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?

Entitlement often means you lack self awareness but hers is spectacular

Motti · 17/12/2023 17:17

Awful pair. Cynical bastards.

Cornettoninja · 17/12/2023 17:18

Usually shysters at least say ‘I can see why people are upset but <vague bullshit>’.

that one and her fella just carry right on with ‘we can’t see what we’ve done wrong’.

fuck her. And him.

How can anyone respect the government? They are all scum.

I saw a snippet

That was enough

Pair of jokers

InflatableSanta · 17/12/2023 17:22

The govt should be accountable too though. The whole thing is outrageous. They sure COVID as a chance to print money for their mates while telling us there wasn't enough money to educate our children,.pay our front line healthcare staff properly or keep vulnerable people safe

BIossomtoes · 17/12/2023 17:29

That was a real shout at the TV interview. Kunessberg’s face said it all. Another reason to vote Labour - they’ve pledged to retrieve the money.

bellac11 · 17/12/2023 17:30

They wont be able to retrieve the money

Why not? Barrowman’s not only admitted to having it but told us where it is.

There is probably much more to this case than we know yet so I really do hope we can get some of the money back through at least fines for misconduct. I’m assuming it is all in offshore trust funds to avoid tax as well. - so not only have they taken tax payers money they have avoided paying tax on profits.
There is some interesting reports from HSBC saying staff wanted to cut all ties with the couple as the movement of money would bring disrepute to the HSBC reputation. And we are expected to believe that two savvy business people didn’t know this was wrong? It’s outrageously ridiculous and I hope MM will at least feel some shame from the public outpouring of disregard for any kind of respect for her.

Appalling scunner of a woman. She can get to fuck, as far as I'm concerned, with all her equally corrupt Tory mates. Anyone who thinks the Conservative Party gives a shit about this country or its people needs to do some long hard thinking. They are all simply asset-stripping grifters.

What an embarrassment she is to all Scottish folk. Couldn't keep her nose out of the trough🙄

SwedishEdith · 17/12/2023 17:47

I thought Emily Maitlis's comment on this was spot on.

It’s all right, we know you’re not all like it. 😉

Vettrianofan · 17/12/2023 17:49

Right, what fannies voted YABU?!?

Northernsouloldies · 17/12/2023 17:53

Wasn't there a luxury yacht bought with some of the proceeds?. Hope all is recovered and proceeds of crime is looked at and they are charged.

MargaritaThyme · 17/12/2023 17:58

I used to admire Michelle Mone. She may not have come across as a likeable person, but she was very successful businesswoman and built a big innovative brand from scratch despite coming from a horrendously difficult background & having little formal education.
Having dumped husband number 1, this repulsive little gold-digger then upgraded to a vastly richer husband number 2. Exposed to the world of the super-rich she has evidently been corrupted by limitless greed. I hope she ends up in disgraced and jail, I hope Barrowman dumps her and I hope she ends up crawling back to the sink estate she crawled out of.

And how much of the PPE was unusable ? It’s an absolute scandal

Callipygion · 17/12/2023 18:10

What was Laura K like questioning them? Did she let them get away with piss poor excuses like she does for the Tory shitbags she interviews?

Her face was a picture. Check it out on iPlayer.

What crime is it that people want her to go to prison for? I'm not aware that making a profit is a crime?

And why are people so quick to believe what they read in the press?

Have you read the Sunday Times investigation?

Northernsouloldies · 17/12/2023 18:18

I think her ex husband was the brains of the business and she was the face of the business. The poor lassie from the East end of Glasgow story wore thin years ago. Once a mink always a mink. She's just a mink with money.

Not declaring business interests when contracts are awarded when you hold public office positions is illegal.
