Michelle & Doug desperate to rehabilitate their image and Mark appears happy to help. Some people gave their all for this country during the pandemic and others saw it as an opportunity to make a lot of money. Awful people. No sympathy from me.
If they really wanted to help an Introduction to manufacturers to Government would have been enough. Instead they put themselves in the middle of the transaction so that can make money out of adversity. So any claim they have on doing the right thing is all bullshit. You Tube should clearly mark the whole "Documentary" as an infomercial. This needs to be at the start not at the end. I wasted my time. May have bill the Producer.
@@wdcruzexactly right. Mones husband could have even acted as a broker and taken a small commission. Mone and Barrowman are the same vermin as those who price gouged their own country for essential services during world war 2.
So it's taken Mone and her legal team nigh on a year to come up with this crock. I wouldn't trust Mone as far as I can spit. I can't spit very far because I consider spitting both uncouth and unhygienic.
So, they both lied, and lied and lied, repeatedly, that PPE Medpro was not connected to them. She lobbied for a company not yet formed, to get contracts for PPE and her and her husband made over 35% Net Profit from a pandemic. £69m paid clear of any corporation or other taxes. She is still lying today and sadly the entire Tory VIP lane was a sham, to fill the pockets of Tory donors and VIPs. They were one of the worst, as their product was not fit for use. Cheap Chinese crap!
Give her an Oscar !!! This is a disgrace and of course she has to hark back to the “I was a poor girl from the east end of glasgow” story. She is playing the victim and you can tell he is faking it. She was a leading manufacturer - reality is Ultimo went down the drain and left a wake of many unhappy people in the process. This is a program funded by them and therefore is their propaganda. Imagine stating “I did not know that VIP lane existed” is shameful. Also to state she’s uncomfortable doing an interview - that will be the first. Everyone will come to their own conclusions, I know mine.
60 minutes of defending the Mones - paid for by the Mones, followed by 10 minutes of the Baroness spouting guilty drivel about mental health problems and - bizarrely - claims of autism and dyslexia. So much for impartial investigative reporting; it seems the gravy train continues to pay out for the Baroness and her family. Just sickly sweet, soft investigation, desperately trying to shift the focal point from the obviously guilty party; PPE MedPro - and by association, the Baroness.
Correct. Whenever someone in her position breaks the law it’s all about he said she said, mental health, emails, texts etc. I wonder if they used that tape as leverage to get the govt to drop the case and when it failed decided to make this
And please medpro paid for the interview it says at the end . So a sneaky slap to the face at the end. As medpro,s moneys is from the public taxes 😂 you couldn't make it up
To be fair I think she must suffer from autism. Imagine taking all that money from the public and thinking it’s a normal thing to show off your yacht and ski trips. Even animals have empathy amongst each other, for example in wolf packs but she just cares about herself. Very very odd behaviour
A complete joke and an insult to the intelligence of the public who have been ripped off . You can say what you want, or dress it up with a fancy presentation, but the fact remains , the public were scammed and robbed . These people should be locked up. This pathetic attempt at justification fools no one.
Possibly the most one sided biased piece of investigative journalism ever made... And not one mention of how much money they actually made only a narrative of we earned it, we will keep it
so true. I admired his work, but now I have to question that if he would so readily accept money to defend the indefensible, what else has he done?@@XENUGOLFCLUB
I was hoping to see Mone explain how £29 million of PPE Medpro money was funnelled through to her via various HSBC accounts. And to confirm or deny that her children supposedly purchased four properties in Glasgow after receipt of that money. Maybe PPE Medpro edited those bits out, or Mark simply forgot to mention them.
Dear bluegrid it is uplifting to read comments like yours.I had to wear al that PPE in the hospital like thousands of other care staff and NHS and it was all cheap stuff .All crap may I say ripped as soon as you touch it. How insulting these interviews towards the British public ..Mone needs yo be thrown out of the Lords asap..
They funded this themselves under PPE MEDPRO. It was down to them trying to hire 2 PR companies who specialise in “reputation washing” who refused to take them on as their reputations was too toxic. So they did this themselves under the disguise of this “independent investigation”
Turns out he was working with Mone and her husband to identify the person who leaked to journalists that Mone was lying through her teeth. His dealings just get more interesting.
