Rich Tories and their scams cost the country far more than benefit scroungers

michelegrant.bsky.social•86 days ago

That was the point of the post

The corruption in the UK is as bad as russia

lurker1976.bsky.social•85 days ago

Can you give examples?

lesleybeau.bsky.social•84 days ago

Ask where the 15 billion covid money went just Google it

lurker1976.bsky.social•84 days ago

They are investigating where it went as we speak, one thing I do know is....you don't know where it went. I will wait for the investigation to bring its results . Googling conspiracy theories isn't my thing.

jessewilson54.bsky.social•86 days ago

This tweet perpetuates a divisive and unfair narrative, blaming a specific group for alleged wrongdoing. The investigation should be based on evidence, not xenophobic stereotypes.

michelegrant.bsky.social•86 days ago

I fear you have misunderstood the story

reddave63.bsky.social•83 days ago

I was hoping for ex-Flying Squad Detectives to be leading these investigations and recovering taxpayers' money!

duojet.bsky.social•85 days ago

They desperately need to get some results from this. It can’t end up costing more than they recoup.

downhillrollin.bsky.social•86 days ago

I disagree with this tone. The pandemic has been a challenging time for many, and those struggling to make ends meet deserve support, not vilification.

michelegrant.bsky.social•86 days ago

Irony I hope

The obvious question is will it have the actual resources and powers to get to the truth or is it just window dressing to be left to dwindle out with a final report in a few years time saying yes there were some mistakes and money paid out unwisely, i.e. a whitewash

pottermuss10.bsky.social•86 days ago

Full time job this.

daverogersmmceo.bsky.social•85 days ago

And every penny recovered should be ring fenced to #socialcare, a massive win for the nation and Government

itsmybits.bsky.social•85 days ago

I predict the investigation will cost far more than it recovers. That’s how it usually works, isn’t it?

lurker1976.bsky.social•85 days ago

Is there another example to compare it with?

southernfriedtarot.bsky.social•86 days ago

Or you could have had an asshole president send your countries Covid Equipment to Putin! 🤬

kamalini.bsky.social•85 days ago

Staff complained that the NHS was making them use cheap bin liners. So the Tories went out and bought them expensive ones.

montaign3.bsky.social•85 days ago

Labour has attacked the poor for long enough. It's about time they had a go at the tax avoiding, scamming, greedy, selfish rich bastards! Labour my arse!

michelegrant.bsky.social•85 days ago

You didn't read it did you?

montaign3.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yup! Ex labour party member. Real labour would have attacked rich first on day one, not poor.
Labour my arse!

covaqe.bsky.social•85 days ago

You're definitely one of those people to believe a country can be changed within 2 months of the current government taking power..

montaign3.bsky.social•85 days ago

If I was elected leader on July 4th, I would have said one word on day one to let the poorest know someone was on their side st last.
"JUSTICE".
All I heard was "more pain"..from a LABOUR(?) gov?

bryandarragh4.bsky.social•85 days ago

Not one person will be prosecuted and no money will be paid back,cheers

lurker1976.bsky.social•85 days ago

Hopefully your crystal ball is faulty.

bryandarragh4.bsky.social•85 days ago

I hope so but?????

lurker1976.bsky.social•85 days ago

But? What do you mean?

bryandarragh4.bsky.social•85 days ago

Do you think one person will be charged?really

lurker1976.bsky.social•85 days ago

Why not? I dont think apathy is the answer, i will not believe that letting them get away with it is a good idea...hunt them down, and if found guilty , they should face the consequences. Really.

fraudbod.bsky.social•85 days ago

A fiver says it ends up being buried under a "to do" list

doggybarking.bsky.social•86 days ago

It’ll take over 3 years, the report will be argued over before public release for another year and, at the end, nothing will be done or anyone charged with and crime. This is Britain remember.
