Has anyone watched the BBC interview this morning?
AIBU to think there is no way the pair of them are convincing anyone that they have done nothing wrong?

That video keeps freezing - what’s going on?!

For some reason I am pissing myself with Nadine Dorries wading in asking questions like "What fucking idiot gave that women a peerage ?" (and she won't like the answer it was Lord Cameron....).

Hopefully this will be the end of the English honours system.

I think that might be the point. For some reason she thinks Cameron et al, but not Johnson, are posh boys who didn’t show her enough respect.

LOVED the way she denied she will benefit from the £60million profit… because Doug could divorce her or she could die before him 😂 I mean there are no words really, they must think we the public have fluff between the ears!

Something quite delicious watching rich, slimy people trying to worm out of serious situations and destroying themselves in the process🍿

I suspect she would change her tune on this if they actually divorced.

I'm just wondering, is this just a UK issue? (Lucky us!) Or did EU other countries have corruption by officials on this scale with regard to PPE? If so, why were we so unfortunate to have toerags in charge of procurement?

newnamethanks · 20/12/2023 22:21

Fraud will cover it. Millions of pounds worth of useless product.

Edinburghguy · 20/12/2023 22:30

Exactly - they will argue that they have technically not done anything wrong but everybody knows they’re morally bankrupt.

Cash from chaos. They were all at it.

Most were, yes. There were a handful of people trying to do the right thing but there were many more on the take. MM was one of the worse. Another woman who hit the press at the time was equally as awful. It's not just the profiteering but it's the bareface lying and the threats that went on that made it so much worse.

awaynboilyurheid · 21/12/2023 08:48

As people died the NHS on the brink of collapse , doctors almost on the point of choosing to decide who gets to live and who is left in a corridor to die, MM and her equally greedy other half seize the chance to make loads of money with shoddy goods they knew wouldn’t help.
Now she’s saying pitifully if my husband should die… tries to look sad but fails, …then I would benefit .Really not before that Michelle? not a penny of his income will come your way? What a strange relationship you must have
Then some shite tying herself in knots about it’s like if my dad brought home his pay packet to her mum , yes you and your family would benefit, not just if he died!
Layra K too soft on them, the money should be seized and returned she’s stolen that money from us all , as for David Cameron making her a peer proving himself once again a Prize idiot.

I'm struggling to see which other EU country was led by a similar bunch of useless grifters as ours was during the pandemic.

Merrymouse · 21/12/2023 08:54

Obviously she could be lying, but even if the money only goes to her children, she can spend money now, safe in the knowledge that her children will inherit millions.

Fraudornot · 21/12/2023 09:46

I’m sure part of the reason it has gone into a trust is so they can avoid tax again.

Fraudornot · 21/12/2023 09:46

The trust money would go to her and her children. So she would get some of it.

Just squeezed on to the today programme this morning - she took the publishers of a newspaper to court for saying she/they had used the money to buy a boat (the lady m aka the pandemic princess) they are now suing her for their legal expenses

Excellent. Hope they win.

They have though, they supplied PPE that was below the required standard. If you buy something that is not fit for purpose you would ask for your money back, wouldn’t you, they should be refunding all the money they took.

Merrymouse · 21/12/2023 12:19

I think there might be a dispute about whether the PPE was damaged in transit and who is responsible for this - but as MM is so clearly dishonest I wouldn’t take her word for it.

Yes, this is the New European.

The first article is really quite funny. MM disguising herself as a legal expert!

The second article explains why they are taking her to court. She threatened them with defamation suits whilst lying

Seeing her whinging on the BBC about how terrible and unfair it all is, she could just give the 60 million back, that't improve public opion of her. Or donate it to the NHS.

ArcaneWireless · 21/12/2023 13:01

That would be a start kendodd

I reckon I’ve more chance of losing 5 stone before Hogmanay though…

The problem with being rich is it’s very very expensive (or so I understand from Succession)

newnamethanks · 21/12/2023 14:44

Did 👑 Mone once flog undies from a market stall? She seems to think that if she shouts loud and long enough that will be sufficient to crush any opposition. Doing her own threatening in the guise of being her 'in-house legal team' is not on when you're a Peer of the Realm. Have some class, woman, pay a lawyer to do it for you.

Oh dear Oscar ...

Fieldofbrokenpromises · 21/12/2023 17:18

Finally got chance to see this interview; it was even worse than I expected.
Mone and Barrowman apparently don't like publicity or press intrusion.

Don't take our money and pose on the fucking yacht you bought with it then.