Utterly disgusting lies - by a useless woman who sold bras but who is now a CONservative peer (wonder how that happened) living the life of luxury from the proceeds of crime.The entire episode is just breathtakingly vile and absolutely NO repercussions for this parasitic, thief of a criminal. Should be imprisoned for a long long time.
The Ultimo bra business was her ex husband’s doing. He was the skilled businessman and her name was just attached on companies house. Somehow she’s been lauded as a great businesswoman when really she’s nothing of the sort. And she got her peerage off the back of that. Absolute joke of a system and of a woman. Then she takes 200 million for polythene PPE gowns that they forgot to put holes in for the head and arms to go through. Laughable. Then she shows off her expensive yacht to rub it in. Until she gives that money back to the public she’ll never be forgiven
The Great Train Robbers were given thirty years apiece back in the day. This is fraud on a massive scale and Mone and Barrowman are not even being given a slap on the back of their hands. Unbelievable.
Mone should be in jail. This is a story of corruption, lies, and greed. All while others were risking their own lives and doing their best to save other lives for little money in awful conditions. Mone saw this as an opportunity to get richer. Tell it all to the judge. You can't PR your way out of this. Shameful that you'd try.
You've well earned your thirty pieces of silver Mark..... As for Mone, like most others I'll be happy when she's paid back every last penny & served an appropriate sentence in prison.
When her corruption came out, she was lazing on a boat that was taken from a Russian Oligarch that she paid for with the profit she gained from PPE Medpro. An absolute disgrace to Scotland and should be jailed.
She didn`t make a mistake, it was a blatant lie. Her bra company didn`t make a profit , (creative accounting) and her husband is as dodgy as they come. But the Tories will find no wrongdoing to save them embarrassment.
Well, I hope Lady Moan and her gangster husband paid you well for this, Mark. Hilarious. The funny thing is that she probably will be made a scapegoat, but not because she's innocent and others are guilty. It's because, despite her thinking she'd made it into the elite by getting ennobled for her aggressive lies on behalf of the UK during the Scottish independence campaign, she's just scum to them. She'll never, ever be accepted as she's just some upstart from the colonies, and she's always been too stupid and narcissistic to see this. She sold her soul for the UK establishment, and the UK establishment will absolutely sell her soul to protect itself. Her only option is to tell all she knows and take down some others with her
100%. Same with the likes of Jonathan Gullis and lee Anderson and to a certain degree Tories of colour. They believe they're accepted. When in reality, the likes of Mogg and the old Etonians wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire
What utter rubbish. They've only dug a bigger hole for themselves. Personally, I don't want them to return the excessive profits, I don't want them doing community service, I don't want a suspended sentence. I want them to do porridge....
The claim they had no idea about day to day operations of a company they own is utterly reprehensible. Nothing but lies and drivel from beginning to end.
Funny how it’s not mentioned until the very end that this was funded by PPE Medpro. This isn’t investigative journalism, this is a puff piece for Mone to paint herself as a victim.
It was their “we will do it ourselves” after 2 PR companies who specialise in reputation washing refused to take them on as their reputations were way too toxic
I hope you've been paid well for this propaganda as your reputation will be irreparably damaged over this , but just remember that the money they used to pay you was probably the same money that was scammed from us taxpayers. I know you did your best, but no amount of video magic can stop guilty people looking guilty. Let's hope both of them are in a prison cell before too long and their assets seized.
Mone now says: “What I did say to them was I’m not a shareholder, which is true, I’m not a director, which is true, I’m not financially benefiting directly, which is true. But I didn’t want to start speaking to the press about it and I didn’t want the pain for my family." The film, released on RUclips, fails to properly grill either Mone or Barrowman on how much they personally made from the profits of PPE Medpro. It has been reported that bank accounts and trusts linked to Barrowman received £65m in profits from the PPE deal in September 2020 and then transferred £29m to a trust set up to benefit Mone and her children the following month. "We wanted to help and do our bit for the NHS" .... and make £65 Mil by ripping off the NHS for ourselves.
