Face masks given to NHS by Daily Mail campaign believed to have come from controversial Chinese labour programme

The Mail Force campaign has donated face masks - similar to the one in this picture - to the NHS and care workers

They were bought from Medwell Medical Products, a firm suspected of using Uighur Muslims in the labour scheme.A spokesperson for the charity said: "The masks in question represent 0.2% of the 42 million items of PPE we delivered to the UK. We are implacably opposed to forced labour of any kind."In April, amid reports of PPE shortages in the UK, the Daily Mail newspaper and owners General Trust launched the Mail Force charity, to source and provide equipment for NHS and care workers.

Just a few days after the charity was set up, it delivered 100,000 masks and 50,000 coveralls to NHS workers. At least some of the firm's masks have ended up at the NHS supply warehouse, based in Daventry, Northamptonshire, the centre from which the NHS supplies Britain's hospitals and care homes with PPE.

Believed? Maybe take time for proper investigation first?

Classic Daily Mail

BBCPolitics 😂😂😂😂Copying their political masters then Not called the Daily Fail for nothing 😂😂😂Which suckers paid for this ?

You mean to tell me the paper did one purchase and got that wrong!!!!. And the gov makes 10's of thousands and gets hammered lol

What did the BBC do to help the country during its hour of need, apart from snipe from the sidelines?

That will cheer up their rabid Tory fan base.

There is no need for jealousy of the UK to call the workforce at the factory in Xinjiang forced labour when Red China has successfully completed her targetted poverty alleviation program by the end of 2020…

英国没有必要出于嫉妒把新疆的工厂劳力称为强制劳工,因为红色中国在2020年底成功完成了其精准脱贫项目。

And your point is? Most of them in use probably did. Because are far too willing to use cheap chinese shite!

So what’s your point? What’s your message? Don’t use the masks?

I won't take anything coming from the daily fail

Now the media cares about Chinese slave labour

Where's Katie Hopkins...? Surely she must have an opinion..

Could the UK labour support programme not provide them.? Work from home. Or would the workers have sown fingers together to avoid work on Health and Safety grounds?

I thought nothing but covid mattered nowadays, as long as covid is contained who gives a shit who gets hurt, that’s the government line isn’t it?!

do we really care about slave labour ? BLM

Burn them and sack the procurement team

BBCPolitics Need to start looking at where items come from.The UK is quite capable of producing such items.

Given the dislike DailyMailUK has for Muslims in general - buying masks from concentration camps is bout right

how is a concentration camp, a labour scheme? Shame on the BBC and the non journalists it employs!

Forced Labour and Human Experimentation of viruses. Who knows?

Chinese slavery, oppression and progressive colonialism - Doesn’t fit the elitist narrative.

Yet we're all happy to wear clothes and trainers that were probably made the same way...

SophiaLipschul1 To I did read on the Chinese news and another news that ALL of our Masks, Sanitizers/etc com from China & children make them who R impoverished with dirty hands Maybe we should make them in USA? ty

BBCPolitics By 'labour programme' do you mean concentration camps?

You should be ashamed of yourself and reported for writing this!

Slave Trade

Made with loving care i assume.

So DailyMailUK this sounds lovely....

BBCPolitics Conspiracy theory number 9999. China started the virus to create work for and fund the Uygur Muslims concentration camps.

I thought the daily mail didn't like foreigners 🙁

And like anyone who has ever bought anything derived from China can trace its provenance? (China the bastion of workers rights?) Funny how morality has a price - usually cheap...

And your point is?

Wow. BBC and DailyMailUK really going for each other today

the use of the mask is important, you protect yourself and your neighbor ... it is not a time for revolt but for awareness ... everyone must do their part.

News given out by BBC is believed to have been biased but hey you're still allowed to spew your bile.

Why are you surprised ? Connect the dots .

Bought from the cheapest supplier. This isn’t a surprise.

It doesn’t matter if it saved just one person from dying from covid. Collateral damage is irrelevant.

Why do people wear these muzzles? Seriously, why are they so gullible?
