This is from a single who got rich and has subsequently moved their business offshore for ‘privacy’ reasons so no-one can see how much money they made. Prior to COVID they made an annual profit of £800k; you can bet that they made a wee bit more on this deal. Not nearly enough has been down to expose the level of this scandal and/or to hold people accountable. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cll476qzm85o I don't understand why they had to destroy the equipment. It's not as if it had a use by date or anything. Fair enough, write off the money as a total waste if you like but couldn't the PPE be given free to places with deadly diseases such as Ebola, Dengue, Malaria etc. as it may just have been of some use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve probably kept it to sell on at a 100% mark up when bird flu hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of PPE does have an expiry date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