She's an arrogant liar & should be stripped of her title, thrown out of the Lord's. AND made to pay a massive fine. Fraud at its worst, anyone else would be jailed. 😡🤬
How someone managed pip make Hancock and Johnson to the title of worst offence under covid is impressive. If Mone(y) avoids jail that will be another travesty
The saddest thing about this is that Michelle should be imprisoned for her crimes but will never see the inside of a prison. We just have to hope Karma is real and there's a very special place lined up in hell for these grifters,
Mark Williams-Thomas - do you understand the value of credibility and legacy? Whatever they paid you won't matter when we next see your name appear on Channel 4 or Netflix. You have just cancelled yourself, what an absolutely foolish piece of work this was!
Do feel you're fighting against the current on this one, everyone wants to see you questioned under oath by a KC with evidence and facts to hand and see how you explain your actions.
Just came to join everyone else calling for jail time 👍 (imagine being out of touch enough to think that this video would do anything other than remind the public she abused her position during a period of national crisis then lied about it, or just as bad, forgot about it as she claims)
This woman lied and lied and lied. She threatened reporters with being sued when she thought she might be discovered and now she is hiding behind the excuse of trying to protect her family - this is complete rubbish. She put people's lives at risk through substandard PPE - she should go to jail.
Denial of involvement in a major Scam should come with Serious implications for anyone, but for a person in such a senior trusted position can only result in a Considerable Fine along with a custodial sentence. We hear about such activity on the shady backs streets of our cities, not within the walls of parliament & in the house of lords.
For many months Mone was insisting she was not involved with MedPro. How come Mark did not ask why the story changed? She also insisted for a long while that she did not benefit personally, but her own bank provided a ca. £30 million (!?!) transfer to her own / family's accounts.
I thought that when a RUclips Video was being paid for it had to be made clear both in the description and at the start of the video. Not clearly pointing out that the video is paid for by PPE Medpro is just dodgy
"Lawyers for Mone, who ran a lingerie company before David Cameron made her a member of the House of Lords, have always said she “was not connected to PPE Medpro in any capacity”. They also said she had no “association” with PPE Medpro, and “never had any role or function in PPE Medpro, nor in the process by which contracts were awarded” to the company."
Despite being the one who recommended them and who profited from the contract. Buying a luxury yacht and her kids buying property. Must be nice to have blood money.
If they just wanted to help, why did they make 60 million profit out of the situation. They are making out they are the victims. When they both have profited from this.
I stopped watchimg halfway through, this is not an interview, it's a promotinal video... ! What a joke ... ! Help me save my reputation...! Yes its not your money .. its the tax payers !
I paid over £200K in personal and CT Tax last year and about the same the last 10yrs,a good part of that went to a Dennistoun Charlatan,she has never been a success,Ultimo was a failure,David Cameron saved her,she would have been back selling drinks if it wasn’t for Cameron.Utter opportunism fuelled by no morals.
Utterly bizarre. Love it that Mone and her sugar daddy genuinely believed this was going to earn them sympathy. That hack's finished as a credible journalist 😁
She claims her mental health is "affected". Yeah, there is a word for that it is called conscious, most of us realize it is bad to do immoral things because it makes us feel bad afterward at a young age. However apparent some people do not and manage to find their way into positions of power, and still do not manage to learn this lesson.
I'm not an angry person she says. Hmmm! Angry enough to pay for a puff piece of propaganda. You lied when talking to the press. No I made an error when talking to the press. Normal people call that lying to the press.
Mark Williams-Thomas, did they also give you a paid PR film contract regarding the Spanish Government charges of fraud? “The indictment calls for them to reimburse B3 Cable to the tune of €6.3m (£5.5m) and the Spanish Treasury €508,590 (£443,902).” The Spanish government case will be heard in Spring 2024. Prosecutors have confirmed they will be seeking jail time for the seven businessmen if they can prove the cases against them next year. No wonder Mone is worried...
The timing of this is so suspicious & how dare they insult the public with these fake tears & complete lies. They need to start with returning our money.
