Fred the shred Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 There will have been loads of dodgy deals in the rush to procure PPE and other products when the Covid lock down was in place , there was pure panic when medics were dying as a result of lack of protection these were dark days , people may have advised or bought stuff without correct proceedures because of the urgency of the matter or they may have taken advantage of a dreadful situation. I don’t think the truth of the matter will ever come out , lessons will be learned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the PPE scandals are so important is that they epitomise the way that British (and Manx) governments have operated in recent decades. Lots of mates acting as intermediaries in the way things are commissioned, all taking a percentage as the money goes through their hands. It was just with PPE the percentages were particularly high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 35 million then, that makes it so much better 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
