From the establishment and corrupt government to rip-off Britain the country is rife with dishonest and desperate people

Not looking at Tory donors or mates of Tory mps thou

And yet they don't go after the PPE fraudsters? Weird that eh, or perhaps he just couldn't afford an expensive lawyer to get him off, or perhaps didn't have the staff to blame and deny fraud as it was somone else who signed the paperwork, come on! small fish...

Well, it all went according to the plan. Nation is suffering to fill that pot again. Fake and bogus democratic system, just a facade

What about the 100's of firms set up by members of the cabinet?

Tory government: Don't worry about it.

On the other hand my company, and many others I know of, would have gone to the wall without it.

Sunak's fraud scheme we're paying for that too

mikegalsworthy PorscheGB had more than one customer blatantly announce they were buying cars with their £50k covid money AND that the government would never ask for it back…..Porsche can’t be the only ones with stories like this 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you think this is bad you should see the contracts the govt gave out to their “mates” during the Covid crisis. Companies who’d never supplied Ppe before won multi million pound contracts. Get copies of Private Eye where their journos cover this.

mikegalsworthy Lol, they should try looking for the ones in the millions, won’t tho ad it’s almost certainly Tory donors.

This bloody cost of lockdown crisis strikes again… all made possible by the BBC and alike

And this is why we now have the correct name Cost of Covid Crisis Thanks to the thousands of people that took advantage of help!

So has he paid the 25k back?

It's enough to make you swear.

Suspended sentence which essentially is completely let off. £25,000 for a few hours work that he doesn't have to repay. Then they wonder why con artists are so prevalent in the UK Anyone would take £25,000 of they knew they'd get away with it. Disgusting.

incompetent government fail to carry out correct vetting and due diligence

Well, who knew? The government should be chasing all the companies that fraudulently claimed and get it back with massive interest.

In 'zero-COVID' China, 1 case locks down Peking UniversityChinese authorities locked down a major university in Beijing after finding one COVID-19 case as they stick to a “zero-COVID” policy. Peking University said that students and faculty were not allowed to leave the grounds unless necessary. Just how Democrats wanted the US to react to COVID. Sins of dictatorship. It’s funny how close democrat values align with Chinese authoritarianism… draconian lockdowns, don’t allow their people weapons except for the elite favoring censorship of differing opinions etc. if only they knew how authoritarian they’ve become.