No sympathy at all. They both think they did the right thing because of words in a contract and because other people did the same. Normal people see greedy profiteering from the pandemic, they see normal business. The fact that the PPE was crap just makes it worse.
“Maybe there’s a reason why we’ve gone through it, so that we can help others that have maybe been in the same position as us that don’t have a voice” 🤣 Or maybe it’s because you helped PPE medpro get contracts for millions of pounds worth of PPE and then got a huge kickback.
Mark that is a pretty poor average cost calculation. PPE Medpro were contracts toward the end of contracts awarded for masks & gowns. Comparing prices to contracts awarded in April/May is disingenuous.
It's clearly deliberate obfuscation regarding the costing and the certifications. Also the thing about the small percentage of gowns and masks tested is most likely due to the fact that most of them were deemed unusable early on and sent to be destroyed.
@@johnners911 From what I recall most of the unsuitable equipment supplied by companies recommended by Tories, has never been destroyed. Instead it is stored at tax payer's expensive in warehouses owned by another rich Tory (The name escapes me right now)
That wouldn't surprise me at all. I could even believe it was planned that way. I did hear a figure of £700,000 per day for storage, although that was a while ago. As regards their claim of the testing data being from a tiny sample, I meant that it was probably taken from whatever shipment(s) DHAC accepted before realising it was all useless. Barrowmoney and Moan are undoubtedly trying to manipulate the stats of their own failures to save their skins. @@ptonpc
The public didn’t know of your involvement because you lied to them!!! Why didn’t you admit your link to Medpro at the beginning? I hope you pay back the money and then you and Mark should go to jail for a very long time!
A wonderful, glossy PR job for Douglas and Michelle paid for by his company PPE Medpro (though I wonder why director Sam Morter had to use the silly background music). After seventy minutes of this, all I want to know is how much of taxpayers' money was profit for their company? Of course, other suppliers to the NHS during the pandemic should be investigated. Many took advantage of the procurement chaos in Whitehall and made millions after millions in profit.
"Shes not in a good place mentality now", financially shes laughng at us all...to the tune of £29Mil into her family trust fund. Couldn't make this 5hit up !
Reading through the comments, your piece has not been received well at all Mark. If anything it comes across as opinionated rather than factual, also it’s more of a deflection tool for Mone & Barrowman , trying to make them out as scapegoats and victims . Surely the first question put to these two should have been “ why did you deny having anything to do with Medpro , publicly and also through three sets of Solicitors “. This isn’t an Investigative piece , it’s a sycophantic storyline trying to muddy the waters .
What also comes over strong is people with zero sector experience getting contracts that involved medical specifications and no idea what they mean while well established companies offering their stock AT NORMAL PRICES could not get their calls returned and had to end up selling their stock to off shore governments. This was exacerbated by Johnson refusing to join a EU led procurement effort to lever availability and competitive costing.
You made an error when the press enquired, yet you sent them a cease and detist letter through your lawyers every time they ask questions of facts from you. Now, you regret not telling the truth to the press because they caught you out for telling a lie.
Wow I will certainly look at Mark Williams-Thomas' work differently from now on. His outcome is determined by who pays him & not whether they took advantage of price gouging during a pandemic. He stated the average price paid for a mask was 51p but where this "fact" comes from is dubious. The average is taken between April & May where he has likely "cherry picked" the "average". I bought these same specification masks myself in 2020 and paid around 31p per mask so I know that there were options available. At a volume of 210 million the 30% mark-up was daylight robbery. They were middle men in this transaction and took the tax payers to the cleaners. Meanwhile Doug "tax resident" on the Isle of Man complaining why the public shouldn't be reading about this in the newspapers.
She says how could they not know I was involved yet denied she was involved. Jail time. Living a life of luxury from stealing tax payers money at the height of a National crisis.

"We wanted to help and do our bit for the NHS" .... and make £65 Mil by ripping off the NHS for ourselves.
Spot on all them lies have taken its toll on her hooter 😂
@@Alberkidd😂👍
She's an arrogant liar & should be stripped of her title, thrown out of the Lord's. AND made to pay a massive fine. Fraud at its worst, anyone else would be jailed. 😡🤬
Then Jailed !
