So if we hadn’t Brexited each fisherman would now have £17 milly in their bank? I’m not entirely sure if that would be a good thing or not. I know a few lads from Peterhead and I’d say a fair chunk of that would end up in the pockets of crack dealers and Dutch hookers.

I think his sums might be a bit off somewhere tbh.

    -si- Am i being too naive to think that this isn’t easily traceable and people wouldnt be held to account if it was happening to that extent?

    C’mon, Si. İ refuse to believe you’re being serious here. The best way to answer your own question would be to give an example of a Tory being held to account for anything in 2020, never mind for financial fuckery.

    So how the fuck are we 100s of millions down and this isn’t front page news or headline news on the tele?

    There was a report the other week but they basically pulled some spanish lad who acted as a broker to source the ppe for a british company, the broker made £20m+ for the connection and i think the company got a £100m order for ppe, the quality of which was questionable.

      So british politics is now at trump levels where we do whatever the fuck we want and front it out with the electorate and anyone brazen enough to question the goings on?

      -si-

      The £200000000000 quoted was for Brexit brother, not PPE.

        C_J No. Thats not what they are saying. It’s cost per head, not what they would have received. They are just mocking the fact that many Brexiteers where so concerned for the welfare of our fishermen, and the subsequent cost per head of Brexit for each said fisherman.

        Essentially, Brexit was rather an expensive outlay for so few people.

          Haha I know that mate. Amps posted another tweet before that with some lad listing literally hundreds of millions of ppe orders that were paid for by the British government but never delivered.

          That 200 figure is a bit higher than the hundreds of millions bracket also mate!

          Ah right.

          Been scratching my bonce for an hour or so!!!

          Amps Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining that mate 😉

          That’s a pretty big fucking number alright. How is the cost of Brexit actually calculated?

            Si, people with Tory ties get awarded huge contracts without having to tender for them and the profits are squirrelled away through off shore tax havens that are nigh on impossible to trace.

            He’s pinched that last line from Martin Tyler.

            Used to love a biscuit and raisin Yorkie.

            Reading the comments in poor dean’s thread makes me want to vomit. They’re all so woke, edgy, cool nowadays. Here’s me in my 40s, thinking back to how fucking great the 90s actually were. If only I’d been born at the end of that decade and knew literally nothing about it, imagine the woke, edgy and cool comments I could tweet to make me fit in.

            Poor dean’s parody account has been absolutely butchered Jeremy corbyn supporters. The cunts.

            The blokes only chocolate bar with the bird with the 🚫 through her is an absolute riot. Such an adorable little place you all live.

            The worst thing about Yorkie?

            Nestle, who make it, shrunk it in order to maximise revenue and tried to hoodwink the consumer by not telling them.

            Not on my watch.

              Smallman1 Nestle do far worse things than that Ed, but, er, well done for trying.
