This QC is very sore about Brexit, did everything he could to stop it, i reckon there are loads of companies and peiple out there that have profitted from this pandemic, it was always going to happen, people make money out of tragedies, so this is no different and doesn't come as a surprise, look at his tweet history, all anti-tory, anti-Boris and anti-brexit. 

We are told on here not to believe twitter, its full of cranks and untruths, unless it suits their narrative 😉 

Absolutely. It's very interesting that he's conducting his business on twitter.

He should take his concerns to the authorities. If there genuinely is profiteering/cronyism going on then it should be rooted out.

At the same time, its not just someone close to an mp that could be doing it. When this first kicked off I was charged £12 for a single mask by a chemist. I know that their prices had been bumped up, but as you say, someone, somewhere, was raking it in.

I assume that's what he was getting at. Any chance to have a dig.

Where were you in Northumberland?

If a qc has genuine evidence, he should pass it to the police. MPs and advisors aren't above the law.

They looked into my eyesight test remember. OK nowt happened, but if this qc is alleging fraud, then that's a different kettle of fish.

Aye. I’m a cynical twat at the best of times so I’d be amazed if owt come of it. Looks like he’s using twitter to crowdfund some sort of investigation/case

See Mick, that's what I'd find odd. A bloke in his position could potentially be cocking up any future police investigation.

I'd have more sympathy if he went to the BBC or some such as a secondary option if he had no luck with the authorities. Via twatter- nah.

Pass taking apart, you been up to that part of the country much?

County Durham and Northumberland both fantastic and a great place to escape covid if you wanted.

Modern world innit. Instant reach. Go to the bbc they’ll likely sit on it for ages.

Not for ages

Dad was stationed up Barnard Castle so we went a couple of times when I was a kid

Always chilly that east coast. I'm booked in Wales first week Sept, lockdown permitting

What did he do?

We'd go up there permanently if the circumstances were right. Lovely part of the world.

Army camp isn't it?

[Tonge moor green jacket]

All sorts up that way.

Stainton camp.

Yep. 

Great walk from Embleton to Craster. Beach and/or fields through rolling sea mist. Pub in Craster overlooking the North Sea, waves lapping at the rocks upon which it stands.

Crab soup with whiskey and cream.

Seahouses has gulls to rival any of Gonzo's fylde coast finest.

Rise in infections today, deaths at 49 and lower than other Friday figures. Obviously more testing, around 350k a day is going to produce more positive tests. Track & Trace has down a couple of percent on last week. 

All positive stuff, going in the right direction and with the easing of lockdown as well.

 

174k processed in the last 24 hours. Probably can divide that by two for the number of people tested.

I'd hazard a guess you're the most prolific poster in this thread, Mr Pot. Have less beer.

Don't drink. If you had half a memory you'd know that, but you're too busy sniping.

He's clearly got an issue as he is forever diving in over the issue of numbers.

You and him are peas in a pod. Owt to moan about.
