerable start to realise its actually a crock?
