Directors listed are Maurice Stimler of Loudwater Trade & Finance, Anthony Page of ??? who founded it, and Voirrey Coole of Knox House Trust. Much PPE.

Loudwater trade and finance does actually seem to be a distribution company with existing clients like fashion brands, according to their website anyway. It certainly sounds dubious though .

Yeah, normally you'd make a dba or t/a name to do your face masks, or at least have your existing main business the majority shareholder of the new venture, not set up a new company with two unnamed offshore shareholders. e: Looks like Stimler was added as a director on 18 June 2020, so the least shady one was a later addition.

They are getting paid to run stories about covid, I don't really see why the media production process should select for things in the public interest. Any more than the movie industry should select for good movies. If only the BBC was functioning as intended and not as a government mouth piece

I mean even if the contract is awarded on an entirely corrupt basis part of the arrangement is still going to be delivering the PPE, so there has to be an actual procurement company involved at some point.

Well you might think that but the Brexit ferry company didn't have any ferries and the ports they said they'd use didn't have the depth to take in ferries without serious excavation so no, there really really doesn't.

peanut- posted:I genuinely don’t get why this story seems to have gone nowhere. Yes our media is right wing, but even so overt financial corruption stories are usually catnip for them and they will report against anyone. The only part of the media that ever reports on financial corruption in government is private eye. This isn't really a new thing.

Seems like if someone in the Westminster bubble were to start making noise about this then the press would at least have to pretend to care. What we need is some kind of body within Parliament itself whose role is to keep the Government honest (or at least not too obviously dishonest). We could call it Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Nah that's crazy talk.

Depends whether the UK is still at the stage of being a _functioning_ kleptocracy or not. If a normal government contract pays 5%, and a corrupt one 10%, simply taking the money and running is a 100% profit margin. And not much more chance of going to jail than regular corruption. Especially if the companies running the jails are making the same calculation
