The Real Financial Fraud Is Much Higher Up


Two men sitting on either side of a table. One has a plate with one cookie on it, and the other has none. In the middle is a man with a mound of cookies leaning towards the man with one and saying:  ‘Careful mate, that foreigner wants your cookie’.
It is a simple drawing and was used at the time of Brexit to show how the right wing were trying to divide us by the rich telling the poor that the problem was the even poorer but it sums up nicely how the very rich are the actual problem.
Benefit cheats and immigrants getting £49 a week are being held up as the problem for the economic woes of the nation but the problem is much higher up which segue's us nicely to bra baroness Michelle Mone who was found guilty this week of providing faulty PPE equipment and having to repay the £122 million she received in contracts through the VIP Lane introduced by the Conservatives during the pandemic.
As thousands of companies bid for contracts to fill the UK’s depleted PPE stockpile, the VIP lane gave high priority to people with political connections and in June 2020 the government were approached by PPE Medpro, a newly formed company, and awards two contracts to supply PPE.
Mone, pictured on her luxury yacht Michelle during the pandemic, emphatically denied that they were involved with the company and said anyone saying they were was 'inaccurate, misleading and defamatory' and 'PPE Medpro was not awarded the contract because of company or personal connections to the UK government or the Conservative party.'
Undeterred, journalists continued to dig and found that it was Mone who introduced PPE Medpro to her fellow Tory peers although she continued to deny it and was based on 'speculation and not based on accuracy”.
The National Crime Agency then became involved and said it was investigating into 'suspected criminal offences committed in the procurement of PPE contracts by PPE Medpro'.
The government sued PPE Medpro for the full £122m it paid for the rejected PPE and after three years of denials, Mone first acknowledged that they were actually involved with the company and after the ruling, Mone admitted that she lied to the press when she repeatedly denied involvement in the company and did so to protect her family from press attention.
The victim card is now being employed full time, saying that the Government has a vendetta against her rather than admitting that she jostled her way into a grotesque cash bonanza and then boasted about helping the nation while profiteering with shoddy, unusable protective Equipment but she isn't the only one, many, many of the Conservative Party friends and family fleeced the country from the rush to get PPE equiment during the pandemic, £10bn spent on wasted unusable PPE, most to companies of donors and firms with financial ties to the Tory Party.
For context that is 204,081,633 immigrants on £49 per day or almost double the total disability benefit fraud in a year which you should remember next time the Government scapegoat immigrants or those on benefits, the real financial fraud comes much higher up the chain and it is them with more cookies than you could ever own.
