That vile, lying Tory peer, Michelle Mone

I think the only truthful thing she said was "they all knew about it and didn't care", which is entirely believable because there was so much similar grift going on. I mean maybe individual people didn't know about that case but I mean you can't keep track of all the crooks can you.
 
I just twigged she's the same person who featured in a Peter Jones documentary on entrepreneurs 10+ years ago.

IIRC an interesting programmme... she starts at 29 mins..

 
60 million quid. For making a few phone calls to a dealer in Hong Kong and setting up a shell company to cash the cheques. It would take me 2,000 years to earn that much money. Longer in fact, because I don't live in a PO box on the Isle of Man so I would have to pay tax.

Well thats true to form though not necessarily one of my issues. That stinking good for nothing low life made £60 million out of a global crisis.
Talk about parasite.
 
The accusations of bribery are interesting - who would she have bribed? Not honest Matt Hancock for being given the contract surely surely :eek:

I've got zero sympathy for her whatsoever, but Mone seems to be the sacrificial lamb.

£9Bn wasted, rampant profiteering, extensive evidence of government ministers pulling levers for their mates who became, overnight, PPE specialists etc but Mone seems to the one offered up to take the fall. Clearly, she's staggeringly stupid enough and greedy enough and therefore fits the bill perfectly.

The real failure was the failure of the government to take control of companies and put them to work producing what was needed and to therefore control price and supply through national control. The failure to control or intervene in the market was the real crime.

But, in the absence of a coherent operation to get the rest of the £9Bn back with the threat of criminal charges for all profiteers and a detailed independent investigation into the conduct of government ministers this looks, to me, like Mone is going to carry the can and be a symbolic offering rather than a precursor to proper action.

I couldn’t care less what happens to her, but what about the rest of the grasping greedy cunts?

Might explain why all those No. 10 WhatsApp messages had to be 'lost'?
I like how the Graun has woven this thread into a completely unconnected news story (about a proposal to digitise wills and destroy the originals):

The apparent vulnerability was also revealed this month when the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, and the former prime minister Boris Johnson both claimed they could no longer access WhatsApp messages sought by the UK Covid-19 public inquiry.
🤣🤣🤣

 
She isn't going down without a fight. Wonder how many she can take with her ?:D.

Indeed. But, judging by the interview yesterday she'd be useless at hitting a cows arse with a banjo let alone bringing down her venal, but slippery, colleagues. The allegation that she made - that a bribe was suggested to make the NCA investigation go away would be explosive if true and proven. But even this lot coudn't be that stupid...could they?

I reckon they are that stupid.

It's like watching the previously presumed-dispatched henchman reappear out of the dark, grimly holding on to the legs of the duplicitous villain who threw them under the bus to slow down the good guy in the first place, as they desperately try to hold on to a fast-disintegrating rope over a dark abyss, the boss-hood's trousers slowly sliding down his thighs, offering the choice between humiliation or demise
 
The problem is, she's telling the absolute truth, now anyway, they all knew about it. My own boss at the time was doing the same shit and is probably shitting himself now. He managed to get his own PPE stuff buried to p14 from p1 in the papers because of his media connections but im sure it'll come back to bite him on the arse (he's in the house of lords too, also put there by Cameron like Money) although he 'stood down' during Covid as he's clearly a little brighter than Mone). And yeh, everybody knew what was going on. He also had a hotline to Gove. It was well dodgy.

I mean why was there a 'VIP lane' in the first place if not to help the tories give sacks full of public cash to their mates with minimal due process? Why didn't the DoHSC just hire half a dozen people to ring round suppliers and put in orders directly?

As far as I understand it, from my boss's position, he's always taken the same line as Mone that was doing the people a service. He called Hancock/Gove and recommended one of our clients (I worked in corporate PR) as a supplier as the country was in need, and hey presto, they got the contract and we got our retainer with them extended. Boiling it down like. That's what happened.

Why she did that interview is bonkers. Who was advising her.