I hope they paid you enough money to never work again. Whatever credibility you had just vanished. Enjoy the money Mark.
judas springs to mind
She should be in jail and banned from ever entering the UK. The most horrific woman of all time
So right
Nah, that was Margaret Thatcher.
Nah, that was Margaret Thatcher.
How someone managed pip make Hancock and Johnson to the title of worst offence under covid is impressive. If Mone(y) avoids jail that will be another travesty
Ruining any reputation you had as an investigator by involving yourself with this pair.
Or maybe just trying to get to the truth. Thats his job!
He's been paid by Mone and her husband to make this. Where do you think his loyalties lie?
Does he actually tell you he's being paid or have you just made that bit up?@@clairwoodward3812
are you for real@@grahambird3315
She did not "make a mistake"; she lied.
She is from Glasgow's East End, it's in her blood.
The mistake was being found out.

The saddest thing about this is that Michelle should be imprisoned for her crimes but will never see the inside of a prison. We just have to hope Karma is real and there's a very special place lined up in hell for these grifters,
Absolute comedy gold. Michelle Mone with tears "I can't do this today". Yeah... let's do it tomorrow once I've had my hair done.
"Can't do this today, I'm defrauding children's charities all day"
Funny she was wearing the same clothes the next day
Almost like both bits were shot on thr same day
"I will never be part of the establishment" - Baroness Mone 🤣
Mark Williams-Thomas - do you understand the value of credibility and legacy? Whatever they paid you won't matter when we next see your name appear on Channel 4 or Netflix. You have just cancelled yourself, what an absolutely foolish piece of work this was!
This video is a disgrace and Mone and her husband should be in prison.
A definition of client journalism.
Dougie and Mone are as innocent as OJ and Jack the Ripper. Jack the Ripper is incidentally one of the trust beneficiaries of Dougie's trusts.
I’m dyslexic but still understand what’s right or wrong…she’s a millionaire she knows what she’s doing
I'm not sure your dyslexia has to say with it
@@eezablade did you listen to her interview
Always looked up to Mark. His previous work was full of impartiality. Hope what he was paid was worth losing all trust and public confidence.
The fact she's not in prison is a stain on our country.
Pig in knickers. Driven by greed and self interest. Treated her staff like shit. Hope she rots in jail.
what a disgusting and personal comment.
Do feel you're fighting against the current on this one, everyone wants to see you questioned under oath by a KC with evidence and facts to hand and see how you explain your actions.
Won't happen. Friends in high places and implicated
She’s a proven liar. She doesn’t care. She’s got her money and loves it.
Just came to join everyone else calling for jail time 👍 (imagine being out of touch enough to think that this video would do anything other than remind the public she abused her position during a period of national crisis then lied about it, or just as bad, forgot about it as she claims)
Self confessed liar living in a tax haven. Just pay the money back!
Lets not forget that if some leak had not occurred at HSBC then they would have carried on denying any connection or making any money.
Oh dear Mark. The fee better have been worth it.
Barrowman has blood on his hands. Two suicides linked to his company AML Ltd and victims of the vicious loan charge. It’s disgusting
PAY THE £29 MILLION BACK !
This woman lied and lied and lied. She threatened reporters with being sued when she thought she might be discovered and now she is hiding behind the excuse of trying to protect her family - this is complete rubbish. She put people's lives at risk through substandard PPE - she should go to jail.
The Proceeds of Crime Act needs to be invoked in the strongest way possible here.
Damn right.
Denial of involvement in a major Scam should come with Serious implications for anyone, but for a person in such a senior trusted position can only result in a Considerable Fine along with a custodial sentence.
We hear about such activity on the shady backs streets of our cities, not within the walls of parliament & in the house of lords.
Taxpayers want money back now!
For many months Mone was insisting she was not involved with MedPro. How come Mark did not ask why the story changed? She also insisted for a long while that she did not benefit personally, but her own bank provided a ca. £30 million (!?!) transfer to her own / family's accounts.
Competitive price on gowns! I have seen another tender that was £21 million cheaper (they had already supplied gowns). The timings were June 2020.
