Cashing In On Covid: The Putrid Stench Of Conservative Corruption

Image
Barely a day goes by without hearing or reading about the latest multi-million Pound Covid-19 related contract being gifted to a Tory donor, or one of Dominic Cummings friends from the Vote Leave cabal, and they’re usually awarded without any tendering process, in the name of Covid.  In short, the government have the power to dish out huge contracts, without real scrutiny, to the benefit of their pals. The coronavirus crisis has provided the government with the opportunity to use emergency laws as a cover for handing out unimaginable amounts of money to their friends. That’s YOUR money. Nice work if you can get it.  This is blatant corruption, happening right under our noses. Hundreds of millions is being siphoned out of the public purse, by the elite, and at the same time, nurses are having to take to the streets to demand a pay rise.

Some of you might be proud of the Queen and all of the pomp and ceremony that comes with it. That’s not my thing. I’m not sure about my own British pride. We talk about our welcoming and diverse nature, yet some sicko readers of the Daily Mail take pleasure in the drowning of a refugee seeking sanctuary. I can’t remember a time when our island has been overly welcoming of anyone with a different colour skin to them, and I’m in my forties.  Perhaps I’ve lived in the wrong part of the country. Some parts of the country, seem to be welcoming to anyone from anywhere, but this isn’t a common theme. Liverpool, for example, is about as near to the welcoming friendly Britain you hear about. Scotland seems much the same.  Cruel Britannia? Yes, absolutely.  When the finger-pointing politicians and hatemongering tabloids work together it means t
