Yep, as time goes by the real reasons for lockdown will become apparent. Funny how people were called loonies 2 years ago for saying things like this, but all are slowly been proved right. Time for some major apologising and humble pie from a lot of people.
And if its found that they were awarded due to corruption ( as im sure many were) those responsible should be jailed and those in receipt of these contracts should be jailed and all their assets stripped from them.
But cant write off the debt owed by the poorest of our society because of covid.
Same as everything COVID related, good money after bad and most of it filthy.
