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?

Is there a government petition linked to this. I can only find old ones - one to stop MM’s peerage ( thrown out, obviously - in hindsight….).

@Amana I haven’t seen one but would happily sign one

As so much was lost in waste, fraud and flawed contracts, I hope Labour will appoint a Covid commissioner and try to return this money to where it can be spent to make a difference. Anyone who acted fraudulently during the pandemic needs to be held accountable.

The pair of them disgust me. Using the VIP lane to grab 2 contracts, husband set up a brand new company to get useless ppi in from abroad. Profit over £60,000,000 when established ppi companies were ignored and not given contracts.

Then lies and lies again. The money is in a trust fund for their children so they claim they didn't benefit.

They are vile disgusting individuals, they think they did nothing wrong. They think they are victims. They used lawyers to shut people up whilst they lied and profiteering. Vile greedy despicable pair. He is worth billions and she over £120 million already, when will they have enough money?

Prison.

Iknewbeforeithappened · 18/12/2023 10:26

They are far from the only ones though. The whole lot of them, through lies or sheer incompetence squandered/ pocketed an absolute fortune.

This morning....

A Conservative minister has said he hopes his former colleague Michelle Mone “sees sense” and does not return to the Lords after Mone admitted she lied in denying involvement with a company that held UK government PPE deals during the Covid pandemic. The comments by Lord Callanan, the energy efficiency minister, heap further pressure on Mone, who had repeatedly denied a connection to PPE Medpro, which made millions of pounds in profits during the pandemic.

She had it all. She was a Baroness, new marriage, successful business woman, wealth beyond what we can imagine, and the pair of them threw it all away through sheer greed. And profiteering off the great british public.

BigBouncyBaubles · 18/12/2023 10:33

They're both trash. Scummy trash.

I am sick to the back teeth of these corrupt lying Tory scumbags, Mone, Johnson, Sunak, Braverman the bloody lot of them. Corrupt as they come, all of them.
How the hell have we allowed ourselves as a country to have these people in charge? The British public has been brainwashed

Because apologists use the 'it would be worse under Labour' argument idiots won't even let labour try. Corruption in the UK government is appalling. The levels of greed and self serving corruption.
Yet turkeys keep on voting for the government who award multi million pound contracts to vip lane mates. No wonder they feel untouchable and that they have done nothing wrong.

Dido Harding? Nobody with any sense would give any sort of task to that woman. From what I have heard there was almost no contact tracing done. The money should have gone to existing public health departments.
Covid testing at universities. I know several students who were sent "results" when they had queued so long they gave up and went back to their rooms. Tax payers paid for those tests that weren't done. I bet that my friends' kids weren't the only ones.

TheCryptozoologist · 18/12/2023 10:49

her face looked very different, must have spent some of the money on botox, fillers, etc

She's a grifter and a scammer, always has been.

She admitted lying on her CV to get her first job and hasn't stopped lying since.

https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23151671.michelle-mone-rise-fall-scotlands-bra-queen/

I always thought she was a successful businesswoman however didn't realise how much was spin, pr, fake, and corruption.

TheCryptozoologist · 18/12/2023 11:07

Cannot stand her since she was on Qvc selling a range of fake diamond jewellery that was a copy of her own stuff, all she did was brag and brag about how big and expensive her diamonds were and that they were REAL, whereas she was trying to sell her tat to us poor plebs, had to turn her off🙄

vulgar woman

She is a complete oik. She is the ideal typical example of the saying 'money doesn't buy class'.

Eeeew. That might be worst thing I’ve heard about her.

How do people spend that sort of money? Can only have so many meals a day.
Unless for them the joy is just looking at the figures of the cash they have gained for doing very little

BigBouncyBaubles · 18/12/2023 11:51

gawditswindy · 17/12/2023 21:31

She fucking disgusts me. Parasite. She comes from the East End of Glasgow - one of the most desperately poor areas in the country - and has no issue about screwing over the public.

I can only imagine what they think of here there now!

To be fair, from the look of him he eats more than three meals a day!!😆

MrsSkylerWhite · 18/12/2023 11:52

So angry, had to switch off. She still doesn’t think that “there’s a case to answer”? FFS.

As Brian Cox simply said, “you don’t lie”. Seems to be a thing of the past.

This another fucking grifter & barely a word said about her.
we had excellent local public health departments before the corrupt & inept government decimated those services Harding is another one with links throughout the Tory party.

So many of these vultures need putting in prison for the rest of their fucking lives, including the MPs who I am positive arranged these contracts for favour or money. But it won't happen will it, us plebs will be lucky if she gets her peerage revoked. Our country is such a corrupt shithole, it's laughable to even call it a democracy at this point.

And I know this is being mildly covered but our media is basically toothless and pretty sympathetic to these types. It'll be off the headlines soon enough with hope the British public can get distracted soon enough by something like Tommy Robinson being shoved in Dancing on Ice.

Yep. The government are praying something they can scream ‘woke’ at happens, and all will be forgotten. Saw a newspaper front page in the shop this morning hailing ‘Esther’s war on woke!’ If people fall for this, they deserve all they get.

Christmascountdownpanic · 18/12/2023 12:14

I see the husband is being persued through the Spanish courts. Do they think guidelines, morals, the law, ethics, and telling the truth doesn't apply to them?

CeciliaMars · 18/12/2023 12:19

I've just signed this to get her expelled from the House of Lords:
https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/expel-michelle-mone-lords-petition
Anyone who thinks lying to the media and therefore the public, when literally getting paid for the rest of her life to represent the public, has no place in office.

Signed too.

MrsSkylerWhite · 18/12/2023 12:31

Thanks for that, @CeciliaMars . Will share it around.
