Is anyone else feeling incredibly disallusioned with the state of the country?
The corruption is so obvious and yet no one is talking about it. Reports get released when other 'bigger' news is about so it doesn't get coverage and now the media is back talking about Covid and party-gate instead of the £21 billion pound of fraud and waste from the government in just 2 years

    @Adeline I've seen reports of it being in the billions but never seen the £21 billion figure. Is that the PPE that couldn't be used and the loans? Or is that the cost of the investigations too?

    Carol Vorderman (of all people!!) explains it much better than me. It's a long video but you only need to watch the first 60 seconds
