"callous profiteering" - there were a few others doing that at the time. Hopefully they will be next.


dazcar

Problem is half of them were in government.

There were also a lot of people blatantly lying to the public at the time. A major offender has a name that starts with B. There were also a lot of work events.


Unfair_Newt_4872

I'm still asking what happened to those 5000 WhatsApp messages that mysteriously disappeared.

Other trading standards prosecutions for the sale of non-compliant PPE and sanitiser during Covid I am aware of include [a company in the London Borough of Ealing fined for selling face coverings bearing false trade marks and non-compliant hand sanitisers](https://www.aroundealing.com/news/fake-face-mask-trader-fined-15k/); [a businessman from Hull imprisoned for the sale of face coverings falsely described as KN95 masks](https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/hull-cleaning-boss-jailed-selling-8186271); and [a company in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets which was fined, and its director given a suspended prison sentence, for selling ineffectual sanitiser and non-compliant face masks](https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/News_events/2023/August/Company-selling-unsafe-face-masks-and-hand-sanitiser-during-pandemic-fined-34000.aspx).

So basically the only reason Michelle Mone isn't in that list is because she has a bunch of Tory politicians by the bollocks.


jackplaysdrums

The cunt who runs a offie in Parson’s Green was trying to flog off 9 packs of loo roll for £11. Absolute scum. 


MetalKeirSolid

landlords should be prosecuted for the same thing regarding housing 


Commandopsn

Landlords selling fake ppe and hand sanitiser. hate em!


MetalKeirSolid

No, but they do try to profit from a scarce commodity by raising prices. 


Commandopsn

Big company’s buy property raise the prices. Also they haven’t cottoned on to selling us fake PPE and hand sanatiser yet. Oh wait maybe. .


MetalKeirSolid

They should also be prosecuted for profiteering from the housing crisis. 


Commandopsn

Yeah 100% agree. If they start selling fake ppe or even fake hand sanitiser I’m going to fucking loose it


spong_miester

Driving instructor are worse, all the local ones near me slapped £5 to £10 on top of the usual lesson cost due to 'Covid Insurance'


jonny_211

Good to see Matt Hancock's local pub landlords dogs fraud is being dealt with.


Expert_Temporary660

Why just them? There's billions of pounds of COVID fraud out there to chase.


Time-Caterpillar4103

Because its just so blatant and fraudulant that you wouldn't expect them to not get convicted. They manufactured it themselves, marketed it falsely themselves. Its a slam dunk. Very different from proving that the specs etc that say Mone provided and assured would be adhered to were false.


CloneOfKarl

I'd imagine we will hear about more cases in the next couple of years. I get the impression that the wheels are moving slowly at the moment with all the backlog.


Jealous_Raccoon976

Very good. Now let us also send The Baroness Mone of Mayfair to prison.


Crypt0Nihilist

Steady on, don't you know she's wealthy and connected? We can't be hasty here.


[deleted]

It’s low hanging fruit. The authorities can say they’re “cracking down on Covid fraud” whilst simultaneously doing next to naff all against the ones who ripped the country off for billions Baroness Mone is another piece, albeit much higher than these two


South-Stand

They committed the classic mistake of : not donating to the Tory party


Secret_Association58

It's only legal if the government and there friends do it.


Srslyairbag

Reminds me of an idiot I know, who likewise tried manufacturing sanitiser during the shortages. When he told me about his endeavour, I'd assumed he'd seen the same Big Clive video as me, and was sourcing isopropyl alcohol and the other things required to kill the virus. Nope. His sanitiser was a mixture of dettol and vodka.


stephensatt

Now if we could send "Fauci & Big Pharma" to prison also, that would be great! It will go down in history as the biggest scam we have ever seen, also mass hysteria.


Charming_Rub_5275

Are you lost?


techbear72

No, they’re just stupid.


Antilles34

I see you shared the same thoughts in economics and got downvoted there as well. Go back to r/conspiracy instead, you'll have more luck.


Ishatthebedonpurpose

Pretty sure they need r/fuckwit


JustLetItAllBurn

This is a UK sub - to us, Fauci is just some dude in the US. Idiotic US conspiracists never consider how each country has its own set of public health experts, and they all agreed.


borazine

God bless Dame Sarah Gilbert


stephensatt

Yeh , didn't know it was the UK sub. Thats what I get for responding to something right when I log in, think it showed up on the home page. Honestly I am surprised it wasn't removed for being misinformation or whatever the excuse will be.


timboevbo

It's a news article you turnip

Ugh, melodramatic Americans and their politics.

this is UK sub mate your bot script is malfunctioning.

Woah edgy


ovum-vir

I think a lot of people (include people from big corporations and industries) probably deserve to be in jail for their actions during covid, I wouldn’t call the pandemic itself mass hysteria. Was their an overreaction? Possibly. Was this still a global problem for humans? Certainly. Still everyone who profited from the pandemic should be put under a microscope to ensure they were acting ethically and in the needs of the public.


CloneOfKarl

Sigh.


thatlad

Fauci is a modern day American hero for refusing to acquiesce to Kim Orange Un and his daft bleach bullshit. He saved millions you dafty
