  1. Wait, they seriously have Gary Neville and that dull dude from Diary on a CEO on the show now?

  2. A literal marketing exec claimed that doctors told her there was no cure for her condition, so she found one herself and turned it into a product.

    …and 100% of them offered her funding.

    I think I have some volcano insurance to pitch them next week.

  3. this seems dodgy as hell, in the past the “dragons” have torn unproven medical claims to pieces.

  4. She said the kits cost £3 to make and she flogs them for £30. That’s a lovely £27 profit she’s taking from people who are often too ill to work and sometimes too ill to leave their bed, based on the fact she “believes” it worked for her. Sod off, love.

  5. Dragons Den is awful. The yank one (shark tank) is better, they seem less tolerant of this kind of shite and not having that idiot Steven Bartlett on the panel is a plus

  6. How did this even get to air.

    Like surely during editing somebody would have flagged this up.

  7. I made a post about exactly this on a certain other sub, which was removed as it “wasn’t relatable to the wider British public.” Seems like it is.

  8. Dragons den is all about investing in the next online fad now, it’ll make money but my god it’s a load of shite.
