This from Henry Butcher, Seaview. Ed


£8.7 billion was wasted on defective PPE during the Covid crisis, much of it paid to people associated with the Conservative Party.

Only one Company, PPE Medpro, is facing legal action. 

Why the silence?
Why is the Government not taking legal action against the other companies who have not delivered on their contract to the public, and why is it refusing to name these companies and the individuals involved?

Are they hoping that with time the public will loose interest and forget about the gigantic fraud perpetrated on the public purse, not least because it involves many people closely associated with the Conservative Party?