I thought that when a RUclips Video was being paid for it had to be made clear both in the description and at the start of the video. Not clearly pointing out that the video is paid for by PPE Medpro is just dodgy
Either pay back the money you stole or tell your story to a judge.
No.
I want BOTH.
"Lawyers for Mone, who ran a lingerie company before David Cameron made her a member of the House of Lords, have always said she “was not connected to PPE Medpro in any capacity”. They also said she had no “association” with PPE Medpro, and “never had any role or function in PPE Medpro, nor in the process by which contracts were awarded” to the company."
Despite being the one who recommended them and who profited from the contract. Buying a luxury yacht and her kids buying property. Must be nice to have blood money.
Mone didn’t make “an error”. She made a conscious decision to lie to protect herself from any public/press scrutiny.
Her error was to decide to lie
@@davidhardaker192*sellout her dignity and patriotism for a few pieces of silver.
@@davidhardaker192 she has told a number of whoppers in her career
There should be a VIP lane to Belmarsh. Where the SPIVS should be going.
If they just wanted to help, why did they make 60 million profit out of the situation. They are making out they are the victims. When they both have profited from this.
Are we meant to feel sorry for them?? What aload of pity me BS.
The most ill-conceived interview since Prince Andrew.
Just over 900 comments and none positive. I think Lady Moan you have shot yourself in the foot. Pay back the money!
I stopped watchimg halfway through, this is not an interview, it's a promotinal video... ! What a joke ... ! Help me save my reputation...! Yes its not your money .. its the tax payers !
You should keep watching. The interview with her is priceless. Absolutely shameless.
I paid over £200K in personal and CT Tax last year and about the same the last 10yrs,a good part of that went to a Dennistoun Charlatan,she has never been a success,Ultimo was a failure,David Cameron saved her,she would have been back selling drinks if it wasn’t for Cameron.Utter opportunism fuelled by no morals.
Nothing says 'I am really struggling with the consequences of my actions' than being interviewed in your glossy mansion.
Utterly bizarre. Love it that Mone and her sugar daddy genuinely believed this was going to earn them sympathy. That hack's finished as a credible journalist 😁
He is finished, and he has now undermined all the work he has ever done too. Such a tragic waste.
PAY THE MONEY BACK THEN
She claims her mental health is "affected". Yeah, there is a word for that it is called conscious, most of us realize it is bad to do immoral things because it makes us feel bad afterward at a young age. However apparent some people do not and manage to find their way into positions of power, and still do not manage to learn this lesson.
Pathetic. Fraudsters who need to be in prison.
I live on the island and can tell u that these 2 have corruption running through their vains😕
I can imagine that..... Wouldn't be surprised if most of the islanders know how corrupt they are.
@@nickd.6365 they're not handling the abuse very well they're getting from the Manx public👊👊
I'm not an angry person she says. Hmmm! Angry enough to pay for a puff piece of propaganda.
You lied when talking to the press. No I made an error when talking to the press. Normal people call that lying to the press.
Mark Williams-Thomas, did they also give you a paid PR film contract regarding the Spanish Government charges of fraud?
“The indictment calls for them to reimburse B3 Cable to the tune of €6.3m (£5.5m) and the Spanish Treasury €508,590 (£443,902).” The Spanish government case will be heard in Spring 2024. Prosecutors have confirmed they will be seeking jail time for the seven businessmen if they can prove the cases against them next year.
No wonder Mone is worried...
But you weren’t silent. You threatened people with legal action when you knew you were lying.
The timing of this is so suspicious & how dare they insult the public with these fake tears & complete lies. They need to start with returning our money.
Rampant greed and corruption - at least it’s surfaced and out in the open
Justice will be served
Absolutely desperate, has this woman no shame.
Absolutely none but she's in very similar company with her Tory chums.
As if "It wasn't only me" was ever a legitimate excuse
No sympathy at all.
They both think they did the right thing because of words in a contract and because other people did the same.
Normal people see greedy profiteering from the pandemic, they see normal business.
The fact that the PPE was crap just makes it worse.
“Maybe there’s a reason why we’ve gone through it, so that we can help others that have maybe been in the same position as us that don’t have a voice” 🤣 Or maybe it’s because you helped PPE medpro get contracts for millions of pounds worth of PPE and then got a huge kickback.
To think they thought this would work 😂😂😂😂
Literally as thick and arrogant as Prince Andrew
All the money spent on making this glossy documentary could have been returned to the British Taxpayer.
Mark that is a pretty poor average cost calculation. PPE Medpro were contracts toward the end of contracts awarded for masks & gowns. Comparing prices to contracts awarded in April/May is disingenuous.
It's clearly deliberate obfuscation regarding the costing and the certifications. Also the thing about the small percentage of gowns and masks tested is most likely due to the fact that most of them were deemed unusable early on and sent to be destroyed.
@@johnners911 From what I recall most of the unsuitable equipment supplied by companies recommended by Tories, has never been destroyed. Instead it is stored at tax payer's expensive in warehouses owned by another rich Tory (The name escapes me right now)
That wouldn't surprise me at all. I could even believe it was planned that way. I did hear a figure of £700,000 per day for storage, although that was a while ago. As regards their claim of the testing data being from a tiny sample, I meant that it was probably taken from whatever shipment(s) DHAC accepted before realising it was all useless. Barrowmoney and Moan are undoubtedly trying to manipulate the stats of their own failures to save their skins. @@ptonpc
@@ptonpc steve parkin ?
@@Keepthefaith2024 I'm not sure.
The public didn’t know of your involvement because you lied to them!!! Why didn’t you admit your link to Medpro at the beginning? I hope you pay back the money and then you and Mark should go to jail for a very long time!
A wonderful, glossy PR job for Douglas and Michelle paid for by his company PPE Medpro (though I wonder why director Sam Morter had to use the silly background music). After seventy minutes of this, all I want to know is how much of taxpayers' money was profit for their company?
Of course, other suppliers to the NHS during the pandemic should be investigated. Many took advantage of the procurement chaos in Whitehall and made millions after millions in profit.
"Shes not in a good place mentality now", financially shes laughng at us all...to the tune of £29Mil into her family trust fund. Couldn't make this 5hit up !
The whole part of the programme but did you listen to any of it?
watched it all@@grahambird3315
Reading through the comments, your piece has not been received well at all Mark. If anything it comes across as opinionated rather than factual, also it’s more of a deflection tool for Mone & Barrowman , trying to make them out as scapegoats and victims . Surely the first question put to these two should have been “ why did you deny having anything to do with Medpro , publicly and also through three sets of Solicitors “. This isn’t an Investigative piece , it’s a sycophantic storyline trying to muddy the waters .
What also comes over strong is people with zero sector experience getting contracts that involved medical specifications and no idea what they mean while well established companies offering their stock AT NORMAL PRICES could not get their calls returned and had to end up selling their stock to off shore governments.
This was exacerbated by Johnson refusing to join a EU led procurement effort to lever availability and competitive costing.
You made an error when the press enquired, yet you sent them a cease and detist letter through your lawyers every time they ask questions of facts from you. Now, you regret not telling the truth to the press because they caught you out for telling a lie.
Next Mark Williams tells us all about what a great builder Fred West was.
Wow I will certainly look at Mark Williams-Thomas' work differently from now on. His outcome is determined by who pays him & not whether they took advantage of price gouging during a pandemic. He stated the average price paid for a mask was 51p but where this "fact" comes from is dubious. The average is taken between April & May where he has likely "cherry picked" the "average". I bought these same specification masks myself in 2020 and paid around 31p per mask so I know that there were options available. At a volume of 210 million the 30% mark-up was daylight robbery. They were middle men in this transaction and took the tax payers to the cleaners. Meanwhile Doug "tax resident" on the Isle of Man complaining why the public shouldn't be reading about this in the newspapers.
Who would have thought - The Mones use the everyone was at it defence!
236 likes, and Michelle Mone paid for 260 of them 😂
She says how could they not know I was involved yet denied she was involved. Jail time. Living a life of luxury from stealing tax payers money at the height of a National crisis.
